Sarah McLachlan/Tear Jerker

This Canadian songbird can write some very moving songs.


 * Oh, god. "Angel". Just, don't try listening to that song when you're having a fun time. No, don't play it! DON'T PLAY IT!!! WAAAAAHH!!! [lets out tears]
 * As you can see above, "Angel" is a prime One-Woman Wail. Especially when the song plays over a montage of sad animals during that ASPCA commercial.
 * There is another ASPCA commercial with "Answer" playing over it -- "Cast me gently into morning, for the night has been unkind" -- combined with a montage of abused animals.
 * "I Will Remember You" is probably one of the saddest "goodbye" songs one could ever listen to, and has been used for two different series finales: Melrose Place and Felicity. It can be a very powerful tearjerker for people who have lost someone.
 * And for Buffy the Vampire Slayer fans everywhere, "Full Of Grace". Although, even without that association, this song is sad enough. Add in that ending, and it only gets worse.
 * Then there is "Fallen".
 * And "Hold On", which came about when she was hearing about a HIV-negative woman who was watching her lover's slow death from AIDS.
 * "When She Loved Me". That is all.
 * "Man-Erg".
 * "I Love You", to those who fell in love with someone, but was/is too scared to tell them.
