Don Felder co-writes song with Sarah McLachlan

[sodascouts]

First off, I have to say that Sarah McLachlan is one of my favorite singer/songwriters EVER, so I think this is amazingly cool!

Don co-wrote the song "Turn the Lights Down Low" with her. Today, he posted a link to hear a sample:

It's on her new album Shine On which comes out tomorrow.

I can't wait to hear the whole thing!

I love her too...seems like an odd pair to write together...I wonder how they got together?...I loved the clip of the song!

Very cool!

My knowledge of artists and bands is rather limited. I know only a few (and I know them well). So I must confess that I've never even heard of Sarah McLachlan. :blush: Which songs should I check out first? (Maybe this thread isn't the right place to ask this...)

Chaim, she is a Canadian singer-songwriter who was pretty popular in the mid-late 90s here in the US.

I would say to listen to the song "Possession" - probably her best and most famous. (She included in the lyrics some lines written to her by a stalker in a letter, and then he tried to sue her for copyright infringement! ("And I would be the one to hold you down, kiss you so hard, I'll take your breath away.") Both albums Fumbling Towards Ecstasy and Surfacing - all of the songs are good.

Agree it is an interesting collaboration - I think these artists meet at industry events, get along well while they're cocktailing, and decide to do a "project" together!

she has a beautiful haunting quality to her voice...

She does have a beautiful voice. I loved the song Angel from the movie City of Angels. Brings me to tears every time I hear it.

Don mentioned Sarah in an interview last year. He said Sarah and him had written a song together at his house but didn’t give many details about the collaboration.

I love Sarah. She really has a beautiful voice and is a talented songwriter. I’m looking forward to hearing the whole song!

Sarah will appear on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” tonight.

Thanks for the heads-up!

I'm starting a thread for her:
