Editor's note

Sarah McLachlan, the quiet voice of Lilith Fair

A Canadian singer-songwriter whose songs like 'Angel' found a home in quiet moments.

If you want to get her vibe, put on 'Angel' and 'I Will Remember You'. That's the space she works in.

Her music has a way of showing up where you need it, whether it's 'Angel' playing over a sad movie scene or 'I Will Remember You' on the radio late at night. It's not about big choruses for stadiums; it's the kind of stuff that feels like a one-on-one conversation. That directness is what made her a natural fit to help start Lilith Fair, putting that same personal focus into building a festival around women's voices.

She came out of Halifax with 'Solace' in 1991, an album that introduced songs like 'Possession'. From there, she kept writing in that vein on records like 'Fumbling Towards Ecstasy' and 'Surfacing', while her advocacy work with Lilith Fair and animal welfare grew alongside the music.

Archive material and source history

Sarah McLachlan is a Canadian singer-songwriter from Halifax, Nova Scotia. Her 1991 album 'Solace' brought her wider attention, with songs like 'In The Arms Of The Angel' and 'Possession' establishing her approach to emotionally direct songwriting. She followed that with albums including 'Fumbling Towards Ecstasy' in 1993 and 'Surfacing' in 1997.

In 1997, she co-founded the Lilith Fair, a traveling music festival with all-female lineups that raised money for women's charities. She has also been involved with animal welfare advocacy through her Sarah McLachlan Foundation. Her work in these areas has run alongside her music career rather than being separate from it.

Her songs like 'Angel' and 'I Will Remember You' became familiar through radio and film placements, giving her music a presence that felt personal to listeners rather than broadly anthemic. She recorded holiday material too, including 'In The Bleak Mid-Winter.'
