拥有欧西乐坛"知性女声掌门人"之称,以电影《天使之城》主题曲"Angel天使"轰动全球,两届葛莱美奖最佳流行女歌手得主莎拉克劳克兰(Sarah Mclachlan),以她独濯于一般泛泛流行乐音的歌声以及创作,跳脱出流行商业机制的摆弄,仿佛从一处超越俗尘外的境地,将她对音乐与自我的执着,汇成一道清流注入歌坛。这位来自加拿大的创作歌手不但以清澈蜿蜒川流般的歌声,服贴了许多听者的耳朵与心灵,她的创作更是将优美的旋律和展现出时而感动人心、时而露裎信念的多样面貌歌词包裹成流行抒情乐界最具个人风格的派别之一。
莎拉从小就学习钢琴和吉他,同时也受过歌唱训练。她在八0年代曾组过新浪潮乐团October Game,因为在团中出色的表现而被唱片公司发掘。步入歌坛的第一张专辑《感触(Touch)》就幸运地获得全球发行的机会,莎拉的歌声因此从加拿大被引介到国外,也打开了她往竞争激烈的英美歌坛叩关的契机。接下来整个九0年代,莎拉陆续发表了几张叫好又叫座的专辑,像是充分表达其人文关怀的《忘我的追寻(Fumbling Towards Ecstasy)》、继续伸张其世界观的《自由会议 (The Freedom Sessions)》、1997年为她攫获首座葛莱美奖的《透明(Surfacing)》专辑、1999年展现其演唱实力并再度拿下一座葛莱美奖的《水晶球深情现场精选(Mirrorball)》等等。而"Building A Mystery"、"I Will Remember You"、"Angel"…等曲,更让莎拉兼融优雅、神秘、深情的高醇度歌声,深植全球歌迷心中。

再附上歌词:
spend all your time waiting
for that second chance
for a break that would make it okay
there's always one reason
to feel not good enough
and it's hard at the end of the day
i need some distraction
oh beautiful release
memory seeps from my veins
let me be empty
and weightless and maybe
i'll find some peace tonight
in the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there
so tired of the straight line
and everywhere you turn
there's vultures and thieves at your bac
k
and the storm keeps on twisting
you keep on building the lie
that you make up for all that you lack
it don't make no difference
escaping one last time
it's easier to believe in this sweet mad
ness oh
this glorious sadness that brings me to
my knees
in the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here
