Building A Mystery

After spending most of my life working in the entertainment industry, there are few shows that I haven't seen several times, or that I need to. In fact, I have not specifically asked to see anyone since we've been down here 5 years ago.

Until now.

Sarah McLachlan was amazing last night.

I pulled my spousal strings, and got 10 friends into the suite where we dined on wine and cheese before being completely captivated by the voice and powerful lyrics of this woman. I've always been a fan of her music, her poetry has haunted me specifically during some times of my life, but I was truly in awe last night.


What an incredible Ladies Night to boot.

Do What You Have To Do (One of my favs)
By Sarah McLachlan

What ravages of spirit
conjured this temptuous rage
created you a monster
broken by the rules of love
and fate has lead you through it
you do what you have to do
and fate has led you through it
you do what you have to do ...

and I have the sense to recognize that
I don't know how to let you go
every moment marked
with apparitions of your soul
I'm ever swiftly moving
trying to escape this desire
the yearning to be near you
I do what I have to do
the yearning to be near you
I do what I have to do
but I have the sense to recognize

that I don't know how
to let you go
I don't know how
to let you go

a glowing ember
burning hot
burning slow
deep within I'm shaken by the violence
of existing for only you

I know I can't be with you
I do what I have to do
I know I can't be with you
I do what I have to do
and I have sense to recognize but
I don't know how to let you go
I don't know how to let you go
I don't know how to let you go
