Mirrorball
Mirrorball was recorded over 35 shows during Sarah McLachlan's 1998 spring tour in support of Surfacing. Mirrorball captures a period of time in the evolution of Sarah's musical career and includes such songs as Angel, Building a Mystery, Adia, Possession and the first single I Will Remember You.
Sarah discusses Mirrorball:
Question:
One of the things that is a recognized commodity in the music business when someone puts out a live album, it's usually for a couple of reasons. One, to buy that artist some time; a break from the business. And in some cases it's also used to close one door and walk through another. So is it one or both for you?
Sarah:
I'd say it's all of the above and then some. Probably more the first one and more of something else. I definitely need some time in between records. I'm probably going to take a year off, if not more, over the next year and the year 2000. I'll be writing but I'm not going to really pursue anything. Because of this I might lose some of my band members that I have right now. I think I have a really incredible and tight band. The main reason is wanting to document that and capture some of that - that great energy - you know, the fun that we've been having over the past couple of years of playing together, and I think they're a really great band. That's the main reason... definitely.
Question:
Why these songs? Or did they choose themselves?
Sarah:
They chose themselves. Versions became clear although I have to give a huge amount of credit to my husband because he was the one who spent hours and hours and weeks and weeks musically to find the best tracks and I listened and said yeah, that's the best one. We set out to mix every single song... there are 23 songs and obviously you can't have that many on a CD so the strong ones definitely leapt out.
Question:
Out off all of these songs, which one gave you the most surprises, which one did you not think had the life that it ended up having?
Sarah:
I Love You. I say that because I considered it not one of the strongest tracks live because it sounded like so much the record to me. I felt if you are going to do something live you should try to change it around a little bit. But when I heard it back, I really... it's one of my favourite songs anyway and I think it's different enough, and the musicians - even though we are remaining quite close to the way it sounds on the record - everybody brings a different thing to it. That one really stood out to me... this needs to go on the record even though it does sound similar to the original recorded version. It definitely moves away from it and emotionally I sing it quite differently as well.
Question:
I guess I better ask you why Mirrorball?
Sarah:
I really don't know, you know. I guess I don't have a great answer for that except that I'm just addicted to mirror balls. I begged my lighting director to bring some on the road with us the last tour. He finally said, "okay, okay, we'll do it." There is something about singing under a mirror ball when it's going and the lights are down and that thing's moving on its axis, shining up the world in its kind of Coca-Cola moment kind of way. I don't know, it's really romantic and it's rock 'n' roll, it's glam, it's all those amazing things that I think about when I think about music and the lifestyle.
