Fumbling Towards Ecstasy live (Mirrorball dvd)

[fwegeg]

I always picture myself being arrested for a woman while listening to this song.

[ericsharon18]

she is such a delicate soal and this song and rhythm says it all love ya sara

[tennis4aday]

taste resides here

[Kalimata101]

This is probably the best song in her repertoire. It always reminds me of "Kissed"

[Galileus070]

Class. 

[wong2b]

Ashwin Sood does'nt start playing till 0:59, listen to the record version to really get the feeling of this number

[TheWaynos73]

its a fantastic performance and she did this flawlessly when I saw her perform

[MsMaliB]

Oh, the fear has left me now.

I'm not frightened anymore.

It's my heart that pounds beneath my flesh

It's my mouth that pushes out this breath...

I just love this song! This is my new anthem! I won't fear love. So long, I've been afraid to look for love and be found by love. No more!

[alphafemale80]

Have Loved and will always love this song!

[dmwcany]

Stunning, on all counts!

[3rdsidewalker]

She's a goddess

[12laube12]

I agree with the other person--this is one of the prettiest songs I've ever heard in my life. Love you Sarah, you are gorgeous and super talented.

[miway46]

I put this cd on in my sound room, fire up the bowl and go back to the best time in my life. I miss her so much !

[weherleyd]

@miway46 You should have just said. I'm lesbian and smoke pot,weed trees or what ever you call it..

[TheDeedzman]

passionate

[Waynos73]

No way surfacing rocks and laws of illusion is as good as anything she's put put during the touch/solace era

[manco82]

I feel that Sarah peaked in 1993-1994 with Fumbling Towards Ecstasy, and sold out in 1995 with "I Will Remember You". That song laid the generic, adult contemporary template for the next 15 years. But before that 1988-1994, was the REAL vital Sarah McLachlan.

[mjedra7466]

@manco82 thanks for pointless info., that is known , the talent you don't have ,she will ,forever,

keep the hate, and info, cuase its not what its about.......................

[mjedra7466]

@manco82 thanks for pointless info., that is known , the talent you don't have ,she will forever,

keep the hate, and info,becuase its not what its about.......................

[gravelandgrain100]

@manco82 -

There are alot of her fans that feel the same way you do. I believe FTE is her best work ever. But I loved Surfacing too. She has gone on a different tangent with Laws Of Illusion, it doesn't measure up to her early albums-kinda went the way of Lilith, too many irons in the fire.

Sarah should abandon Lilith and go back to her own music.

[gravelandgrain100]

@gravelandgrain100-

wow talk about turnaround time on my request. RIP-Lilith, and can't wait to see what Sarah's next album is like, quite excited!!!

[denister2008]

This is one of my most favorites signers right next to

Sarah Brightman, Dido, Paula Cole and Gwen Stephani (On Tragic Kingdom)

[gravelandgrain100]

You could go through a dictionary 1000 times backwards and forwards and not even touch the amount of words to even think of describing this song. Sarah is just a beautiful person with a radiant soul. Her music may go quiet with the click of you mp3 player, but her passion will remain with you to your last breath.

[Daervar]

fantastic song!

[starion34]

I don't know what it is about this song either. But for this 40 year man the hair stands on the back of my neck and the tears come. Everytime.

[ggarro]

1:24 to 1:27 kill me now!

[HernGeo]

@ggarro Yeah, that was fucking hawt, never noticed that before.

[ggarro]

@HernGeo hahaha... best 3 seconds! freakin hawt as hell! :)

[gorgeousgeorge23]

Sarah, will you marry me?

[crob647gtx]

very mysterious and affectionate, great song to create an atmosphere if you know what i mean

[kanwulfNL]

@fwegeg i think its the lyrics and melody.. they both very great.. and ofcourse the singer

[uncledonny100]

Your so right i can get all that, now I just need the woman, who loves Sarah,s music as much as I do, Now that!!! would be living large

[pokkerfriend]

is my favorite song, im from monterrey mexico and i'll want see her some day lov sarahhhhh muaksss

[ysnicker]

intense, erotic, soulful, touching..and then some...I heart every one of her songs but this is one of my fav's

[cgheld]

This album has a brilliant flow from beginning to end, with "Possession" and "Fumbling Towards Ecstasy" acting as the perfect bookends.

[Cathwrynn]

i love this song- it came into my life when I really needed these words and the energy of this magickal woman. see my blogsite post about this cathwrynn.wordpress

[gravelandgrain100]

This version of "Fumbling Towards Ecstacy" is my favorite, my god everything from Sarah's voice to the raging guitar is perfect. As if this song wasn't perfect to begin with. I actually feel electricity from head to toe when I listen to this song!

[ThePowerofFritz]

@ SVPERSTAR if you can arrange a better musical composition than "Fumbling Towards Ecstasy" or write better Lyrics I highly recommend you change careers and get started... This piece of music is a masterpiece.

[AnjektusStudio]

Nice lightning, voice and song, I woud like to she if she has group in the back playing the music

[Balenciaga18]

sensual, intriguing and so captivating.....

[svperstar]

Good lord this is nothing compared to the album version. Drums are too overpowering live and that guitar solo was hideous.

[LurzyLarz]

id like to see you play guitar like that.

[Toolshed76]

Your kidding right? I play guitar and that solo was amazing! To each his own I guess...

[svperstar]

I dunno, it is just that Fumbling, as a whole, had a lot of "found sound" aspects to it that were ditched on Surfacing (and onwards). And I just think she made the wrong career choice to head deeper into adult contemporary music instead of being a tad bit more experimental in her approach and arrangement.

[svperstar]

She has been moving sideways since Fumbling, and I just think of what could have been had she decided to be a little more experimental. I'm not saying an all out Kid A career move, and I sure am not talking about pop-synth, but maybe more of a ... Bjork-lite sound, but not that extreme.

[yumasight]

this song is such an answer to the heart

[AdiSlepi]

This song will slice your heart into two, guaranteed...

[PinkHarlequin]

The most beautiful and talented artist.

[daeleesa]

The most gorgeous Sarah song ever. I really hope her new album (I think I read coming out in April 2010? somewhere around there) has some of this feel to it. Quintessential Sarah, right here, ladies and gentlemen. :)

[violatrix]

this song is the soundtrack to like 3 years of my life back in the late 90's!

[corrsgalore]

it's still the soundtrack to my life! :)

[gravelandgrain100]

A voice larger than life, a person with feet firmly planted on earth. Sarah IS the real deal. mandatory listening for ANY music fan.

[isthereanythingavail]

To me it's about letting go and just being instead of thinking all the time. Let it out when you feel like it to stop repressing our feelings! Gorgeous!

[gorgeousgeorge23]

"Peace,

in the struggle to find peace,

comfort,

on the way to comfort"

Who says that?!. .Pure genuis.

[manxlucky]

Agree, pure lyricism!

[b3juj4g]

Just speechless....

This song (this live version particularly) always devours my soul every time I listen to. So much emotion colliding in the song.

[SecretIVUIIHear]

Since released (not fortunate enough to have been there when recorded) Goosbumps cover my entire body whenever it's played. My all time favorite from Sarah. Mirrorball live... a cornerstone in Canadian music. With all my love to you Beautiful Kind Lady.

[flajazz76]

Negative sees negative in everything it wants to ..

This is a beautiful song about life and passion and love. Keep the negative mess to your own torment and don't poison beautiful things!!!

[eskarinaaissa]

I just replied to mlluviano72's comment which disturbed me, of course I want to enjoy this song, i am a huge fan of Sarah Mc lachlan, I just happen to have strong feelings concerning suicide (stupidest thing anyone can ever do) and I coulnd't help myself from replying.

Alright people? :) Let's just enjoy this beautiful music.

[funkywhite]

Awesome video! Great performance!

[Alizee89Lg]

Super Extra Cool SONG !!!

[eskarinaaissa]

NOTHING and NO ONE is worth suicide. It's sad to hear a song from this incredible artist was chosen as soundtrack for a suicide vide. the very existance of extreme video sites makes me sick. If we as humans have an appetite for the horrible or grotesque sensational it doesn't mean we have to give in to it. this is what adulthood is about, knowing how not to give in to all "needs" and impulses as opposed to what a teenager or a child would do...

[roberto33229]

What are you thinking? I see life not sucide!!

[funkywhite]

Hmm... I guess I know absolutely nothing about this song being used as a background to a video about a girl committing suicide. Did you see the video yourself? People said that Phil Collins "In the Air Tonight" was about someone who he saw drowning, etc. but it wasn't true. Regardless, that incident has nothing to do with this song. Please don't ruin this song / video discussing what some crazy person did. People do crazy stupid stuff all the time. Suicide is very very sad, I'm not denying that.

[mlluviano72]

It's very sad to have come across such a nice song froma video of a beautiful having hung herself over a man. Very depressing. I will never be able to hear this song in it's original genuinity. I keep seeing her face.

[theplaid1]

her music is so honest, hard to find geniune artists that actually care about what they write.

[misshelloween]

Canta y baila como Sinead O'Connor...

[ShaskaOcelot]

Holy shit! I heard that song on a video all over extreme sites where a cute girl commit suicide by hanging.

[Newbpwng]

lol i seen it on a video like that also

[Toolshed76]

Lower the lights and get some candles, pull out the satin sheets and grab a bottle of wine. Put this track on and your woman will melt!

[Daervar]

@Toolshed76 :)

[KabbalahWestCoast]

@Toolshed76 It's NOT ABOUT SEX DUDE OR SEDUCING PEOPLE....WEIRD! I would rather not read the comments and have songs ruined...true hippies wouldn't put this song in s sex box! THX! LoveUGodBless, T and J KABBALAH MATTHEWSHEPARD MADONNALICIOUS

[Toolshed76]

@KabbalahWestCoast I don't see how your comment relates to mine. Maybe you responded to the wrong post.

[matthewandrews1987]

@Toolshed76 take a blow torch to her face and she will melt quicker hahahah

[layla251]

@matthewandrews1987 wtf is wrong with you???

[Pollensalta9]

I cry every time I hear this song

[DurkabaJung]

This version is what got me into her music.. so good

[wowsera]

margo timmins

[MKECBS1]

brilliance. that beat, the guitars and that voice. not the sort of music i would usually listen to but thus album is beyound musical genius

[tommyboy460]

She needs to be playing or holding a guitar or something the way she dances is distracting

[Waynos73]

she does perform this with a guitar occasionally

[dennisl2008]

Now THIS is true Musical Art fully realized.

[aktake2]

this is true class ppl..this is brilliance

[Pollensalta9]

This is the greatest song ever written and performed. Ever.

[Morgaine5280]

The best song ever. Have the text painted on my living room wall! Serious.

[Waynos73]

I would to if i owned the place i lived in

- hands down some of the most profound lyrics

ever put to paper...

[HeartRocksOut]

That's amazing...I did lyrics too...but of all different songs.  Glad I'm not the only one out there with "writing on the wall"

[Morgaine5280]

I also have Alison Krauss with "That kind of love" and Amanda Ghost with "Silverlining" in my bedroom. My wife meant I'm crazy, but now she like it a lot.

[grabowo]

youre good material for another stalker of hers

[Morgaine5280]

Stalker? Why? Because I like her music and especially that song? Well, in my book, it's called lover of music with good lyrics.

[HeartRocksOut]

ha ha...sort of funny...but only stalker-ish if he's got pics posted and follows her around...the lyrics thing is pretty cool.

[Morgaine5280]

Nope, neither picture and no following, since I live in Germany and don't even know where she lives. *g*

And sorry, but I'm a woman.

[HeartRocksOut]

my bad...but hey--i don't think you are a stalker...appreciating the song and displaying the lyrics is kinda cool...i think.

[Morgaine5280]

I knew, you didn't think it. I'm just glad so far no one is agreeing with this particular comment.

[thuff743]

These lyrics gave me the courage to get married after a series of reasons to fear love. Having them in your living room is an awesome reminder that life can turn out well. best wishes.

[Waynos73]

That is so cool that you did that - I'd so love to see a pic of your lyrics on the wall

if you'd like to share :)

[giusino]

sublime!

[aonewomancrowd]

One true artist!

[tommunz]

Wow!

[Waynos73]

I love how she just waves and saunters off leaving the band to finish the song...too cool...

[INTJ24]

why is she so..........

[DurkabaJung]

This is amazing inspirational just beautiful

[cheeseUout]

are all the songs on mirror ball from before her Surfacing album?

[Waynos73]

All the songs from Mirrorball are from

her first four records - Touch, Solace, Fumbling and Surfacing. But yes this was

the Surfacing tour.

[manxlucky]

This is so different from the studio version. It is utterly sensual and just a touch erotic. It just builds and becomes almost metal by the end.

But Sarah!!!!!!!!!!

[litford]

i love how she's entirely barefoot throughout the entire set -)

[Toolshed76]

It's hard to believe that only 12,000 people have viewed this song. So many people are missing out on one of the best artists out there today. Rock on Sarah!

[Karinita74]

Está canción de Sarah... realmente es poesía para todos los sentidos, es como un mantra para alejar los miedos y prejuicios y darle la bienvenida al amor, hacer caso a lo que uno siente, e ir más allá como ser humano. Me da más valor que un tequila,ja. La escucho y me identifico completamente en esa búsqueda. Definitivamente una de sus 3 mejores canciones. Sarah, fabulosa; Mirrorball, imprescindible.

[fwegeg]

Me hace daño escuchar esta cancion, el problema es, que no puedo dejar de escucharla.

[pokkerfriend]

@Karinita74 en vddd que tu comentario me lleno muchisimooo, me cayo como anillo al dedo, tus palabras me resultaron magicas para mi, gracias por escibirlas y si esta cancion es mi favorita de sarah y ahorita estoy atravesando por una situacion dificil ocn una persona, por sus miedos no los mios :(

[aktake2]

this is so damn ethereal

[Toolshed76]

Sarah makes me proud to be a Canadian.

[bluensunshine]

Wish I was a Canadian, too :)

[Waynos73]

This song is just epic. it just builds and builds and builds until it finally breaks...ecstacy indeed. Brilliant stuff.

[AldaHuxley]

I totally agree. I never get tired of it. I love the Mirrorball version. It's so sensuous, my God.

[KamilaCiecholinska]

I have a Mirrorball DVD and I love it! Sarah is my favourite female artist and I respect she very much. She is amazing. I love she's voice and beautiful songs and this song is one of my favourities. Great video ;)

[aktake2]

man i love this song...so deep

[lvmamus]

that's a very sensual song.. it gave me chills! this one and air-playground love..

[Waynos73]

I love Air - I think Moon Safari is the

pinnacle of chill out - that and this artist right here :)

[RudiNosferatu]

She's a Pre-Raphaelite...

[fwegeg]

I think this song is about loving someone that you know isn't right for you

[Waynos73]

I think you'll find that Sarah sings about that in 'Do What You Have To Do' which is

exactly about that. But I can see where you're coming from.

[marcaressica]

ah, good observation. i love girls like that.

[gravelandgrain100]

@fwegeg -

therefore the soundtrack to my life....:)

[smcl98]

I wish I was Ashwin.

[vidiludiexulti]

Duh,You, the guy who used to stalk Her who killed himself, and anyone else who isn't dead inside... and probably a few who otherwise are~!

[smcl98]

Yeah, that sounds a bit stalkery. I just think her music is outstanding and she is very beutifull. No stalker her, just a fan.

[vidiludiexulti]

I Love the ultrasmoothe adage with the slow hand motions in the way She dances... at the beginning anyway. She seems to trance out on Herself and the band and lose a bit of control... which is cool too!

[73barras]

i absolutely love it! the best song ever...

[iamtallerthanher]

just came across this....its really quite good....i love unearthing great musicians..can anyone tell me any more of this bands good songs?

[Em2507]

Every Sarah McLachlan-song is pure gold :) Just buy Mirrorball and Fumbling Towards Ecstacy, you'll like it!

[Waynos73]

Tis Sarah McLachlan you speak of - and the band is her band - Sarah rules! watch Mirrorball and die happy! lol

[Waynos73]

Oh yeah and the first and second guitar

solos are f**king brilliant - I have watched metal heads and guitarists jaws drop to the floor with these solos - and they thought they'd hate this sort of music! lol

[jh4124]

Sarah has always had an absolutely top notch band. I watch the Afterglow live DVD all the time and nearly every one in that band has their own music career and they are all really great.

I've met Sean Ashby (playing the V here) and he's such a great guy. He's got his own CD out (as does Luke, from Afterglow live).

A lot of her band members have been with her for a long time, and a lot of them play together in other bands as well, so they stay close.

I love it.

[jh4124]

Her live band is very carefully picked. I suggest you watch the newest DVD (Afterglow Live). It features:

Sean Ashby

Brian Minato

Katheryn Rose

Luke Doucet

Who all have their own solo careers and are quite impressive in and of themselves.

But all of Sarah's live DVDs are great.

[Waynos73]

Former guitarist David Sinclair used to be KD Lang's axeman - he is truly awesome and

seriously underrated and Luke's band is Moist isnt it? They're a pretty great band!

[jh4124]

I haven't followed David too much, but he's great in Sarah's stuff that I've seen. Luke was in a band called Veal in the late 90's for a while, he's doing solo stuff now and fronts a band with his wife called "The White Falcon" (Named after his Gretsch guitar) The album is called "Blood's too rich"

[Waynos73]

Oh Veal - thats right...i think it might

have been Sean Ashby's band - so you know

these guys pretty well then?

[jh4124]

I haven't got the chance to see Luke yet (next time he's in the states I will for sure) but I was really lucky and got to meet Sean after a concert and he's a really great guy. We had been talking online for a while and we still keep in touch. I don't think he was ever in a band called "Moist" though.

[psychofish4444]

anyone know what this is about?  i absolutely love it!

[Waynos73]

Sarah's said it herself that her music is

mainly up to your interpretation. I think

its about not giving up on love, about picking yourself up when you fail, about

not being afraid to try...thats what I get out of it anyway...

[FrankeeSIM]

she`s one of the greatest musicians! I love her music...

[tonesgirl996]

mos def a song to make love to. its so just beautiful and deep. very sensual................love it

[suspended]

that one blew my socks off!

[Waynos73]

One of the best live performances by ANY

artist EVER. Simply awesome! How good is

the starlight backdrop too? wow!

[vertetrouge]

No kidding. She's rocking it, and it doesn't sound like the typical live band. And her voice...makes everyone sound like chain-smoking alcoholics(They probably are...).

[greennovel]

i believe this song is about passion and love

[101481]

mirroball! the soundtrack of my life! and this song is my ultimate fave.

[roadster84]

Lovely... no, I won't fear love. Thank you for this beautiful expression.

[roadster84]

Pardon me, should be "I won't FEAR love."

[roadster84]

Beautiful Sarah, lovely voice, sweet lyrics, "no, I won't feal love!" Thank you for the expression.

[bubu571]

nice
