"Possession" Lyrics:
Listen as the wind blows
From across the great divide
Voices trapped in yearning
Memories trapped in time
The night is my companion
And solitude my guide
Would I spend forever here
And not be satisfied

And I would be the one
To hold you down
Kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
And after I'd wipe away the tears
Just close your eyes dear

Through this world I've stumbled
So many times betrayed
Trying to find an honest word
To find the truth enslaved
Oh you speak to me in riddles and
You speak to me in rhymes
My body aches to breathe your breath
You words keep me alive

And I would be the one
To hold you down
Kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
And after I'd wipe away the tears
Just close your eyes dear

Into this night I wander
It's morning that I dread
Another day of knowing of
The path I fear to tread
Oh into the sea of waking dreams
I follow without pride
Nothing stands between us here
And I won't be denied

And I would be the one
To hold you down
Kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
And after I'd wipe away the tears
Just close your eyes dear

McLachlan wrote the song after having being stalked by Uwe Vandrei, an obssessed fan from Ottawa for three years. She eventually took out a restraining order against him and wrote Possession shortly thereafter, using his letters as the basis of much of the lyrics. Incredibly Vandrei filed a lawsuit against her claiming "breach of confidence" and laid claim to a share of the songwriting credits. The case never made trial as Vandrei committed suicide in December 1994.

Goodness me.

Haha!  Me, too! I heard this song in Bed, Bath, and Beyond and was haunted by it. When I got home and looked it up...Creepsville. Now I don't know what to think.

I used to imagine making love to my girlfriend whenever I listen to this song. And you're telling me she was inspired by someone who was stalking her?? WHOA.

[scifivampire]

I love this song. but not as fond of it now that i know the creepy back story.

@belchtopturtledown I think it was like an empowering thing to use these letters that probably scared the sh*t outta her and then she was like: 'hell to the no!' and used them to show stalker man that she could make something beautiful out of it and that she won't stand to be tormented by him.

but yeah; the video is crap, haha!!

[belchtopturtledown]

@quackinacan It was that she wanted to use the material from a stalker that bothered me more,although stealing is not nice. I still like the song. I don't like the video at all. It should be redone with a cool solid gray cat and a baby in a crib and it should lend itself to the folk lore of cats stealing baby's breath. The kitty licks the baby and then...oh no!...but of course the baby is fine...just meows a little.
