Saturday Throwback: Sarah McLachlan's Fumbling Towards Ecstasy

I'm a longtime Sarah McLachlan fan, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Sarah writes intensely personal and moving lyrics that her voice just flows through beautifully. No where does this shine through better than on her 1993 release, Fumbling Towards Ecstasy. McLachlan had long been a hit in her native Canada, but this was the album that brought her international success. The album starts off with a bang with "Possession" (a song inspired by letters from a stalker)and ends with the hauntingly heart-wrenching title track. Still a favorite of mine, Fumbling Towards Ecstasy remains a timeless classic. Take a listen.
