Description from that page:
"Back with her first album in eleven years â Better Broken â weâre so
thrilled to have Sarah McLachlan on the couch for the first time. A
trailblazing, confessional, slice-of-life songwriter whose music goes for the
jugular and resonates to this day, McLachlan broke in the 90s, rising up with
the likes of Jewel, Tori Amos, Sheryl Crow, and Alanis Morrissette, to name a
few. As artists they had to work ten times harder than their male
contemporaries. Imagine a world where the powers that be said: two women on a
bill? Nah. Two female artists played back-to-back on the radio? You must be
joking!
Off the back of such rampant discrimination the Canadian singer founded the
traveling, female-foregrounded festival, Lilith Fair when she was just
29-years-old. It ran for three summers and at one point was bigger than
Lollapalooza. We talk about all this and the newly released Lilith Fair
documentary out on Hulu now (watch it!), not to mention how, given the
constant erosion of womenâs rights thanks to the current administration, a
new gen Lilith Fair feels more timely than ever!
We also get into the nitty-gritty of what sheâs been up to for the past
eleven years, her experiences parenting (and collaborating with) her two
daughters, and the stories behind some of her biggest hits like âAngelâ
â about the tragic passing of Smashing Pumpkins keyboardist Jonathan
Melvoin. He was an artist she didnât know personally and yet now, on this
album sheâs collaborating with Jonathanâs sister Wendy, herself a
legendary guitarist who was part of Princeâs band. Additionally we discuss
the creation of her seminal 1993 LP, Fumbling Towards Ecstasy, her stalker(s)
and the song it inspired, and her cover of Randy Newmanâs âWhen She Loved
Meâ (off Toy Story 2).
McLachlan is stunningly candid about her own childhood, her relationship with
her mother and generational patterns, and the topics on her new album, which
in part parses a toxic romantic relationship â confronting her own denial,
self-loathing, and eventually healing (and a massive f**k you!)."

me everything you had, oh you gave me light." (Sarah McLachlan)
