One of the most beautiful songs of recent years, "U Want Me 2" hit #105 on Billboard recently. It's by Canadian chanteuse Sarah McLachlan, arguably the most listenable of "successful" Canadian artistes worldwide.
Anyway, "U Want Me 2" which is on her upcoming album "Closer", a greatest hits compilation, is truly a stunning piece of work, both lyrically and musically. But her vocals are absolutely outrageously brilliant, the volume of emotions she managed to convey without mutilating her singing is unbelievable. She sounds like she's singing alright, but her sorrow can be felt so clearly, it's searing.

Beautiful. The best part must be the opening piano loop thingy which is repeated at the end of the choruses.
