 Sarah McLachlan: Splits from husband
Canadian songstress Sarah McLachlan has made up her mind to break her marriage of 11 years.
Sarah McLachlan and her husband Ashwin Sood, the drummer in her band, have married on February 1997. They reside in Vancouver. They have two daughters, India Ann Sushil, 6 and Taja Summer, 14 months.
"U Want Me 2" and "Don't Give Up on Us" both appear on her upcoming greatest hits album "Closer: The Best of Sarah McLachlan", which comes out on October 7 through Arista Records in both a single-disc version and a two-CD deluxe package.
The 40 year old Sarah McLachlan said, "I'm separating from my husband, so these are the songs about that. I wasn't planning on saying anything, but it's gonna come out at some point. I haven't said anything about it because I've been terrified to, but I figure ... there's no good time to say it, so I just said it".
McLachlan called the situation "pretty gross" but did not elaborate on reasons for the separation or the couple's future plans.
Relating her failed marriage with her new singles, Sarah McLachlan elaborated that "U Want Me 2" is about "that really uncertain, confusing place at the end of a relationship when there's no communication or closure, everything's still up in the air and there's a lot of anger and sadness. It's sort of that working through 'How do we move forward ... with some dignity and grace". As for "Don't Give Up on Us", she claimed it as "pretty self-explanatory, basically just a plea to give it another chance and keep trying".
McLachlan wrote both songs with her longtime producer Pierre Marchand.
Sarah McLachlan is planning a series of TV appearances to promote "Closer". She said that she's also working on more new material and hopes to have a new album out within the next two years. |
