Who needs Aspirin or Tylenol when you have Sarah McLachlan ;)
- Thread starter NFS4
- Start date
No, Red Hot Chili Peppers - Soul To Squeeze. Try it, this song will calm you so much its not even funny. I could commit bloody murder, and then this song would come on and i would feel euphoric 
Bah, I say turn up Rage Against the Machine and feel the pain the way it was meant to be felt. Tylenol and Sarah McLachlan are for the wussies of the world.
Brain tumors are a complex multiplicity of diseases that strike more than 100,000 Americans annually. The symptoms are debilitating, the cure rate in many types of tumors is very low, and the incidence is on the rise. Brain tumors cannot be prevented because their causes are still unknown.
Brain tumors are difficult to treat. Surgery and radiation therapy are effective but limited, due to the risk each places on the surrounding normal brain tissue. Chemotherapy has had only minimal success. A "good" surgical result can still leave the patient with severe physical incapacity. "Successful" radiation therapy to the brain can have deleterious long-term side effects.
Society in general and the medical community to a large degree are unaware of the magnitude of the brain tumor problem. Potential victims are unaware of risk factors, early symptoms warranting medical attention, and steps to take when symptoms develop. Doctors often do not consider the diagnosis of a brain tumor early enough in their work-up to proceed quickly to the appropriate diagnostic tests. The delay in diagnosis caused by both patient and doctor factors leads to a diagnosis frequently made when the disease is extensive, and treatment can be palliative at best, and oftentimes associated with the aforementioned high risk of disability. To make early diagnosis possible, public and professional education programs are necessary.
A solution to the brain tumor problem is just beginning to be approached in an organized fashion. Top scientists must continue to be attracted to this field. Research is underfunded, and more large scale capital must be directed toward the brain tumor effort. The physicians who care for brain tumor patients now realize the value of a multidisciplinary approach to this disease, and specialists are working together to develop new and effective forms of early diagnosis and therapy. With continued teamwork and commitment, the problem will be solved.

<< Bah, I say turn up Rage Against the Machine and feel the pain the way it was meant to be felt. >>
WTF? I like to listening to music that I can actually comprehend the words to
<< If you like Sarah, try Dido. >>
Yes, I like her too...her voice is kinda strange but I like it
The first song of hers I ever heard was Possession. I flipped out... best thing I had heard in years.
Top 3 for me would be
Black and White
Do What You Have To Do
Possession
...but they are all sooooooo dang good.... and yes, Dido is good, too. Bought No Angel a few weeks ago.

Have to join Seph on this one, Soul to Squeeze rules. That mellow sound with the bass is just awesome! I can listen to that song over and over and over again and not get tired of it.
My favorite are "Song for a winters night" and "full of grace" but I have like 4 of her cds Solace, Surfacing, Rariities and Bsides and Mirrorball maybe one other, and I think Solace is the best album.
I am a total Sarah FAN! So in love with her music...

NFS4 - you have good taste in music! DMB is such a great band... I like a lot of their up-tempo stuff like "The Best of What's Around" (great song!!!) and "So Much to Say"... but their mellow songs like "Spoon" (w/ Alanis and Bela Fleck) and "I'll Back You Up" are great too...
Black and White is awesome... especially live!
Then again, so is most of her live CD...
Favorites of mine would be Black and White (live), Hold On (live), and Possession (once again, live [can you tell I love *live* stuff?])
Prayer for St. Francis and I Will Remember You are also good, as is Silence (recorded with Delerium, another awesome band...)
I have all these tracks (and many more) on MP3 in case anyone's interested...

Sarah is very good, but for easing the pain I turn to Roberta Flack and "Killing Me Softly" and "Jesse". Actually, almost any Roberta Flack will do the trick.

Dave, you think we don't have mp3s? I made a mix CD of studio and live Sarah, it's awesome listening to it in my car... Sweet Surrender, Adia, Vox, Fumbling Towards Ecstasy, Possession, When She Loved Me, Building a Mystery, Angel, Do What You Have to Do, I Will Remember You, Water is Wide (with Jewel and the Indigo Girls, from the Lilith Fair CD), Good Enough, etc., etc... she's really got a great body... of work going.
There really aren't that many contemporary artists for whom I could make an entire CD and not use "filler", but she's definitely one of them.
