I had wanted to write something else earlier, but as I was surfing youtube, I found this particular video.
Many years back, when I was still schooling, I remember this song from Sarah McLachlan - Adia. She's a wonderful artiste and an amazing songwriter. I love many of her songs, and Adia was one which moved me very much, not so much of the lyrics, but rather the way it was performed.
A direct contrast to Sarah McLachlan's soothing voice is the punk and rock style of Avril Lavigne. While my all time favourite Avril's song is the slow number, 'I'm With You', which I fell in love with during my lifeguarding days in the US, many of her songs are the typically rock/alternative tracks like Sk8terBoi, Complicated, Don't Tell Me, and the list goes on, not to forget 'Girlfriend' which I do like in BC.
I can barely disguise my delight when I discovered that Avril did a cover of Adia. And she did it live, and it was a masterful performance. Absolutely magnificent.
