Lyrics:
Hearts are worn in these dark ages
You're not alone in this story's pages
The light has fallen amongst the living and the dying
And I'll try to hold it in, yeah I'll try to hold it in
The world's on fire and
It's more than I can handle
I'll tap into the water
(Try and bring my share)
I try to bring more
More than I can handle
(Bring it to the table)
Bring what I am able
I watch the heavens but I find no calling
Something I can do to change what's coming
Stay close to me while the sky is falling
Don't wanna be left alone, don't wanna be alone
To me this is Sarah at her best. Hair down, barefoot, playing her guitar, singing about things greater than herself. She is one of the most beautiful humans on the planet.
Yes, she is :)
Kelly Eggers yes !!!!
Kelly Eggers Amen!
TRUE !
Amen!
The video might have cost $150k but the song is priceless. Wonderful.
It's hard to fathom 20 years ago we knew the situation was dire. And it's only worse for so many. When we'll we learn?
Who would’ve thunk this song would be far more relevant nearly 20 years on?
I did actually. Sarah has so much insight and empathy. She’s a gifted writer and singer plus humanitarian ❤❤❤❤
Who cries every single time they listen to this?
Don't be embarrassed...
CELEBRATE THE TEARS!!
Embrace the face we have hearts, and the song touches not only the heart, but the soul as well. I'm right there with you my friend.
I cry every time and I'm not ashamed
Reading this comment my tears fell.... we cry together! 💓🙏🕯️
"The more we take, the less we become. The fortune of one, means less for some."....... Such a strong statement!!
Yeah she should be screaming this statement to Hollywood!!!!
don75022 Its amazing the lyrics she writes yet she and I quote said "Writing lyrics is like extracting blood from stone"
don75022 YES IT IS
Greg Soulos if that's what you really believe. the people who believe change is possible are the ones who help make it happen. we waste enough food yearly to feed the world many times over
Now this is what I'm talking about. Put your money where your mouth is 👄. Brilliant sarah. Your words on fire 🔥
I am so sad tonight, a good friend of mine just passed away from cancer she will be dearly missed, god be with you my sweet love.
2024 the song still describes what's going on in the world 😢😢😢 My heart breaks when it comes to my knowing that many children are dying from starvation by man-made war. Even they could make it, they wouldn't be able to live a full fledged lives Shame on you whoever support the weapon industry just for your wellbeing while millions dying
It's from her Afterglow album from 2003. The video was released in 2004. It's now 20 years old and completely relevant. Not to mention BRILLIANT!!!
Album now is 21 years old and this song 20 years old. When the album came out in 2003, I was 21 years old, another 21 years now I am 42.
My 21 year old niece was singing Sarah MacLachlan last week. I didn't even realize she knew any of her music. I was so proud of her taste. I also suggested a couple other songs for her to check out. ❤
Sarah is great. She made my dog cry.
This is not just a great song.... it's also a great MESSAGE. And it might be 10+ years old now, but damn that just makes the message hit even harder.
I think the same... the way the world is at this present moment, is terrifying! This song should be listened to, by every single person alive, RIGHT NOW! ❤
Older than ten years
I am so moved by Sarah Maclachlan's sensitivity to humanity and her artistry in expressing it...I think that is the highest gift anyone can have. It's very hard to watch this and not tear up. Even though I'm a first generation of Southeast Asian descent and grew up in the U.S., I still feel very torn between the capitalistic culture here and the humanitarian needs of the world...
What’s up with the number 475 when it comes to dislikes for Sarah? On all her songs? Haters suck!
they do
The world IS on fire right now and it is more than I can handle 😭Free Palestine ❤🩹
I love how Sarah uses her music to bring awareness and shed light to the fact that people can do their part to help. She's an advocate for all. Such a beautiful soul and voice. We need more artists like her..
My teacher showed my class this video the other day, and it really got to all of us, made us think. Thank you for opening peoples eyes to the reality of our world.
Beautiful voice.
Beautiful soul.
Beautiful song.
Thank you Sarah!
This is the best video I have ever seen. It should be shown in all US schools.
I showed this video to my students during our Google Meet. The lyrics and the images say so much. The more we take, the less we become. I am a fan from Guam and I have always loved Sarah's music. I love it even more. ☮💜🌍
This video is a rude awakening for us all. I was sharing with my husband how great this world really could be if we only would let go of all greed and hatred we see everywhere. I was sharing with him how easy it is to criticize those who are wealthy and ask why can't they help out? But we forget that most of us have way more than what we need. Yet it is easier to point fingers and we forget that change starts you. Material things truly don't bring real happiness and these people that live in the worst living conditions truly are way more grateful and happier than most of us. Thank you Sarah for this video it makes me cry every time.
couldn't have said it better... Blame is such a pointless act... the 'blame' begins with ALL us looking at the mirror and taking a good hard look at our own selves. Until then, I am sorry to say, not much will change. Although I am an eternal optimist at heart forever, it will come as more people understand this deeply. Especially us in the 'west'...we have anything and everything we could ever need or want, we point fingers at the 'rich' for their lavish lifestyles (i'm from a lower mid class, educated) and I could care less if wealthy people wish to live their lives how they want to, I never would choose that lifestyle, that's a choice....that is NOT what this is about in my humble opinion. I honestly believe, many of us have everything at our disposal, we are at a point where we don't know what to do NEXT....we are getting bored w the same old cycles of routines, restless, our hearts are screaming for change to help to give meaning to our lives....a Spiritual meaning that was LOST in this materialistic era we created, which I believe was necessary, everything is at is should be...NOW is the time to find our was TOGETHER to EVOLVE to the next level.....not talking of religion, and not saying go away with it, I'm not a radical person....I'm speaking of a deeper meaning to What the heck are we TRULY HERE ON THIS GREAT EARTH TO DO? sit and waste away, not helping out fellow brothers and sisters? I think, no I KNOW NOT. It's a time to be understanding, to listen to others who may not agree and be okay with that, stop trying to be 'right' all the time and accept others are diffferent and have different views and beliefs and that OKAY TOO... LOVE THEM ANYWAY! I don't know where you live, but it was beautiful to see these conversations are being had...brought a smile to my heart... :)
no, this video is manipulating you. you can't have a sustainable living while the birth rate is about seven kids for a woman.
2025 and I really needed to hear this again to feel some hope.
Who is still watching this and still feeling it in 2024?!
❤
❤
I wonder what 2025 viewers will say 🤔 ?
I definitely am
So beautiful and timeless. I wrote a tribute song myself to raise awareness for what’s going on around the world ❤
More relevant than ever !!!!!!
Imagine if Sarah was never able to develop her talents and she became a lawyer or something else. Where would we be without her beautiful voice?
Is that really her unadulterated voice?? My God, what a gift. It gives me chills.
I've seen her perform seven times, so unless she's been lip-syncing to the same recording, it really IS her unadulterated voice.
In the early 90s, I worked at a record store. Her second album had come out, and she was on tour, and playing in town (New Orleans) that night. She came to my district manager's office and sang two songs for us (about 10 or 12 people), sitting on a chair. She mentioned that she had just woke up shortly before she came, and that she was slightly hung over.
And she sounded exactly this good.
What a wonderful music video! A dramatic demonstration of how we need to change our priorities.
This song is perfect for 2020. If your reading this hang in there!
"The more we take, the less we become" - One of the most meaningful and beautiful videos I have ever seen. I teared up when I first saw this 15 years ago. Still gives me goosebumps. Thank you Sarah
I tear up everytime I watch this . What the fuck are we doing to this most precious gift , our planet. Humans are not intelligent, we are stupid and arrogant ( or some of us are ) . Trouble is a small minority are fucking it up for the rest of us and our future. God help us ( unfortunately I don't believe )
@@stevejones183 I quite agree. Right down to the not believing
I think the point is, instead of spending the money on just another slick music clip she sent all that money to where it was most needed. It made me cry.
Yeah... a shame the British "royal family" don't understand the sentiments of this. Instead we see the latest addition, American actress Meghan Markle, sashaying around in US$13,000 designer dresses out in Tonga. Oct. 2018, as she and her hubby Prince Harry are on a "royal tour".
British royal family are another puppet show of moral humans who have no life skills learned
the first time I watched this, I thought it was someone criticizing her. The first part throws you off, but if you don't watch the end, which many may not, you'll end up thinking she is being criticized for spending money on her videos and yet singing about helping people. I LOVE the song, but I wish that first text frame was not there.
Sarah thanks . God’s world is being mislead with greed as opposed to compassion. Just makes me cry. Peace and Love….
Me too. 💙💜💚❤💛
Amazing song and relevant today, this world is on fire and crazier than ever
I am watching this 10 years later and I am still moved.
Best video clip EVER. So natural. My inner hippie talking. How true is this video . Spot on.
What a gift to the world.
I have always appreciated how down to earth she always seems
Powerful. Brings things into perspective. Also a reminder to be grateful for what we have
If this song and its video (in addition to its being so beautiful) doesn’t change the way you see the world, just keep watching and listening. It will. Sarah you are a gift to us. Thank you.
Who is here wacthing America burning with hate senseless violence and rioting needing this song for healing..
Sadly America is not the only nation burning…
One of the most beautiful human beings the world has ever seen. She has an angelic voice and her spirit reveals itself in her song. Thank you Sarah
2022, and the world keeps getting crazier.
There are only 2 who can soothe with their voices. Eva Cassidy and Sarah.
From a huge Sarah fan here you need to add ELizabeth Fraser :)
One of the best song ever. Also one of my favourite singers. ❤
Sarah is such an inspiration and this video is a clear reason why! 100% back up what she stands for. Wholesome voice, lyrics and compositions. Love how her music feels like home (in a world gone blind, home is a state of being scarcely found). Thank you!
329 am my time. Retired military, currently serving a tour of single malt.. Just what I needed. Thank you.
Peace upon you 💙
Naah Haan, what do you mean thanks for killing Muslim? Those peps are muslims too on the video, we are unity except you, why they didnt kill you first?
Im sure this La Fi is just another programed zombie that joined to get a college fund.
Both sides are deceived, we need to move past the con troll system lies.
Thank you for your service,Naah..Namaste.
My husband was in the navy and his ship went to Africa for 7 months and did a humanitarian tour. Rebuilding schools, medical buildings and all sorts of other things. Teaching children, teaching their navy how to rebuild their ships. They took medical supplies over as well as food. They even went to do Katrina Relief and Haiti Relief.
Every time I hear this I cried and my heart aches for our humanity. It's more than I can handle bringing to the table what I am able. Volunteer to give back to my community. Wishing my fellow sisters and brothers Peace, Harmony and Love!
Saw Sarah live in The Austin City Limits venue. Her voice was clear, pure, and strong. Having been to too many concerts to count, this one was the best ever, hands down.
very powerful.Sarah has an angelic voice,it really hits home.
Beautiful, deep and hearttaking lyrics Sarah!
Hearts are worn in these dark ages
You're not alone in this story's pages
The light has fallen amongst the living and the dying
And I'll try to hold it in, yeah, I'll try to hold it in
The world's on fire, it's more than I can handle
Tap into the water, try to bring my share
Try to bring more, more than I can handle
Bring it to the table, bring what I am able
I watch the heavens but I find no calling
Something I can do to change what's coming
Stay close to me while the sky is falling
I don't wanna be left alone, don't wanna be alone
The world's on fire, it's more than I can handle
Tap into the water, try to bring my share
Try to bring more, more than I can handle
Bring it to the table, bring what I am able
Hearts break, hearts mend
Love still hurts
Visions clash, planes crash
Still there's talk of
Saving souls, still the cold
Is closing in on us
We part the veil on our killer sun
Stray from the straight line on this short run
The more we take the less we become
The fortune of one man means less for some
The world's on fire, it's more than I can handle
Tap into the water, try to bring my share
Try to bring more, more than I can handle
Bring it to the table, bring what I am able
The world's on fire, it's more than I can handle
Tap into the water, try to bring my share
Try to bring more, more than I can handle
Bring it to the table, bring what I am able
Sarah's music has helped me so much,through dark days and massive amounts of depression and self-doubt.
I know what you mean, recently a very close friend of mine passed away, all i do is hear her songs cause, there are people who have a life much worse and harder then I do.
You are not alone... Life will always make a way
Preface: Sarah is far and away my favorite Canadian artist. Her devotion to those less fortunate is second to none.
Every time I watch this video, I am reminded how blessed I am and how selfish I've been when I get depressed about the many things I still don't have. There are many billions more who are in dire need more than me and I can help.
Such wholesome music, rare these days!
How in the hell could there be one dislike to this channel? This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
My father died last year for corona virus .Sarah gives peace to my soul
This song definitely hits different now.
Agreed
It does. But then again, it should have hit different when whether the crisis is Coronovirus or conflict or some other human tragegdy. :(
i came back here too because it hits so deep now, it's like a song for the millennium
@@radiobebiku lol
Yes
How could you not love this woman?
God bless her soul and her music.
Sarah has been one of my favorite since 2001-- for me she has made a big difference!! in music and belief that people who make it help out others as it should be as success is based on those who help you up and continues when you help others!!
Unfortunately these words makes more sense these days then ever ...a call from Sara with this beautiful song and video
This brings me to tears each time I hear it. I love u so much , may everyone on earth hear and see this song and be inspired as well
I remember watching this on VH1s Sunday morning countdown in 2003 when I was 12. I’m 33 now and it’s stuck with me til now.
Wow, just excellent.
15 years later, still thinking about the things we can do to make this world a better place. This song never age no matter what year it's in. The message in her song is still strong, still relevant. Love her so much.
Only 2.2 million? This Song needs to be spread out.. C'mon People!!!! Share it.
Sometimes it really does feel like the world is on fire. (In some places, it really is!)
We need more videos like this nowadays.
yes and less Hollywood types
Germtalia agreed!!!
We need more videos of just singers singing and more importantly the money that would have been spent going to people with real need. Notice this didn’t really start a trend unfortunately! God bless her for this song and her love and generosity and common sense!
But all those who work in the industry need to make a living. Electricians, grips, editing staff, studio techs, caterers, etc..--they're either working or will need aid themselves. I agree in general with what this video is promoting--and we all need to do our part--but my challenge is that those who, in the long run, profit the most from these projects might be in a better position to send more aid. That as opposed to taking funds from folks living paycheck to paycheck. I'm not saying this of Ms McLachlan, but there are those executives, sports figures, and entertainers who sit on riches and things which are much more disposable.
It's not the video that's making you feel powerless, it's your idea of what is powerful & what is not. Only you can become you, something even Sarah McLachlan could never do.
My heart brakes when I see children living on the street like that. Thank you for giving money to the people that need it instead of production and other bullshit. God bless
Sarah McLachlan , one of thee best role models in the music industry, humble ,compassionate, very focused and understanding the fact that she has a platform and listeners who she has an impact on!! Cannot underestimate the class this woman has , the truly beautiful person she is,inside and out.Her music is fantastic but so is the message and the deeply instilled emotions it brings to us all, opening our minds , and hearts .Reaching our motivations to do in addition to hear and watch.This woman is everything God would want in a human being.I truly adore admire and respect her in every way!!
this makes me cry decades later.
Beautiful, giving, and real. I've crushed on her for a few decades!
😎
Sarah you light shines and brightens the hearts of millions and your voice moves the soul.
This is a like a song from Heaven! music that heals the heart, we love you Sarah
Sarah is so talented and beautiful !
This song, this video, is just one of the reasons I respect Sarah.
sarah, i love you! i saw you live in mountain view winery in 2022! you were amazing! I'm with Stanford Medicine and trying to do your work in Africa and Cambodia. If i can just have a photo with you soon, we can go far with this world's work. Thanks Sarah! I hope to hear back from you. Thank you
Hands down the BEST music video I have ever seen. Beautiful woman, beautiful song and beautiful deed.
The world is getting better. Many people waking up and treating each other with love and respect. Im loving it. So proud of you humans. Not your fault you were subjected to so much cruelty and hate towards each other. The bad energy has been renewed now and you will we will all get thru this. Continue spreading less fear and more love. Love and light. xxx
I disagree. Free speech for journalists who hold authorities accountable, protecting people from governments via online privacy against mass surveillance, women's rights like abortion access, wealth equality, and other things are getting attacked to benefit the few wealthiest men that destroy people's lives. Julian Assange is still imprisoned. Oligarchs are still spying on their slaves' online activities. Women are moving to different states or countries for better healthcare. The few wealthiest people keep getting insanely richer while everyone else fights for crumbs.
I listen to this song every time the world gets crazy. It's been more and more often lately. Beautiful song and I love how informative the video is. I wish it could go viral at a time like this
More appropriate now in 2023 then ever before. :(
She's channeling Hebrews 4:16 (You go, girl!): "Let us therefore draw near with boldness unto the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace to help in time of need." This video highlights the need in a most powerful way.
Peace and blessings to our whole world.blessed song love it.
This is a wonderful woman and this wonderful video, always bring tears to my eyes. It's easy to help those who are helpless if each person decide today that they are going to make a difference.
"The world is on fire, it's more than I can handle
I'll tap into the water, try to bring my share
I'll try to bring more, more than I can handle
Bring it to the table, bring what I am able"
Awesome.
I must've watched this video a hundred times. And it still puts a lump in my throat, how vast the suffering of people in this world.
Too many are apathetic and don't want to hear about it. I have news for those people; these problems aren't going away and in fact are getting worse in many places. And even if you do not witness it where you are, it can affect you too someday because oppression breeds hatred and violence.
beautiful campaign in favor of humanity, Sarah a singer with a big heart
I've been to Afghanistan and given a part of my life to that country. A piece of my life is still there.
God bless you
@@annaa8689 amen my friend.
I share this on Facebook - I think the world needs to see this video every quarter of the year- to remind-we can do better. Thank you my favorite singer Sarah! I hope to meet you one day- bucket list!
What another spine tingling song by the underrated sarah mclachan
The beauty and price of kindness! Thank you Sarah! ❤ Still touching the best part of humanity
Hits the soul
This amazing song is what gives me hope about the future of the planet.
This song is so relevant to what the world is going through with the virus. So many here in the States not working, and losing their work. In some states, things are starting to open up. I've seen so many stories of Americans helping others through this. Pray that folks can get back on their feet. Take care all.
The world according to Sarah ♥️♥️♥️♥️😍😍😍😍
I love this song so much.
I love Sarah McLachlan SO MUCH.
I've been into her for most of my life (23 now) and it's like her reputation was ruined with the ASPCA videos.
Her music is so amazing. I wish people would give her a chance these days.
3:23: The moment a visionary knows she has made the connection with someone. The moment she is confident she has reached another, and that God has smiled on both. I smile at this instant too, every time.
Beautiful song ❤️
Thank you for such wonderful song. I found myself keep coming back years after years to this song...
Oh, and this is the reason (beside your ASPA work) I buy everything you publish. Guard the Light..
This video needs to be remade for America✔️I can tell Sarah has a beautiful 💜😳😏✍️
This video always brings me back to reality
