q is a magazine show that’s unpredictable in the best sense - proud to be “a wild mix of culture by way of Canada” as described by the New York Times. The Globe & Mail noted the show’s “raging popularity across a variety of platforms -- podcasts, television, websites, satellite radio, terrestrial radio, and occasional live remote broadcasts."
I don't know why yet, but this is just amazing. Sarah McLaughlin's music saved DMC from suicide. It's just amazing. And it makes me happy to know this for some reason. No idea why yet. Amazing.
*McLachlan
I have the goose bumps
Because Sarah has a talent that is from above . Her voice is soft as they come and soothing and her songs have spiritual messages
Those who love music understand, great music is great music. Doesn't matter what the Genre, the style, it doesn't matter about anything. Great music is great music and one of the best things about life is when great music takes your soul to a place. my boy needed his soul taken to the living angels... Enter Sarah.
Sarah McLachlan low key is life changing. I have a similar story. My grandmother was dying and I was not ready to deal with the rawness of witnessing it. A voice told me to “listen to Sarah McLachlan “ while I was leaving the nursing home. I’ve never heard voices ever! I thought someone was in the back seat of my car - it was startling. But I listened and played her music . It was so cathartic and comforting and helped me cope and cry and release emotionally. It was a blessing I’m so grateful
I love how he laid back and just let him tell his story.
ua-cam.com/video/GgnQNKCh3L8/v-deo.html. Shad Kabango. Awesome poet. Great listener. Metaphysical interviewer. Had he questioned him - he would have missed “the little boy Darryl.”
Love this interview…interviewer…interviewee
There really is something special about Sarah McLaughlin's music.
I still get misty when I hear Adia and I don't even understand why.
Absolutely. She is pure magic. None of the so called divas compare to her.
'chapeau' to the interviewer, he sat there, listened, did not interrupt this mans fantastic story with nonesense. Thats hard to find nowdays. Thank you Sir.
Sooo true. I really like Shad and he’s probably in awe.
I don't like rap, i like Metal, I don't care, I picked up this man's book in the library in a small town in New Zealand and it really spoke to me. I returned it and just want to say that DMC, I hope it changes other lives the way it changed mine. Keep writing! I want to know more about you!
Thank you for sharing, I’m going to see if this is available on the NOOK format.
That's the thing about this story, it's about how music transcends our tastes to do good deeds. Makes me angry at my young self for not seeing the worth in artists that didn't have a sound I liked.
I just finished his book "10 ways not to commit suicide" and I finished it in 1 day. This book was like my biography. I'm no DMC haha but I've been through so much of what he's gone through and feel exactly like he does. The fact that he admits to falling in love and being saved by "Angel" well DMC, you saved my life and I THANK YOU. Your book really really inspired me and I will be reading it again. God bless you for all you've overcome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! P.S. Suck it, RUN
Sarah is one of a kind a rare talent !
This story is fantastic!
The fact Sarah bust out DMC lyrics and a b-boy stance, makes me love her even more.
I caught this on NPR and it gave me a "driveway moment". I will honestly say that I did get choked up and I had to run in the house and tell my wife.
I heard it on there too, good stuff.
Ha! Reading this, I just knew what a driveway moment was without having heard the term before.
@@OxfordStreetWinnipeg Same except I was running errands and sat parked in the parking lot.
Did realize how deep Darryl was. Crazy.
Darryl probably would have also have been into Tori Amos "Little Earthquakes" too
Oh wow! This made me cry! I’m so glad that Sarah’s music got you through this rough path in your life, she’s right, « That’s what music is supposed to do »
Incredible. Very uplifting and moving story. His retelling on the Moth is even better.
The Mirror Ball Album rescued me as well. I was young and going through my first heartbreak, thinking the world is over. This is before the internet was huge and I had to hand write the lyrics because they put into words of what I was feeling. My mom found these hand written lyrics and it freaked her out. I went through therapy and went on anti depressants over a boy, but that was my world at 18. I am thankful that I now know that I can survive much worse than a silly boy. Thank you Sarah.
Dear god thank you for braving this! My wife laughs at me for occassionally diving back into sarah. Something about the combination of her voice, diving, climbing and gliding over the backdrop of music, that soothes souls; it can be stripped to its basics, with just her and a piano, or filled in with an orchestra, or thrown into some edm festival, it works at all levels. And lyrically, although maybe slightly skewed towards the womanly side, at its core is humanity.
Thank you for this interview!
Music is music whether it skews to women or men. If it touches you, moves you in a positive direction then it has done its job. Sarah’s music just reaches into your soul.
Sarah is keeping me alive right now.
I found this video because of the all-powerful UA-cam algorithm! My wife and I saw her on the Fumbling Towards Ecstasy anniversary tour last month, so I've been looking at some videos others posted of the show. I lost my only brother to cancer in 1999, and when driving back home after his death, I happened to hear Angel on the radio. That song spoke to me, and continues to do so 25 years later. Her songs, voice, and her philanthropy make her one of the most influential artists in my life. I love that she has had that impact on me, others, and even hip hop artists I followed in high school. It is, indeed, what music is for.
It's a fitting song for this story because it's about her friend who overdosed and died. It makes sense it would speak to him at that time in his life.
I love you, DMC. And I love you, Sarah McLachlan.
This is beautiful you can hear the emotion in his voice
Such a sweet and touching beginning, middle and ending.
This is an amazing and uplifting story! Thank you for sharing this. This is what music is supposed to do.
It just shows you how we're all connected.
Much respect and love for both of you. Thank you for sharing this story sir.
This is a really beautiful story.
This was a fantastic retelling by Darryl McDaniels. Very heartfelt, and you could hear the nervousness or trembling in his voice as he recounted the tough times. Glad I randomly found this.
Damn, what a story. These are reasons to stay alive.
Amazing story! Thanks for sharing Darryl. Thank you, q.
This is intense yet relaxing. I'm able to relate and identify with what he's elaborating. I'm happy to have found this. Thanks for posting.
her song 'possessions' is what got me hooked
This was a freakin amazing story 💚
Dame Dee This story got my mind going? How things are put in our lives...Respect
Bro letting him talk and not saying anything but nodding is actually pretty dope, he clearly can at least understand what he’s talking about, and is showing him immense respect for sharing this with him
Wow....what a great story.
great story
Sarah McLachlan also saved Chuck Norris's life.
Stinky Whizzletooth HAHA
I know this video is 8 years old, but this was amazing! I glad I got to see it.
WOW! Great story. ❤️❤️❤️
I wish he could've talked to Chris Cornell. DMC is telling the story of why these huge stars are in the closet, depressed, and suicidal. This explains a lot
Aw sweet man
Thats gotta be one of the most amazing stories I've ever heard
What an incredible story. My jaw dropped at the end.
Just another bit of proof that something you do that you might consider insignificant, something you do, say, or SING, might be the spark, the change, in another person's life. If you are living right now, YOU ARE HERE FOR A REASON. Don't think for a second that you are not being used to help another.
Great great story. I totally feel a connection
Love this interview...
So important to be this open about mental health, ESPECIALLY in hip hop where it’s traditionally frowned upon
There's still a dumb stigma on mental health the USA. Leads to unnecessary homeless increase and lots of other stuff. At least if celebs can admit issues it will help normalize it like it should be
I always love this story.
He did a really polished, expanded version of this story on, I think, Snap Judgement
If anyone ever dislikes this video, I hope they find their way one day because they are liost. classic jewels from an og.
Seriously this is amazing. How can someone dislike this unless it's a mouseslip :-)
I read his book...it's more powerful in the book.
Awesome.
Wow! What a story!
Thanks Sarah for saving DMCs life!
That's the power of music
What a twist at the end
I love her
Mind blown.
How many people out there has that song saved?❤
she saved me too
This is blessed, karma, whatever?! You cannot make this up! Sometimes you just need to follow the Angels!!!?
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow!
Folk is awesome. If you haven’t listened to folk because you don’t like country PLEASE try a bit, because I don’t like ANY country but I love bob dylan, Joni Mitchell and Sufjan Stevens(who isn’t really folk but definitely folk influenced, some albums of his could probably be classified as folk)
❤
truth
Wow
“Depression is funny, because eventually you don’t want to live anymore” that’s really not that funny lmao
I’m a numerology enthusiast and I did the math...he’s a master number 11...same as me ♥️♥️...it all fits
He is afro Dominican
Sarah did not save your life. God did. God used her as an instrument of grace whether either of you knew it or not. So many people miss the signs
People being people. Such a wonderful story. 🥲
Wow!
❤
