Possession
“Possession,” by Sarah Mclachlan would seem to be one of her remarkable and realistic songs. Borrowing the lyrics from the song:
"Listen as the wind blows
From across the great divide
Voices trapped in yearning
Memories trapped in time
The night is my companion
And solitude my guide
Would I spend forever here
And not be satisfied
And I would be the one
To hold you down
Kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
And after I'd wipe away the tears
Just close your eyes dear."
She wrote the song for her stalker. One can say that this can be a mild case of Stockholm syndrome. As such, this is what makes the song realistic and ethereal. Arguably, one can feel the sense of longing on this song, and even symphatize with Sarah's stalker. In a nutshell, this can be called a masterpiece.
