In addition to her personal artistic efforts, she founded the Lilith Fair tour, which showcased female musicians.

Sarah McLachlan was born on January 28, 1968, and adopted in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. As a child, she took voice lessons, along with studies in classical piano and guitar. When she was 17 years old and still a student at Queen Elizabeth High School, she fronted a short-lived rock band called The October Game. One of the band's songs, "Grind", credited as a group composition, can be found on the independent Flamingo Records release Out of the Fog and the CD Out of the Fog Too. It has yet to be released elsewhere. Her high school yearbook predicted that she was "destined to become a famous rock star."
The Dogs were a 1990s hip hop group consisting of Disco Rick, Keith Bell, Labrant Dennis and Fergus "Cracked Up" Smith, best known for "Crack Rock," their hit single with the chant "Yo' Mama's on Crack Rock!" The group released three studio albums The Dogs in 1990, Beware of The Dogs in 1991 and K-9 Bass in 1992.
Labrant Dennis was arrested in May 1996 for the double murder of Marlin Barnes, a University of Miami football player, and Timwaneka Lumpkin, his exgirlfriend.
Strange days indeed
different lies, different whys
Strange days indeed
different views, different news
There once was a time
when the future was bright
and dreams of the world
were cosmopolite
Where only rockets fly
into the great wide open sky
reaching to the highest high
you're not alone
Those were the days
neon light, black & white
Those were the days
No gravity, no misery
But now it's not too late
no need to loose the faith
The world is here for you
Let's change it to something new
Where only rockets fly
into the great wide open sky
reaching to the highest high
