For those of you who know, Sarah Mclachlan is right up there in my list of singer/songwriter when it comes to great music. I had dreamt of interviewing her back in my newspaper days, was so close to buying a ticket with my bonus money just to attend Lilith Fair, and the first song I ever sang in public with a band was well, hers. It was Building a Mystery, and I have to credit a lot to SM’s guitar plucking and RLB’s bassline for covering my flaws. Yikes.
Yes, I really like Sarah’s music. A few years ago, I bumped into her in all of places, an Indian restaurant. Both of us were chomping on nans and curry. Ah, there is an achi in all of us after all.
I have always known she lives in Vancouver, but am not sure where. Then a few hours ago, I discover a real treat. Sarah lives in Dunbar, I am sure in a nice swanky home. We live in the same neighbourhood, in a much smaller part of a swanky home.
I am sure Sarah goes to Stongs to get her organic spinach, while I rumble through for lemongrass and mee kuning. Stongs is after all, a fixture for those who live around here and has the freshest produce I ever have seen. Would I say hello to her if I bumped into her at the supermarket – makcik style?I am not sure. “Eh Sarah…ikan naik harga hari ni lah!“, is not exactly musician-fan dynamic. Ah well.
Below is my favourite scene (and song!) from Juno. This was also shot in Dunbar. For those who wants to know what I meant by us living in a ‘much smaller part of a swanky home”, look at where Ellen Page is sitting, see that window underneath the upper level house, thats where we are (not in this house, but a few blocks away lah). I am sure Sarah’s house is a lot bigger with the royalties she is making.
I know the rent in this neighbourhood is overpriced but I just love the neighbourhood a lot more because Sarah lives here. Hah. That fish conversation might just happen soon. I am sure there is a minah in her too.
