Q: What’s the inspiration behind Sarah McLachlan’s new album, Shine On? —Lisa R., Fort Worth, Tex.
A: The Grammy winner and ASPCA champion, 46, says, “I lost my dad almost four years ago, not long after I separated from my husband. I found myself a bit rudderless, and a lot of the songs come from that. There’s darkness and loss on this record, but a lot of hope and joyfulness, too.”
