Hooked on some interesting yet creepy information.

So, today I looked up a link about songs that you should think twice about before singing along to. There was this one song called, "Possession" by Sarah McLachlan. I might have heard that song on the radio before. I like the melody of the chorus. If there's anything I've found out about the story behind it, it's that she had a Stalker, and that some of the words in the song were from some of the love letters she used to get from this deranged fan of hers, before he ended up committing suicide. But let's face it, he was a bit too old for her and he creeped her out. Anyway, here's some of the stuff he wrote to her:

"Oh Sarah,
Will I ever hold you on that shore?
Or only live it in a dream?
Will I ever tell you of my fears?
Will you ever collect my tear?

Let me repeat the lessons that you may not have learned well. Time and distance are IRRELEVANT! I am absorbed by, bound to you and I can wait a year, a decade, a lifetime. I will still be there, cherishing, contemplating, waiting."
- Uwe Vandrei

Ok the part where he says, "I will still be there.....waiting", that just sounds kinda creepy to me. The guy did end up committing suicide over her. Anyway here's the rest of the story:

 In 1994 McLachlan was sued by Uwe Vandrei, an obsessed fan The lawsuit was also challenging for the Canadian legal system: Vandrei was a self-admitted stalker whose self-acknowledged goal in filing the lawsuit was to be near McLachlan physically. Consequently, special precautions were planned to ensure McLachlan's safety if she had to be in the same location as Vandrei at any time. But before the trial began, Vandrei was found dead in an apparent suicide on September 28, 1994 before the case went to trial.
                               Vandrei was a computer engineer from Vanier, Ontario who kept to himself - so much so that he was only reported missing after neighbors noticed his mail piling up. He was clearly obsessed with McLachlan, keeping journals dedicated to the singer and telling anyone who would listen about his overwhelming admiration for her. For about two years, he sent letters to McLachlan, but never contacted her in person or sent any other items. The letters, however, were pretty intense. When he launched his lawsuit against McLachlan, he sent copies of his letters to the radio station CKCU, providing a look into his troubles.

 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
 Through this world I've stumbled so many times betrayed
Trying to find an honest word, to find the truth enslaved
Oh, you speak to me in riddles and you speak to me in rhymes
My body aches to breathe your breath, your words keep me alive

 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

Into this night I wander, it's morning that I dread
Another day of knowing of the path I fear to tread
Oh, into the sea of waking dreams, I follow without pride
'Cause nothing stands between us here and I won't be denied

 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

I'll 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

You know, I have to say, this makes for a good song, inspite the whole story behind it. I could probably listen to it all day and all night.
