For music lovers of all ages and of all genres, this lens is an attempt to tap into the originality of song writers and singers who have the vision and heart to write about love as they have experienced it and not as the bubblegum, peppy, pop matra that it has turned into. You will find songs from artists as varied as Metallica and Sarah MacLachlan here, all singing about love, life and loss. Feel free to contribute your favourite songs as well. They just have to be unusual and original.
Feel the love in the dulcet tones of Sarah MacLachlan, Norah Jones, and Eva Cassidy. Also recently added is the heartfelt rendition of loss by June Tabor. Songs featured here: Songbird -- Eva Cassidy Full of Grace -- Sarah Mclachlan Do What you Have to Do -- Sarah Mclachlan Sunrise -- Norah Jones River -- Sarah McLachlan (cover of Joni Mitchell's song) Come Away with Me - Norah Jones The Water is Wide -- June Tabor

Hugely popular in their homeland of Ireland, the Frames top the charts and play to 30,000 people in Dublin. The aptly-titled live album is their fifth and the one they're hoping will connect in America.
