The 11-year marriage of Sarah McLachlan and her husband Ashwin Sood is over. Pouring out her grieve, she shares her feeling with fans in new songs. Announcing her separation from the Canadian musician, she publicly stated "I'm separating from my husband" adding that her songs "U Want Me 2" and "Don't Give Up on Us" tell about her personal turmoil dealing with the failed marriage.
McLachlan and Ashwin, the drummer in her band, have been married since February 1997. They are parents to two daughters; India Ann Sushil and Taja. The family currently reside in Vancouver.
"I wasn't planning on saying anything," the songbird told Billboard.com on making public her separation from the father of her children. She then continued, "but it's gonna come out at some point. I haven't said anything about it because I've been terrified to, but I figure ... there's no good time to say it, so I just said it."
McLachlan didn't elaborate on the reason for the split. She simply stated that she found the separation as "pretty gross".
Relating her failed marriage with her new singles, McLachlan elaborated that "U Want Me 2" is about "that really uncertain, confusing place at the end of a relationship when there's no communication or closure, everything's still up in the air and there's a lot of anger and sadness. It's sort of that working through 'How do we move forward ... with some dignity and grace." As for "Don't Give Up on Us", she claimed it as "pretty self-explanatory, basically just a plea to give it another chance and keep trying."
Both "U Want Me 2" and "Don't Give Up on Us" are featured on her compilation LP "Closer-The Best of Sarah McLachlan" which comes out Oct. 7. The video for "U Want Me 2", meanwhile, has been premiered on Amazon.com Wednesday, Sept 10.

YEAH SARAH DESERVE SOMEONE BETTER THAN THAT SHAMBOLIC SOOD How dare he hurt her ? it is for the best dr bhagi
Several rude comments from angry women or happy lesbians, lol. How can any of you presume to know anything about their relationship?
To think Sarah was probably feeling terrifed, as she put it, to let the world know about her separation for the very comments some people on here have left. It takes two to make a marriage and two to break one. What I love about Sarah is her unwillinglyness to point the finger. Instead, she chooses to express her interpretation of what happened into art. She has integrity and strength. I am grateful to be one of the fans that she trusts her deepest feelings to. Thank you, Sarah. Your healing and compassion is enviable.
Being a gr8 singer doesnt necessarily mean she was a great wife...two very different roles one has to balance in life. Fame isn't everything to gauge one by.
sarah is such a sweetheart, she deserved better than him. sad indeed.
their seems to be a lot of angry women defending sarah.i like sarah as a person but you would be better directing the anger in a more constructive way.
today is 2/12/10 & i just watched the opening ceremonies of the Vvancouver olympics. Sarah performed & she was great, looked great too!!! as far as this story goes, she is in her 40's, creepy shallow men tend to leave their wives around this time. it's that male thing, i do not want to look at this 40 yr. old body anymore, i want young & firm. in other words, he never really loved HER, just loved her fame & cash. sarah, you are better off w/o sood, even if he stayed for a while, he would end up letting you down. Adia
you just show by your cruel, unfeeling comments that you haven't heard anything this woman is saying to us.It's good to think that they'll most likely never reach SM beyond whatever barriers protect her from people like you.Be thankful that she bared her soul to the world and that anyone who's had there heart truly broken can know that they're not alone.
Now maybe she'll come out of the closet.
It's grief, not grieve.
who are you to say? it could be the other way around.
yea poor sarah, what an ugly piece of crap her husband is. and she stayed with him for THAT long? poor sarah indeed
poor sarah
