Got some good news and some sad news for fans of Sarah McLachlan … on the upside, Sarah Mac is releasing a greatest hits album in early October which features two new songs U Want Me 2 and Don’t Give Up on Us … on the downside, those songs were inspired by Sarah‘s separation from her husband of 11 years, Ashwin Sood :( Looks like they’re dunzo, y’all:

The two new songs on Sarah McLachlan’s upcoming greatest hits album — “U Want Me 2″ and “Don’t Give Up on Us” — come from an extremely personal place. “I’m separating from my husband, so these are the songs about that,” McLachlan told Billboard.com. She’s been married to Ashwin Sood, who plays drums in her band, for 11 years. The couple, who reside in Vancouver, has two daughters, six-year-old India and Taja Summer, 14 months. “I wasn’t planning on saying anything,” McLachlan added, “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 called the situation “pretty gross” but did not elaborate on reasons for the separation or the couple’s future plans … McLachlan wrote both songs with her longtime producer Pierre Marchand. She described “U Want Me 2″ as “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.” “Don’t Give Up,” she said, is “pretty self-explanatory, basically just a plea to give it another chance and keep trying.”

I know this is prolly pretty random for those of you who aren’t all that familiar with Sarah McLachlan but I’m a big fan and this is really bummer news. If I recall correctly, Sarah‘s hubby Ashwin was also her percussionist on tour (they spent quite a bit of time together on the road during the Lilith Fair days) and they have one child two daughters (thanks Nicole). One of my fave Sarah Mac songs, Ice Cream, was inspired/written for Ash. I’m very disheartened to learn that her break-up from her husband is described as “pretty gross” :( I hope these new songs will help Sarah heal from the dissolution of her marriage … sad news.
