Like Joni Mitchell before her, if there's one thing Sarah McLachlan knows, it's pretty ballads about the good, the bad and the ugly of love. Twenty years since the release of her debut, and McLachlan's still musing on matters of the heart. On October 7, the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter and First Lady of Lilith will release a greatest-hits album, 'Closer: The Best of Sarah McLachlan,' featuring 16 lovelorn and love-filled tracks. While McLachlan collections are nothing new to her fans (she's notorious for taking lengthy hiatuses between albums), 'Closer' contains two new songs: 'U Want Me 2' and 'Don't Give Up on Us,' the first of which you can hear below. A proper follow-up to McLachlan's last album, 2003's 'Afterglow,' isn't seeing a release anytime soon, so enjoy.

Meanwhile, McLachlan, who gave birth to her second daughter last year, recently came out of hiding to perform in her hometown of Vancouver as part of the True Colors tour. "It's been awhile for me," she admitted to the fans. "I'm sorry ... I got knocked up again."

Listen to the song!
