LISTENING IN: No mystery about Sarah McLachlan

 480 360 wttc2
By:

There’s no mystery about it, Sarah McLachlan is a national treasure and there’s little need to recount her history here. Just the music – and what music it is: the classic “Building a Mystery,” rendered at the magnificent Red Rocks amphitheatre near Denver, and with the Colorado Symphony backing to boot.

McLachlan reveals in the clip that it is her first orchestral performance, and the results are spine tingling.

‘Mystery,’ from the Halifax-native’s fourth album Surfacing, was released in 1997 and was the top song in Canada that year. It also earned her a Grammy the following year for best female pop vocal performance.

This performance took place in 2011, and they don’t come any better.

Lyrics

You come out at night
That’s when the energy comes
And the dark side’s light
And the vampires roam
You strut your Rasta wear
And your suicide poem
And a cross from a faith
That died before Jesus came
You’re building a mystery

You live in a church
Where you sleep with voodoo dolls
And you won’t give up the search
For the ghosts in the halls
You wear sandals in the snow
And a smile that won’t wash away
Can you look out the window
Without your shadow getting in the way?
Oh you’re so beautiful
With an edge and a charm
But so careful
When I’m in your arms

‘Cause you’re working
Building a mystery
Holding on and holding it in
Yeah you’re working
Building a mystery
And choosing so carefully

You woke up screaming aloud
A prayer from your secret god
You feed off our fears
And hold back your tears
Oh, give us a tantrum
And a know it all grin
Just when we need one
When the evening’s thin

You’re so beautiful
A beautiful fucked up man
You’re setting up your
Razor-wire shrine

‘Cause you’re working
Building a mystery
Holding on and holding it in
Yeah you’re working
Building a mystery
And choosing so carefully
Ooh, you’re working
Building a mystery
Holding on and holding it in
Yeah you’re working
Building a mystery
And choosing so carefully

Take a short break from eating to explore the Shops of Las Olas for distinctive finds, from surf gear at Quiet Storm Surf Shop and premium cigars at Havana Republic Cigar Depot to floral bouquets and gifts at Ann’s Florist and Coffee Bar.

When it’s time for another meal, choose between Louie Bossi’s Italian Ristorante or a seat on the Riverwalk at Rivertail by James Beard Award-nominated chef Jose Mendin. The yellowtail ceviche taquitos and crab donuts here are great for sharing—although you may find yourself negotiating with dining companions for the last piece.

DAY 3: Discover Greater Fort Lauderdale’s markets, craft beer and specialty shops

Now that you have a general taste for the restaurants along Fort Lauderdale beach and downtown, it’s time to venture a little farther. Start your day browsing artisan food and crafts at Yellow Green Farmer’s Market in Hollywood, the most vibrant farmers market in Greater Fort Lauderdale, before hitting the Fort Lauderdale Ale Trail for a tour of the region’s best craft beer. Caviar connoisseurs should seek out rare pure beluga caviar at Marky’s Caviar Lounge at The Shoppes at the Guitar Hotel and if you’re craving a taste of the Caribbean, head to Aruba Beach Café at Lauderdale-By-The-Sea for jerk wings and Bimini bread.

Hardcore shoppers can sip a smoothie from family-owned MiaFruta while browsing swimwear at aguabendita and Alma by Angel de la Guarda at Sawgrass Mills. After working up an appetite, savor a leisurely final night on the water with Riverfront Gondola Tours. There’s a dinner cruise option with a pan-Asian Latin fusion menu by Casa Sensei.

The Anam Mui Ne to Celebrate Grand Opening in January

The Aman Mui Ne to Celebrate Grand Opening in January - TOP25HOTELS - TRAVELINDEXMui Ne, Vietnam, November 30, 2022 / TRAVELINDEX / The Anam Mui Ne, a resort with 127 elegant rooms and suites, a sublime design inspired by Vietnam’s Indochine era and prime beachfront location will celebrate its grand opening in January next year.

Situated in southern Vietnam’s popular beach town Mui Ne, the independently owned and operated five-star resort is the second Anam property to open. The Anam Mui Ne follows the successful 2017 debut of The Anam Cam Ranh that has been recognized by some of the industry’s highest accolades including placement among Asia’s top resorts in the Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards in 2021 and 2020.

Overlooking Mui Ne’s white sand beach, the resort affords spectacular East Sea vistas. The resort’s dining landscape comprises an all-day dining restaurant and grill called The Indochine, beachside restaurant and bar Lang Viet Restaurant and Bar, Saigon Bar in the lobby and 24-7 in-room dining. The resort will cut the ribbon on a collection of luxurious facilities on January 11 including a five-treatment-room spa, two spacious swimming pools – one freshwater and the other saltwater – a ballroom, conference rooms, water sports center, fitness center, yoga room, kid’s club and gift shop.

Like its predecessor, The Anam Mui Ne’s design is an echo out of Vietnam’s bygone Indochine period, with architecture guided by Hanoi’s grand old French villas. Evoking a romantic atmosphere, the likes of glowing lanterns, customized encaustic mosaic tiles, big-bellied clay water vases, statues on plinths, imperial style roofs, cornice detailing and intricate woodwork have been crafted by artisans from across Vietnam whose trades have been handed down the generations. Giving way to an infinity pool and the ocean beyond, the lobby makes for a striking first impression, replete with a grand piano and a sloping roof fashioned with glass panels that water gently flows over, casting faint shadows underneath.

The resort’s 127 classic rooms and suites range in size from an ample 40sqm to a spacious 142sqm across six accommodation categories. Seven 142sqm suites come with private pools. A 122sqm presidential suite offers a quarters for bodyguards. Vietnamese artists were commissioned to create unique paintings for each room and suite, opening doors on the country’s fascinating culture. Clawfoot bathtubs and custom-built furniture such as leather-bound tables add to the resort’s old-world feel.

“We learned so many valuable lessons about how to design, orient and build a hotel with The Anam Cam Ranh; so much so that every design element that is extraordinary about our first property has been accentuated in The Anam Mui Ne, such as the layouts and flow of the accommodations,” said the resorts’ founder and owner Pham Van Hien. “The alluring woodwork in our Lang Viet Restaurant, from forests cultivated for sustainable harvests in Vietnam, is all handcrafted and took the craftspeople over six months to complete and is just one example of the many hand-crafted design elements evident in our new resort.”

“We expect The Anam Mui Ne to redefine Mui Ne’s hotel scene,” added group general manager Laurent Myter. “There is nothing quite like it; an intimate, classic and genuine Vietnamese hotel with personalized Vietnamese service that is anything but the industrialized product that so many hotel chains have established in Vietnam.”

The resort will open with a ban on single-use plastics and has implemented an array of measures to reduce its carbon footprint with solar power and locally sourced ingredients. Its water filtration plant supplies drinking water in recycled glass bottles, and laundry water is recycled to water the gardens. Straws, bags and bathroom amenities are biodegradable. The resort’s eco-friendly key cards are also made from wood that’s been sourced from sustainably managed forests.

Famed for its beach, sand dunes, fishing village, Cham towers and “Fairy Stream” – a shallow stream that flows through vivid orange and white limestone formations – Mui Ne means “sheltered peninsula” in Vietnamese and has become a Southeast Asian windsurfing mecca due to its excellent weather and wind conditions. An expressway due to open shortly will cut the drive from Ho Chi Minh City to 2.5 hours. An international airport is due to open in Mui Ne in 2025.

About The Anam Group
After the auspicious debut of The Anam Cam Ranh in 2017, the independently owned and operated The Anam Group will celebrate the grand opening of its second property, The Anam Mui Ne, in January 2023.

With “Indochine Charm” and “Modern Luxury” as its watchwords, the group blends colonial-era aesthetics and attentive Vietnamese service with modern comforts and convenience. “The Anam” today is a reference to another name “An Nam”, which was the name of Central Vietnam during the French Indochina era.

The Anam Cam Ranh overlooks 300 metres of beachfront on Vietnam’s scenic Cam Ranh peninsula, which averages more than 300 sunny days per year. The luxurious five-star resort boasts 77 villas and 136 rooms and suites. The Anam features a French-inspired fine dining restaurant, all-day dining restaurant, a Vietnamese restaurant and bar, a classical bar, a beach club, in-room dining, a 10 treatment-room spa, indoor and outdoor movie theatres, three capacious swimming pools, ballroom, conference rooms, recreation and fitness centre, a tennis court, yoga room and deck, kids club, putting green, gift shop and more.

Like its predecessor The Anam Cam Ranh, The Anam Mui Ne’s design is also an echo out of Vietnam’s Indochine era. Situated in southern Vietnam’s popular beach town Mui Ne, the 1.2 hectare beachfront resort affords spectacular ocean vistas and features 127 elegant rooms and suites, including seven 142sqm suites with private pools and a 122sqm presidential suite with an extra room for the bodyguards. Its dining landscape comprises an all-day dining restaurant and grill, beachside restaurant and bar, and lobby bar. A five-treatment room spa, two vast swimming pools, a ballroom, conference rooms, water sports center, fitness center, yoga room, kid’s club and gift shop are among the resort’s host of world-class facilities.
