The Path of Thorns (Terms) is a hit song by singer-songwriter Sarah McLachlan from her album, Solace. A nearly 6-minute ballad, it is one of McLachlan’s longest compositions. It was her first top-forty chart hit in her native Canada, and the 50 millionth song purchased from the iTunes Store.[1] The original music video for this song shows a couple dancing but is distinguished by the fact McLachlan was filmed performing the song nude.
