The production on Fumbling Towards Ecstacy is a close cousin to Sarah Brightman's Dive (which was uneven but hauntingly beautiful in places); it's filled with lush, engaging melodies, and the rich, swirling voice of McLachlan. The opening track, "Possession," is said to be about the behavior of an obsessive fan, and the song "Hold On" was inspired by a story about a woman whose fiance discovers he has AIDS.
