Enya

DavidMn · #1 12-15-2006, 02:44 PM

I first heard about her watching the movie Sleepwalkers from the early 90's. I heard Boadicea during the closing credits and was utterly fascinated! Now I know some of these New Age stars can be very boring and make you wanna fall asleep but I think Enya is much different than that. There's a depth and magicalness to her songs. I'm a huge fan! anyone else?

I wholeheartdly agree on Clannad. I'm sure you're aware that Clannad is made up of Enya's sister, brother, and 2 uncles, and that she was a part of the band at one time.

Enya is amazing. Such a welcomed soothing change of pace.

Whenever I hear her song Only Time, I always picture some huge bird flying over water in slow motion. I dunno...

I think she is very talented, but her music has always depressed me.

Boadicia and Carribean Blue are two beautiful songs. I couldnt call myself a fan but she does have some beautiful songs out there

I used to be a huge fan of Enya. I had a couple of her CD's and I swear, that music got me through my divorce (along with Stevie, of course).

I actually have 1 Enya cd, "Paint the Sky with Stars:The Best of Enya"-Really interesting vocals.

I also recommend Enigma's 1990 release "MCMXC A.D.", which is somewhat similar, but the vocals have a more Gregorian chant style added to the music mix.

David, that song Boadicea is from her CD, the Celts. That was my first exposure to Enya. I have numerous Clannad CD's as well. I dont much care for Enya's newer stuff, I prefer the Celtic-themed music.

oooohh! Brian, good tip! Im going straightaway over to BMG and see if they have that!

More of a Clannad person, I can take Enya in small doses.
Also like her older stuff far better than her new...

Celtic music is the very very best.
