    I'm a hard rock/metal guy from way back, but I've got every Enya CD. She is simply spectacular. Beautiful production and singing. Her music brings you to a great place full of calm and hope. Great for relaxation, especially in times of need.

      @@rnw2739 - read your history - a lot of the Irish left Ireland because they were starved out during the "the potato famine", (1845-1852), which wasn't really a famine; it was a genocide by the English, to starve the Irish to death & take their land. The food was there, the Irish were just not allowed to eat it! Educate yourself. And this review was not about Kate Bush. and am not a fan of ms. Bush. She is not in Enya's league. But I digress.

    To really emphasize your comment that this is art, everything in an Enya song is HER. She rarely performs live, because it's all her recording each track, every instrument, every vocal, hundreds of individual tracks of her performing. This gives it the deep, thick, dreamlike sound of most of her music.

    Chod!! Thank you, my man!! She is quite the accomplished pianist/keyboardist/Synth. Not to mention she pretty much plays ALL the instruments as well. She sings in English, Latin, and Gaelic. Check out anything from her 1st and 2nd albums. All her albums are good, but the piano/keys are really prevalent in the first two albums. Her music is definitely sitting and soaking in the bathtub music. Just sooooo relaxing. And this coming from a Pink Floyd fan. You want a song??? Portrait (Out of the Blue) a piano piece. . Your dad might even like this one. You want vocals? "I Want Tomorrow""Enjoy.

    I own an embarrassing number of CDs and CD-singles from Enya, and this is my favorite song by her. Actually, I should probably say “by them” because she has described Enya as a trio. It’s herself, produce Nicky Ryan, and Nicky’s wife/lyricist Roma Ryan. They would spend hours/days/weeks in Nicky’s studio recording vocal overdubs to get that lush sound. One of the movies that made great use of her music was Steve Martin’s L.A. Story.
    She did spend a little time (2 CDs?) in her family’s band, Clannad, when she got out of school. She introduced the Prophet 5 synth to the very traditional acoustic Irish band. When you’re in the right frame of mind, her style of New Age Celtic music can relax you to the core.

I can't begin to explain how profound this whole journey is to me. I got to meet Enya's sister Maire in Oregon & give her one of my own albums - she was so kind & warm hearted - thank the heavens and everything good that people like this are in the world :D
