Enya

[Nahienga]

Yeah, I think it's possible to find something nice in pretty much every style of music. With some very few exceptions.

(looks over to his CDs... Enya, Manowar, Roxette, Destiny's Childe, Jean-Michel Jarre... quite a mess, eh?)

Ohh, Jean-Michael Jarre! I thought I was the only one who listened to him.

I can go on withdrawal for loooong times, but sooner or later I find myself listening again...



...but that would be another thread. No hijacking here

hehe, yeah, same here. I had almost forgotten him. =)

And as you said, this chat can wait for another topic.

Enya myself. Been awhile since I put that Orinoco Flow CD on. Will have to change that soon.

Amaratine is definately a new favorite with me.

Wild Violet is very interesting, after all I don't hear Japanese songs very often.

Strangely, I'm not super impressed with Amarantine. It's nice, but it lacks the "ethereal" sound of the earlier work.... that other-worldly sound is what I like in Enya.

I've been meaning to put together a good playlist of "other-worldly" sounding Enya songs for my iPod..... I have all her Cd's on there, I just need the playlist.

Anyone want to help?... Slow, soothing songs and preferably songs that are NOT in English... it helps me sleep if I can't understand what she's saying. If I understand the words, I think about them and my mind won't shut off.

Unless you happen to be very skilled in Latin, I recommend one of my personal favorites: Afer Ventus. A hymn to the beauty of the cosmos, blows me away everytime

Pax Deorum is one song I find otherworldly. It is from Sheepherd Moons.

Not quite. It's from "The memory of trees".

And it's quite interesting if you ask me. Most of the song sounds pretty... dark. Sinister. Yet the title means, translated, "peace of the Gods". Somewhat weird, no?

Whops. Got my albums mixed. I agree, the song sounds very dark. I was surprised by the title.

Welcome to the Enya thread. I like some songs from The Celts, but A Day Without Rain is my favorite album.

Hands down my favorite song is Bodicea. Have you heard the Album Maiden of Mysteries:Music of Enya by Taliesin Orchestra?

Great Album, all Enya songs. Yes, bump this thread!!

 

[mindalan]

I listen to Enya while I wash dishes. It stops me from thinking about how much I hate to wash dishes!

 

[mindalan]

Ok, time to unburry this thread!!!!!!
