Enya is one of those musicians whose entire existence is just so cohesive. She lives in an Irish castle; sings in English, Irish, or a nonsense composition of word-like sounds; likes to visit empty churches; and is chronically single, preferring to dote on her nieces and nephews. Such a mood.
My mom ALWAYS played enya for me as a little girl, when I got pregnant with my daughter I played this for her while I’d bathe. She’s stop kicking me almost instantly and would calm down.
Thanks for sharing! ❤️Now I need to call my mom and tell her how much I love her, time flies too fast.
Memory unlocked – when I was a child my mother burnt several songs to a disc and would play them on a cd player she bought for me when I was going to sleep. This was one of the first songs on the disc. Good times man.
I miss the 90s, I really think we are going to look back on them and say, “that was great decade, technology was a tool that made life easier and brought people together before it destroyed all of our brains.”
Look, what I’m trying to say is that if I was dying and I decided that even though I’d never particularly been into, say, Enya before but that now I really, really was into Enya and that in fact, I thought Enya was great and that Enya died for our sins and I wanted an Enya themed funeral with pictures of Enya and lots and lots of mentions of Enya, then I think it would be a bit bloody rich for my sister to ban all mention of Enya from my funeral. Yeah?
The first cruise I ever went on (it was to the Caribbean) I listened to Enya sitting on our balcony watching the ocean (which was the color of Windex, I am not kidding) and it was almost too much to bear it was so fucking great
Wow. This unlocked a deep memory in me. I was born in 1997 and remember my older sister playing Enya to go to sleep at night. It gives me that safe, secure feeling that I didn’t appreciate when I was a kid.
Enya always hits me like it’s 1995 and I’m 8 years old and have stayed up too late watching PBS and some trippy ethereal shit starts coming on and I know I should turn it off cuz it does weird shit to my psyche but I jus can’t do it until it’s over and then I have freaky dreams that night. Anybody else?
I am a hard rock/heavy metal derp nerd, but there is never an Enya song I will not love and cherish. Enya transcends genres for a simple and loveable beauty.
Mood music… extraordinary
I’ve always loved Enya. The video style is a lot like the movie What dreams may come. I wonder if they are made by the same person?
A great modern-day composer.
Holy shit this took me back to my childhood riding in the family Volvo.

Thanks for a great blast from the past.
Enya takes me to a time, a place and a feeling not many other artists can.
What I listen to when I get anxiety or need to calm. Have always loved her music since high school
Listened to her for years; never seen her face before. Her eyes are… just wow.

When I have panic attacks this is my jam
Enya is a musical genius who doesn’t get the recognition she deserves.
I’ve always loved this song and the video gives me the same vibes as one of my favorite movies, What Dreams May Come
I always thought the stop-motion / painting effect was pretty cool.
Always struggle to keep my eyes dry to this
Her music was such a part of my childhood
OMG I remember every frame of this video!
Gone are the days when you could turn on MTV and find new music to watch and enjoy.
My go to study music when I was feeling stressed
When I worked in a day care in the early 2000s we played enya for the kids. It calmed them down and we used it during nap time as well
Enya calms my soul
When I was a kid, we once drove with my dad to pick up my sister late at night from university, and this song came on the radio.
It was the first song I looked up on my own to listen to later.

enya is so damn cool
Love Enya. Favorite song is China Rose
Didn’t she sing Orinoco Flow?
I miss the 90s, I really think we are going to look back on them and say, “that was great decade, technology was a tool that made life easier and brought people together before it destroyed all of our brains.”
Holy shit this just took me back 15 years
Time to dig out the old CDs!
The whale song
This song makes me think of being some large ocean dwelling creature
Enya is always in my Spotify top
That video stands the test of time!
First time I heard Orinoco Flow in college, I went and bought the CD. Still listen to her on Spotify.
this song makes me feel unique emotions which leads me to cry like a baby ( in a good way ) ❤️

I’ve never heard this song, or Enya at all, but I like it.

Was born in 1988 this definitely brings back tons of childhood memories
Kate Bush, Sheena Easton, Enya, Stevie Nicks…
A classic age of music that brought me such joy and peace, when I wasn’t listening to heavy metal, synth, psychedelia, and new wave.
The all time best new age musician and an extremely talented person. She has so many great other songs if anyone interested.
Only Time
Wild Child
Orinoco Flow
May it be (absolutely inspired choice for the lotr movie)
The Humming
Trains and Winter Rains
Echos in Rain
She’s so good- I used to love burning candles- taking like 2 hits of shit weed from a tin foil pipe I fashioned myself and losing myself to this
This is what a storybook sounds like…just perfect
*Eurus*
*Afer Ventus*
*Boreas*
*Zephyrus*
*Africus*
The vocalizations she makes at the beginning, middle, and end of the song are the (Greco-Roman) ancient names of winds.
When I found this out by looking up the lyrics, I had a deeper appreciation of the way she dynamically sings their names, like the wind itself.
I also gained a deeper appreciation of Enya. 🙏
God how I miss the 90’s what a simpler time.

My 4th grade teacher would play Enya while we did work. Ms. Keebler, you were very mean, but thanks for the Enya introduction.
