Enya?

[Arwen Elf]

Does anyone listen to Enya? Besides the FOTR soundtrack.:) I listen to her almost religiously. Does anyone else feel the same?

[Sindarin]

I do. :) I enjoy listening to Enya whenever possible. :thumbs:

[Finrod Felagund]

yep, my wife and I listen to her, very relaxing, nice w/ a glass of wine and a book

[Gowpon]

YES! I ABSOLUTELY LUV HER!!:blush: :blush:
But what a shame that my mom can't see the difference between a song and another song...
When she heard May it Be, she was like. "What is this different from her other song?" pfbbt pfbbt

[Tinwë]

I love Enya :)
Does anyone know if she is going to be on TTT soundtrack?

[Black Rider]

my english teacher used to play enya while we were taking tests, it was great. i love enya! sail away is my favourite

[Pil]

my friend rowena pretends to be into her...which is sad and annoying... lol ... i have to admit that i only have a tape of her music...it kinda freaked me out last time i listened to it...which was three years ago...maybe i should dig it out again?! :thumbs:

[Sindarin]

You definately should. Her music's fantastic! :jester:

[Pil]

I think that it might appeal to me now...there are tracks related to lotr aren't there? now i know what they're based on it might be easier to listen too. I shall do so! :thumbs: :hooray:

[Sindarin]

You're right about that, Arwen.

Besides being right about everything else in your post, Enya just might be an elf herself. lol

[Miruvor]

I've always loved 'Orinoco Flow' (sp?) while all the rest of her music is good as background music. That singer whose name I wish I could remember, who sang the beautiful high notes in 'Titanic' reminded me of Enya.

[Arwen Elf]

Celine Dion?

[Miruvor]

No, the other one. I think her name starts with 'S' and she's from eithier Scotland or Ireland, if I remember right.

[Miruvor]

I finally came across my Titanic soundtrack so I could look it up. She is SESSEL from Norway.

<------- I'm glad I found that avatar! I have that picture on one of my FOTR book covers. ! ! ! ! !

[Princess Greenleaf]

I absolutely love Enya in singing 'A Day without rain'. It was played at a friend's wedding...

[Arwen Elf]

That is an awesome song! Has anyone ever listened to The Memory of Trees? That, in my humble opinion, is some of her best stuff! In fact, I'm listening to it right now.

[Arwen, Elven Princes]

One of my teachers played Enya and it got me into it, i had two of her CDs but lost themmecry
But yes she was so perfect for LOTR and you'd almost think she were an elf with her beautiful voice. I love that kind of music she sings. *deep sighs.*

[Alanna Of Moonwood]

I LOVE ENYA!! She's my Favorite! Oh, yes, she's the best! (Hey that almost rhymed) I have almost all of her CDs. I had A Day Without Rain, But it got lost. So sad...:( But, I'm going to go buy it today! :grin:

Have any of you listened to Clannad which is the group she was in before she wnet solo. You can hear in them the transition from Irish folk to the type of music she does now. Great to listen to.

[Bonos-Girl]

i never really listened to enya before, but i had heard a few of her songs and liked them...she was one of those people that i thought i should buy the music of and just never got round to it....like the manics...i only got round to buying 'this is my truth....' a week ago.

[Lintefaniel]

Bit of Trivia I got from my Uncle, Enya's sister is Sarah Brightman. Does anyone know her? She's one of Andrew Lloyd Webbers ex-wives....Think Phantom of the Opera...Anyways, I absolutely adore Enya. I got hooked on her when Patriot Games came out, Clannad did some of the soundtrack for it....Especially love her Watermark and Sheperds Moon albums...

[Lessa]

Sorry but your uncle was misinformed.
Eithne Ní Bhraonáin(aka Enya) was born on May 17th 1961, in Dore Bartley, a small village in the region Gaoth Dobhair (Donegal County) in the northwest of Ireland. She is the fourth youngest of nine children: Máire (1952), Ciarán, Pól, Deirdre, Leon, Eithne (1961), Bartley, Olive, and Bridín.
Sarah Brightman was born on August 14th 1960 in Hertfordshire, England. The oldest of 6 children.
So just from these two pieces of biography you can tell that they can't possibly be sisters.

[Aerandir]

I like Enya, very good is she, yes.

~Aera

[Iarfirithwen]

Enya is however related to the members of Clannad.
One of her first solo projects after leaving Clannad was to do the music for (I think) a BBC series called "The Celts", hence the album is called ..."The Celts" lol the music makes me think of the Rohirrim. Watermark is still a favourite one though, esp Evening Falls, Orinoco Flow, Storms in Africa (partially because it reminds me OF storms in Africa ~ pretty special ), Na Laetha Geat M'oige etc.
Clannad I adore. I knew of them before I knew of Enya as a solo artist. I particularly love the "theme from Harry's Game" (the one used in Patriot Games). Its becuase of that song that I tracked them down and now I have so many of their albums, but I think I prefer the earlier stuff. In addition to "The theme from Harry's Game", I particularly like "Nil sen la" and "Now is Here"
Its so funny when you see the old Clannad photos when Enya was still in there. They all look so alike. You can see Mary (Maire) and Enya are sisters. the brothers are almost interchangeable (when they have the same hair cut and facial growth ;) ).

[Lessa]

Harry's Game was a UK Tv drama in 1982 and the song became a hit over night. The song also was used by the Americans to advertise the Volkswagen cars.
I also like Clannad especially their early stuff. It drives the youngest mad when I play but the eldest like the more folky tunes like 'Nil sen la'.

Thanks Hun, I hate to get those trivia bits wrong....I didn't know she was the youngest though!! ;)

[Bonos-Girl]

apparently 'stars' (including enya) in ireland are going to step up security because there wsa an armed robbery of a house in dublin (near enyas house)...it sounds quite scary but i won't bore you with the details!!!

[Evenstar]

I listened to Clannad more than Enya till I heard the FOTR soundtrack. Now I don't listen to anything apart from the FOTR and TTT soundtracks! It drives my family crazy! :-)
Sorry, though, Tinwe: Enya's not on the TTT soundtrack. It's still brilliant though.

[Taeryn]

I listen to alot of Enya's music, I really like the sound of it :).

Oronico Flow, Carribean Blue and Only If are among my favorites.

[Yar]

I listen her and I like music. When talk about my faivorites I like most of all Themes From Calm Couri Appassionati (???) I don't know what is it but I found it and in there is almost all my faivorite songs: Once you had gold (mm.. Everytimes I listen that I imagine that I'm in moria with dwarfs even they don't dig any gold or silver there.. Once you had mithril.. lol), Song of Sandman, Evenings Falls, Book of days.. I really like that music :dragon:

[Arwen Elf]

And I thought the name Enya was a nice touch, but what you say is her real name is awsome! I wish I had accents in my name, but hey! at least it's over one syllable long, not that that is a slight to anyone. . . But there is just something about here musuc. . . I've said it before and I'll say it again, I really think she's an elf!!! :elfqueen:

[Lessa]

She does look and sound like one.

Lessa

[Pinklotus]

I like her early stuff ... but now ... it seems everything sounds the same.

She said once in an Interviw that she never listen to other Music, only her own stuff ... i think it couldn´t be wrong to open herself for other things ... I´m sure you would hear that in her Music.

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

yar i like enya too. Her name sounds elvish too. haha. love her album Paint the Sky with Stars: The Best of Enya (1997) and the lotr song May It Be. See i used it for my signature ;)
But some of her songs really drone me to sleep.
Anyone likes Gloria Estefan?

oh dear isn't that a bit egoistic of her? lol
Maybe she can't fork out the time. But she does have very unique vocals.

[*Teleri*]

I love Enya! She has such a beautiful voice and I love hearing her sing in Celtic! It's so awesome! I love listening to her music in the bathtub or in my room when I'm trying to relax. It really calms me down after a day of hard work.
