One of the most beautiful songs ever written.

The amazing thing about Enya is that writes, performs and produces most of her music. All of the background vocals you hear are her layered dozens of times. There are only three people involved in making her music: Enya, Nicky Ryan (producer) and his wife Roma Ryan (lyricist). Enya never tours, but once a year she performs live in her church on Christmas Eve.

Her music is more of an experience than anyone else I can think of. She has a way of transporting you to a different time and place where everything will be alright.

Enya is wonderful for meditation and when you need calm in your spirit. She’s amazingly melodic and will help center you.

I still remember when/where I heard "Orinoco Flow", the first song I ever heard by her. Pretty much everything she sings/plays (there are some instrumentals) is very soothing and really good. She's one of the few artists who I would buy her albums without having heard anything on it. And yeah, I agree with you about her songs and visualization. "Storms in Africa" is a *great* song to sit back with your eyes closed and listen. I have a whole music video in my mind for that song.

Same here Shane. I remember hearing Orinocco Flow and was floored by its beauty. Since then I've bought every album without hearing anything from them. Her music is so calming and beautiful. It's something to play after a stressful day. It's just a shame she takes so long between albums. I suspect Dark Island Sky may be the last.

This is a beautiful song by a beautiful woman who has an amazing voice. The fact that it's a waltz is a bonus in my opinion. She creates such lush, sumptuous soundscapes in all her music.

My favorite song of all time - no question. The whole album it's from 'Shepherd Moons' is in my top 5 that I never get tired of. This song and the music of her family band (Clannad - listen to their song 'Harry's Game'!) changed my life! I got into music and became a Celtic musician myself because of them :)

Yet another Irish Angel. They do have a way of melting your very being with their voices.

Glad you enjoyed this song! Another great song by Enya is “May It Be.” Thats the theme song she wrote for the first Lord Of The Rings Movie and she also wrote Arwen and Aragorn’s theme Also from Lord Of The Rings called Aniron. She got to see the first stages of the Lord Of The Rings being filmed having read the book herself at 16. Her oldest sister Moya sang the theme song for The Last Of The Mohicans “I Will Find You,” and was offered to write a song for Lord Of The Rings But she turned it down. Enya was born and raised in Donegal, Ireland. She lives there still in a castle. How cool is that? Love your music reactions Jay!

You would love her sister Moya’s work ‘ No matter where you go, I will find you’. It’s part of the soundtrack of ‘Last of the Mohicans’

The family group is Clannad and I love their music as well as Enya's. I listen to their music to relax and it works every time.

One of our amazing Irish artists, I grew up with Enya as one of my faves. I would listen to her with my cassette player and headphones and play this over and over before falling asleep in my bedsit in Dublin, this song brings back so many memories. Her songs are magical and hypnotic. She was huge here in Ireland in the 90s. Thank you for listening and understanding her music.

if you think enya is an experience you should listen to some Enigma tunes they take you to a different mind space, enya though is mind clense for sure.

Been a big fan for many years. Enya has a special sound that just transports you away into a soft and beautiful world! I wish the whole world was as beautiful as her music.

In Mexico Enya is very popular, we love Enya 🇲🇽

Absolutely the most relaxing music…

I remember being a child and listening to my first Enya album, The Celts. It opened the door to a new dimension of serenity. A world away from the hell I was in. ❤️

Definitely interesting listening. Still has some of the Clannad / folk elements, but well on the way to the layered vocals and synth instruments of Watermark. ("Aldebaran" definitely transports me when I hear it. Reminds me of the "Cosmos" show, even though the music is distinct.)

The first time I ever saw this video, besides loving the music, I felt I could get lost in her eyes. Such a voice, such beauty. I play it often.

This music embraces you and take you to the sky full of stars!Unbelievable❤

I love her music. It makes you wanna just sit back and chill and let the music take you some place else ❤

My father liked Enya we played “Orinoco Flow” at his funeral so it’s always an emotional listen for me

Enya is in a class of female vocalists that are just different -- they bring something else to the game. You already appreciate Kate Bush. I'd say Enya is similarly unique as Kate. Kate's not really my cup of tea, but I appreciate her talent. (I have a hearing loss and her vocal range is the frequency range that sounds the least natural/pleasant to me. Que sera, sera.) But here are a couple you should try out that have the same femine mystique and compelling and charistmatic production and composition, but not quite as ethereal or magical, but I think you'll enjoy them a lot. Sarah McLachlan is kind of amazing because she created this travelling musical festival (like Lollapalooza) of just female artists called Lilith Fair and she really created this renaissance of women in rock and gave a lot of exposure to women like PJ Harvey, Indigo Girls, Susanna Hoffs (lead from Bangles), Erykah Badu, Neneh Cherry, Tegan & Sarah, Lisa Loeb, Suzanne Vega, Tracey Chapman, and DOZENS AND DOZENS of women, and a HUGE part of why rock had such STUNNING female artists in the '90s is because Sarah McLachlan empowered them through her Lilith Fair tour that ran to dozens of cities over three years with over 150 female performers. The rock music and alt music you hear from women today is 100% influenced by what Sarah McLachlan gave the world from 1997-1999 on that tour.

I would say this is arguably one of her greatest songs out there, for me personally it is my favorite. I use it to help me relax

Enya is the best. I love a good black man reaction video.

Liked your comment. "Super well layered." She's a wizard. Love her sound.

Nice, Javon! I didn't expect you to revisit Enya, but I'm happy you did! She's one of my favorite artists. Your instincts are correct: The best way to enjoy her is to just close your eyes, relax, and let it wash over you (I've seen almost none of her videos). She is who I listen to when I'm in an airplane and need to lower my anxiety. Since you've already listened to "Orinoco Flow (Sail Away)", the next one I'd listen to is probably "Book of Days" (i.e. "Far And Away"), or perhaps "Storms in Africa", which I also really love. Both are a lot more dramatic than this one (which is great in its own soothing way).

I had forgotten how peaceful and enchanting Enya is, and how she fills her work with multiple layers of sound. It is indeed pleasing to the ear.

Whenever I listen to Enya, I just forget about everything that's bothering me. You can close your eyes, her voice is so soothing 😇😴

I first listened to her in kindergarten during nap time (yes we had that) lol and I will never forget her or my teacher till date,gracias Ms.Martinez

Same here.

The beauty of her work is truly ethereal. Intensely peaceful, if such a thing could exist. While it was never released as a single, "cursum perficio" from the Watermark album is another not-of-this-world work of brilliance

I ABSOLUTELY 100% ADORE ENYA! I own every album she has made including the Christmas albums. She is the last voice I hear every night before I fall asleep, and as a matter of fact, it this song in particular that I play on repeat while I’m sleeping. She has been right by my side when I’ve been depressed, or feeling down over the years. I have struggled with depression for over 30 years, and listening to Enya has been one of the only ways I can get through difficult days.

Rich,full,beautiful sounds...lovely music...

My all time favourite song & singer. I cannot explain how much i love her

I played this album while pregnant with my daughter, wow 30 years ago this year! When she was born this music would calm her when she was upset it was also the first music she danced and sang to at 9 months old. Orinoco Flow is gorgeous too and was my daughter's favourite as well as Wild Child which she was! Enya has such a uniquely ethereal sound that's timeless.

And Sally Oldfield, Water bearer.

It takes her 5-7 years on average to make an album - and sometimes even longer. With some breaks for concert tours typically after the release of a previous album. She does all the vocals herself and layers the different pitches (used to be analog, but nowadays they do it all digitally). She cuts no corners and takes no shortcuts No backup singers. No Autotuning crap. Just pure Enya and all her voice. (she also plays a fair few of the instruments too)

Let the music wash over you, it is pure gold.

Enya's music is beautiful, inspiring for my own music (Though I write instrumental). She layers some of her vocals on 80-100 tracks in a single song for JUST for the vocals and she records each of them separately.

She is amazing. Love the layers! This track is one of my favorites from her. Immensely beautiful!

I’m from an Irish-American family so Enya has been in my life since i was a baby, i used to sing along to Only Time when i was grade school-age. Haven’t heard this one since childhood and forgot how good it is

Unique. Amazing. Timeless.

she has been one of the best singers in the world since the 1980s she has a long and amazing selection of great songs

Love enya since the 80s.

Beautiful & so tranquil

Been a fan of Enya since forever.. Many of her songs, this included remind me of the past, past relationships.. Beautiful, but brings some sad memories too..

Its a real Irish sound, the sound of bird's ,water, wind, wave's all translated by musical instruments and the voice of someone from tir na nÓg

Wow Javon - I haven't heard this in AGES - but it used to be a favourite of mine. The flow is just incredible. Thanks for reminding me :) Lots of love from Canada

"Book of Days" from this album is also a great song.

I love Enya! I first discovered Enya when I heard Orinoco Flow. Since then, I’ve become a huge fan. Her music allows you to drift away in your mind. To go outside the box.

Beautiful song. Something I really appreciate about you is that you do such diverse songs from all kinds of music genre. Love your reactions.

Enya, my top 5 artist! She makes me feel in ways only her music can't do. So heavenly!

Always loved Enya. Other worldly!

I have played Enya softly at night to help my children fall asleep at night . Worked very well. They still listen to it as adults. The grand kids love it to. It puts them to sleep at bedtime in just minutes.

Wonderful reaction to a beautiful song that calmed my children (and me) many nights when they were yourng and trying to sleep. Enya is peace and love. This should be blasted on loudspeakers all ove Gaza, the Ukraine and around the world.

I hope the day my heart stops beating, Enya will be playing in the background... her angelic voice shall carry me to the heavens above ❤

Your appreciation is everything. Thank you JV❤️

I'm a big fan of Enya. Her albums takes years because she gathers inspiration from many things but mostly life and nature.

I'm so glad you backed up a bit so you could hear the crazy series of chords she starts at 4:02. It's like, so strange but so gorgeous at the same time, you can't help but float along to wherever it leads.

Smooth beyond belief, I have never heard her do a live version of this song and I'm sure I never will, replicating this outside of a recording studio would be almost impossible.

Some person stories here and other Enya music channels are told that some of her songs marked theirs childhood for life. Mine as well, heard Enya for the 1st time in 1991, this song actually, I was 8 years old. How can a child be shocked by hearing this? It was true. So marvelous. Well I think a genuine child can really perceive things better than adults, the simplest, purest and natural message, only by melodic nuances and to be honest, understanding through the years what really is music or what and how should be understood is beyound the conservatoire repertoire. Enya and Vangelis understood that, specially Vangelis who had not formal training at all.

Enya’s music is gorgeous. I get lost in it unlike any other music I hear. Fun fact: on road trips when my young children could just not settle down and go to sleep, I’d pop in an Enya CD and that would do the trick!

This is brilliant as is Enya and her family group Clannad with her elder sister Moya whose voice is just as wonderful to listen to. You have such diverse music you listen to and I love that, so many stick to one genre and dont open their minds to the wealth and variety that is there for everyone to enjoy. Take care and stay safe please my friends God bless you all love hugs and peace to everyone Mary-Ellen UK

I freaking love this music Bro.. salve do Brasil 🇧🇷 now under new management, thank god

The favourite song of mine from Enya! I listen to this when ever I am doing something creative like drawing or digital artwork. I easily get inspired from this song to create anything like from different scenarios in nature.

I was at a hotel bar in Waikiki when I first heard this song. This song paints an image in my mind of being on tropical waters sailing around. She is insanely talented.

I float everytime I hear this song. Makes me feel soooo happy! 🥰

LOVE HER MUSIC!!! MORE❤!!!

This is my Absolute favorite Enya song, I still listen to it to fall asleep 👍🏾

Its not just the vocals that she is layering. She records all of the instrumentals and effects herself. There are many many tracks mixed...all by her.

Very soothing...!💙

There is a unique richness and layering to Enya's music which gives it a depth that you seldom hear . Although not entirely the same I've always found Enigma similar and equally beautiful and engulfing

Thank you for your reaction. Enya is absolutely amazing.

She does everything. Songs are written by her, all the instruments are played by her. This is why she doesn’t tour,

Yeah, man. This one and Orinoco Flow were my favorites but the entire album is great. I used to listen to these songs while on travel in the mountain sitting on my back in a meadow with my eyes closed or looking at the sky. Some experience that was...

Her music is incredible. Takes you to another world. ^^

The most beautiful Enya songs to me are “May It Be” from Lord of the Rings soundtrack and “If I Could Be Where You Are” , the later of which if you choose select the you tube version that has a woman in a misty cemetery- it’s a stunning video to go with an equally beautiful song.

Relaxing, refreshing, soothing, all in one 🙏💜🌈

Angelic and timeless! Great choice!

And she plays every instrument!

Oh wow!!Another Great song from my teenage years!Enja!💖💥💖

Whenever I have to go in the hospital…Enya goes on heavy rotation due to it’s calming effect. Soothing.

Enya is an experience.. This is my favorite song. Watching you listen to it, I knew you got it

Years ago when I first heard this unique song I immediately thought one of the ABBA singing group had gone solo! This song gives me that kind of vibe.

Bro... I feel like I can fly to the deepest space when I hear Enya.. I can see the galaxies... the stars... the planets... it’s so deep..
