    It's 1989 and I am sitting alone in my mom's garage, after having a garage sale that day to sell the rest of her belongings. She had passed away 3 months prior. Anyway, I was looking across the road at the little country church and a field that lay beyond it. The sun was just above the horizon - soon to set. I had a Enya cassette tape playing and her song "Miss Claire Remembers" came on and to this day, I can feel that perfect peace that I felt, at that moment in time. I am convinced it was a gift from above, an extra measure of comfort when I so needed it.🌹🙏

    Enya is a musical legend whom I have been listening to for decades. Her music is ethereal in its magic. Being Irish, her native language is actually Gaeilge, or Irish Gaelic, which she uses in some of her songs. She composes most of her songs, and everything she does is exceptional. She was contacted by Peter Jackson to specifically compose her music for the Lord of the Rings movies, because he wanted it to sound magical. Some of my favorites of hers are Caribbean Blue, China Roses, Wild Child, Amarantine, and It's in the Rain. You must listen to It's in the Rain; it's just awesome, as is most of her songs.

    Enya is special. Those choir harmonies are multiple tracks of her own voice layered multiple times. She is known for even layering over 100 vocal tracks on certain songs. She is an angel, btw. And though many of her songs arenot sung in English, they are beauty beyond language, and you will find yourself speaking that other language because of her exquisite melodies. ❤

    Enya is my stress reliever, happy brain chemical producer, time machine to my 20s, meditation guide... I think my favorite song of hers is "How Can I Keep From Singing?" That song brings me out of my body like no other. My dad loved her music and he was taken way too soon in 1996 at the age of 61... we played that song at his memorial, so that just adds another layer to where her voice takes me.

But the time in prison changes most people, and they cannot conform back to being in society. Too many people came back, only because society refused to give a chance to a convicted felon. Once a person sees himself as a convict, or sees the social injustice of the system, the desire to be law-abiding drastically diminishes.

My favourite song of hers by far is "Caribbean Blue" from the 1991 album "Shepherd Moons".

    You've just entered the rabbit hole. I've listened to the majesty of Enya for over 35 years, she is her own genre. I've not encountered such talent in any other artist or group of artists. Why doesn't she tour? Because for most of her songs she sings all of the vocals (which is why the harmonies are so perfect) and plays most, if not all of the instruments, and it takes the technological capability of overdubbing to display her genius. "Only Time" is an incredible song, but not even in the top 10 of Enya's oeuvre. I encourage you to dive into the Enya rabbit hole, you will discover a whole new wonderland.

    As many have noted, Enya was briefly in her family's band, Clannad with her sister Maire/Moya. I first saw Clannad live on the Mall in DC in the summer of 1976. I last saw them on Valentines Day 2014 at the MIM in Phoenix. Alas, Moya's uncle Pádraig died two years later, and uncle Noel died just last year. "In a Lifetime" was a minor hit for them ( because of Bono, of U2 lending some vocals ), and "The Theme to Harry's Game" was also a big hit, and was also used in the Harrison Ford / Jack Ryan movie "Patriot Games". Give them a listen. I think you will like.

    Enya is known as a Celtic New-Age artist... If you like her I think you would also like Loreena McKennitt. She is also New-Age but she melds Celtic and Middle Eastern music. One of her biggest commercially successful songs was "The Mummer's Dance". One of my personal favorites by her is the "Marrakesh Night Market". Her music is very dynamic and her voice hauntingly beautiful. She uses a number of different instruments in her music... Celtic Harp, Fiddle, conga drums, accordion... she manages to intertwine both Celtic rhythms and middle eastern into a emotional journey to exotic places.

    2. Caribbean Blue
    3. Book of Days
    4. Storms in Africa
    5. Watermark (short, no vocals)
    If you want a taste of Clannad, and a sound very similar to Enya, they have a slow, whispy/chanty, Christmas song called “Dealramh Go Deo”. It’s in Irish or Celtic maybe. Close your eyes and fall even further into your chair.

    Wow, a reaction channel who is finally doing Enya. She is one of my top 5 artists! I have been listening to her since 1990. Love her, I have all of her CDs, and it never gets old listening to her. She takes you to a time we all remember! You can't go wrong with any of ger CDs. Her sister had a band called Clannad. She did a piece in the Last of The Mohicans. Great artist! Another artist I recommend is Loreena McKinnett. Another wordly artist!Amber, I get exactly what you are saying. She touches your soul and, in my opinion, takes you home.

      @robsquadreaction5 Hi Rob Squad, I'm messaging you! Lol...I have enjoyed your channel from day one. Rob, you being introduced to AC/DC was the first time I saw your channel. From there, I was hooked. You have grown. And Amber coming on the scene was a perfect choice. You guys rock! Whats telegram?

    Knew you'd love her!! Such a unique voice and vibe!! Please check out her songs Orinoco Flow, Marble Halls, Watermark, May It Be, Evening Falls, Storms in Africa, Anywhere Is, Ebudae, & Miss Clare Remembers. Also the original band she was in Clannad. Their hauntingly beautiful songs In A Lifetime & Theme From "Harry's Game" will give you chills. Lastly, Loreena McKinnett has an amazing song, The Mummer's Dance. Love you guys, keep smiling and Happy New Year!! 🎶✨💖✨🎶

      Love Loreena McKinnett! I immediately think of her in the same league as Enya.

      I'm so glad you mentioned Clannad! Enya and her siblings are all so talented, and very much worth a listen.

    When my Mom passed in 2008, I used Enya's May It Be as one of the memorial songs that played to her slide show at the Wake. My siblings were surprised I chose it because I'm such a rock and roller. But I thought it was so fitting. Very angelic voice.

    You can listen to any of her songs at night when you are going to sleep and you will never know where your mind will go. Her music has given me some of the best sleep and most cherished dreams of my life. This is more than music, it's therapy.

    Her version of How Can I Keep From Singing makes me so peaceful and happy.
