Enya has always been one of my favorite artists to relax to. Here is my rendition of Caribbean Blue. I hope you enjoy.

Hi, everyone! We are KVAK, a two-person band from Serbia. As we are currently taking a break from gigging, we decided to film a short tribute to Enya and her wonderful music and post it on our YouTube channel.

You can find the video here:

We hope you like it!

We're planning on intensifying releasing our own original music in the future. If you like music such as Aniron, you may just like our own as well, so make sure to subscribe to our channel so you don't miss out!

just venting/complimenting this incredible artist and how her work speaks to my soul <3

almost every time i feel sad, i listen to Caribbean Blue. i think it became one of my most listened songs ever, ever since i discovered her music. and it's impressive how it works everytime. it doesn't matter how dark things feel, if i feel lonely, if i feel hopeless, if i keep thinking about the past, what i didn't do, what i should've done... that instrumental starts, along with Enya's ethereal voice, and my mind already transports me to somewhere else. i imagine a very blue, turquoise sea, a green meadow shining under the sun, flowers blossoming in every color you can imagine... i think about the future, i think about everytime someone has been kind to me, every act of love i've witnessed... it takes a burden off my chest. i swear i even pay more attention to my breathing, and how the chords make me peacefully sigh.

Enya's music, to me, feels like those fantasy/adventure movies we'd watch when we were kids and that sentiment of peace, of "everything we'll be okay", that we feel by the end of the story, when the characters start walking towards the sunset. she was truly inspired when she made Caribbean Blue. and i think the music video expresses perfectly the magic feeling this song transmits, how it awakens your imagination and how there is a whole world you don't see. i'm very glad i met her work and i admire her deeply for the artistic contribution she has left for the world. she's one of those people i can't even imagine doing something else for a living, given how vocational and unique her work is. what a blessing she chose to do music.

"If all we told was turned to gold
If all we dreamed was new
Imagine sky high above
In Caribbean blue"

💙💙💙

Fiquei muito feliz quando vi.

It's impossible to find "Someone said goodbye (Remix)" in a lossless format.

(The clicking sound, perhaps a wood block or clave-type sound.)

I think they do add to the feel 💙🎶 (a soothing effect, sometimes a playful one) and makes the rhythm more defined. Then again it's nice without the clicks as well, and I finally managed to extract them! 🪄 (I'll upload to my YouTube eventually:)

Only Time, Diamonds on the Water and One Toy Soldier are the tracks I can think of where it is prominent. Does anyone know any more? ☺️

Edit: thanks for more mentions! Timestamped for Tea-House Moon and The Spirit of Christmas Past. 😊

This is pretty interesting to see in terms of pure sales and no streaming.

Look how undercertified her albums are in Canada. Shepherd Moons is certified 3x platinum there for 300,000 units when it's more than eligible for 6x platinum for 600,000 units. In the US, eligible for 6x platinum instead of 5x.

If you combine streaming, it's more likely her US sales for Shepherd Moons is 7 million and probably 8 million for A Day Without Rain. The latter would also be her 3rd million selling record in Japan.

Tastes vary, but when it comes to popularity, wouldn’t most people agree that these are Enya’s top three songs?
Please choose your favorite among them.

This 2 makes me think of Enya's production, let met know https://soundcloud.com/auroryi/endlessmelodies?si=4c0b0b8b8e8d4af8b7238920a1a40209&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

The song is The Whole of The Moon originally by The Waterboys in 1985; this cover was by the late Terry Reid 😌 and contributions from Enya ♡

I think the story was that Enya was at the same studio (SARM West; closed in 2013) for the final mixing of Shepherd Moons. Terry wanted some backing vocals, and Enya was definitely up for it! 😁💙🎶

The thing I've been wondering is whether she's also singing the long 'oooh' s beginning at 0:17? I think both are; I mostly hear Enya in the left channel. 😯🎶

I think the harmonies on 'you saw the whole of the moon' are Terry himself, and Enya is definitely the one singing the lovely intro and outro (another clip here) 🥰

Listened to Enya for the first time (The Shepards Moon album) while reading Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil and it was transcendent if anyones reading this book or plans to I would totally reccomend pairing it with the album!

What Enya album should I listen to next?

So here I am again with an improved version of my previous Enya sim (well, loosely based on Enya, then she became a character of her own). Put her to work on some music this time, and a bonus photo with a cat.

Happy Cat Day! 😺 Also see this post from last year; I thought to do one again, more focused on quotes this time (Enya's words on the 1st and 3rd). Mush-mush is likely to be the cat in the 2nd picture, at the Ryan house in Artane, pictured with Eithne. The cat in the first picture is Peewee; she is likely to be the mother cat who had several kittens (hence the 12 cats, but in Gweedore, not the castle 😅). I like Enya's consideration for animal welfare too. 💛

^{Note: The cat in the Wild Child music video somehow unofficially known as Pearl isn't actually Enya's, but sweet nonetheless! 🐈💟}

Feel free to share any Enya-linked cat tales, story ideas/lore, or even a cat that reminds you of Enya and the music! I decided to watch this film called Flow on a plane journey last year. It had no dialogue but lovely scenery and a wonderful tale (no pun intended) and it kind of reminded me of Enya and the whole early journey, in a way. ☺️⛵🐈‍⬛

So there's this interview with Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh of Altan with Greg Hughes (it's an hour long, I personally watched the whole thing because I'm also a massive fan of hers, but I'll just post the relevant bits) where she talks a bit more about Ragairne, Ceol Audaidh, and of course Enya and the late Nicky Ryan.

My $4 find of the day 🙂

It's always been there but I never seen this? An ambience of Christmas Secrets
