I must admit to really loving Enya and her music. From the days of Clannad and via ‘Orinoco Flow’ and ‘Caribbean Blue’, I have always admired the fact that her own style of Celtic influenced electronic new age music has always generated new and exciting sounds and this song is my favourite from the album ‘ A Day Without Rain’.
At the time this album was released I was back living in Loughton with Kerry in our little flat, recently married and wondering what the future would bring as Christmas was approaching. At the time I first put the album on (which was a present from Kerry) I had no idea that one year later we would have moved to a new flat (which had central heating) and would be holding our first baby – Miss Ophelia - in our arms and at the same time wondering what kind of world we had brought our daughter into as we had witnessed the mass murder of so many in the New York Trade Centre atrocity.
This song reminds me of that time and these experiences and I remember them whenever I hear it.
Enjoy the song…
