Glad you like Enya, Guitar. You should check out the rest of her family and the family band that she got her start in...Clannad. Their music is awesome! (They contributed to CW too as in Newgrange and Harry's Game).

Down By the Salley Gardens is a traditional tune, also called Maids of Mourne Shore so technically Orla didn't take it from Clannad, but I'm not surprised they did it. I have a lot of versions of it, or have heard them, anyway.
As for Enya, I've loved her for ages, some of the first CDs I purchased were hers. I love Amarantine but my favorite album is the Celts.

When you think of me
sing a heart-spun song
When it's over,
sing it once more.
When you dream of me
dream when I'll meet you
on that distant shore.

Talk about talent. It blew my mind when I read the credits on the album Amarantine and saw that "All instruments and volcals performed by Inya".

If you wonder why that tune is called "Harry's Game" even though it is sung in Irish, (except for the chorus, which is mouth music) it was the theme song for a 3-part drama on British TV in 1982 called "Harry's Game".
Harry was an undercover British agent, sent to infiltrate the IRA in Northern Ireland.
It was a good, award-winning production.

And let's not forget that Harry's Game was the first and up until today the only song sung in Gaelic to make Britians top hits.

My personal favorite CD of Enya's is "Shepherd Moons" - beautiful!

Well, I can also guess there is a video of Lisa performing "May It Be" (an Enya song) from Lord Of The Rings" remaining forever.
Anyhow, I like "It's In The Rain". It's very great too.

Orlagh was part of Clannad (well, she toured with them, anyways), and she (Orlagh) sang Newgrange, Harry's Game, and Down By The Sally Gardens, and Enya did May It Be, Orinoco Flow, and Lisa sang both of them. Hmm, I wonder what next. Olga does a great job
umm.... i dont mean to be rude, but its Orla how can i misspell one of my favorites......sorry Orla......
Oh, I don't think she'll mind TOO badly. She had fans calling her Orlagg, and Orlaff. Olga was just a slip of the fingers, so to speak... I guess |
