It's called "Evening Falls...".

And I agree, it's a beautiful song.  She's got such an incredible voice!

I don't agree, but the point is pretty well made.  I won't rmgroup
alt.music.enya.  I'll still put in my word against the idea when
someone suggests a single-artist newsgroup, but in general I _like_
the anarchic feel of alt.*, and I think this would basically be
counterproductive.  Sorry for all the pissing and moaning there for a

Announcing the Enya mailing list

This list is intended to be discussion of the musical artist enya - her
music, her musical equipment, and whatever other trivia you can come up
with (but NOT a debate about her gender!).  This should take some
pressure off those who are sick of enya on rec.music.newage, and those
who hope alt.music.enya will go away.

Yes, Enya is Maire's sis.   I think that Enya's actual name is something
close to Eithne Bhraionain, but she uses Enya Brennan as a simplification.
And I really think that Enya did collaborate with her fellow siblings in
the very early Clannad years, but that she dropped out just before they
started exporting their popularity elsewhere (Macalla and such...)  I
have a hard time getting into her newer stuff (Enya, that is), since to
me Shepherd's Moon sounds a lot like Watermark.  I enjoyed her first trial
a lot better...  And I'm a Clannad nut, so I guess I'm a bit tainted.

Damned shame too.  I tried every way I could think of to make it work, but 
it just wouldn't fit.  "On Your Shore" has the benefit of sounding just a 
tad 'churchey.'

I guess "Exile" would be too melancholy for a wedding, eh??  :-)


I wonder what exactly makes her music so powerful to some people?  I have
introduced it to a number of people I know, and there are two basic
reactions:

(1)  Wow, that's -beautiful-

(2)  Not much to it, is there?

I happen to have had reaction (1). :-)  I guess I can see why some people
think that it's too subdued and minimalist.  But I don't.  And I kind
of wonder what it has that so appeals to me...  Must be that hot babe on
the album cover.

[ yes, i -know- it's her...  :-) ]

And that just made me think of one more thing - you know that portait of
her inside the booklet for Shepherd Moons?  Not the one at the end, the
one towards the middle.  Do you suppose we could convince the record 
company to blow that up into a poster? 

No, I'm serious!  :-)

This is a reaction to both this and all the other postings on this

Most of the songs on Watermark are great, but I like 'When the
Evening falls' better than any of them. I hope it is not really
called something else; I call it 'Evening falls'. (Isn't it called
that on the cover?)

   It is so "sad"/beatiful, that it sends chills down my spine, and
I don't know any other piece of music, I have heard so many times, and
not got tired of.

Yet it is so very simple.

I'll not remove the group at pitt.edu unless it appears that there is no
"serious" traffic in the group.  As long as people are using the group for

She seems to have lost some spirit and originality! 
Several were the songs i heard and immediately thought 
   ` oh! she's doing a remix of one of her earlier songs! how nice '

For those of you keeping score, the latest use of an enya selection in a tele-

Orinoco Flow (sail away).  I understand that Storms in Africa was used pre-
viously in an American Express commercial; i must have missed that...:(.
Well it's good to know that one of the few musical artists with any real integ-
rity is now having an easier time with the bills---considering all the over-
rated "BIG" stars in music getting gazillions in product endorsements, i guess
all the demand from ad executives to use Enya's stuff proves there is still
some justice in this world.  Still, one hopes, naturally, that it doesn't go
too far (to refer to a previous post, do we really want to deal with what
shoes, what beer, what car, etc, et al, ad nauseum, Enya should sell??!!).

Ah-Ha!  The truth comes out!  Enya is a trekkie!  "Afer Ventus" is all about
