      I too suffer from depression. Last year I spent 1 month in hospital and 15 days in a coma after taking 200 painkillers to take my own life. I woke up in hospital suffering from severe delirium which was very scary indeed. I still have depression and I can't find my path to normality, to feel contented in this life. I feel nothing but distress and pain and I don't know why. I recently started reading Philosophy and for the most part Idealism which has been very very revealing and awakening in the most extraordinary sense. Maybe one day I will make a breakthrough. My mom is the only person who knows what I was in hospital for. As I read and learn more Enya's music is so well paced and helps me relax more that usual. I know how you feel with your depression and the painful nights that happen to us especially when sleep is far away. Maybe if you began reading about Idealism then Bernardo Kastrup has a great channel to begin to understand it called The Essentia Foundation and he has also written a few books on the subject. Hope you find meaning in all this and the road to recovery. It certainly has given me a sense of meaning Peter:)

    No musician has ever been as passionate, or impactful as Enya. Anyone who has ever made a negative or derogatory comment regarding this beautiful, talented woman has a problem with themselves that have not faced, or dealt with in a positive manner... Enya's innate talent cannot be compared to any other s musician that ever performed with what they had to share. This woman is one and only one of a kind. The passion, the rawness, the genuine innate vocal expression has never been matched. There is no competition from her, and will never be anyone like her... she is a diamond, a genuine unique talent that did not need polishing. She is above and beyond what anyone would even think they could ever imagine as a woman of the heart and soul of her native land... Ireland. I feel connection with her like no other connection I've ever experienced. I am grateful and proud to have discovered this rare, innate musical and vocal expression. Thank-you Enya.❤

Before they were even a thought, my husband and I would often cuddle up together after dealing with a day's worth of work related stress and we'd fall asleep to this masterpiece.

      When I first heard Enya it was in 91. "Orinoco Flow" on the Radio. The DJ said her name and I remembered it. Soon after that experience I went to the record shop to buy that record. The only CASSETTE that they had was the one with her on the cover, standing next to a German Shepherd who looked like it barking. The album was titled ENYA (now titled "The Celts"). It didn't have "Orinoco" on it, but it completely served its purpose. I later bought "water" and all that follows. 👍I would have say that "Shepherd Moon" is my fav album. But "Paint the Sky with Stars" is my fav compilation. Angelic music.

    It was 1988, living in Florence, doing Portraits on Ponte Vecchio, business was slow. A friend and I went to Lago di Garda to work- Carlo was a Parisian leftover from the 50’s & 60’s, cutting out portraits on paper. We were camping. The weather was rainy and so little business. Alas, we knew we had to leave, after a week- depending on where the next $50 would come from. We set up on the promenade, on the sea wall, with a thunderstorm storm approaching in the distance, I set up my French easel and a Beautiful Senior Couple approached- coming from the Opera in nearby Verona, her dark eyes and hair were exquisite, dressed in an orange evening gown, our Angel Of The night! Working feverishly, as a crowd amassed, with the wind kicking up, and each thunder and lightning bolt coming nearer, the crowd would respond in dramatic unison. The Portrait Completed, an Applause ensued, as I quickly rolled it up in a piece of tissue paper and into a tube, a few heavy raindrops came down, meaning business- just in time to make the transaction! As soon as I closed my easel, and the pastels were safe, the sky let loose. We got soaked but it was a
    “Happy,” kind of soaking as we ran to the car, and headed off home to Florence- with the sum total of my earnings- This Tape - and the means to motor our way back. I didn’t realize what a magical time it was..... as all time should be~

It was then I got a call from the hospice nurse saying that my mom had passed. That was in 2018.

Nowadays composers rather use a lot of sound design and sample libraries together with authentic orchestras. Maybe if Yanni collaborated with some modern producer or wrote the soundtrack for his band the results could be great. On a related note, it's been quite a while since Vangelis wrote a soundtrack too?

I went out and bought the sheet music for both 'Watermark' and 'Shepherd Moons'. "Miss Clare Remembers" and "No Holly for Miss Quinn" were the first two pieces I learned to play. Now, 30 years later, I find myself always coming back to those original two pieces. Enya's first two albums will always have a special place in my heart.

This was the solo Album that set Enya on her solo journey, I believe, Enya set the scene for my Spiritual Journey at its dawn and the rest of my life, Spiritual Healer, Crystal Healer, a Reiki Master and teacher, Medium and Reader, and much more, I continue to listen to Enya, never dating, never old, always awakening my Spirit.

      @K-Artherton yeah, this album is a fond memory and a lament. I wouldn't call it a romance, but rather a brief time of tenderness, passion and comfort. Someone that changes you in a way that's hard to put into words. Its a feeling you wish everyone could experience. "Exile" just murders me emotionally.

    While my mum was pregnant with me in 1987-1988 she would play this to me and Enya's previous album, and after I was born she would play Enya for me to sleep to, I also remember dancing with mum to Enya when I was 4 and 5, then when I grew up she would play Enya for me whenever I felt down or stressed. Enya has been such a major part of my life thanks to my mum🌷and to of course Enya herself - her music will forever hold a big place in my heart and soul. 💛

    Reading the comments about loss and the soothing quality of her sound tell me just how much Enya has had impact on lives. Ironically, some have not been able to hear her because her calming melodies are just too connected to the trauma that is loss. I can see that being a thing. The thing that helps one get through the grief becomes the grief (or too close to it.) That's too bad because I listen to this album just about every day. I bought a car with a cd player 2 years ago and got this familiar Watermark for a dollar at a thrift shop. I play it on my radio now in addition to listening at home like I have been doing for so many years. I might be up there near the top of a list of how many times one has played this. I remember when it came out in 1988 and she was on the cover of the Irish music magazine Hot Press. Time flies. But this is not just background music, it's kind of like the sound track to my life. Her voice is enchantment and that's exactly the name of my playlist. Enya Enchantment.

    I sang On Your Shore for my uncle today, sitting at his kitchen table.
    He is near the end of a wonderful life, and I visit twice a week & help my aunt a little.
    I’ve never sung for anyone - and never been so sure of doing something right…
    And: his short term memory loss is increasing. So we are suspended together for the minutes of each song I bring him, and a few beyond them as he tells me how wonderful that was …
    This is the first time I’d ever sung Enya, ever!
    - and he really loved it. He loves them all, but some - like this one - just thrill him.
    I’d talked to him beforehand- that I thought it could be about what love brings us, shows us, prepares us for, on the shore between one life and another….
    Anyway, as Enya does with each of us, the song found and held him, made sense to him and of his life - a compassionate mirror …
    ?
    Enya’s words& music touch on the unsayable.
    I am so glad I was able to bring him that gift.

    One of my favorites. I'd like to think of this collection as a positive note . Started listening to her in my mid twenties back in the early eighties. However its always been front and center through all of life's sorrows especially now in my mid sixties, time passes quick. The music is serious and heartfelt. It conjures up so many difficult times in my past and is present in my current ones. Mainly loss of a family or friend. When you get to my age it seems to be ever present. That being said it has gotten me through all of it. I told my wife I want her music played at my funeral. Thats how important it has been to me all these years.

    Life can get messy - hard to understand. I remember when my father came home from the CD shop with this album; I was 11. It brought me peace in a way I truly didn't grasp it until 17 - and fully grasp until my late 30s.
    When people tell you life gets hard, believe them. But remember - try to remember the beauty, the moments that brought you peace. This album, this artist brings me peace. I wish I had channeled this earlier in my 30s and not later.
    But nevertheless - peace can be found at any age. We needn't judge. We needn't look at someone else's timeline and say they strayed. We all take a different path.
    The river twists and turns for us all at any given point. Who are we to judge its direction, its current?

    1989 for me, just out of high school. I was dating this girl, Watermark was on my CD player, and it was a wonderful night. I can't ever listen to this album without feeling wistful. We lost touch over the years, I'm in my 50's now. We were just kids, but I'll never forget what we had, however brief it was. We only fall in love once, and spend the rest of our lives trying to find someone who comes close to that first time. Charlene, I will always remember that summer, whenever I may find you.
