one of my college profs was a surprisingly attractive 35ish year old woman who was hardcore into 90’s alternative whatever culture and was completely unaware of how hysterical that was

like a living snl sketch

I think she tried to be a famous artist, failed, and moved to the midwest to teach and have polyamorous sex with students until her wealthy husband found out and dumped her and she had to live on her adjunct income and some of the sparkle went out of her black turtlenecked eyes

ok well that is my enya story

Back when Kazaa was a thing I grabbed a trance mix that had a bit that totally sounded like Enya. The fuckin sample eluded me for years until i discovered that it was Chicane - Saltwater. It may as well be Enya and it's not like you can Google some random airy white wine mom singing.



Edit: Hahahaha whoops, fixed!

It sounds like Enya because the song is sampled from the Irish band Clannad, who is fronted by Enya's sister Moya.

Even Johnson's version was a cover, Dionne Warwick was the first to release it in '63

It was written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David who also co-wrote hits such as Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head, What the World Needs Now Is Love, "I Say a Little Prayer, etc etc etc.

It's not sampled, Moya actually sang on the track with Chicane.

I had to go and look it up and you're right. It is one of Clannad's songs, specifically Theme from Harry's Game and she redid it solo specifically for Chicane.

My dad was super into Enya, still is I think. When he was a university administrator he bought himself a really nice computer with the best sound card and speakers that came with a Dell at the time, including a big fuckoff subwoofer. In his office he listened to about 4 different things: one of three Enya albums, the soundtrack to Ghost in the Darkness, baroque choral music, or Mannheim Steamroller if it was between October and January, but mostly Enya. He would crank that poo poo up so you could hear it way down the hall of the department.
I remember one time I went into his office and he was excited because he figured out the subwoofer made the blinds rattle when he really turned up Sail Away. I always wanted to be a fly on the wall when his administrative assistants gossiped about him.

Now he’s retired and has a really nice luxury truck with XM and he listens to Spa Radio and gets excited when they play Enya.

Ghost in The Darkness soundtrack is actually really amazing.

So a geological era ago I read a forum post somewhere (not here) that basically said Massive Attack's Teardrop was the aural equivalent of sitting in a warm bath surrounded by candles, and I promptly went out and picked up a chill out mix cd with that on it and played it in my car all summer

This is 15 years before I actually bought the Massive Attack cd, and at least five before House used it for an OP theme

But that's not the song I want to tell you about. The song I want to tell you about is the only other track on the chill out mix CD worth remembering. That track is CYLONS IN LOVE.

The ambient quality and Sarah's voice remind me of Enya so I thought of that because of this thread. My apologies in advance if this thread is Enyas only, I'm not sure of the rules of her castle besides more cats.

I joined a gym,
Although it's not punk at all,
But i gotta look good and lower my cholesterol.
There's one girl i want to notice me.
I'll have a slightly better chance if my body is buff you see.
I'm being obsessive, B-E obsessive.
Her name is enya, for her, im running this mile,
And it will upset my parents that i am stalking a gentile.
I'm willing to do anything, i'll be her slave.
There's only one word difference in "new age" and "new wave".
We can sing it enya, your synthesizer or mine,
It's all the same,
And doesn't enya goren oronoco flow,
Like the perfect name?
So i joined a gym with my dad,
We were both scared,
And it's always pretty weird seeing your dad in his underwear.
At the universal machine,
I put the weight at 1 lbs. you see,
I bench the thing up and down real fast and everybody envies me.
You don't even know me enya, and i've only seen your face on the cover of your cd.
I'm waiting for you enya, so please enya wait for me.
Your heart could fall for mine if you let it,
I wrote you a love letter did you get it?
Though i know this might sound strange,
If you don't like who i am, maybe i can change.

I was obsessed with Loreena McKennitt as a toddler and then again in high school cause I liked rare/period musical instruments and her music incorporates tons of those. Nyckelharpa, hurdy-gurdy, bouzouki, kanun, esraj. Even used the loving lyre in some of her songs, I mean she plays the harp already so it's already overkill.

She's totally not why I ended up getting a harp.

Also looking for new age music on the kazaa or bearshares would bring up tons of ENYA - ENIGMA: AMADEUS and like, that song isn't from either Enigma or Enya but it DID have a poo poo ton of cgi dolphins in the music video.
