A Nairalander's Top 20 Favourite Enya's Songs by Nobody: 7:40am On Apr 16, 2015 |
[/b]Being a dedicated fan listening to all of Enya’s discography, I natural over time have pictured my favorites. They’ve been in my head, now here they are on a list. You may be wondering “Why not Top 10?”, well… I don’t want to cheat out my other favorite songs! I’ve spent a good bit of time trying to perfect this list so I could share it with the blog. If you’d like to share yours, feel free to comment! (You can do a Top 10 list if you like, I’m just an overachiever) Honorable Mentions- O Come, O Come Emmanuel, It’s In The Rain, Tempus Vernum/Deora Ar Mo Chroi, Ebudæ [b]20. On My Way Home- Yes, this song is at the bottom of the list, but it’s still one of my favorites. I can really feel the lyrics through the music, even if I’m not “returning home”, the song still gives me the same joyous feeling. It’s like a trance. 19. Smaointe- Oh, those bagpipes. Those beautiful bagpipes… 18. La Soñadora- This song is so hypnotizing. The way the Spanish is used in this song fits so well with the entrancing music. It reminds me of some tracks on “The Celts.” 17. Fallen Embers- One of my favorite Enya love songs. It sounds so nostalgic and longing when it hits the bridge and she sounds like she’s crying out for her long lost love. It’s a beautiful song, but Enya’s voice sounds so sad and forlorn. 16. Boadicea- This is a song that grew on me. It’s so simple, the first time I heard it I sort of scratched my head. But the more I listened to it, the more I loved it. It’s so simple, and so haunting. It’s just the synthesizer and Enya’s overdubbed voice. That’s what makes it gold. 15. Orinoco Flow- Keep Calm and Sail Away my friends. 14. Pax Deorum- Oh man. This song is ear candy. I actually put this song on my Mass Effect fanmix because it reminded so much of the Mass Effect soundtrack with it’s pulsing beat. 13. Anywhere Is- In my opinion, this is most catch Enya song of all time. I sing this song to myself so often it’s sometimes annoying. I even narrate my life to this song, “I go into the kit-chen, because I am so hun-gry, I’m gonna make a pi-zza, and maybe drink some O-J”… 12. Marble Halls- Sure Enya didn’t write the song, but she covered it soo beautifully. Enya does covers so well, she can take any song and make it gold. This is my favorite. 11. The Celts- Ever since I saw the music video, I fell in love with this song. Enya riding on a horse is such a vivid image in my mind. It’s so triumphant. 10. Exile- I have a lot of emotions air- locked in this song from my depression. The song brings out a different side of my misery. 9. If I Could Be Where You Are- My favorite Enya love song. I don’t think I need to describe why. 8. Watermark- My favorite instrumental piano melody by Enya. It’s one of my favorites to play on the piano. Others are great, but this one is so classic. It was the first song on her first studio album…it’s like this song is her grand introduction. 7. Evening Falls…- One of my depression anthems. This is one of the songs I go to when I just can’t handle the world. “Close to home, feeling so far away”…what strong words. 6. Only If…- This song and Book of Days are two of my anxiety relieving songs. Only If was the song that calmed me down when I was about to take my driving test to get my licence. I’ll always remember that day, and if it wasn’t for Enya cheering me on, telling me to “seize the day!”, I would have ran out of the door and never came back. 5. Book of Days- Like Only If, this song empowers me. Only If and Book of Days are basically ties, because they both give me a lot of strength. But since I don’t want to do ties, I picked this one for the #5 spot because I really love the music. 4. Only Time- Pure nostalgia. This is the first Enya song I ever heard. I have memories back in my childhood to this song. That opening chord always brings me back. 3. Cursum Perficio-Oh this song is just so delicious. I LOVE dark Enya songs. Her voice is so perfect for them. This is for sure my favorite Enya song to play on the piano. This is Enya’s composing at her greatest. This is the song that made me realize how great of a composer she is- and put in my mind that she might even be a genius. 2. Trains and Winter Rains- I love this song so much because it’s a combination of every element I love about Enya. It’s dark but it’s also uplifting. Her voice sounds so haunting partnered with the strong string baseline. But then in the chorus, it’s harmonious Enya magic that we all love. For me, it’s the perfect Enya song for these reasons. 1. The River Sings- After reading about Trains and Winter Rains, you’d think that would be my favorite? Well, there’s one more song that just takes my breath away. The River Sings is the song that got me into Enya. Sure I liked Only Time, but that was about it. It wasn’t until I heard this song on a Death Note AMV (I know, weird) that I knew I had to hear more from her. This song isn’t the “perfect Enya song” like Trains and Winter Rains, but if it wasn’t for this amazing song, I wouldn’t have heard any of the rest. For that reason, this is my all time favorite Enya song. Cc: Seun Ishilove lalasticlala ggrin Etc..
