Over the last thirteen years Enya has given the world her special
Celtic-new age twist to popular music in six albums, and a handful of
singles and compilations. However, her popularity peak did seem
to be centered around the early 90's. My first experience with
In
our modern era of minds crowded with thought, Enya is a welcome
source of peace.
Enya was a gift from my Grandmother. At the time, I'm not sure
I'd heard of Enya, of if so, that it was an album I planned to buy for
myself. However, over the years, my Enya collection has grown to
be some of the most valuable music in my collection.
The reason for this is simple, Enya's music clears the mind. If
Mozart stimulates mental acuity, then Enya stimulates mental
tranquility. In our modern era of minds crowded with thought,
Enya is a welcome source of peace. I first discovered the
music's power in an attempt to get some sleep. I tend to do a
lot of my thinking and planning right when I'm supposed to be falling
asleep. Listening to music helps prevent the detailed thinking,
but tends to just make me think about other things. Enya is just
the opposite.
Another amazing power
of Enya's music was revealed to me by a friend of mine. Along
with the curse of not being able to go to sleep at night, I'm also
cursed with a mental jukebox. It tends to get stuck on
musicals. It's not a good jukebox though, since it tends to only
play a couple refrains of the same song over and over. This is a
common experience for most people. I think my only exception is
that I have the mental music playing almost all my waking hours.
Enya's cleansing power works on this stain too. It keeps me from
hearing the other tune, and doesn't leave a residue of its own.
These powers have
kept Enya in my active queue far longer than most other musical
groups. And if for no other reason, it's for these powers that I
recommend that all people keep a supply of Enya ready-at-hand.
Just like there's a bottle of Shout under the bathroom sink for the
occasional spaghetti sauce stain, there's a disc or two of Enya ready
on the shelf.
