Hi all welcome back to another video Dereck Reacts back at it again! This time around we take a look at another PATREON request with a first time reaction to ENYA and her song "Orinoco Flow" (Sail Away). This song feels more like Sail Away than Orinoco Flow, but it hold everything in tune with sounds and amazing layered vocals by Enya. This 80s song can easy fall slip into the 90s and beyond, so ahead of time with sounds. See my react now!

#enya #enyareaction #firsttimereactionenya #enya80s
Her songs are absolutely breathtaking!
Her music is so different from anything else,she's one of Irelands biggest artists selling over 80 million albums worldwide!
She composes all the music and sings vocals individually so it sounds like a choir, and plays all the instruments, super talented lady!
In Gaelic too. Pron. Gaylic the Irish one
I love Enya and I know being Irish I'm biased. My favourite song of hers is Caribbean Blue. May it Be makes me cry everytime I hear it. She's Irish and lives in a castle, living the fairytale
Fair enough though. Ireland has some of the greatest talent.
I’m from America, but I’ve also had a sweet spot for Enya’s music. It’s just masterful and she does most of the writing, music, and production herself. I was never a big U2 fan, so to me Enya is the best artist to come out of Ireland.
I'm Colombian, and I love Enya. Just wonderful music.
I can't even speak Irish, but I love attempting to sing along with Athair ar Neamh. I will say though that live she's only "fine". Not bad, but for her sound, she really does sound better with all the echo.
enya's only time is another classic that should be heard due to how soothing and calming it is
This is one of those timeless songs. Was good back in the day, still sounds good today.
She's the Celtic fairy-queen with an ethereal voice.
Yup, the band she was (is?) in is called Clannad, famous for ""Theme from Harry's Game" sampled by Chicane on "Saltwater"
@@marcovtjev Enya was part of Clannad for a short while during the 80s, but departed ways with them and has been a solo artist since then.
best description ever!
Love that description
Wow... he's gonna go down the Enya rabbit hole! 🐇 It's great journey!
She’s such a part of my childhood in the 90’s
I love Enya. She's like in her own world and time; all of her songs sound quite timeless.
Listening to Enya makes me feel as if I'm floating up in the clouds.
I loved your reaction so much Dereck to your first ever Enya song, thank you!!! The world was shook when "Orinoco Flow" was released, Enya was able to turn new age music that was emerging into a smash hit with her overlayed ethereal vocals and Celtic influenced instrumentation, my favourite part of the song is where it hushes with turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, up, adieu and then the drums kick in again for more sail away, sail away, sail away, sooooo good!!!
And while it was the first single off Watermark it was actually the last song to be recorded for the album, it had been shelved on and off and tinkered with for some time prior until they we're able to get it just right and was only selected to be a single after they had recorded it after it was planned to only ever be just an album track! And Watermark is one my favourite albums of the 80s, every song is a stunner!
And often when I go on long trips I listen to Enya on my headphones, her music makes me drift away and takes me to another world!
Yes!! I'm here for any and all Enya that you react to. Some favorites are Only Time, Caribbean Blue, Boadicea (no lyrics but the music is so haunting, it's been sampled by many artists). Anything from Enya is beautiful and good for the soul.
Next song from her has to be "Caribbean Blue." That's the song that truly showcases what kind of magic she can do with her voice.
Enya has stated that she wanted to use her voice as an instrument rather than plain vocals.
I adore Enyas music. She is so under appreciated. Please please react to Caribbean Blue.x
She's the queen in that kind of sound.I still rember what a buzz this one had made when released.'Caribbean Blue'/'Only time' next reactions would be some fine examples of her majestic skills.
Caribbean
@@michelelaraia7358 Damn me, i'l never learn my English properly lol,but since you noticed i corrected.Thanx.
@@alexioverdo5225 I'll report to you.
I like "Caribbean Blue".
Enya has a lot of classics.
Only Time, Storms in Africa, Book of Days, Anywhere is.
That’s my favourite too
Do Carribean Blue! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
Carribean blue, the memory of the trees, the Celts and Cursum Perficio are my top 4 Enya's songs
yeah it's like a song from heaven the instrumental is so magic
Enya music is magical
Watermark was a fantastic album. Overall it kept this classical, broad sometimes movie soundtrack kind of scale throughout. At the time was a bolt out of the blue as it sounded so much different to the charts then. As an artist myself the video sold me for this song, so beautiful.
J' ai connu Enya il y a 25 ans. J' ai adoré. Merci pour cette nouvelle vidéo
Absolutely love Enya. Discovered her music about 25 years ago. Huge fan still today. Love her!
Enya is part of the "New Age" genre. Along with Lorenna McKennit, Kitaro and Yanni to name a few.
I listen to Enya while reading Tolkien. Whether it's The Silmarillion or The Lord of the Rings, Enya's music literally feels fantastical. Sure brings you to another time and place. And another world.
Book of days, China Roses, Wild Child, How can I keep from singing, Echoes in rain, It`s in on the rain, Only time.... and many other hits that mus be listened for everyone!!
Exquisite song. I also love that Enya sorta feels like new age/World music now, but in 1988, this played nonstop on MTV, totally holding her own amongst the last of the Hair Bands…
This was a real different sound to what was around at the time. This was her first single and she has had many many hits but has never played live as she’s said that there hasn’t been enough technology around to get the correct feel and mix for the songs to give them a really forthright sound and beat too ….. it might change and as soon as she does there will be fights to see her live that’s for sure !!! Caribbean Blue, Storms In Africa (my fave track), Anywhere Is, Book Of Days and Only If are some you really should check out too !!
I love this song so much, she is so underrated
A lady of true class and dignity - as well as talent.
Her recent 2015 'Dark Sky Island' album was a superb return to form. 'Even In The Shadows' a brilliant song.
The Don Pelletier remixes of Enya classics are very much worth a listen too.
Her latest album DSI was very mediocre ...probably her weakest album...pretty boring, flat and predicable ....
I love Dark Sky Island! The bridge Even in the Shadows feels like the sky breaking and opening in front of you. The only criticism I have is that some of the instrumentals are a little derivative compared to the actual lyrical songs. But I love all of her albums, even And Winter Came; it's a staple for Christmas for me :)
@@freezingcocacola7201 Agreed. Not even a song in Irish! I don't know if she's gotten lazy or complacent, but DSI is a far cry from the magic that _Watermark_ was. Still beautiful, but not the same energy/creativity, and too "pop"-y.
The song that never stops giving
My father used to love Enya, we played this at his funeral.
love love love enya!! great songs and a wonderful voice..."amarantine" a fairy tale and so much wonderful celtic songs...love from france
The song is great, but the visuals in that video are what lift it up to truly high art.
I think her 80s-90s videos are pretty weird. I don't hate them, but I don't really like them either.
the number 1 on my day of birth!!!
Back in the days before easy digital editing too! The amount of work it took to layer all these tracks!
All instruments are played by Enya with a synthesizer (strings, piano) and all vocals are her own voice sometimes (reportedly) recording the same line 80 times!
That layering of vocals in different tones is not just extremely time consuming but also such slow, rich process of building and building.
Her producer Nicky Ryan is the mastermind behind that.
His wife and lyricist Roma Ryan is the poet making Enya’s music become visual dreams through words.
A fantastic trio. I’m a guy huge fan since age 11.
Check Caribbean Blue. My all time favorite.
The pizzicato strings are a preset on Roland D-50 synth named " Pizzicato" which I have,but there's a lot of processing and FX added because the patch sounds nothing like and I certainly cannot reproduce that fab sound
Enya comes from a big family of singers and musicians, her sister, brothers and uncles are members of the group Clannad, which is also a big deal in Irish music ('I will find you' is still one of my favourite)
Wonderful emotional reaction, Dereck. It's a joy to see you reacting to Enya, one of the most beautiful female artists alive. Also her voice is outstanding and unique.
Please keep on reacting to this wonderful artist! You ask for some recommendations for the original videos of Enya's songs, here are some:
- So I could find my way
- Only Time
- Only if
- Carribean Blue
- May it be
- Amarantine
- When the evening falls
- Wild Child
- Echoes in rain.
The original videos are ALL very beautiful made and show the magic of Enya. I think you will love each of them.
Enjoy and continue your journey with Enya and take us with you! 🫶
Enya used to be in the family band Clannad. Clannad is doing their Farewell Tour. Enya's sister, Moya Brennan, is just as talented (I think)! If you're a movie buff, you've heard of Clannad. They did the theme for Robin Hood tv show on BBC, and the theme songs/soundtracks for the movies "Message in a Bottle" (What will I do), "Last of the Mohicans" (I will find you). Definitely worth listening to!
Yes, he should react to Theme from Harry's Game.
Part of what she's great at is ending songs in a satisfying way, so that it's neat and not just something on a loop for eternity. I feel that this helps them be more complete
This song was on a commercial for Qantas I think and omg I was BLOWN AWAY the first time I heard it at age 11. Back then there was no internet so I had no idea who sang it or what it was called and no way to hear it except when the commercial came on. Thank God my aunty finally told me the name and I bought it on cassette ❤️❤️
Interesting fact, the Orinoco River is in Venezuela. Back in the day before the horrible things that happened in Venezuela,my husband and I lived there! He was working for a American company that had a contract in building a factory there. The hotel that were we living in was right next to this amazing river! Stunning and exotic! When this song came out,it brought back all the memories of when we were living there! I love this song, and feel a special connection with the song as well as the singer! I am Irish as well! She has that haunting, romantic,and melodic sound that touches you soul! Thank you for this,and thank you Enya,for making and singing this beautiful song that touched my soul!!!!!
More elvish and ethereal than the Next 255 seasons of certain show
Peter Jackson and Howard Shore wasn't wrong choosing those Three female voices in the trilogy
Enya...what a lady
huge Enya fan. Thank you!! More people should listen to her. If you like this, you'll definitely like Carribean Blue.
Caribbean Blue is fantastic too :-)
Wow, she is so beautiful. And this song is also.
Do her piece "Fallen Embers" -- fantastic vocals.
She started out in her family band Clannad and is a great singer :)
OMG - You've discovered Enya!
Track down her Christmas Album "And Winter Came"
It's the soundtrack to my December every year.
"One Toy Soldier" will raise a tear.
Queen if New age Enya !!!
Caribbean blue next song !!!!
Thanks for the upload Dereck, love from the land of Enya, Ireland xx
She was a New Age goddess in the late 1980s,1990s early 2000s. 😉
I’m very proud to be Irish as is Eyna❤
Enya is part of the Irish Group, Clannad who had a big hit with Robin Hood's theme in the early 80s and appeared as guest vocalist in Sinead O'Connor debut LP the Lion and the Cobra before she conquers the New Age Music and the rest of the World! The other artistes who multi layered their vocals worth mentioning are Kate Bush and Annie Lennox.
*was part
@@jovetj WAS not WAS
@@riccidcannonomousexy _“WAS not WAS”_
Huh?
Cocteau Twins, Iceblink Luck, because you're the match of Jericho that will burn this whole madhouse down.
Love her from a long time ago ❤
The video of Caribbean Blue is fantastic
A truly magical voice! Radio play of this magnificent song sent me searching for this album after hearing it on the radio. In 1998, CDs were very new and even at the big box stores, you could hardly find them. But my tech nerd parents had bought a player the size of a small suitcase and I was determined to hear this beautiful song in that new digital format. And I found it! I still have the disk, my very first CD.
1:44 There is this keyboard or guitar floating around and its soooo good
When I was a little boy I heard this it literally was nothing that I had heard of ! It shot up to #1 instantly .ASMR was born
💓💓💓I like" boadicea""May it be" and "aniron"
You're taking me right back to my childhood home, with surround sound in my basement in the '90s when I discovered Enya in high school. (Yes this was 1988 but I didn't discover her until 1995.) Enya is a genius, and her music shaped my gay self as a teenager. Caribbean Blue and Book Of Days are my two favorites but she has so many gems. One By One, The Memory of Trees, Boadicea, Cursum Perficio, Flora's Secret....this woman is just incredible.
IIRC she said that on the Watermark album there were hundreds of layered vocals of her...digital recording (quite new then) was a must.
Check out "Ebudæ" from her "Shepherd Moons" album.
I remember hearing this song from, I think, the Crystal Light commercials!!! Then, finally I heard someone playing it in college (~1994). Found out it was Enya!!!
Hello *Dereck,*
For my French compatriots, a few months ago, I offered a translation of the text of this song on the website *Lyrics Translate,* which is:
Le flux de l'Orénoque
Penons l'large, prenons l'large,
Laissons l'Orénoque (1) sage,
Nous atteindrons la plage
Sur les rives de Tripoli,
Penons l'large, prenons l'large,
Pour échouer sur ton rivage,
Laisse-moi atteindre la plage
Bien au delà des mers d'Asie.
Prenons l'large, prenons l'large, prenons l'large!
Prenons l'large, prenons l'large, prenons l'large!
Prenons l'large, prenons l'large, prenons l'large!
Prenons l'large, prenons l'large, prenons l'large!
De Bissau à Palau, bien à l'ombre d'Avalon,
De Fidji à Tirée jusqu'aux jolies îles d'Ébène,
Du Pérou à Cebu, sens la puissance de Babylone,
De Bali à Cali après la mer de Corail.
Hissez haut, hissez haut, hissez haut, haut, adieu
Hissez haut, hissez haut, hissez haut, haut, adieu
Hissez haut, hissez haut, hissez haut, haut, adieu
Prenons l'large, prenons l'large, prenons l'large
Prenons l'large, prenons l'large, prenons l'large
Prenons l'large, prenons l'large, prenons l'large
Prenons l'large, prenons l'large, prenons l'large
Depuis le Nord jusqu'au Sud,
Des Hébrides jusqu'à Khartoum,
Profonde mer de nuages
Berce l'Ile de la Lune,
Portons-nous sur les vagues
Jusqu'aux dunes jamais foulées,
Portons-nous sur les vagues
Aux lagunes jamais mirées.
Naviguons, naviguons, suivons l'flux de l'Orénoque,
Naviguons, naviguons,
Manœuvrons, approchons.
C'est Rob Dickins (2) à la barre,
On souffle pour dire au revoir
à Ross (3) et toutes ses liaisons
Naviguons, naviguons.
Prenons l'large, prenons l'large, prenons l'large
Prenons l'large, prenons l'large, prenons l'large
Prenons l'large, prenons l'large, prenons l'large
Prenons l'large, prenons l'large, prenons l'large
Peace, folks. ☮🤗
1. L'Orénoque, en espagnol "río Orinoco", est un fleuve du Venezuela et de Colombie, en Amérique du Sud.
2. Rob Dickins CBE (né en juillet 1950, East Ham, Londres) est un cadre de l'industrie musicale britannique qui occupe actuellement plusieurs postes d'administrateur et de consultant dans le domaine de la musique et des arts au Royaume-Uni. Dickins a commencé sa carrière dans l'industrie musicale chez Warner Music UK.
3. Ross Cullum a été répertorié comme l'ingénieur de l'album, et également un de ses coproducteurs avec Nicky Ryan et Enya. (Il est à noter qu'en réalité, M. Cullum était malade le jour de l'enregistrement de ce titre en particulier). "The Ross Dependency" est une région de l'Antarctique définie sur un secteur du pôle Sud. Il semble probable que la chanteuse n'ait tout simplement pas pu résister à l'envie de faire un petit jeu de mots fondé sur le nom de Ross Cullum, les causes réelles de son absence ce jour-là et cette notion de voyage au long cours, aux confins du globe, y compris dans ses régions et ses mers les plus hostiles. Sachant qu'en fait le but de la chanson est cette comparaison constante entre l'enregistrement d'un album, titre par titre, et un périple au long cours sur un voilier à braver les dangers de la navigation et de l'aventure. C'est un peu l'incroyable voyage de Magellan, mais en musique.
Merci 🙏
Awesome reaction
This was my first cd purchase.
Thank you.Really.Thank you.
80 million albums!!!
It was a Crystal Light commercial in the early 90’s that used this song and was also the first time I heard it.
CARIBBEAN BLUE next one please!
Amazing that Derek doesn't know. It was a worldwide hit, even in France this song is very well known.
Great react - she is from a musical family and used to perform with their band Clannad. This songs has over 400 over dubs…you were right about the depth of the vocal. Love China Roses, Memory of Trees, and many others but this is my favorite. Keep’em coming!
One of my favourite songs from all time. I can't understand why. The thing so called now flow may be.
I have that CD, it’s from 1990’s, it also has Enigma’s Return to Innocence, absolutely worth a listen.
Listen to The River Sings, volume up with headphones.
Hey I had that Pure Moods album. It was great. Had lots of different good stuff. That's where I first heard of Enya
Try "Only Time"....her other smash hit. Enya's a vibe.
My favourite Enya song is Evening Falls, it's absolutely magical ❤
May It be!!!!
All keyboard and her vocals are layered as many as 100 times
*500+ on some songs
Not enough music lovers are familiar with this talented lady. Sometimes I almost feel like humans don't deserve her magical creations, LOL. Her music's *so* good. Been a fan of hers since 1988. Favorite song she made was "Caribbean Blue" ... it's some kind of dreamy waltz that takes you somewhere marvelous for a few minutes. (Note: sometimes I have to listen to just the studio track of a song because the visuals can be distracting from the amazing stuff that my ears are receiving.)
Lot of harps playing, i love it ♥ i can feel the waves of the water while she sings Sail away
It's a synthesizer, but it's closer to pizzicato strings (e.g. plucked violins).
still my fave Enya song! Maybe check out her song Ebudae
Time to fall into the Enya rabbit hole.
Orinoco Flow was used in the movie Patriot Games.
this song is so mystical..so iconic
I think there was in excess of 100 layers of her vocals alone in this piece. And some people have the nerve to complain that it doesn't sound the same live, lol. How could it?
Enya spoke in Gaelic in the beginning of Sinead O'connor's song Never Get Old on her debut album The Lion And The Cobra.
React to her song Only Time please.
Yes!! That’s all
I suspect these Enya pieces wouldn't spring to most people's mind but I think you'd get a kick out of "How Can I Keep From Singing" and "Wild Child".
Fun to see Dereck trying to pause - but can't.
May it be ,One by One, China Roses, Hope Has a Place = these are my favorites of her
Il y a beaucoup de sons du synthétiseur Roland D-50 dans ce titre.
Preset patch "Pizzagogo". :-)
"Orinoco Flow" has been used in many movie soundtracks. Check out the Volvo commercial with Jean Claude Van Damme.
You should check out Lisa Gerrard’s music. Her music is so timeless too!
c'était vraiment original à l'époque quand je l'avais écouté le première fois.
Another one you should check out: Bono & Clannad with "In A Lifetime"
what you hear in every Enya song, is done by herself all the sounds, vocals, composition, harmonies, arrangenment, the only thing she doesnt do are the lyrics.
2 of my fav Enya songs: *Ebudae* and *Evening Falls* - add them to the list!
🎶💗🎶 This is who sued The fugee's for sampling her song "boadicea" for Ready or not without permition... Loooove Enya 💗🤗
Hі Dereсk, I'm 47, hello from Kyiv (Ukraine), listen to Cocteau Twins - Heaven Or Las Vegas - goosebumps too, I grew up on great music...Enya is great too
She is one of Aurora’s inspirations. Which makes me think you haven’t reacted to Aurora in ages!
