My husband and i use to listen to this album as we fell asleep. He died young. It will b 20yrs in November...this past month ive been thinking about him a lot...this album is pure magic brings me back to our farm house at night.
Rip.
Awww blessings to you dear lady
This brought tears to my eyes … Enya got me through my darkest days.
Many more blessings to you.
So very sorry for your loss. My heart aches with yours. I understand. Too well. 😭
My mother was a fantastic pianist who played all of Enyas music on the piano , she died at the young age of 65 on the 20th Dec 2023 - I found lots of her piano music and it brought it all back to me . Your a healing force in my grief Enya I thank you and my mother Rhian would aswel x x x
😭🙏
💔❤️🙏
I would have loved to hear that. Your mother sure had a beautiful name. I'm glad Enya gives you comfort. Take care.
I'm from Colombia and I suffered a lot as a kid, this music healed my soul. I still listen to it. How wonderful!
Hola amigo Como ta por alli?❤❤❤😊 Saludo desde Puerto Ricooooo!❤❤❤❤❤🎉
I suffered as a child as well. When I absolutely cannot cope anymore I listen to her and she calms me.
I listened to this album every time I drove away from the hospital where my wife was dying of cancer. The tears in my eyes were nothing, but the music calmed me. It has taken me 30+ years to listen again. Beautiful and calming music.
There is no higher purpose to music than what this has done for you. Your sharing helps others. Thank you. I hope you are able to live with the grief now - with Enya's help.
Take a look at the Joe Tippen protocol also fasting and Ivermectin..
You'll annihilate cancer
her music is painrelief shepherd moons was that for me as a single mm with chronic fatigue
I am now 67 but started to listen to Enya and Clannad so many moons ago. This music takes me back to good and bad times.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
This music helped me cope with a very traumatic childhood. I listened to it throughout my adolescence and am back now as I work to heal some of the pain I experienced then. It’s still as beautiful and moving as ever.
This album was such a large part of my night time routine as a child. I now play this for my two children as they fall asleep. (It's a very surreal experience for me.) 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. This album will forever be a staple in my household. 💚
Sounds like me :)
I first discovered this album in college. After a stressful day of studying and work I would listen to this and take a nap :). Later in life, I now find this album as my "PEACE"
I couldn't agree with you more. I have been listening to this musical goddess since I was a teenager and I am in my late 30s now..one of Enya's albm Dark Sky Island has even helped me cope with the loss of my father and is so sentimental and significant to me
@@kerryanne7965 same started at 11 ? 41 now and everyone in the last 30 yrs associates enya with me 😛
Amazing ❤️
I am a kid from the 80s and it has made me remember how listening to WATERMARK on the cassette made me fly through the Celtic lands. Enya's voice is heavenly.
I remember my ugly home town becoming beautiful as I listened to this cassete in the car with my family... pure magic.
Deeply mystical music indeed.
The cassette that introduced me to Enya was Shepherd Moons. I played it til I frayed it, and got my hands on everything else by her.
Me too man, i still remembered the 90s when play enya MC cassettes.
i agree that "fly" is the keyword. one flies from the Emerald shores over the wild Atlantic, but in full soul control
Just listening to Enya’s songs makes I forget about the trouble and annoyances of this transient world
ENYA is better than any doctor. I suffer from severe depressions but when I listen to ENYA´S MUSIC I feel really relaxed at least for a certain time.. ENYA I LOVE YOU.
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:)
I do as well. I listen to her when I'm about to do something stupid and she saves my life every time.
My brother in law passed in 93 of MND..he used to put the headphones on in his last years of his life and crank Enya and other artists up and escape reality..I play this now and imagine him floating away..why do the good die young ..................................
So beautifully put......
The Beatles are the Beatles. The Bee Gees are the Bee Gees. Linda Ronstadt is Linda Ronstadt
But, my life is divided before Watermark and after Watermark. That's how this album influenced my life ❤️🌟
I listened to this album every night for a year after particularly traumatic episodes in my life..even now 30 years later I turn to it to find peace .. extraordinary music and voice
Watermark was the first of Enya's albums I've ever owned. Enya, may you keep entertaining the world with your peaceful beautiful music.
Her perfect voice too
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.
I 💯 agree with you
I agree with you
I too found Enya through Watermark, such an angelic voice and spirit that moves through me. Thank you Enya!!!
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~
Thank you for sharing that.
Ah...that was a bit of magic that you just shared with us. How wonderful!
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.❤
I introduced Enya to my 23 year old son this weekend. He loved it. We listened to the album together in the car. It’s on his playlist now! I remember listening to Enya’s beautiful music over and over. It’s the real deal. Thank you Enya

I had just visited my mom in hospice that morning and this song (Watermark) was playing on the TV in her room. Not thinking anything of it, but by late afternoon of that same day, I was on line surfing the net at home and this song again was playing in the background. It was then I got a call from the hospice nurse saying that my mom had passed. That was in 2018. Still hard for me to listen to this track but it was a beautiful send off for my mom if her passing needed a theme song .
Amazing ! I think that's one of the Lord's ways of speaking to you , there's nothing more imporant the undying Life into Eternity.Seek Him while he may be found ... in Love.
Robert thank you for this….may she now Rest In Peace. 💐💐
@@sponsler Thank you!
@@ConstellationCommunication Thank you!
That sounds hard, I hope you can find healing to where the song becomes a sweet connection in your memory rather than aching sadness. My mom passed last year, and she's the one who introduced me to Enya and encouraged/supported me to listen to her at night.
Last night/this morning marks the year...
this album was a lifeline for me when my marriage broke up and I was left with two little girls to bring up on my own. Enya's musical compositions helped heal the heartache.
Same
@@maryannallen1519 hope you are both ok now. Hugs :)
How can a men abandonned a wife and two little girls 😪 That sounds like an heart breaking situation. I hope you feel better where you live now 💟
@@Denso59they have reasons between them both, most men dont just abandon their children
always 2 sides to a story but I agree hard@@Denso59
My husband died March 1st, 2021... Enya s music gives me such comfort and and solace...keep singing, our songbird! We love you!
I own a number of Enya CDs, but I think this one may be the best. Just a seamless masterpiece from beginning to end. Thank you, Enya, for many hours of enjoying your music.
I also own a lot of Enya CD's - so difficult to choose a favourite as I love them all - such beauty . As you said - thank you Enya
Yeah, one heck of a sweet album.
I have Watermark as only one.
Agreed but her voice is getting better in other album imo
For me its both this and The Celts. Its hard for me to seperate both
Enya - A world like no other ❤ I was 18 then. I am now 50. Where has the time gone. ?
I was 15 in 1988 when I first heard of her music! I am now almost 49.
I just turned 70 (Dec.28) and I've really been thinking about that a lot. In a way that I didn't think in my 50s and 60s, not fun nor fond of 70s.
Ditto. I agree!
look behind you
It's still with US! 😃
I would fall asleep to this voice as a small child. 30 years later i still do
Me too
Exactly the same for me, 33 years later tho. Also Dead can dance, Aion album.
William Chitwood - I can relate to your comment - such a beautiful calming voice - stress free . Love it all
as i do as an old man.
Me too!!
I listen to Enya's music to reduce my sudden anxiety attack. Watermark is one of the most calming music ever according to scientists.
Agree
BOO!
And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow
If you are here you know a thing or two about music
😊Truly, duly, indubitably. 🤗
@@DamianoftheRyans Absolutely
After listening to this album, I joined millions of Enya's fans, simply brilliant music ❤ Ireland's special lady !
_Cursum Perficio_ is one of the best masterpieces Enya has brought.
"Cursum" gives me a vision of war between Angels and demons.
I entirely agree with you!
I totally agree!
It is. Takes me back to some parallel life where I am a warrior. The long ships as well. Pure magick😇😚
My eldest sister introduced me to this album; we played it during the final hours of my young son's life. The peace and calm of her voice and music, helped a heartbreaking experience have grace. it has taken me years to listen to this again without reliving the pain of his death. I find comfort knowing this is the music he was listening to when he left this world and entered heaven.
Dios...I'm so sorry for your lost!
May the Spirit bless his soul.
God.I feel for you.Hope you find some kind of peace.God bless.❤❤❤❤❤
that is beautiful
Sorry for your loss. May his memory be a blessing ❤
Some things are unbearable to contemplate, this is one of them, I feel your loss.
My favorite of all of hers. Whole album is wonderful. I played it in the car all the time on a cassette tape.
Loved her when I was introduced to
Her beautiful voice in my early 30’s I’m 61 now, she sings like an Angel!! Always will be a part of me and my most peaceful moments of relaxation,
Some of her Christmas music REALLY hits that angelic sound like a crystal bell
Escuchar a Enya es como añorar un lugar en el que nunca has estado.
Yeah very nostalgic for me. My mother played this a lot all of her stuff when I was young. But my mother sadly died of covid on December 14th 2021 approximately 10:30 p.m. now I'm left with remnants and tones to remind me of her thank you for posting this I'm enjoying it.
I'm sorry for your loss.
I m so sorry. I m sad because many people don t take pandemic seriously, even mock sick and dying people. I wish them to feel some pain and learn about compassion. Find comfort in enya s lovely music, my friend.
@@ninak1976 A book worth considering is The Compassionate Mind by Paul Gilbert. Helping to show that there can be Such a Thing as Society
The best musik f m.heart , thank you so much , ENYA❤
Had forgotten how beautiful this music is!!
Not forgotten anyway!
This Album helped me through my depression as a child.
this album ment everything to my father when he was raising my 3 year old self all alone, after having put my mother in a mental hospital and having lost his job due to stroke and double heartatack because of his sadness about his marriage falling apart. he died in 2016 aged 62 years old, I forever think of him and my childhood house that we had to sell after the divorce, this was his favorite album but he loved all her music and would say that if he could marry any woman it be enya
I'm so sorry you had to go through all this, I hope your dad is in a good place.
Christ's peace be unto all who desire it.
Enya’s music is the soundtrack to my life
I bought this cd when I was going through a divorce as it helped me to fall asleep at night. Love it still
Enya‘s song is out of this world.
It's like my soul is being sucked away
The comfort and wonderfulness of Watermark are unfathomable, immeasurable and off the charts.
I come from a background of listening to punk rock, thrash metal, but my much mocked appreciation of Yanni, led me to explore similar avenues and led me to this absolute work of beauty, I am awestruck, not since hearing Kate Bush many years ago have I been this enthralled, I have always had a huge love appreciation for progressive rock too like Jethro Tull, Yes and Genesis as well, my contrasting tastes sometimes have led to mockery but I don't care, beautiful music can really cross boundaries and touch people unexpectedly of all musical tastes, this melts the seasoned heart of a punk rocker haha
Are you me? :D Maybe not punk but metal was my gateway to music yet I was always drawn to the concerts and soundscapes of Yanni, Enya, Loreena McKennitt, Vangelis... much to the astonishment of most of my rocker friends. But this kind of music is just so cinematic, I feel like hearing a story
I get it's not "edgy" or "jazzy" but this kind of music has a very strong narrative with a sense of longing
@@topilepojarvicomposer6157 yeah Yanni's music definitely has an emotional story quality to it, I wish someone would enlist him to make a video game soundtrack I think he could do great at it
@@cheapenstein he might have fallen a bit behind the times. Analog synthesizers are in but last I heard a Yanni album he was recording with digital keyboards. 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?
Same mate. Have this on vinyl in among my mainly death/thrash vinyl. Vinyl has always been the best sound! World Downfall my fave album!
Dude, the artistically compromised and otherwise void slop that criticize or mock concerning true music and the tastes thereof aren't to be regarded! I am a metal musician, but I love Enya and all music that possesses depth and beauty. Frequency is why we see, hear; it gives us being and meaning... it surrounds us and is to be experienced and expressed to the glory of The Maker. 🤗
I did life drawing to this music at Concordia University, a very inspirational piece.
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 still remember very vividly being young in 1988 and listening Orinoco Flow on the radio. As many other venezuelans did I wondered when did this irish girl visit the mighty Orinoco?
The most powerful music and rhythm which i ever listened to in my life. Its so magical for ours brains and so spiritual for the heart and mind . So be my guest and heal yours soul from sadness and sorrow and pains in this sad time and lonely moment wich go into it at present time. The world we live in. Its become like a horror movie may this kind of music become our compes for our vision and to see things more clearly in our daily life and be for each others and love every spirit in this world and having peace for all of us.
I dedicate this to my momma who suffered for so long and she died at the age of 53yr. She's one of God's angels 🌹 💐 🏵 🥀 😇 miss you and love you Forever my Best Friend 👌 Amen 🙏
🙏😇💚💐🌈🎈🪄🍶👑💖🍀💡🌟🔦🐚🗽🪨🦾🎵🚀☮️🙏
I'm an 80s kid and I didn't know how much of my childhood was going rush back to me while listening to this album. To say that this music had power is a gross understatement.
I am both thankful and sad at the discovery of this video.
Still the best album of Enya. I hear it for more than 30 years and it's still as fresh and timeless as in the nineties.
My mom once played this for us when we were sick in bed as kids. I used to ask for it every time I was sick after that. It helped me sleep and get well.
Enya's music helps me see the bright side of... everything.
I listened to Enya without knowing her in a mushroom trip when i was 6 years old. Her voice with that green uou see in psylocibyn mushrooms, was way too amazing
Most definitely with you on that one. Enjas music gives me peace and contentment.
Storms in Africa is *so* beautiful, mind-bogglingly perfect to listen during a safari in Africa.
... especially in Namibia!
This album recalls a special time in my life, with a special girl. Wherever she is now, we will always have Watermark.
@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.
When I was 20 years old I decided I wanted to learn to play the piano. I didn't know ANYTHING about music - I just knew I wanted to play the piano. 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.
I bought this originally when it was on cassette tape! I have the CD now and another one of hers. I really like the music. It's very different. The use of instrumentation along with her voice!!!!!
I was in Cases Cove with my wife and kids and we kept listening to this tape the entire trip. Both were extremely peaceful. Everytime we hear one of these songs we remember that time and it was 32 years ago
Bought this album and shepherd moons over thirty year ago, still gives me joy to listen to them.
This album brings peace and serenity into our lives at a time when both things are in massively short supply. Enya has an amazing voice.
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.
It's never about the length of time is it, it's the impact of that time. One lives conscious of its loss ever after, especially the older one gets.

Such an amazing album.
She was the great composer of the Sacred, Hildegard Von Bingen. She still embodies perfect Beauty and uplifts our hearts with her mystical & magical Celtic musings in sound. She is the best and my favorite of all contemporary composer/performers; brilliant!!! ❤️
I listened to this álbum as a teenager in a juvenile jail cell it changed my life i love her music its Just a wonderful diferentes World for me i want to get young ones in the urban neighborhoods to hear this and love it as i do.
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. 💛
I learned Gaelic because of Enya's music and probably specifically because of this album. Moran Taing, a Charaidean, tha gradh agam ort!

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.
Almost 30 years still as amazing as the first time I heard this album. This album is easily rated alongside Pink Floyd’s greatest album’s. Thank you for such an amazing group of masterpieces.
Add Tubular Bells to that list as a close 3rd?
I remember the first time I heard this. At Tower records when I walked in the door - yes Tower records with my wife, sadly gone now. I played it every day in my bookstore, customers loved it. That's gone now also - I'm 74 now (retired) I'd forgotten how this made me feel~
Magical 💫
We circled Oahu!! listening to this album on our 25 th wedding anniversary, we circled it again listening to it on our 50 th!!!! Still so in Love
This album is Hawaii for me too ❤️
I had a roommate during my time in service that kept this on loop in our barracks room back in the late 80's. I still listen to it today. Absolutely beautiful!
Searching for Watermark today, and finding it WAY down down the long list of Enya's albums . . . and the first thing I see in comments mirrors L.C. Sheffield's comment below. My grandson was 10 months old when I traveled with my daughter from Maryland to Iowa by car, and I'd brought along my cassette tape of Watermark. He consciously latched on to the music and fell in toddler love with it. I don't know how long this lasted, but it was a few years (2? 3? whatever?) that THIS was what he went to sleep to 'every night' -- whatever--but you know what I mean. (I'd given a copy of it to my daughter and she continued using it.) At a point when he got 'more mature', he decided he'd had enough of that and put his foot down--NO MORE! I doubt he remembers this, but my daughter and I sure have sweet memories of Taren and the music of Enya's "Watermark".
As for myself, this must have come out in 1989 because I was getting into a Great Lakes maritime lifestyle both personally and as a Great Lakes freighter artist and photographer achieving note over time for my huge body of career art and photo work. That year I took my first trip aboard a Great Lakes freighter, the old SS Henry Steinbrenner, hauling grain from our port of Superior, Wisconsin, to Cleveland and Buffalo NY grain elevators. By that time Henry had sailed since its 1896 (as I recall--I'm fairly certain that's the year) launch. It would be scrapped in 1994, and across other freighter rides I followed it with my camera in detail from 1989 all the way to the scrapyard in Port Maitland, Ont. Can. in 1994. At that time it had been half devoured already and was scarred by an accidental fire that had done a job on the pilot house. Just as an aside there was a Rottweiler guard dog protecting Henry from tresspassers on the scrapyard's property, but I managed to find vantage points where I could archive my last photos of the venerable SS Henry Steinbrenner. How I got there in 1994 was a ride on another old historic freighter from the same company, Kinsman Lines Inc. We'd arrived in Buffalo to unload grain when one of the crew, who knew of my history with Henry, asked if I wanted to go see her. I was SHOCKED! I knew she was in Port Maitland being scrapped, but to me that was "in Canada!" Getting there never would have occurred to me! Turned out it was a very possible car ride from Buffalo to see the last of Henry, to my sorrow. But to my JOY! Believe me, I was also STILL listening to Watermark on this journey again across three Great Lakes!!! I've always been so grateful to the gift that crewman gave to me by taking me there!
Going back to my very first trip on Henry in May, 1989, I had my Watermark cassette tape with me and listened to it every night when I lay in my bed as we rocked and rolled and gently cradled our way across the mighty waters of Great Lakes Superior, Huron and Erie to Buffalo, New York. I cannot even begin to translate to readers of these words on paper how deep into my soul and spirit that music penetrated into my psyche and heart. Everytime I hear this music I can still see in my mind and FEEL there what I felt in my historic room as a guest of the captain and his wife on that historic ship. Here on the Lakes . . . we call them . . . "the Boats". And we love them SO MUCH!!!
If you'll excuse me now, I've got to go up to my studio and finish up another painting of another mighty Great Lakes freighter we all here on the Lakes love so much . . . the Edmund Fitzgerald. Thank you for a place for me to share my precious memories with you. Doris Sampson, Duluth MN. (I'm online.)
Love the story I'm an artist and a musician and I have land in Alpena Michigan I live in California and miss the great lakes very much ....
The longships has such thundering low-end it is a work of genious. very rare album.
I can’t believe her voice,enya songs like an angel
You can only hope Moggy Doggy that Enya songs are played in your version of hell.
Been a fan of Enya since 1988. I have all her tapes and cd's. Her music reminds me of a Autumn breeze. I love her music so much! Been a fan since I was 15 in 1988.
Enya is number 1 Forever.
Such dreamy, beautiful, loveliness from a tender, sweet heart. Enya is an artist of exceptional talent.
Well said..
Best album ever to help the the kids get to sleep .
God I love Enya. I'm always gonna be grateful for my mom for listening to her when I was a child.
How old are you now
25.
@Beatriz Jardim It's been a pleasure meeting you for a lifetime
where are you from

@Beatriz Jardim Nice to meet you and I hope we can be friends Do you accept that
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.
I'm not that far behind you. Mid 40's here..
Her first solo album was released in 1987. She was in Clannad in 1980 on keyboard and sang backing vocals. Enya's sister Moya was lead vocalist in Clannad.
Memories 30 years ago of my parents and Godmother, her husband and all their friends laughing, chatting with this album playing in the background at their dinner parties while I drifted off to sleep in the bedroom. My dad, Godmother, her husband and several of their friends have passed away now. Surreal listening to this now as it feels like yesterday and it takes me back.
It's not hyperbole to feel like Enya is a gift from God -- a breath of peace in an otherwise hostile world. Now more than ever I need to hear her soothing voice and angelic compositions and arrangements.
Yes.
Enya was the only way my neurodivergent brain could calm down and breathe. Enya was instrumental in my still being here, and I will always hold reverence in my heart for her.
Dona pace
Have you ever heard such a beautiful introduction an piano piece as this?
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?
LOVE THIS album.
A pensioner now in my 70's this was played at my very first "New Age" evening at the start of my Awakening I suppose way, back when music "Robin the Hooded man" with Clannad was still popular,. 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. Thank you...... for enlightening musical inspiration.
i'm only 15 years old but this album is so special to me
my mom had a cd of it and when i was like 6 years old i would sneak over to my cd player and listen to it as i fell asleep and just come up with crazy, beautiful scenarios in my head with the songs in the background
or just dance to it in front of my mirror, especially the 2 africa ones hahaha
My first time to hear you sing took 78 years ... I am still numb from emotions of hearing an angel singing solo from the choirs of heaven which sang to Joseph and Mary on the night of Jesus birth ... thank you for your service.
Peaceful beautiful music. Such an amazing album.
14:40 Exile: one of the best ambient songs ever made.
A terrible , tormenting and beautiful song for the soul… exiles
@@federicarossi5406 Interesting, cause I don't see it as terrible; it's simply sentimental to me.
25 years ago in China I bought this album, tape, 1.5 dollars, today I think of Enya again, I still love her.
Helped me so very much: living in one of the most dangerous cities on the planet - Johannesburg, specifically Hillbrow - a long time ago, another life, - keeping me sane in the midst of the horror and loneliness.
Listening to the beautiful sounds of Enya always reminds me of my dad...i gave him this album to listen to when he became unwell ❤️💔🌹🌹
This album is healing. If you're not feeling well, just play it, and notice the difference 43 minutes later. Enya, you have healed my pain over and over again. No other musician has renewed me life you have. I am so grateful for the blessing that is your work, the blessing that is your life. God bless you always, sweet soul.
Enya - Watermark (full album) The Soundtrack Of My Life...very calming, lovely, touching the senses of one's heart, thoughts, hopes & dreams. I love this.
Love this album and music artist . Her voice is so hypnotic.❤️ I remember buying this cassette when it came out .
I bought the cassette tape too. I have the CD now.
I fell asleep when I heard it
Enya its Theresa here your music its very relaxing and inspiring and it reminds me of you I feel like I'm relaxing when I listen to your music thankyou from the bottom of my heart always and forever for you enya
The first time I got interested in Enya was when I saw The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring in theaters back in December 2001. It included two songs from her, Aniron and May It Be. The two albums I owned on cassette are Watermark and Shepherds Moon.
Still got her 4 albums on cassette Watermark, Memory of Trees, Shepherds Moon and Celts and old CD with best of Anya songs.
This woman has soothed me with her music through many of bad days from work. Thankyou very much Eithne Padraigin Ni Braonain
Cette artiste est un immense cadeau qui nous est offert. Je ne peux pas expliquer pourquoi elle m'émeut autant. Merci Madame
el englisho siro pleaseo
First time I have listened to Enya in years. My beautiful sister introduced me to this music. When she lay dying in the hospital , I sent Enya's music to her daughter who was by her side. I told her that her mother loved this music. My sister said to tell me 'Thank you for the music.' The last communication with my angel sister. Thank you, Enya, for the music. After years of heartbreaking loss, I can now listen again with my healing heart.
Evening Falls and Storms in Africa are two of my favorite songs on this album. They bring back good memories of the early 2000's or whenever this came out.
This album and Sheppard Moon bring me back to a distant past... my country is gone and my life isn't what I thought it was. What a fake world we live in...
Stay free 🙏❤🇺🇲
Just an angelic voice can produce those sublime melodies: Enya.
Enya's music is the best ASMR!
