I felt compelled to write a quick post about this because I am ecstatic about the announcement of the new album by Enya, Dark Sky Island.

I loved Enya’s music from the first moment it hit my ears. The first song I ever heard was, “Orinoco Flow” when I was in elementary school. I soon fell in love with the entire album Watermark around middle school. As stated in a previous post on how music fuels my writing, Enya has always been the go to music for me when I write. Of course I listen to all kinds of music when I write depending on the story, but Enya’s music allows me to go into a really deep trance and focus on what I am trying to accomplish.

I wanted to point out that I predict “Echoes In Rain” is going to be a huge hit and will be a song the mass general public, beyond Enya fans, is going to know well. I just got a really strong feeling about this one!

I saw the video for the first time when it was at 3,500 views on YouTube (yes, I’m a fan girl). At the time of this writing the song has 276,000 views on YouTube. It may seem small compared to other videos that go viral, but one thing about Enya’s music is it is timeless. It’s not going away. Someday I know I’ll go back to “Echoes In Rain” on YouTube and see 4 million views on it.

The entire album, Dark Sky Island will be released November 20th, 2015. It can be pre-ordered on iTunes and Amazon. (Disclaimer: I do not have any affiliation with Enya, nor do I receive any affiliate revenue from these links.)

 

So without further ado here is my new favorite song by Enya: “Echoes In Rain”
