Weird, given how relaxing Enya’s music is and how normally it’s very soothing to me. 😀 Perhaps I have some bad associations with it that I don’t realise, which is very possible, in any case, for some reason it makes my sensory anxiety come up. But “Orinoco Flow”, despite my brave attempts to like it, remains the only song of Enya’s that I do not like, and almost hate. In fact, at the beginning I thought I disliked all of her music, it had to grow on me and it did very suddenly. It was played a lot and is still one of the most recognisable songs by Enya, I believe, and I knew it way before I started loving Enya and discovering her music.
Curiously however, “Orinoco Flow” is the only song of hers that I really, really don’t like, as much as I love all her other songs and compositions. – If you know me and my blog at least a bit, you probably already know Enya has been one of my major music crushes over the years. O repertório vai desde canções tradicionais célticas até música moderna. The song was originally song and composed by ENya and appeared on one of her earliest albums back in the eighties – “Watermark”. Celtic Woman é um grupo de música formado atualmente por quatro artistas irlandesas: as vocalistas Emma Warren, Hannah Traynor, Muirgen O’Mahony e a violinista Tara McNeill. It comes back from the times when they had their good old line-up, with Lisa Kelly, Meav and such, I liked them best at that time in the history of the band, though I still do like them a lot. I’ve recently seen that they released something new, including a newer version of “Orinoco Flow” that they also sang before, but I decided I like the older version more and will show it to you. The song also contains the line We can sigh, say goodbye/Ross and his dependencies, a poke at co-producer Ross Cullum (Paul McCartney, Robert Plant) as a location, the Ross Dependency is actually a New Zealand-claimed region of Antarctica.Celtic Woman are one of my most favourite Irish/Celtic groups, yet I’ve only shared one song with you so far. The song’s title comes from the name of the London studio where it was recorded, though it’s also the name of a 1,400-mile river in South America.Īnd the lyric contains a little tongue-in-cheek fun with the line We can steer, we can near/with Rob Dickins at the wheel, a nod to the Warner/Elektra/Asylum executive who was the executive producer of Watermark, and since 2002 has been known as Rob Dickins CBE (Commander of the Order of the British Empire). The song is a global geography lesson, and name-checks over a dozen locations to “sail away” to: From Bissau to Palau, in the shade of Avalon/From Fiji to Tiree and the Isles of Ebony/From Peru to Cebu hear the power of Babylon/From Bali to Cali, far beneath the Coral Sea, and so on. But the prosody is perfect, with the lyrical intent matching the overall feel of the production beautifully. It’s basically a piece about wanting to leave it all behind and sail away to various ports of the world. The vocals and production are what’s important here, the lyrics maybe less so if this were just performed as an acoustic song, the melody would certainly be arresting, but lyrically, the song isn’t all that deep in its motives. Vicki from Kissimmee, FlI love the Celtic Woman version of this song it is one of the best out there Elson from Los Angeles, CaThis song is just about the. Enya broke through with “Orinoco Flow” and its dreamy, ethereal Celtic attitude with an unforgettable sound that some listeners loved, and some critics loved to trash. The three are responsible for eight highly successful albums so far. It represents the trio of people who have made her sound and success possible: the artist herself, her manager/producer/arranger Nicky Ryan, and Ryan’s wife, poet Roma Ryan, who writes the lyrics. “Enya” is the most pronounceable version of the singer’s real name, but the name is more than only that. “Orinoco Flow,” sometimes known as “Orinoco Flow (Sail Away),” helped make her a household name in the genre of new age music, though Enya herself reportedly has never been fond of the “new age” label.

Watermark has sold over 11,000,000 copies (depending on whose numbers you believe), and has been reissued three times. alone, an amazing feat considering that she doesn’t undertake a live tour for each new album.
