Hi,

I've ordered the Deluxe edition of Dark Sky Island.

Joyce

At the moment, that's the only edition I see at B & N.

Hi,

There is a 11 track album....the normal version...and a Deluxe edition with 3 bonustracks...a 14 track album.
What i see on Barnes and Noble....is a Vinyl LP version.

Well, I meant, that was the only CD version I saw. That was before the release date when I saw that, though.

Click on Enya's latest Facebook post for a really long and interesting interview!

Thanks for sharing! That was a very fascinating article.

Hello Libby!

I'm pleased you enjoyed it. You can read another exclusive interview via this Facebook post:

I always thought Enya was a recluse, but now she's given an interview on BBC Breakfast!

I only got around to reading the BUZZFEED Interview by Anne Helen Petersen today.


If you skip to the last two paragraphs you will find the essence of the article, what the music is about.

Interesting but slightly cynical point of view at times by Anne Helen Petersen, but I would say that because I have lived among people from Donegal where there was music for centuries before electricity came along on cables to banish the darkness (as children we were sent there for a couple of months every year)

I got the feeling Fiona Pears understood the nature of the area and the music better when she returned from there.

Well, Richard, I gathered from the BBC interview that she isn't truly a recluse, she just seems that way. Even the 1st article explains that despite the stalker episodes, she wasn't really all that bothered by them. Of course, she wants to remain secure in her castle, nobody can blame her for that. But I don't think she is truly a recluse. At least, not personality-wise. Obviously if she manages to encounter Bono sometimes when she goes out, then she's not. LOL

That clip they showed of Echoes in Rain looked like part of another music video... [edit] and, it is! The full video can be found within the 2nd article Richard posted. And I found I enjoyed the song better being able to see her sing it, rather than lyrics being displayed rhythmically. It is catchy.

Oh, I really hope she does a tour. A world tour. And I imagine it will be very expensive, but just think, it's probably the only time you'll see her live. After all this time of her not touring at all, you've actually saved lots of money, so just splurge!!

Enya has posted another video on Facebook, talking about "The Humming":

Marty Whelan on RTE Lyric FM has Dark Sky Island as a Marty Recommends this week, although I don't see it listed on the website.

He has played The Humming which is very similar to Boadicea from Enya's first album The Celts which was one of my favourite tracks from that album.

Got a DeLuxe Edition in our local Golden Discs record shop in Dublin,

Couldn't resist Ellie Goulding's Delirium and Adele 25 and Cilla....

Here's the music video of Echoes in Rain I found in that article:

[Richard]

Thanks Libby!

It's a good quality HD video, so I've made it larger in your post.

Enya has been on Songs of Praise for an interview and performance of So I Could Find My Way. I'm not sure when it airs, though.

Here's Enya performing at the Echo 2016, which I think is an awards show in Germany, but not entirely sure. This proves she should totally do a tour! I hope she does, because I really want to go!
