I still find it unbelievable! After all these years! I could not be happier. Enya’s music has been a great part of my life, so knowing that she is coming back from the shadows is fantastic news. My day is brighter and more cheerful now. Eagerly waiting for the official announcement! I am sure this album will be as fantastic as every other, and I would not mind nods to the past and some songs in a similar style to her early work (The Memory of Trees especially).
Anyway, the time has come! And all is dust, remember this…
It’s unbelievable. I waited so his new album. I listen loop that little piece of the new song. Enya thank you for giving us finally prepared your new album. It’s for when???
I was so very excited to see all of this. The soundclip is just so soothing! Glad to see Enya.sk is still active and after all these years I kept on following it all :)
The world is a crazy place – with the Syrian refugee crisis, American politics in a crazed state : we, collectively, as a universe in need of healing – need new Enya music.
This is truly terrific news!!
Just this morning on my way to work I grabbed three albums (Amarantine, The Celts and ADWR).
It has been such an awfully long wait since 2008 – my goodness.
Snippet – hmmmm – way too little to tell what’s coming, but somehow I sense a slightly new direction (or some surprises). However, I can’t wait to sit down, put my headphones on and listen straight through to the last song – uninterrupted.
I do hope though that instrumentally there are a few changes.
ADWR was the first heavy “stringed” album – which was great, as it was the first in a series of albums. However, by the time And Winter Came – I was a bit over it.
Still – I can hardly contain myself.
Thank you Enya, Nicky and Roma – it’s such an honour.
….and while I am at it, please allow me one more indulgence.
After this extremely long wait, I am SUPER curious about the title, and the album cover (and obviously the songs) because in all this time, as a musician, there is a lot that happens in terms of inspiration, thoughts, feelings and experiences which can influence the music. Correct me if I am wrong, but would this be the longest break in between albums? (taking account of the fact that an album takes 2 – 3 years to make) So – I think everyone would understand why I am really curious to hear what Enya has done this time around.
About the title:
Well, with the exception of three albums (the celts, watermark and amarantine), the rest all had something about nature in them. Rain, stars, moon, trees, winter. Will we perhaps see a non-nature related title (listening to the clip – I doubt it). But – let’s see.
Then, about the cover design in terms of overall colour scheme:
> The Celts – difficult to describe, but I’d say = MAROON / FADED ROSE
> Watermark = RED/GOLD
> Shepherd Moons – undoubtedly the theme here is BLUE
> The Memory of Trees, predominantly = YELLOW/YELLOW OCHRE
> A day without rain – again difficult, but somehow the album cover as a whole has a greenish/turquoise feel/filter
> Amarantine = RED/BLACK/WHITE
> And winter came = WHITE
So – what is it going to be….? (Excitement!)
One thing I am 99.9% sure about- as she’s always done, I expect a stylish, elegant posed portrait photo of her on the cover, an opening track which is an instrumental, the 2nd or 3rd track on the album will be a single and signature track for which a music video will be made…(all of this based on previous observations)….or……..
Doesn’t the curiosity just haunt you??
What do you think?
To me it feels like a decade since an “Enya” album was released, by that I mean a traditional non-seasonal album. The new song snippet came as a surprise which is always welcome. I’d almost given up on the Trio, it seemed like never ending nothingness for too long, not even a squeak so to speak. The new song sounds rich in sound, reminds me of the same great sound quality of shepherd moons and Amarantine, Memory of Trees. I was disappointed in And Winter Cames “sound”. So yes a good surprise. The song itself I find beautifully negative and the music the hypnotic arpeggios as they do so well. I am happy they are venturing into the beautiful dark with lyrics, it’s about time we felt more of that. So much has happened in 10 years so it’s a welcome surprise.
This is UNBELIVEABLE !! After 7 years ! I am 24, I love Enya since approximately 14 years, I cant’ belive it !!! Finally she comes again, ENYA !!!!!!!!
I can wait for some times more now after this wonderful announce !
We have been waiting for so long. That was the most unexpected 23 seconds of my life. I can’t wait for the new album. Enya’s music is amazing, so spiritual and different from anything we call music nowadays. Thank you Enya for giving us strength and hope.
Just what we all need in a world seemingly gone somewhat madder in 2015. Love the sound of the new track and I am now waiting with bated breath for the album. Enya’s music has been swirling around my head for over 25 years and it still sounds as beautiful today as it did back in 1988…long may it continue to calm us all!
Yes, but sometimes it’s hard to wait so long, without accurate information from the team of Enya. One has the impression that we forsake his fans. Its website does not work, nobody tells us anything.
Talk about keep people waiting! sheeeze Enya we love ya but DANG!!!! that was more than too long of a hiatus from the last album!!!!!! I hope all the new tracks are as powerful as this audio teaser. Welcome back. next time, write us or something!!.
debate as to the correct lyrics of the tune.
i hear…
And all the rains are like a kiss,
And all the years are never since,
And all the moments all in this,
And all is dust’ remember this.
My favourite Enya albums are Watermark, Shepherd Moons and The Memory Of Trees so I hope the new album will be in line with those and contain hits as great as Orinoco Flow, Storms In Africa, Caribbean Blue, Book Of Days, Anywhere Is or On My Way Home :)
I agree : we the fans have made Enya incredibly wealthy (for God’s sake she lives in a castle!) I know Enya is a recluse : but this borders on the ridiculous.
It has been a (very, VERY) long time yes, but we the fans or any other person are not in the position to force whoever we are fan of to do what we would like them to do most: making new music of course. I agree with that it is hard to understand why it took so long or why we as fans weren’t involved in the whole process. Giving us information on to why it took so long could help us understand. Even if Enya did have a break or something it would be nice to know about. But that didn’t happen, and it is her, or every other artists, right to do whatever they do (or don’t) without having to justify that.
Let’s just focus on what is the most important here… new music, a new album. Why it took so long, it doesn’t matter, cause its coming soon.
It’s been many years of silence, yes, but the new way of living with constant updates of ones life has taken the patience from us. Personally, I think that it creates bit of a mystery that Enya still “keep away from the world” between her albums, just like it was before this millennium. It’s Oct 2015 and nobody still know for sure if there will be an album this year or not. That’s very rare these days, but I kind of like it. I’m 30 now, and longing for something with no ideas of how it will be, is quite exciting. It’s the child within me that speaks :)
It does seem like a lifetime since “Amarantine” (Christmas albums and cover albums always bothered me a bit, so when “And Winter Came” came out it ran shy of expectations) – I am 54 years old – so I remember when albums just appeared like “magic” at the local record store – no build up, no Twitter, Facebook promotion. When I was a teenager, seeing the new Elton John album at the store was like the biggest deal. So, let’s all take a collective deep breath and relax. And just know that at some point soon we will all have new Enya music.
I am excited about some new material. Have been listening to my CD’s lately and wondering if would be anything new anytime.
I love the 2 snippets have heard so far. Looking forward to hearing both these songs fully and the rest as well. Probably a release in time for Christmas gift or something.
Although probably couldn’t wait a month or more if doesn’t come out till November. Wish was out now but know it takes time.
But can’t wait to hopefully hear more samples perhaps but do have to agree both are too short.
16 September 2015 at 4:26 PM
I am soooooooo excited! ohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygod. the best 23 seconds in my life!
16 September 2015 at 5:03 PM

16 September 2015 at 5:10 PM

16 September 2015 at 10:55 PM

17 September 2015 at 5:03 PM
Yes, I need new Enya…It’s for when?? Does anyone know when he will release his album?
17 September 2015 at 5:05 PM

17 September 2015 at 8:09 PM
I´M HAPPYYYYYYY!!! JAJAJA
17 September 2015 at 8:40 PM
It’s so great!
The snippet gives me reminiscence of:
– The third man.
– The longships.
– Morrighan (or Tempus Vernum).
– Trains and winter rains.
– My! My! Time flies!
– Wild Child (in a darker mood)
And Roma Ryan’s new poem is lovely.
18 September 2015 at 1:19 AM
Wow wow wow unbelievable!
18 September 2015 at 8:50 AM
When I heard it, the song that came to my mind was “Someone Said Goodbye”.
18 September 2015 at 9:46 AM
I’M BEYOND WORDS!!! YAY!!! NOW this will be a Happy Christmas this year fur me :-)
18 September 2015 at 12:11 PM
It is fantastic news! After so long… The world really needs soothing and heart-healing music :)
18 September 2015 at 2:04 PM

23 September 2015 at 6:44 AM
Hi, I’m Theresa. I really like this song. How long has this hiatus been?
24 September 2015 at 1:38 AM
8th album has not been released yet.
24 September 2015 at 2:30 AM
We have been waiting for so long. That was the most unexpected 23 seconds of my life. I can’t wait for the new album. Enya’s music is amazing, so spiritual and different from anything we call music nowadays. Thank you Enya for giving us strength and hope.
24 September 2015 at 4:39 PM
That’s certainly brightened up my day! The best singer around by a mile!
25 September 2015 at 4:42 PM
Que alegría el anuncio de un nuevo album de Enya. Alguien sabe si es en noviembre su salida.
Saludos
25 September 2015 at 5:12 PM
Can’t stop listening to this.
So very beautiful and uplifting.
Really can’t wait.
Thanks Enya.
26 September 2015 at 12:39 PM
Please more information
Title of the album, tracklist, title of the single, videoclip, date or release
28 September 2015 at 9:21 AM
Just what we all need in a world seemingly gone somewhat madder in 2015. Love the sound of the new track and I am now waiting with bated breath for the album.

29 September 2015 at 7:09 AM
Nov 24
The first single is “Remember This…”
out in just a few days
29 September 2015 at 7:41 AM
rr how do you know this???? Are you serious?
29 September 2015 at 2:16 PM
Nov.24 is more than a few days.
29 September 2015 at 4:33 PM
It is easy to surmise that the title could be “Remember This” because it’s one of the lyrics already provided…
29 September 2015 at 6:02 PM
Is it possible it could be released this coming Friday, 2nd October, as nearly all albums and single releases are put out on a Friday now….
29 September 2015 at 6:14 PM
…it would be nice
29 September 2015 at 11:56 PM

An cumadóir is fearr onár n-aois!
Her lyricist is not too bad either
30 September 2015 at 8:48 AM
This is amazing to hear after waiting for 7 years! cant wait to hear rest of her album and this song to
1 October 2015 at 8:11 PM
This seems to be the longest wait. I love Enya dearly, but this wait seems monumental
especially since “Amarantine” was 10 years ago.
1 October 2015 at 8:39 PM
My favourite Enya albums are Watermark, Shepherd Moons and The Memory Of Trees so I hope the new album will be in line with those and contain hits as great as Orinoco Flow, Storms In Africa, Caribbean Blue, Book Of Days, Anywhere Is or On My Way Home :)
1 October 2015 at 10:58 PM
