Dark Sky Island Deluxe Edition + Cover

The extended track might be the bsides from the single (?)

I don’t know, but it remind me of remastered version of watermark,shepherd moons,and tmot released few months ago in japan that included almost all of the bsides

It’s awesome, the new cover. This is the start for touring trough the world? Hope see comes to England or Holland!

I’m beyond words. I am so excited that all my problems faded away…

I can’t believe it that after 7 years we get so much. I feel this album will be heavenly. Celestial….with a song called “Forge of Angels”…i mean..seriously. “Even in the shadows”. Holy cow…my Enya senses are tingling like crazy. I am on BBC waiting for the single preview.

I live in NYC and I haven’t slept all night. The power of beautiful music. So glad I found this incredible site!

You can preorder it now on amazon.co.uk for standard and deluxe edition. So I believe the official release date is Nov 20th, same as A DAY WITHOUT RAIN was in 2000. Almost all her albums are released in November, perfecttime of autumn going into Winter :) CANNOT WAIT! Once I get home, I am going to pre-order it x

Get ready guys. SIngle will be played in 3..4 minutes!!!!

It was amazing…it was just amazing. Echoes in Rain is bliss..it is heavenly it is amazing!

Just finished listening to the song. It is wonderful!!!! I can’t wait for the whole album!!!!

FANTASTIC!!!!

Wait for it to get online DD Wyrm.

Incredible song! Echoes in Rain brings the best of the old Enya with news and elegants touches (the piano solo is soooo beautiful..) Orinoco Flow effects, Pizzicato from ADWR, the end of Caribbean Blue… I´m so excited!

Yeah! It reminded me of Caribbean Blue and Orinoco Flow. Absolutely gorgeous! The fact that the album contains additional tracks make it more exciting. Her old sound is back although I must say that the lyrics resemble those of “It’s in the rain”.

The BBC2 app on my tab isn’t responding and so I missed all the fun of listening to this beautiful song of enya’s. Can someone please fill me in on how I did get to listen to it.
pppplllleeeeaaaasssseeee…….

So nice the song Echoes in Rain

Thanks Enya :*

Thanks Lucia :*

And thanks everyone.

I HAVE JUST HEARD THE NEW SONG ON YOUTUBE AND I COULD NOT STOP SMILING, STILL CAN’T.
I LOVE IT!!!! I am in shock over the piano solo? what is that about? This is definitly a new sound for Enya, it’s almost like the sound of A Day Without Rain but amped up with a mix of Amarantine :)

I love it! The chorus is uplifting and I like that how it goes on in the song, the music get’s more cinematic sounding. #EnyaisBack LOVE IT!!!!!!

I can’t see the review, says the tweet has been deleted :(

@noodle The hotpress link is also dead on my device.
But this link should work:
https://www.hotpress.com/Enya/news/Exclusive-Enya-Returns-With-Brand-New-Album/15425080.html

They’ve also translated the official press release into German. It’s already on the Amazon website as “product description.” I can hardly breathe. I can’t believe the album is really out on Nov. 20.

I LOVED THE TRACK!!! I was up listening to the show and when it came on… I was AMAZED!!! It sort of reminded me of of the old work, combined a little with something new and the track “Only Time” (if “Only Time” were a faster tempo track.)

I can also see this new music being stage friendly. I can certainly see a stage tour going on with this style of music.

APPLAUSE ALL AROUND HERE!!! :-)

zhenvision: I’m sure this isn’t the official music video, but was released to just confirm the lyrics and make the audio version available. Also, an official video would surely be exclusively released by Warner Records. :)

I’m on the road, I know the way….
Such a Taoism inspired phrase, love it!!

Lyrics in one place :)

wait for the sun
watching the sky
black as a crow
night passes by
taking the stars
so far away
everything flows
here comes another new day

into the wind
I throw the night
silver and gold
turn into light
I’m on a road
I know the way
everything flows
here comes another new day

alleluia…

echoes in rain
drifting in waves
long journey home
never too late
black as a crow
night comes again
everything flows
here comes another new day

alleluia…

I listened to “Echoes In Rain” and I could definitely hear hints of CARRIBEAN BLUE, and ORINOCO FLOW, Music. The NEW ALBUM will probably be a mix of ENYA’S old and early 2000 music!!

Echoes in Rain is awesome, haunting, beautiful. It has all the sounds I fell in love with when I heard Enya’s mysic for the first time (Wild Child) when I was 15yo. But besides being so happy with the new song in general, I also love the melancholy that at least I feel throughout the song. Not just the music itself, but the lyrics have really touched me more than ever. It makes me feel like crying from sadness and joy at the same time. Being a geography teacher I can also relate the song to our ever turning and changing world, day in day out, and the beauty of that.

I love the moment when there is the piano and the water, as if the waves jouaient.c’est beautiful.

It’s very kind of you to answer me.
Thank you very much Anonymous for this goods news…

I’m looking forward to hear the song “the humming” from descriptions it seems like an amazing song….

If this does end up being her final album, then I’m happy to know that she’s brought it full circle. I’ll be sad to see her end her career, but I’ll be happier to know that she’s made the best decision for her life. And I’ll continue to endlessly listen to her music!

Hi,
the song “Echos in Rain” is great :) I like this track.

The is an update of enya.com website. There are some new photos of Enya: http://enya.com/gallery/

Got the the song “Echos in Rain” from Itunes..! what a wonderful today !

The website looks nice, but Enya is just amazing. It has been 7 years since her last appereances but iswear…there is nothing about her that could tell you that she is “old”. She is timeless, beautifull, gracefull…and Angel who is for the moment lives amongs us <3. I swear..she's amazing…she is just amazing.

Haruji-san & firemark:

Enya may be “only” 54, but Nicky is already 66, and as we all know, her music is a labour-intensive process. I don’t believe that Enya would produce another album without her lifelong best friends and creative partners Nicky or Roma, so we’re confronted by a very real prospect of this being her last (or second last) album.

Also, she’s clearly aged a lot (albeit gracefully) since the last time she was in the public eye. The very fact that she’s heading towards the twilight of her life and career breaks my heart.

Yes – Indeed! I fully agree to that / to the last entry & comment.

I personally say, think and also strongly believe, that there is more / a lot of things still coming to us, (from Enya, Roma & Nicky Ryan) to the whole world of course in the coming time / times . . .

yes – Indeed: she had made in fact a 7 Year-long Breakup/Hiatus, but that doesn’t mean that all that there is any end coming in the near future in sight (and/or something like that)

Oh – No

This (should be) is not the end, not the last and also not the second-last / penultimate album/masterpiece that she (Enya) will still ever do/release (in her lifetime)

I am Personally (now) Very Positive and also very Optimistic
so – therefore my appeal is to all of you and to all Enya-Fans all over the World is only this:

Be and Think Positive and Optimistic!

This is just and only STILL the beginning of a completely new Era in Enya’s fabulous & unique life & career

We should be now be happy, satisfied, thankful, motivated and also be deeply inspired from her

I still strongly believe in Enya & on her Creativity

God Bless Her & The Whole Team

@Georgi…thank you very much …This got me heated heart, your message.

Great website revamp
But please go back and spell check – Shepard Moon really???

About the natural thing of getting older, I think Enya “aged” the most between PTSWS in 1997 and ADWR in 2000. Now I think she looks quite much the same as 15 years ago, perhaps just a little older. Anyway she’s still Beautiful and so is her music.

Kate Bush took 12 years to create Aerial. Long may Kate and Enya last. Now, theres a duet…..

Wonder what Enya looks like without all the cosmetics, and all the professional cover ups, touch ups, and photo shopped photography, we probably would never recognize her. But, all Artists do this they have to keep a certain appearance for professional reasons. I think it’s wonderful Enya has a new album we all can appreciate!!

No one is saying Enya should stop writing music or stop recording new albums, the Ryans Nicky,and Roma are in their mid to late sixties, the trio is getting older and it takes the trio almost a DECADE to make a new album, So with that said, the Ryans will be pretty much be in their mid 70’s and Enya in her early 60’s. But, who knows what the GOOD LORD has in store for the future!!!!

I agree on some aspects of your comment, like her older music, and Enya having her own particular sound which I do think is wonderful. The part I don’t agree on is that some of the music and lyrics are so similar or sound the same, which when listening to a song you say to yourself that sounds similar to this or that song and sometimes that is disappointing, because you want to hear something different and new. I grew up listening to Enya’s music from the very beginning of her career, and until this day. What we all should do is CELEBRATE Enya’s NEW ALBUM and ENJOY what she has been giving us thru the years, A TALENTED MUSICIAN AND ARTISTS !!

#87, I’m not sure if you commented on my post (#86) or the one I commented (#84). Anyway, I do think there is a very big difference between Enya’s hits and songs. Probably more than any artist since she sings in so many different languages, create instrumental songs as well as relaxing, sad, happy songs and true radio hits. The only trend I see is that the sound was more spectacular before this millennium, though the music of today can still be great. It was more that I felt that I needed to defend Enya’s (and other artist’s) 20th Century sounding and songs because I do believe the technology was as good by then as it may be today.

#89 from #87 We should stop trying to decide from years ago to present millennium before or after the music of Enya technology and so on. As I said in my comment, is what we all should do is focus and CELEBRATE Enya’s NEW ALBUM and ENJOY what she has given to us thru the years is A REMARKABLE, TALENTED, MUSICIAN AND ARTISTS.!! By the way my name is BRENDA! not Anonomous

Im not a fan of Enya’s music because I want something different to hear from Enya…. Im an Enya fan because I fell in love with that particular sound, so why would I want to hear something (completely) different? I don’t get most of the discussion here. Age, waiting, familiar sounds… It is all irrelevant. It’s about new Enya songs, and you either like the music or not. There’s not much to discuss about music in general. It’s all about taste.

Anonymous #92 I am all for everyone sharing their thoughts and views, after all isn’t that the reason for this website Comments/Opinions. So feel free to voice your Comment/Opinion, I voiced my opinion. So, have fun CELELBRATING ENYA,!!!

Great song, hopefully, it’ll be an equally great album too.

“This album has a theme of journeys,” states Enya. “Journeys to the island; through the length of a lifetime; through history, through emotions; and journeys across great oceans.”

Thanks to Mike, when he mentioned that he’s a geography teacher, it reminded me of one of the greatest events in my poor life: when I was sitting in a plane and listening to the “Book of Days”, and at the very second, when “… and a new earth across a wide ocean…” was sung – there are lights appeared in the night far beneath the plane’s wing: scattered lights of some village in Greenland, distant land in a wide ocean – AMAZING MOMENT. And since then I always remember it, when I hear “Book of Days” :-) If only, as Enya states, an entire new album was like that….

And one more thing, about pessimism and Enya’s possible future albums. Really – did not almost everybody here read the only announcement available on Internet so far??! Here:
“For this triumvirate of partners and friends, the journey marches on,” the release concludes. “With ‘Dark Sky Island’ and beyond, who knows what further expeditions lay unpredicted just over the horizon?”
To me (as best as my English serves me) it clearly reads: there’s long journey ahead! All things been positive – we’ll hear much more of new songs in coming years. And as somebody mentioned it right: since Enya has invested significant funds into her studio’s renovation – it is certainly to happen.

On another hand, though… I am a much bigger fan of another music composer/band, than I am of Enya. And every time they release a new album – I take it as gifted, not ever expecting anything: if there will be one – great, if not – it’s life and it is what it is. But I am happy, as everyone here and at many other places on Earth that new album is coming. Amazing – I’ll get it on November 19th, can not wait!!

It is a pity that on the eve of a new Enya album the most important thing here seems to go at eachother. You ppl love Enya’s music, try and think of that before you go around attacking others. It is the internet, and nobody knowns anybody, we can be as acid and as vindictive as we want, but do we really want to do that on such a well organised and beautifully made Enya website?

There are tons of forums out there where we can call ourselves names, make a thread on reddit where you just write to your hearts content about how you hate the world and the people around it.

But right here, with so much to talk about Enya, i’m surprised you find it is right and efficient to waste words and energy on attacking eachother.

Let’s leave egos and tendencies to pay in kind. We’ve waited for 7 years people. 7 years when most of us had no contact to eachother and now as a new album is out we want to slim our number by getting to eachother, instead of being united and showing Enya her fan base is here for he and her beautiful music.

I am sorry if this offender anybody, but i am not sorry if it made you feel a hint of “shame” considering where you are and where these comments appear: the post of Enya’s new album.

@K10.

Enya’s music is above all else. Our little petty problems pale in ocmparison to what her sound brings. Joy to our souls, who unlike Enya’s, have not found the way to express themselves so. But i know that such music, such emotion, such depth will just make us better, despite songs being insturmentals or in languages we don’t know. Music is that powerfull and as we come closer to the launch date i can feel how it reaches out and calls to us like a siren would.

She is here :)

That sounded a little eerie i know but i can’t think of Enya like a typical pop/new-age singer. To me she is above everything musicly made.

Enya’s music speaks to the soul. I am grateful to still be able to witness a new album. Can hardly wait :) So happy.
