ENYA NEWS » watermark

Dreamworks Animations uploaded the ‘Madagascar 3′ segment featuring Enya’s ‘Watermark’ to their Youtube channel. It’s actually pretty funny.

Something to read over a rainy weekend: pages for all the songs on Watermark, Shepherd Moons and Paint the sky with Stars are finished.

I’d like to thank to Roma for writing the wonderful lyrics and liner notes, TreeCat for hosting the articles, Enya fans for transcribing many of them and myself for not going crazy after compiling all this.

Our little gallery is slowly growing and now contains 1625 pictures. The newest photos are always first: Amarantine (thanks to Elizabeth), Shepherd Moons, Watermark, Tokyo.

Special mention for the pictures from The Very Best of Enya Collector’s edition booklet. The quality is unfortunately not amazing as they are not very large to begin with and I don’t have my scanner with me. I just took photos with my camera and cleared them up in Photoshop. My favourite is the sunset photo and I used it as my wallpaper.

In other news, yours truly is also enlarging her Enya collection and ordered the Grammy EPK because it contains an alternative version of A Life in Music documentary. Five minutes later, she found out that a part of the alternative version can be seen online on the Stylorouge website. It’s very close to the standard version available on Enya – The Video Collection & The Very Best of Enya DVD but the footage is a bit different and Enya talks about Fallen Embers and Tempus Vernum in the end.

As fans of Sarah Brightman probably already know, her vocalised
version of Watermark was released on her limited cd
The Harem Tour that can be bought only at the HAREM
concerts. I bought a copy at her concert in Prague, so here is
Sarah’s comment to the song from the cd booklet.

"WATERMARK is my vocalise version of a beautiful
instrumental by Enya. It was recorded for the TIMELESS Album* but
we never finished it after Enya and her record company (which was
also mine at the time) threatened me to put an injuction on my
album."
