Speculate Wildly About Enya

Enya is considered by her nieces and nephews as their 'cool wine aunt' 😅

Enya is going to have a biopic film made about her- perhaps twin biopics - a proper one, and a comedy-drama film like Bend It Like Beckham, but instead called Rock It Like Rockmaninoff :rofl:(2032) 🎦🎶🌠
 
At times Roma Ryan sees Enya and Nicky being like the figures from Greek mythology, Echo and Narcissus. :eyes:
That's partly why she wrote 'I am the echo' (in Spanish, for La Soñadora) and the phrase 'Echoes In Rain', etc..💡🔊

Enya travels to Australia often to see her sister Olive and more Aussie family 🤗 (true) but she has mixed feelings about the vaping ban:
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-05-02/federal-government-bans-import-recreational-vapes/102292306
Good to prevent children and young people vaping, but... 😅

Note: I have no idea if Enya has actually tried it, smoking or vaping, but I could imagine it. I have never vaped nor smoked, but I am quite familiar with that fruity grape/watermelon scent due to secondhand vapour etc..
 
Enya will release a new single, featuring a music video that somewhat resembles the set of Owl City's Fireflies:

✨
Adam Young is a fan of Enya too! [1] [2] [3🌠]

Contrary to popular belief that Enya would be perfect at 'isolating in a castle with cats' during lockdown, she could barely do so without falling into despair. :(
To cheer up, she went to stay with her sister Deirdre and family (partly true, see this 🌱🌺) and proudly wore her Nikes :D✔️👟
 
Enya was considering joining her sisters in this Eurovision interval act from 1995:

Enya's sister Olive (a playlist here, I think she seems most like Enya, but an Aussie and even more witty) often mentions that she performed the Eurovision songs on the stage in their father's pub (late 60s/early 70s like Clodagh Rogers, Dana, Cliff Richard - she was probably still little at the time) so maybe Enya had a go at singing/performing some too? 😅

Enya is famous for NEVER CHANGING. Birthdays and aging are the antithesis of that.

And so she will spend the day doing AS SHE ALWAYS WOULD.

Nude treadmill in the morning, followed by a breakfast of unicorn droppings. She will sacrifice a Corr sister before lunch. In the afternoon she will transport by moonbeam to her nearest TK Maxx, where she will fuel frenzied internet forum speculation by procuring a new handbag. In the evening she will hum.
 
Well, flourishing and fleeting :eyes: on Reddit and Marble Halls occasionally - still some thought-provoking discussions. Aren't you also Candace from those?
I don't see much conversation these days on either of those sites! Years ago, there were very good conversations on MH, but most of them were deleted, and now admin seems to shut down everything.
 
^True about the admin thing. Oh well 😅

Today Enya was considering re-recording an older song of hers - or figuring out how to incorporate 'turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, up, adieu' into a new one :D
🎚️🎛️⛵🎼
 
I say we speculate wildly about the various structures that have appeared around Enya's studio in recent years! :shock:

In the attached screenshots--which come from the Google Earth app--the studio is the building with the dormer-style windows.

Sheds next to the studio?! A playset?! Other items on the lawn?! A large white corral or pen (or whatever)?! What does it all mean?!

Using Google Earth Pro on a laptop/desktop and going back through the historical imagery reveals these things appeared over time. One shed was in place next to the studio by June 2016, and possibly earlier (some historical imagery is fuzzy). The playset appeared by June 2018, and the large white corral or pen by April 2021. All of that was still in place as of July 13, 2022 (the current imagery). 🤓

Enya's hiatus in the late 90s arose when she instead devoted her energies to repeated auditions to replace Zordon in the hit Power Rangers series.

Her failure led to her continuing belief that children should not be groomed to wear spandex, but should instead be sacrificed to the moon.

" Just the children in the music videos - although they make a successful return as grown-ups somehow :thumbsup:

Please could the Enya - Echoes In Rain thread also make such a return? :D

She's not had the covid vaccine, and thinks you're a microchipped sheeple if you have.

I thought the reason Enya doesn’t get vaccines is because she has no sleeves to roll up (being nude).
 
🤔


The 1st tweet - can half believe it, but can't tell if the humming is a joke :eyes:
2nd one - that might also have some truth to it... but some teacher figures just don't like the more gifted individuals. :whistle: She probably was better :enya:

Enya got 2 honorary doctorates:
144631cc-bd91-11ed-a7ed-0210609a3fe2
 
Enya sometimes dreams of her surname being Branigan instead of Brennan. More specifically instead of Moya's sister, she's the late Laura Branigan's sister. 💭 💗

I dunno, Clannad wasn't really all that famous until after she left school. They didn't become truly famous (Harry's Game) until after her short stint in the band ended. Per Moya's autobiography, Clannad didn't even actually turn professional (i.e., give up their other jobs/careers) until mid-1975.

This reminds me that I've always been a little unclear about the time between leaving school (Loreto College) and joining Clannad. I do know that, contrary to her description of events in later years, she did not go straight from school to Clannad. Various sources (including her mother!) have stated she spent a year after college being tutored in music by the late Father Cathal O’Callaghan. The 2010 Irish Roots magazine piece says she had just turned 17 when she left college. So that would have been 1978. In that case, it was more than two years between leaving school and joining Clannad.

The 16 September 1997 Irish Independent states that she had to repeat her leaving Cert because she didn't get enough points on her exams! So perhaps that accounts for some of that 2+ year gap. :wink:
 
These three individuals [1] [2] [3] all notable in their own right, born 1989 or so, could they be amongst Enya's donor children? Two of them have children themselves now. Her great talent is getting passed on somehow...! :disco:
This could just be me speculating wildly, but I see it 😅 they all sort of resemble her in different ways.

1 - Ben Esposito 🎮🎵(Twitter)

Here I was thinking you'd gone totally bonkers. Then I remembered that a couple of flaky-looking (to me) websites claim Enya has had a relationship with a Tom Esposito:

https://www.celebsinsights.com/dating/enyas-boyfriend-list/
https://www.whosdatedwho.com/dating/enya-and-tom-esposito

Make of it what you will. Personally, I don't think those web sites have any credibility. I also don't see much resemblance between Ben and Eithne, but that's subjective of course.
 
Two hours after arriving on Moopy, I finally get around to making the post I originally came here to make!

Up for debate: could this young lady be Eithne? It's a pic from the 1978 Ballisdore music festival in Ireland. 🤔

The full pic is also attached. In it, the young lady is in the lower left corner. You can also see Nicky Ryan (with lots of hair) at the sound board!



 
Here I was thinking you'd gone totally bonkers. Then I remembered [...]
Haha, I assume you're thinking that for most of my contributions anyway 😅
Yes, could be a completely unrelated Esposito, and that Tom may or may not exist.
Ben Esposito made reference to Enya songs (and named two characters Nicky and Roma) in his 2018 video game Donut County :D

I dunno, Clannad wasn't really all that famous until after [...]
I was aware of that, Clannad becoming famous after Eithne's time with them, but in 1975 she'd have still been in education (boarding school which included college, and the extra year or so of tutoring) until 1980, probably.

This reminds me that I've always been a little unclear about the time[...]
I wondered that too, I think I've since got a better idea of the timeline, haha. My understanding of it is that she finished lower boarding school at 16 (mid-1977) and her lovely story about her coming home after college was over was likely in summer 1979, age 17. She also mentions in this 1988 article you translated about the following year off, with the tutoring, probably until she redid her exams. Not long after (late 1980) she joined Clannad.
The thing I wonder more about is when she actually cut her hair short? 😄 ✂️ Enya says she was 18, but from photos she still had long-ish hair then, perhaps shorter than before. I think she got her actual short haircut at 20.

The 16 September 1997 Irish Independent states that she had to repeat her leaving Cert because she didn't get enough points on her exams! So perhaps that accounts for some of that 2+ year gap. :wink:

Probably that. Still, if this is in reference to being gifted, it doesn't mean someone naturally gets brilliant results in their assessments, often the opposite. There are some who are/become really good at doing exams and other tests at school but aren't clever/wide-thinkers otherwise. Since I was little people have considered me gifted/talented, one of the smart and clever ones, but slow, always dreaming, and not excelling in tedious assessments. My final college results, due to the pandemic, were based on teachers' assessments (which weren't great for me, to say the least). Somehow, instead of retaking, I got into university. Within a year I will have a BSc degree. 👩🏻‍🔬🎓
TL;DR those slow, daydreaming people do find their way to greater things somehow. 😌🌠

Could this young lady be Eithne? It's a pic from the 1978 Ballisodare music festival in Ireland. 🤔
Yes, almost definitely! :happy: Eithne would've only been about 17 there. Where did you find the image/about the year?

She has the same coat as the appearance when they walk from the van in this 1980 Clannad and Enya video. :thumbsup:
If she is the same person, the girl here must be her too :cool:

Enya was the original first choice for the guest female vocal on Take That’s version of Relight My Fire. L*l* ended up taking the spot due to industrial sabotage, where rumours were spread about her merely pretending to be Irish.
 
Enga reportedly thinks this thread is a load of old rubbish and is so “ashamed and embarrassed” that she’s turned to Buckfast and Taytos and there now won’t be a new album until 2035 :(
 
" I figured out Lulu (still don't get what is that bad about her) but I imagine something of a Take That collaboration with Enya was considered 😊
🎵▶️

so “ashamed and embarrassed” that she’s turned to Buckfast and Taytos

I think Enya did the opposite to that - she was embarrassed about her outgoingness under the influence of alcohol at this 2019 event (my goodness @Castle_Qwean you put it on YouTube 🙈) that she quit over lockdown and got sober. Who knows... only [if] time :googlyeyes:
 
Her favourite track is The Bomb! (These Sounds Fall into My Mind) by Kenny Dope presents The Bucketheads

She says of it "it really got my pussy going while buying cheap wine at 1am in a 24 hour Texaco in Chichester. Love it"

Rumor has it there's another, far more rare video with the same "theme", in the Enya.fyi collection. :whistle: It's older than the 2019 video. Apparently no one has noticed it yet, or at least I haven't seen it shared anyplace I frequent on Facebook, etc. Maybe no one has hard drive space to download all those videos, lol. :tongueout:
