Speculate Wildly About Enya

Enya's reminded of when dear old Shane MacGowan was trying to enter her castle to invite her to go swimming at the beach :rofl:

From this article (refresh + print screen will keep it partially viewable) 😅

A PDF copy of the article is here:
 
Enya thinks "nepo baby" is a ridiculous term, especially if the children are talented in their own right.

She's grateful that herself and her siblings were not accused, but rather admired for being in a musically-inclined family. :thumbsup: 🎼
 
Enya supposes that if her next album does really well, one of her music videos could get to 1 billion views on YouTube by 2026 – or at least the official channel (next year) 👁️🔮

(Only Time currently has just over 255 million; @enyatv has ~860 million views)
 
Enya is fine with the TV licence rise as long as none of hers goes to Tess Daly
 
Enya still can't ride a bike :( 🚲
However, she's fine with a public transport, has chauffeur service, and "at least I can walk". :)
:enya:

Q35 自転車には乗れますか?

いいえ。父親が厳しくて、男の子は良くても、女の子は乗ることを絶対に許してくれなかったの。

From this 2008 Japanese interview (plenty more nicer responses too) ☺️

That's actually sad; I was 5 or 6 when I started cycling without stabilisers. Both of my parents, a bit closer to Enya's age, can ride a bike. Apparently 63% of adults worldwide can ride a bike; 88.5% in the UK and 94% in the US. No stats for Ireland, but guessing it's lower.
 
Enya is currently wondering why she has never been asked to film one of those MTV Hits channel Christmas songs link things, and how much does one get paid to do one?

Enya actually doesn't mind about the pay, more the company or what they request from her for the ad.
She accepted the request for ITV's Christmas greeting in 1992 🎄

as she was allowed to say her message in Irish, whilst looking pretty in Spain, or somewhere else warm. ☺ 🤗
 
These are top tier for me -

Happy Xmas (War Is Over)
December Will Be Magic Again
Have A Cheeky Christmas (genuinely)
Fairytale of New York
I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday
Mary's Boy Child
One More Sleep
Saviour's Day
Every Day's Like Christmas (by our Kylie)
And Mariah, obvs

I also love the following, which some very stupid people think are Christmas songs due to their videos / time of release, but are of course NOT:

Stay Another Day
The Power of Love (Frankie, not Huey)

And if we're talking carols, I think Oh Holy Night is sublime
Enya thinks this list is fabulous, and wonders if Finn knows any Enya Christmas songs too. 🎄🪄

Does My! My! Time Flies! count as a Christmas one?

(I'd say only the last verse's lyrics; 2010) :D
 
Enya always mentions Nicky Ryan's musical influences such as The Beach Boys and The Beatles, and hers of classical music and liking these songs, but never Roma's favourites.

"Roma likes so many", Enya says.
She was obsessed with Boney M, being from Belfast :D








Could've also been the director Rob Dickins with On My Way Home, haha

Enya wouldn't wish to own a tortoise, but she does relate to them. "Well I wouldn't! But I'm more like one than I'm not".
 
Enya doesn't usually wish for more interviews for her new albums, but next year she wants to speak about something different. :thumbsup:

She'd be up for an exclusive discussion about morbid fascinations and spooky stories, in relation to her upbringing and music, of course.

:ghost::enya:
 
Enya wasn't a fan of Nigel Farage before, but she thinks he's come across brilliantly on I'm A Celeb
 
Enya thinks that a lot of the children diagnosed with ADHD and autism just need 'a good slap'
Enya thinks that'd be a bit harsh, plus they're only more likely to slap back. 😬

She reckons she'd be misdiagnosed with either if she was a child, by today's standards :eyes:
(Mood/personality disorder-wise) probably cyclothymia and schizoid.
I've seen people go on about her being a HSP 'highly sensitive person' which she could be at the same time as these other 2.

Anyway, in the late 90s she supported an autism charity, but she knows it's not a "devastating illness" as it was described back then.
"I am deeply touched to hear that some of my music has helped make life a bit easier for some of those suffering from autism,"
'Enya dries her tears for Christmas' (doubtful she was that upset 😅 and she had castle celebrations to look forward to!) :laugh:🎊

The thread is here 🤩
Enya taking part in The Masked Singer UK
Is Enya on The Masked Singer this year?
I'd like to imagine her as Maypole or Weather 💐🌦🤗
Edit: actually not Maypole
WEATHER: "You know the weather is very unpredictable."
MAYPOLE: "Keeping it secret actually hasn't been that hard for me. I've decided to just hide in plain sight!"
In print it seems Enya enough, but not the voice :D

5th series begins 30th December :grin:

Enya, whilst she composes the music herself and sells quite a lot anyway 🎼🌟also has her brother to thank for a portion of the record sales:
Supposed to be Enya and her brother Ciarán

[MegaDolly: 10k signed* CDs (*which are not allowed anymore).] Oh? Is that a new chart rule?
The signed CDs may not count anymore, but I guess my purchase the other day counts towards something. :D 💿
At HMV the 3 remaining Enya CDs were hiding at the back; lower stock compared to the previous time I went this year. The physical copies are still selling :disco:
 
Enya thinks that her album Amarantine could've done better, had life not gotten in the way. Her mother mattered more than the music [article] 😌 💕

(The album might've been more successful with a couple of different singles chosen, a bit less Loxian, and chosen a different album cover pose.) ☺️
 
She should’ve showed more BOOB on the cover, and of course nothing gets the punters in more of a frenzy more than a glimpse of CLUN.
 
Rumour has it that once a year, at Christmas, Enya invites the castle staff to the keep for a festive feast and a glimpse of CLUN.
 
Enya could have been the face of the Lancôme Paris perfume Poême in 1995 before Juliette Binoche

However, Enya
a) wasn't French enough
b) wanted to do her own song instead
c) was too busy promoting The Memory of Trees, and the album has a similar vibe to the perfume anyway.
d) All of the above 😅

(I randomly chose this perfume last year by scent, not knowing its 'history' or 'notes' , just liked it ☆)
 
Enya reveals that her novelty song One Toy Soldier is actually a metaphor for a lonely workaholic who'll cheer up once they come home for a family Christmas. 😌🤗
