The Mystic Voice of Enya

Enya, an Ireland best solo musician who performs hauntingly memorable songs is one of my favorite artist too. I usually listened to Enya songs during afternoons and sometimes early in the morning. A number of Enya's songs are sung entirely in Irish Gaelin or Latin, with other containing the hithero-mentioned mixed with English or English by itself. Listening to Enya's music is like touching to one's soul giving free to all burdens and apprehension a person may have kept inside. Most often, Enya's songs were usually connected to the wonders of nature and the earth itself. Sometimes when I feel like i want to meditate, I listened to the melody of her songs and it allows me to relax and let go the feeling of resentments. Here are some of my collection of Enya's songs from her album A DAY WITHOUT RAIN. I like the Flora's Secret and Only Time song very much. Hope you will like it too.

Flora's secret Lyrics
By: Enya
Lovers in the long grass
look above them,only they can see
where the clouds are going,
only to discover dust and sunlight ever make the sky so blue.



Afternoon is hazy,river flowing,
all around the soundsmoving closer to them,
telling them the story told by flora,
dreams they never knew.


Silver willows,tears from Persia,
those who comefrom a far-off island,
Winter chanterelle liesunder cover,
Glory -of -the-sun in blue.


Some they know as passion,
some as freedom,some they know as love
and the way it leaves them,
Summer snowflakefor a season
when the sky above is blue,
when the sky above is blue.

Lying in the long grass close beside her
giving her the nameof the one the moon loves,
this will be the dayshe will remember
when she knew his heart was loving in the long grass
close beside her whispering of loveand the way it leaves them
lying the long grassin the sunlight,
they believe it’s true love,and from all around them
floras’secret telling them of love
and the way it breathes and
looking up from eyes of amaranthine they can see the sky is blue,
knowing that their love is true,
dreams they never knew,
and the sky above is blue.

Stay Subtle With Bossa Nova..

One of my favorite music genre nowadays is the Bossa Nova. Have you experienced having dinner with someone in a cozy restaurant while listening to some certain songs that brings elements of cool samba-jazz with Brazilian beat? Yes inded!! That's Bossa Nova. Too soothing to listen allowing one's mood to be relaxed. Most often, Bossa Nova spoke of love, life and beauty. That's why some Bossa Nova songs nowadays was just a revival from an old love songs which I love it better. And usualy, performers who revived such songs gets the public ears easily because for one, people is already familiar to it not to mention the wordings and the basic tune of the songs. What the performers did is just putting a samba-jazz flavor to it giving it a cool matrix. One of the famous Bossa Nova artist here in the Philippines is Isabel Ortega. She's a filipino artist with an enigmatic voice that is very captivating. I'm posting here some of her Bossa Nova songs and some can be downloaded. So keep visiting here for its availability.
