Just randomly stumbled on this song, and despite it being something I used to laugh at for its dramatics when I was younger, it really resonated with me just now.

Could be the beer talking

I have always wanted to hear this song mixed together with Come Sail Away by Styx.

There must be a mashup of this somewhere.

If boffins can bring NIN and Carly Rae Jepson together, then the least they can do is Enya and Styx

That NIN/CRJ mashup has absolutely no business being as good as it is!

its great enough that enya has never toured or even performed live. i seem to recall that unlike many artists, the live performance thing isnt wanted or necessary to maintain popularity.

e. what kinda beer?

She didn't tour because it wasn't practical to do all the layering and effects live at the time. Apparently she's kicked around the idea of a live tour more recently.

what kinda beer?

A subtle artful mix of half a heineken poured into half a guinness. Chefs kiss/burp

Supposedly she a single woman living in a huge castle with her cats. According to a post I saw recently

I enjoy almost everything Enya has put out. Anywhere Is is my favorite track from them.

Absolute classic. When I hear OF, I want to hear this too.
Same with Harlem Shuffle and Jump Around.

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 1 points 1 week ago

Wow that's actually soothing and hard as hell. I love this

IDK I've always thought Orinoco Flow is a banger.

[–] HexagonSun@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

Great song. I love finally being mature enough to just play anything I feel like hearing.

[–] Oddbin@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There's a class mashup of it with Smack My Bitch Up too.
