I am not a fan of Enya because I found her songs too haunting for my liking. It sort of grab your attention, pull you into it and I find that too distracting. I am not sure if people understand what I am saying. Hahaha. For example, once you heard the sail away sail away, the tune will linger in your head for a long time, sometimes all day. Then, I tend to burst out with sail away sail away…
However, I think this is the reason why Enya And Winter Came album is the best selling on Amazon. With Christmas around the corner, this is like a good gift for those who like music.

Lilian, I fully understand what you experienced!
I believe her songs are hypnotic,like a chant, and sometimes hard to get it out of your head… especially the sail away, sail away part …… aiyah… now it’s stuck in my head!
I really don’t understand how she could be so popular and her albums sell by the millions. Most times I do not know what she is singing about.
So when I saw the above review in the Sunday Star , I was like ….. oh no, not another one! But I saw that the review was very good and favorable. Ah well ……..
Sail away, sail away, sail away …………….. after this line I don’t know what she’s singing about!Can’t hear a word properly.
