Patricia Brennan(Irish: Eithne Pádraigín Ní Bhraonáin/ˈɛnjə/; born 17 May 1961) is an Irish singer-songwriter and
musician. Born into a musical family and raised in the Irish-speaking area of Gweedore, County Donegal, Enya began her music career when she joined
her family's Celtic folk band Clannad
in 1980 on keyboards and backing vocals. She left the group in
1982 with their manager and producer Nicky Ryan to pursue a solo career, with Ryan's
wife Roma Ryan as her lyricist. Enya developed her
sound over the following four years with multitracked vocals and keyboards with
elements of new age, Celtic, classical, church, world, pop, and Irish
folk. Thus far,
she has sung in ten languages, most notably English, Irish Gaelic(Gaeilge), Latin, and Welsh.
Enya's first
projects as a solo artist included soundtrack work for The Frog Prince(1984)
and the 1987 BBC documentary series The Celts,
which was released as her debut album, Enya(1987). She signed with Warner
Music UK, which
granted her artistic freedom and minimal interference from the label. The
commercial and critical success of Watermark(1988) propelled her to worldwide fame, helped
by the UK number one and international hit single "Orinoco Flow". This was followed by the
multi-million-selling albums Shepherd Moons(1991), The
Memory of Trees(1995),
and A Day
Without Rain(2000).
Sales of the latter and its lead single, "Only Time", surged in the United States following
its use in the media coverage of the September
11 attacks.
Following Amarantine(2005) and And
Winter Came...(2008),
Enya took a four-year career hiatus before she resumed in 2012 and released her
eighth studio album, Dark Sky Island(2015).
Enya is
Ireland's best-selling solo artist and second-best-selling overall behind U2. Her discography has sold 26.5million certified albums in the United States and an
estimated 75 million records worldwide, making her one of the best-selling music artists of all time. A Day Without Rain(2000) remains the best-selling
new-age album, with an estimated 16 million copies sold worldwide. Enya has won
numerous awards, including seven World Music Awards, four Grammy Awards for Best New Age Album, and an Ivor
Novello Award.
She was nominated for an Academy Award and a Golden
Globe Award for
"May It Be", written for The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring(2001).
"May It
Be" is a song by Irish recording artist Enya. It was composed by Enya and Roma Ryan for Peter Jackson's 2001 film The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. The song entered the German Singles Chart at number one in 2002 and was
performed by Enya at the 74th
Academy Awards.
"May It Be" was acclaimed by music critics and received nominations
for the Academy Award for Best Original Song, the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song, and the Grammy Award for Best Song Written for Visual Media.
May it be an evening
star
Shines down upon you
May it be when darkness falls
Your heart will be true
You walk a lonely road
Oh, how far you are from home
Mornië utúlië
Believe and you will find your way
Mornië alantië
A promise lives within you now
May it be the
shadow's call
Will fly away
May it be your journey on
To light the day
When the night is overcome
You may rise to find the sun
Mornië utúlië
Believe and you will find your way
Mornië alantië
A promise lives within you now
A promise lives
within you now
May it be an evening
star
Shines down upon you
May it be when darkness falls
Your heart will be true
You walk a lonely road
Oh, how far you are from home
Mornië utúlië
Believe and you will find your way
Mornië alantië
A promise lives within you now
May it be the
shadow's call
Will fly away
May it be your journey on
To light the day
When the night is overcome
You may rise to find the sun
Mornië utúlië
Believe and you will find your way
Mornië alantië
A promise lives within you now
A promise lives
within you now.
