Two Irish lasses in a row….you could do worse.
Enya’s A Day Without Rain is my favourite piece that I’ve heard from her collection and it was one of the first songs I posted on here. Today’s song Only Time is from the same album and is arguably one of her most beloved songs. Sometimes Enya sometimes gets a bad rap for reasons that escape me, but I like this a lot.
According to Wikipedia: In the aftermath of the 11 September attacks, sales of the album and its lead single, “Only Time”, surged after the song was widely used during radio and television coverage of the events, leading to its description as “a post-September 11 anthem”.
[Verse 1]
Who can say where the road goes?
Where the day flows?
Only time
And who can say if your love grows
As your heart chose?
Only time
[Interlude]
[Verse 2]
Who can say why your heart sighs
As your love flies?
Only time
And who can say why your heart cries
When your love lies?
Only time
[Bridge]
Who can say when the roads meet?
That love might be in your heart?
And who can say when the day sleeps
If the night keeps all your heart?
Night keeps all your heart
Enya Patricia Brennan known professionally as Enya, is an Irish singer, songwriter, record producer and musician. She began her music career with her family band Clannad but left in 1982 with their manager and producer Nicky Ryan to pursue a solo career. She has sung in 10 languages; eight more than me. The commercial and critical success of Watermark (1988) propelled her to worldwide fame. You could describe her music as new-age Celtic.
In 2001 she wrote and performed two tracks for the soundtrack of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) at the request of director Peter Jackson.

Very cool. I only speak one lol…I did take Spanish class in High School. Long ago.
I am not very linguistic. I had to work hard at it. Even still my grammar an pronunciation in Spanish is not the best. But not as bad as in the early days.
I think that’s cool.
