(OT) It's my Birthday today and my parents gave me....

Enya’s C.D., “A Day WIthout Rain” and The Corr’s album “In Blue” and a C.D. holder. I love both of the C.D.'s! Does anyone else have Enya’s? I was listening to the songs on it and I was thinking about how nice a whistle would accompany the songs. Has anyone else tried this? I also love The Corr’s C.D. - it’s really wizard!

Peace,
Sara

Happy Birthday Sara!

HAPPY BIRTHDAYYYYYY !!!


Dan

Happy Birthday Sara.

I’ve now said this twice today…it’s my partner’s birthday today (21st Feb) and guess what her name is? Yep, Sarah (plus the ‘h’, I know, but it’s invisible when I speak!!)

I first bought Enya’s music in the mid 1980’s, when I worked in psychiatry in Liverpool, UK (a stressful job in a very stressed City). The relaxing effect in had on me when I played her music in the car was remarkable!

Best wishes,

Steve :slight_smile:

Happy Birthday.

You’ve noted, of course, that Enya’s “May It Be” from Lord of the Rings was nominated for an Oscar. Ihave several of her albums, including the score CD from The Celts. Usually, we buy them as they come out.

Hi!
Thanks for the nice notes, guys! I really appreciate it! :slight_smile:

Steve,
Thanks! That’s too weird that her name is Sarah - I think it’s cool that I’m sharing a birthday with someone who has the same name as me who lives in Ireland! Tell her happy birthday for me!

Enya’s music is quite relaxing - I haven’t listened to all the songs on the album yet, but I love the ones I’ve heard so far. The songs have a very haunting quality about them.

I haven’t heard May It Be - I’m about to look for a clip of it online.

Peace and love,
Sara

Have several of Enya’s CDs. I think personally, that Shepherd Moon is still the best one. I even have a music book for several of them and if you play the dreaded and dasterdly “piano”(see other thread) you can play along with this CD if your piano is well tuned. Lots of fun. Have used lots of Enya music when playing for weddings.

cowtime,
I’ll have to look for a music book of her songs. I posted on the piano thread. For a minute, I thought you had posted that thread, but I checked and was mistooken (I meant to say mistooken, I know it’s mistaken).

Peace and love,
Sara

Happy Birthday Sara!!!
May this note find you in good health & in good spirits. (And seein’ that it’s your birthday, perhaps with some good spirits!)

I’ve enjoyed Enya for quite some time and personally agree with cowtime. Shepard Moons is her most awsome CD.

Enjoy your day!

Sara

A couple of weeks ago, Amazon.com was giving the song away as a freebie - of course, that was before the Oscar nomination.

(off key at the top of her lungs)

Hoppy Birdday to you
Hoppy Birdday to you
Hoppy Birdday, dear Sara
Hoppy Birdday to you!

Happy Birthday, Sara,

I was given a CD of Enya by someone who didn’t like it. I do like the music, but after a while it starts to sound like everything is covered and in slow motion. I think a good dose of pipe organ music by Widor might also be in order, just to balance things out. After all, a pipe organ is a very large collection of whistles of ALL sizes. And Widor’s music hits all aspects of emotions. You just might love it. It isn’t the stuff played in church. It is very powerful. -JP

Happy Birthday Sara!

The only disappointing Corrs CD I have is Corrs Live, from Langelands in Denmark. It’s good but it’s not great. The Corrs Unplugged DVD is great, and I’m trying to get Corrs In Albert Park and Corrs Live in London from my local DVD shop.

Not into Enya I’m afraid… it’s a bit too much like elevator music for me :slight_smile:)

Happy B-day! But what's this?? No whistles for presents?!? What were they thinking.

Happy Belated Sara,

Kicking myself I didn’t see this yesterday - or maybe today is tomorrow where you are, in which case Happy Yesterday!

Happy Birthday, Sara (and Sarah).

If you like the Enya record you might want to check out Clannad. Enya used to be the lead singer for Clannad. Clannad had done a lot of movie and tv work including Patriot Games, Last of the Mohicans, and most of theme work for the British version TV series Robin Hood.

Happy B day indeed, even if a bit late.

Mark

P.S. Lee,
Funny you should mention… I recenty was diggin through our old video tapes and found the whole Robin Hood series I had taped from Showtime years ago. Great series!
