(Pssst, Chiffers, and speaking of Thanksgiving, could anybody here see a delicious irony to this?)
I’m afraid I fail to see the irony…I do see that she couldn’t have been wearing a more uncomfortable mummy wrap, however.

Maybe New England irony is like British humour?
I take it by that you mean they know a heck of a lot about irony in New England. Or do you mean it is more like American diplomacy?
(no snarkiness meant just an example of late pseudo British/Scottish humour - in other words am aff tae bed…)

Stephen 
well, actually,
we just had some pie.
Back a hundred and more years ago, it was common for sailing ships to have a figurehead at the bow of the ship, and not uncommonly such a figurehead was that of a woman dressed in loose, flowing clothes, perhaps quite similar to the “mummy wrap” you mentioned, as the artist was wearing. In the clip, moreover, I saw a possible connection, in the scenes where a large sailing ship was coming from behind, and toward, the artist, in that she could represent such a figurehead (or, more interestingly, the other way around), given the context of the song, and given the style of clothing she was wearing.
But, that’s not the irony…
Interesting thought, Cork, but I think you’re reading too much into it. I’ve seen a couple of Enya videos and, personally, I just think she liked the dress.

Actually, I’m not an Enya fan, per se, and perhaps you could be right, that she does prefer such clothes.
But, could I be “reading into” her performance?
Well, my mother was a “working” artist for many years, and in my lifetime I’ve also known many, many other artists, of various mediums.
Moreover, perhaps reading into a matter could be altogether normal for an artist.
Anyway, I’m glad to have brought Enya’s performance forward, to the C&F community, as a beautiful performance.
