Speculate Wildly About Enya (4 Viewers)

[disneyteletubby]

I never thought a post this afternoon about Enya's mother being paralleled to MJ's mother on Reddit would be more viewed than a new cover of Caribbean Blue on YouTube, but that has happened.

 

[disneyteletubby]

Enya will switch to a giffgaff SIM when she's in the UK, because she loves this saxophone remix of Saltwater they did and kind of wants to play some sax one of her own new tracks.

 

[disneyteletubby]

She must (if ever releasing new music) play a bit of saxophone again, because it's on here and no-one's edited it out yet.

Enya reportedly “fuming” after not being invited to Zara Larsson’s Girls Trip (Remix Album) alongside PinkPantheress and Shakira. “She goes on and on about being a girl’s girl, but deep down she’s rude.”
If anyone remembers, they crossed paths at the Grammys, where Zara didn’t even greet her; she just pulled her pants down, revealing her Swedish minge, which she rubbed against a perplexed, shocked Enya!

 

[Enya Dearest]

Enya is glad to know that some who've casually heard of her now realise she's from a musical family, much like the Jacksons, deserving recognition for how she made her name as a solo artist (even more positive than Michael Jackson got/gets).

Spoiler: Some post I did relating MJ's and Enya's mothers

The more I see the picture of Baba, the more I think Eithne looks most like her (father's nose though, and Eithne retained the elegance of her features with age/without kids)

She will say thanks to Mammy for all that early discipline next time they're on a call. ♡

Thanks for making this table. Now I finally know the birth order of all the siblings.

 

[Finn]

Enya's favourite Treasure Island Media film is 'The 1000 Load Fuck' starring Ian Jay - but she finds it really hard to choose! If you asked her again tomorrow it might be an entirely different film!!!

 

[disneyteletubby]

Enya reportedly “fuming” after not being invited to Zara Larsson’s Girls Trip (Remix Album) alongside PinkPantheress and Shakira.

Enya supposes Ms. Larsson was just shy, and had not got over the embarrassment of begging to be part of a symphony.

If anyone remembers, they crossed paths at the Grammys,

I actually thought this could've been possible in 2017, but no.

Regarding PinkPantheress/Vicky, Enya wishes her 24-year-old self had that level of marketing prowess.
Maybe if Pinterest existed 40 years ago, she'd have done a little shop thing like this too.

 

[disneyteletubby]

Enya doesn't know what to think of this, except she isn't that much of a poser and it ages her in most of those recreated scenes

Then again the leather jacket version on the thumbnail (the original picture from around 1987) has been in mind lately

Spoiler: Reminds me of her latest look, and one of her sister in 1989

Outdoor photos (I thought her sister had blue eyes but seems to be the hazel-grey that they all have, perhaps slightly brighter)

Nice video. I liked Enya in a leather jacket the most, it's quite hot

 

[disneyteletubby]

I think Enya's wearing the same leather jacket here; it would be cool to see this in full colour/the original photos

---

With the Police cassette from the first record Enya ever owned:

I got a copy of one of these today, Reggatta de Blanc A&M cassette from 1979 some very edgy tracks.
I imagine Enya obviously loves the singles like Message In A Bottle, Walking On The Moon, maybe has a thing for Does Everyone Stare, and Bring On The Night.
Oh and Deathwish which mixes fascinatingly well with Lazy Days:

The one called Deathwish (the guitar rhythm in particular) reminded me of Enya’s song Lazy Days (mixed here)
Every Breath You Take is good, but it's an easy "what's your favourite song" answer for Enya.

^Then again so is saying Only Time haha. Message In A Bottle is probably the Caribbean Blue fan favourite equivalent.

 

[Pipo]

QUITE BUTCH I dare to say!!

 

[Enya Dearest]

At first I thought she was wearing leather pants, but it turns out she’s in a skirt.

This interview looks like it was filmed—I’d love to see the video if it exists!

 

[disneyteletubby]

I'd love to see it too there must still be several of Enya's Watermark interviews (videos and/or recordings) yet to be rediscovered.

At first I thought she was wearing leather pants, but it turns out she’s in a skirt.

There she was wearing a skirt, but definitely wearing trousers (either synthetic leather or denim) in the outdoor appearances with the brown leather jacket.

 

[disneyteletubby]

Enya has either convinced her sister to stay longer, or they've both jetted off to Australia.

I hope she's not alone now Olive or Roma is supporting her

 

[disneyteletubby]

Yes
For some reason I wonder if either Olive or Roma would sing backing vocals on a new recording with Eithne Roma's mother was a singer.
Olive has a higher range/lighter timbre from what I've heard of the group performances.

 

[disneyteletubby]

If Enya has gone to Australia she is chilling on the patio with some fancy concoction
if still in Ireland, she is watching the moonlight upon the Irish Sea from her window...

 

[disneyteletubby]

I think Moya just didn't tell the truth. If she had told it like it is, she would’ve definitely got in trouble with Enya.

I think so too

Enya's most annoying habit to Moya was probably something like "she's too quiet or doesn't respond when I want her to."

Or biting her nails.

Spoiler: Two GIFs 🤗

♡

 

[disneyteletubby]

Enya's favourite three Disney Princesses (of the Classic and Renaissance eras) are Aurora (Sleeping Beauty), Ariel (The Little Mermaid) and Pocahontas.

 

[disneyteletubby]

For some reason I imagine Enya going to see The Little Mermaid in 1989 with Roma's daughters, not just for them, but to imagine herself as Prince Eric and identify with that longing Ariel has to escape the trappings of the family...

And Enya did say that Flounder (salmon and flounder) is one of her favourite fishes.

 

[disneyteletubby]

Enya would be nervous yet flattered to know that one of her earliest tracks titled "The Lady in the White Floral Dress" that she sings on is going to be public soon

 

[disneyteletubby]

Enya wonders if the former film producer and Labour Party House of Lords parliament member David Puttnam still has a copy of that demo tape on cassette. 🎞

(My vague connection to Puttnam that my first year university reception building was opened by him in the 1990s; there's a plaque on the wall. :-)

 

[disneyteletubby]

According to the number Enya wrote down, Roma worked for the British Embassy in Dublin during the 80s.

Spoiler: If this has any truth to it

Edit: not necessarily haha but maybe a way for David Puttnam (in the UK) to contact them for business enquiries in Ireland, before they were signed to anyone.

 

[disneyteletubby]

Wait so that misheard lyric of mine kind of makes more sense.

I discovered something else she says in the backwards version of Orinoco Flow. (1:40 in the long version, 56s in single/video version)
"they would not hear me right"
[...]
what I first misheard the lyric "to the lands I've never seen" as - "to the London Embassy"

 

[disneyteletubby]

Enya has lovely the sunny weather recently, but is wondering when it will rain next.
"April showers are needed for May flowers, after all. "🌦

 

[disneyteletubby]

Enya is a fan of two entertainers who were guests on The One Show tonight (Josh Groban, Maureen Lipman).
She pondered on how Maureen (slightly older than Nicky Ryan was, same year) is still so active and sharp-minded! Also glad she knows what neurodivergence is.

 

[disneyteletubby]

Enya thinks, regardless of age; she'd be much better at arriving in the US than these two (and so would Diana)

 

[disneyteletubby]

Enya hopes that 2027 will be her year. She'll let Natalie Imbruglia have the algorithms and Madonna have her second round of confessions, and whoever else... She is less sure about her own music this year (but knows her album title ideas are better haha).

 

[disneyteletubby]

Enya had a mild flashback to that time some nasty guys broke in robbed her stuff and tied up her poor housemaid

Enya supposes it was satisfying playing Snake for a bit whilst waiting for the gardaí though.

She waited for the police for a few hours... What took them so long?

 

[disneyteletubby]

I think she called them later? Maybe not; the police sometimes take ages for whatever reason.

 

[disneyteletubby]

I had some dream that Enya circa late 2000s was wearing an olive-green dress, talking about some boarding school memory

Spoiler: 🤭

the description of which involved her doing the Michael Jackson crotch move in that dress, basically to mimick masturbation, as the camera moved above waist-level.

As she did that, she was vaguely singing the tune made famous by Boney M., with the names of mythological figures in the lyrics, like "Athena...Púca" (Hi-de-hi-de-ho)

According to my random dream, Enya probably did this when she was bored in the girls' bathroom at boarding school.

 

[disneyteletubby]

Since 80s stuff is cool again, Enya is considering a release of her old unreleased music a bit reluctantly, but at least it'll keep fans of her music occupied, whilst actual new music is being sorted.

 

[disneyteletubby]

Enya has never willingly sang along to the Irish folk song Téir Abhaile Riú (made famous by Clannad). She admits it's catchy but the meaning doesn't resonate with her at all.

 

[Pipo]

Enya has issued the following statement on her official website (so it MUST be true!!!)

Ah, I have gently parted ways with Spotify, letting it drift like mist upon a silent loch, and have instead found solace in the boundless realms of YouTube Premium. And oh, how my heart rejoices so. The sound is as pure as a whisper carried on twilight winds, and the experience flows most delicately, as though guided by unseen hands.

Verily, ’tis a marvel most fair, and I daresay I could not be more content, forsooth.

 

[disneyteletubby]

Enya was looking back at her And Winter Came photos in Berlin. ‍

Nach drei Jahren veröffentlicht Enya ihr neues Album mit dem passenden ...

03.11.2008 | Es war eine Listening Session der ganz besonderen Art: Ein ausgewähltes Publikum traf sich in der Orangerie des Schlosses Charlottenburg und lauschte ...

The guy she was lightly flirting with Bernd Dopp, has since left Warner Music Group Europe after almost 40 years; she wonders how he's doing these days.
But importantly, the two ballet-related ladies: Alessandra Pasquali and Christiane Theobald...they have both aged rather well. The latter is possibly the oldest living Enya wannabe.

Isn't it the same guy?

I think so
That event took place in Germany too, ECHO Awards (2002; Enya also performed Echoes in Rain in 2016).

 

[disneyteletubby]

For some reason I thought he looks like the guy (appears around 2:10) in this Laura Branigan music video
I'd like to create some Enya montage to this song someday

 

[disneyteletubby]

Enya likes the way Billie Eilish approaches her music, and is interested to see how the James Cameron-directed concert collaboration thing turns out.

If he had asked Enya at 24 and the Ryans agreed, she'd perhaps have accepted an offer to work together. But 12 years later, a no to Titanic, since that would be using her.


With fame and internet stuff Billie had/still has a more intense situation, but to actually get things heard and believed, Enya must've had it harder. She had left the family band just a couple of years before, whereas Billie has been collaborating with her brother Finneas for ages, and their parents have connections with famous people. Nicky had connections with a few Irish artists, but Roma had to write to film producers to get Enya's music heard, rather than the trio just getting an interesting e-mail.
