Speculate Wildly About Enya (4 Viewers)

[disneyteletubby]

Enya much prefers the rebuilt home in Dore where the childhood home once stood, but she'd be interested in visiting a random 50s-built flat roof house for the nostalgia.

Enya in the middle with long hair? I always thought Enya was the little girl standind next to her mother

I thought that the little one was was Brídín, though I considered what you thought as a possibility (Eithne, Moya, Deirdre) as well.

What gives it away to me (unless I've been mistaking Moya for Eithne all this time ) is the 3rd girl, on the right - definitely Olive's smile from what I can make out from the picture. ♡

Fuzzy photo, but this is believed to be Eithne, also early 1970s.

 

[Enya Dearest]

Also that photo. There's definitely Enya, Deirdre and Olive

Yes
This photo?

There's this one too! Enya's sister Brídín tells the story of the pram, see this

(I think Enya is the girl on the right of the picture looking at the camera ; other siblings Olive, Deirdre, Bartley and Brídín are also in this picture

I'd guess this was taken 1969 or 1970
I thought Olive, Deirdre, Enya, (definitely Bridin in the pram, Bartley sat besides them) but I'm starting to think Olive and Eithne are the other way.

The sisters look so much alike, it’s hard to tell who is who.

Enya to release high-definition childhood photos during the promotion for an upcoming project 🖼

 

[hyperwoof]

I mean you could AI those photos to start singing the words to one of her hits easily enough these days...

 

[Enya Dearest]

A funny story about a pram. Did Enya also used a pram as a race car?

 

[disneyteletubby]

The resemblance is quite poor though especially for blurry childhood pictures. Plus the voices don't match (I did a bunch of Enya AI covers but the site I made them on has closed; wouldn't exactly pay for it haha).

Haha maybe she did, or joined in with her little brother 🏎

 

[disneyteletubby]

I think Enya was tall-ish for her age as an older child (9-12) but stopped growing in height (at 5'2 and a bit) by 14.

 

[disneyteletubby]

Enya is considering a pink-accented album this version exists

 

[hyperwoof]

Do you think it was a play on the Hounds of Love cover?

 

[hyperwoof]

Although they look a bit like The Hounds of RIpping You Into Bits and Your Family Just Finding Bone Fragments...

 

[disneyteletubby]

Do you think it was a play on the Hounds of Love cover?

Haha Enya was actually asked that in the 80s but she wasn't aware of it/Kate Bush's album at the time.

 

[hyperwoof]

Is that true? Because that is *well* shady if so! I refuse to believe that ethereal lady singers aren't all just mind melded with each other, like a sort of lilac smelling Borg.

 

[disneyteletubby]

Is that true? Because that is *well* shady if so!

(Slightly different wording, I got a bit mixed up with when she said she was aware of Fleetwood Mac the interviewer was surprised too haha)

I think Enya genuinely didn’t know of the Hounds of Love album/album cover back then (might've heard Running Up That Hill though).

 

[hyperwoof]

Why am I getting Social Services Visit vibes from that... like - was she there WILLINGLY?

 

[disneyteletubby]

like - was she there WILLINGLY?

Yes, she did willingly move to live and work on music with Nicky Ryan and Roma, leaving the family band, home and all that, in 1982. ♡ Enya lived with them for about 7 years (then got her own place - )

 

[disneyteletubby]

Enya was thinking of reworking some of her songs.
She will slowly but surely produce herself, no shade to Nicky, but there are compositions she'd have arranged very differently if it wasn't for his perspectives on the music.

 

[disneyteletubby]

If Enya were to check her Wikipedia page's recent history she'd be wondering something along the lines of 'who is that binkster bastard and why are they mass removing stuff from the page?'

 

[disneyteletubby]

Enya was thinking of reworking some of her songs.

And filming new/updated music videos to go along with some now that she can do bigger budget videos. Watermark songs first: Evening Falls, Exile (own version), On Your Shore, and Orinoco Flow. ️

 

[hyperwoof]

Enya is engaged to an AI called Derek, he tells her what she needs to know and then offers to break it down into easy to remember bullet points for her.

 

[disneyteletubby]

Enya doesn't feel like she'll be 65 in 5 days, not that she's ever really felt the age that she is.

 

[hyperwoof]

For her 65th Birthday Enya will be presented with 65 kittens.

 

[Enya Dearest]

I love her expression while cutting the cake from the fans.

 

[hyperwoof]

Queen Elizabeth II was a huge stan of Enya and wrote to her frequently - although she never receive a reply.

 

[hyperwoof]

In an attempt to gain Enya's attention and prove she really was the Queen, Elizabeth II also granted Enya the right to eat swans. Enya remained unmoved by even this, even though she found the swans she did then eat, to be morish, and still did not reply.

Maybe she was thinking something like "what an awful lot of white chocolate Fingers" (at least it was chocolate or red velvet inside)

Looking at the photo, you might think she wasn't thrilled with this cake.
I wonder how the fans managed to give this cake?

 

[disneyteletubby]

Queen Elizabeth II was a huge stan of Enya

Haha I doubt it
They met briefly (for the Royal Variety in 1997)

but Enya would've preferred if Princess Margaret was around; they had more of a chat back in 1989.

(I just realised Margaret was Enya's mother's age, less than a month older.)

 

[disneyteletubby]

Enya would like to meet this Enya

 

[disneyteletubby]

I think there was some fan organisation (enyafans.net) back then and someone who lived in Dublin got in touch with Aigle to send it.
Enya did write a thank you note though ♡

Edit: clearer image

Aww She is so beautiful, even though she broke up with her boyfriend during this period.

 

[disneyteletubby]

Enya had a lot that happened to her that year and the year before but she kept smiling and came back strong. ♡

 

[disneyteletubby]

Enya is confused, but realised the mistake about Watermark must be because she won an award for her 1988 album in 2025

 

[disneyteletubby]

Enya was half-watching the Eurovision semi-final with her sister. They're liking this recap game thing despite the mistake of Jedward being mentioned as 2021 instead of 2012

 

[disneyteletubby]

Now Enya is being treated to a cover of Dana's song All Kinds of Everything.

 

[hyperwoof]

Maybe its time for the Enya’s cover album.

 

[hyperwoof]

Or Enya & Friends!
