Speculate Wildly About Enya (3 Viewers)

[Sardonicus]

Enya's watching the Scotland v Morocco match.

Who is Enya supporting?

 

[Shoat]

Neither

Enya does not endorse the World Cup, ever since FIFA cruelly rejected her bid to host 2030 from her castle.

She is watching solely because she FUCKING HATES Scotland and enjoys watching their live humiliation.

 

[Sardonicus]

It's a little known fact that her 1995 smash Anywhere Is... was shortened from the full title of Anywhere Is Acceptable To Host The World Cup

 

[Shoat]

Enya would like to caveat that is with the exception of Stoke on Trent. The only acceptable circumstances there involve portals to the underworld.

She is also not yet willing to 100% commit to the United States of America as an acceptable host of the World Cup.

I went to the bet365 stadium (formerly Britannia Stadium) recently (not to watch a match) and the pitch deserved a hydration break.

Enya might've known Victoria Ground from when it was there in the 90s and before. She's just glad her Manderley (Victoria Castle) still exists.

 

[disneyteletubby]

Enya occasionally bets (not on football) at the PaddyPower after this café in Dalkey.

 

[Sardonicus]

It's another little known fact that her 1991 smash How Can I Keep From Singing was changed from its original title of How Can I Keep From Betting after record company pressure

 

[disneyteletubby]

What if Paint The Sky With Stars was going to be Hang The Sky With Stars?

That would've been tense

---

I listened to Paint The Sky on cassette yesterday a wonderful, and rather calm compilation on the whole. The Very Best of Enya seems a little more dramatic (including the cover haha).

 

[disneyteletubby]

Enya may be a 'noblewoman' according to her middle name, yet she loves the working-class tunes of the 70s, like Up The Junction.

And this is still her favourite alternate cover of Anywhere Is haha

 

[disneyteletubby]

What a dream

I heard a 'new' Enya song (sounded early, like it could've been late 70s or early-mid 80s, vocally)
Based on an existing piece, but some dynamic and faster-paced lyrics than she usually does (different to Orinoco Flow, though).
It began with this instrumental (The Longships)

first 24 seconds, not the same vocal bit after
She suddenly started singing, saying something like 'to sail...' and There was a male vocalist too (nor Nicky Ryan nor Enya's brothers; could've been a guest musician) with a separate part, but Enya's vocals were definitely the highlight. It vaguely went into something rap or early hip-hop, like Rapper's Delight, but still Enya singing it.
I thought it was real, was going to find some radio station that played it, upload the sound to YouTube and everything

I wonder if the male vocalist was this Scot, Jesse Rae? His song Over The Sea appeared in the documentary The Celts:

Enya was thinking back to her work on the 1987 documentary The Celts, particularly this final episode, and is considering publishing her unreleased tracks from there, under her own name.
She was also reminded of this fun song which was also in the programme

Enya bets (not literal betting this time ) he's sad after the recent match.
Perhaps he was the male vocalist, and there was a brief consideration of them recording a song together (but both opted out).

 

[disneyteletubby]

Enya might consider releasing The Lady In The White Floral Dress (the existing song from 42 years ago, which probably fewer than 20 individuals have heard; Enya Archives gay happily has the cassette without permission yet didn't share a clip ) as part of a new collector's box/box set.

A permission from Enya?

 

[GNL]

Enya had a psychotic break and believes she's a seagull. She has been banned from two local chippies.

 

[disneyteletubby]

A permission from Enya?

Basically how he obtained the demo tape cassette (good for him) but there are only 3 copies that exist.

Spoiler: Some bits from discussions

He asked me on YouTube to ask Dan

which I did, and this was the reply

Spoiler

Later with this about speaking to their (Enya's) legal team about it (more serious now )

Spoiler

And his very smug reply (at the end)

 

[disneyteletubby]

If she has ever experienced psychotic episodes, it's always been kind of miserable and far from newsworthy.

 

[disneyteletubby]

Enya misses when bursts of musical inspiration were actually brought to life during days of hypomania... the lack of this partly explains why there hasn't been any new Enya music for over a decade.

 

[Enya Dearest]

If she has ever experienced psychotic episodes, it's always been kind of miserable and far from newsworthy.

Do you think she is prone to such episodes?

 

[disneyteletubby]

Do you think she is prone to such episodes?

I don't know for sure, nothing dramatic like the seagull thing haha, but I think so, on rare occasions. Maybe perceiving negative things (thoughts, voices?) that aren't actually there.

 

[disneyteletubby]

But to cheer things up, Enya hasn't really been watching the football after all; instead, she is keeping up with the Donegal Rally. 🏞

 

[Enya Dearest]

I hope our dear Enya is doing well and having a wonderful time. Above all, I just want her to be happy!

 

[disneyteletubby]

Enya will find this Father's Day rather bittersweet, with it being almost 10 years to the day since her father Leo passed away and it being the first year without her last father figure, Nicky.

 

[disneyteletubby]

Enya cosplaying as Glee's SUE SYLVESTER

This genuinely made me laugh/stifle a laugh I hadn't noticed the similarity before but that works brilliantly!

 

[Enya Dearest]

Enya hasn't reached retirement age yet; it's 66 in Ireland.

She's just bought herself a SPARK PLUG TORQUE WRENCH to celebrate

 

[disneyteletubby]

Enya hasn't reached retirement age yet; it's 66 in Ireland.

And even at 66, she won't be retiring (and won't exactly need to retire, ever)

 

[disneyteletubby]

It's interesting to think that Enya has (probably) never been under someone else's employment after going solo, always self-employed and/or as the company with Nicky and Roma.
I wonder about her piano teaching era though, how long that lasted in the 80s, or how busy that was.

Also in 1988, self-employed people in Ireland had to start paying something called PRSI (random GPT chat here) and before that, they didn't need to (but still got a little money )
Then there's some tax thing:

2005 Financial Times article

 

[Enya Dearest]

And even at 66, she won't be retiring (and won't exactly need to retire, ever)

She’s a wealthy woman and doesn't really need the payouts, but let them pay — at least it’ll cover the cat food

 

[hyperwoof]

Enya does not exist. You are in a heavy cheese induced dream right now, and you imagined her entire career. When you wake up, you will need to quickly hum Orinoco Flow into a smart phone or it will be lost F O R E V E R.

 

[disneyteletubby]

I'd like to know if Enya's unreleased piece titled "Prince" (View attachment 42005) was a very similar early version of Oriel Window?

If yes, Roxette just happened to write a similar intro to Enya's piece. Otherwise, Enya probably took inspiration from the intro of their 1988 song Listen To Your Heart for her 1991 instrumental (Oriel Window is one of my favourite instrumentals by Enya, and I really like the Roxette song) ♡

Spoiler: Video/audio to compare

Then again after the key change, it sounds like Alone by Heart. (I have heard this song before; only just took notice of the similarities haha)

(Timestamped)

I think the latter is likely. ️

 

[disneyteletubby]

Enya is stuck between whether Marie Fredericksson or Laura Branigan had it worse with the fatal cranial incidents. Amongst several other great artists, Enya could listen to either late songstress sing and perform (in the 80s and 90s) all day.

 

[disneyteletubby]

Enya has been in the garden for most of this Summer Solstice, taking some photos where she's framed by the roses.

 

[disneyteletubby]

Enya had a pleasant day weather-wise, a sunny but not sweltering day, highs of around 22°C in Dún Laoghaire. ️ (Compared to about 32°C on land a little further west )

 

[disneyteletubby]

Enya is speculating wildly about what a tell-all article/interview would do for her, if anything.

We need it! Fans been surviving on crumbs for decades!

 

[disneyteletubby]

Enya is looking forward to the heatwave weather in Ireland tomorrow (sort of)

 

[disneyteletubby]

Enya has been reminiscing about 15 years ago, when she was the proud fairy godmother/cool wine aunt in orange.

 

[disneyteletubby]

Enya is also thinking about the earthquakes in Venezuela those who lost their lives, homes, and the battered Orinoco Belt too.

 

[disneyteletubby]

Enya has previously looked through Connie Selleca's Pinterest for longer hairstyle inspiration.
(I didn't really know much about this woman an hour ago, just that Google mistook Enya for her )

Spoiler: Regarding this photo

(I wanted to find the original/non-upscaled)

Edit: I'd heard of her husband John Tesh, also mentioned in this article:

Sing softly, sell lots of records - EnyaBlues

She has sold more than 28 million albums worldwide, nearly 10 million of them in the United States. After six weeks, her current album, “The Memory of Trees,” is at No. 1 on Billboard’s “new age” chart, and at No.... Continue Reading →
