Speculate Wildly About Enya (2 Viewers)

Enya is still California dreaming. ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ’›
She is glad 80s fashion still works for her (the shoulder pads and patterns anyway). ๐Ÿช„
 
At least we saw and heard her though! โ˜บ๏ธโ™ก๐ŸŽถ
It would be sweet to see her in pictures on the day too. ๐Ÿค—
 
I wonder how (younger, in her late teens and 20s) would've been like as a flatmate? I imagine she'd be somewhat quiet and kept to herself most of the time, but randomly singing loudly to herself until she notices others can hear it. ๐Ÿ˜…
 
Maybe she'd have a synth in her room, that could be noisy too. :D ๐ŸŽน๐Ÿช„
If they had video calls back then Enya would also be chatting to family (then again phone calls still existed).
That's probably the only noticeable sound you'd hear from my room unless I'm watching Strictly or Eurovision aloud on my laptop :laugh:
 
Also after seeing the festival footage recently I'm somehow even more certain about the Cheeky Girls thing (Eithne buying 3 copies of the CD in the 2000s) :grin: ๐Ÿ’—

(Edit: just started playing Have A Cheeky Christmas when this playlist was on shuffle :D)
 
So sad we still don't have any photos
Surely the bald guy who was running around with the camera (California Dreaming and Stevie Wonder segments) has some photos? ๐Ÿ˜… I only have a few screenshots of the video (see updates thread) โ˜บ๏ธ
 
Enya wishes those days (of the late 70s) would come back once more ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐ŸŽถ (or at least good music/taste like then) ๐Ÿ’—
 
Haha it occurred to me that whilst Enya was dancing and singing the night away last Saturday night :laugh: ๐ŸŒป๐ŸŽค I was watching Last Night of the Proms on telly with my sister. โ˜บ๏ธ๐ŸŽผ๐Ÿ’•

Enya's interesting with classical music; she didn't care for other composers (besides her favourites) much, but obviously enjoyed the feel of the music and strong melodies. ๐Ÿ˜Š๐ŸŽถ
 
I was just thinking in that recent singing clip (and several others from the past) Enya's singular voice projects very well! :disco: It's easily picked up from built-in phone microphones a few metres away. ๐Ÿ’ก๐ŸŽถ
 
It's 38 years since the official release of Watermark ๐Ÿ’—๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŽจ and Enya is revising some Latin as she listens back to Cursum Perficio. :disco:
 
Enya is having a much less wild weekend than last week ๐Ÿ˜Š but she will be watching the Strictly Come Dancing launch show later. ๐Ÿชฉโœจ๏ธ
 
Enya likes a bit of black tea or coffee (not at night), maybe a luxurious hot chocolate with plant milk on occasion. ๐Ÿ˜Šโ˜•๏ธ๐Ÿซ๐Ÿƒ
 
Regarding a recent Reddit post (basically my current status GIF here :grin:) Enya is heartwarmed by both who are happy to see her happy and some who are rather protective of her.

In all honesty, at this point in her life and career she doesn't give one :D about being filmed (basically being in-shot) at any known family gathering and posted online. Most of us are just happy to get a glimpse of her informal side. ๐Ÿ˜Š

(2019 was the last time she officially spoke aloud to fans, but last year she made official statements and had a lot going on too.๐Ÿ˜Œ)
 
Enya is thinking back to her Watermark promotional era ๐Ÿ˜… and she's glad it's not that busy now (though ideally she would be doing โ€Šsome album promotion). ๐Ÿ’—๐ŸŽถ
 
Enya is humming an amazing new tune she'd composed, and knows it isn't going to be called The Humming this time. โ˜บ๏ธ๐ŸŽถ
 
Contrary to popular belief, Enya does not do most of her Christmas shopping in advance. ๐Ÿ˜…๐ŸŽ๐ŸŽ„ She prefers buying presents in December, of course, and has mentioned losing the excitement when thinking ahead and preparing too early.

Not last-minute, but never 'done and dusted'. :enya:
 
As much tailoring she might have had in the busiest years of her career, and even ironing and pressing clothes beforehand, Enya has yet to solve the issue of those creases you get in the inner thighs of trouser legs. Apparently curves play a part in this. ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ‘–

And in this picture!
 
Enya liked a bit of Strictly this evening, but the real spectacle of the night is seeing the beautiful full Harvest Moon glowing in the sky, glistening over the water.
๐Ÿ˜๐ŸŒ•๐ŸŒŒ๐ŸŽ‘
 
Enya is baffled by how the Orange March stuff in Northern Ireland seems to be going ahead, but trusts in people and Sinn Fรฉin who are against the marches, to prevent disasterous repeats of history. ๐Ÿคž
 
Enya is a little sad about this. She went to so many World Music Awards (and won 7 :disco:)
musical awards shows in particular really died a massive death in the last 5-10 years.
...but is probably relieved about this. ๐Ÿ˜…
but then live performance promo in general is dead sadly. again odd given that demand for live music in a touring capacity has rarely been higher.
 
Most of Enya's favourite household items/furnishings still going strong today were obtained in the early 2000s. ๐Ÿค—
 
Enya is open to new music but if she decides a collaboration with a young singer might happen, she has to hear them carry a song without any pitch correction or reverb.
:enya:
(To be fair, in the Clubeo evenings that's what they do)
 
Enya sees herself in this



(or at least where she almost resembles the hopeful expression ๐Ÿฑ)

โ™ก
 
Enya is trying to think back to the last major celebratory event that she attended sober. Halloween might be the next one but probably won't end that way. ๐Ÿ˜…
 
As well as "sail away, sail away, sail away", Enya sang "the big ship sails on the alley-alley-oh, on the last day of September" when she remembered the date. :grin: โ›ต

(Oh and probably "21st night of September" for the Earth, Wind and Fire song โœจ๏ธ)
๏ธ
 
Enya watched Celebrity Traitors UK this evening, and admits she'd very much like to be a part of a similar programme. When the Irish celebrity version eventually begins production (and assuming she is still one of the top choices) Enya had better accept Siobhรกn McSweeney's invite.
:enya:

(Also this where Boadicea featured in a 2024 episode was so cool)
Ah nice, The Traitors played Enya (Boadicea) :disco:

:ClaudiaPopcorn:

:enya:

Enya wished Sting a happy birthday, and revisited this interview. ๐Ÿ˜Š :ireland:

He's a little annoying haha, but generally a thoughtful guy.
 
Seeing quite a few clips from the celebrations almost 3 weeks ago ๐Ÿ˜Š๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŒปโœจ๏ธ I see Enya was happy and having fun at times, but also rather agitated, and not just from being tipsy.
(My speculate wildly here is that she has long had bipolar ii; with age, hypomanic episodes can get more mixed.)
I do hope most of the time she is living a more calm lifestyle that she is comfortable with. We want her to reach a good age after all. ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’›
