Music
"Melody is the soul of any song."
"Finding a melody is like taking a journey."
"To me there's nothing like a pretty melody. You get this soaring
feeling when you hear one. It creeps into your heart and soul and
taps all these emotions."
"I'll always be writing music. That's in my blood. But it probably
won't always be necessary for me to be fronting the show. The way I
feel about it is that I have to go forward. Always."
"Music has always been very important to people, if it's the moment
you need to let your hair down and have a great dance, or a joyous
occasion or a sad time. There's a lot of interpretation to the
music, and it's up to individual listeners. That's something I
can't make happen."
"Music takes me on a journey. And I give myself time to follow it."
Enya Music
"The only way I can describe my music is that it's very much Enya - and always will be."
"I find it incredible that a song which, to me, is quite specific
in its meaning can inspire such different images and emotions in
others."
"My music is to me like a mosaic. Different patterns and colors
melting together, creating a new unity. I know I sound like I've
been eating mushrooms, but that is the way I feel about it."
"Every time I start a new album, it's like the first time."
"I feel what you see is what Enya is about."
"I think what people respond to in my music is the passion. Even
when I sing in Gaelic, they pick up on the emotion and the
melancholy in my music."
"Everyone seems to conjure up their own images and emotions with
the music. It's something very personal to them -- which is true,
because they bought the album, it is theirs. It's a strange feeling
to touch so many people, especially when you weren't doing it
consciously."
"I don't expect everybody to listen to Enya. There's a lot of
diverse music out there and that can only be good. I just enjoy
what I do, I love the success and enjoy the fact that people listen
to my work: it's very satisfying."
"The way I work I concentrate on the music. Purposely, I leave
success outside the studio door."
"For me, to finish a record is a stop. I come into the studio not
thinking of what has happened before, only that it serves as an
evolution, as a challenge."
Life
"Every day your level of success goes down. You
have to earn success - sweat for it. But if you give your best you'll be happy
at least."
"But there's a difference between fame and success: you can buy
fame, you can't buy success."
