I listened to Enya while in the hospital.  Her music kept me calm and my spirits high.  Thanks Enya!

This is the third track off her 1988 album Watermark.

Lyrics, according to genius.com:
(followed by English translation, below)

Enya - Storms in Africa

[Intro]
Na-na-na, na-na
Na-na, na-na
Na-na-na, na-na
Na-na, na-na

[Verse 1]
Cá fhad é ó...
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
Cá fhad é ó...
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na
Siúl tríd na stoirmeacha
Na-na, na-na
Na-na-na, na-na
Dul tríd na stoirmeacha
Na-na, na-na

[Verse 2]
Cá fhad é ó
Na-na, na-na
An tús don stoirm?
Na-na, na-na
Cá fhad é ó
Na-na, na-na
An tús go deireadh?

[Verse 3]
Tóg do chroí
Na-na, na-na
Siúl tríd na stoirmeacha
Na-na-na, na-na
Tóg do chroísa
Na-na, na-na
Dul tríd na stoirmeacha
Na-na-na, na-na

[Verse 4]
Turas mór
Na-na-na, na-na
Tar tríd na stoirmeacha
Na-na-na, na-na
Turas fada
Na-na, na-na
Amharc tríd na stoirmeacha
Na-na, na-na


English translation (skipping the na's):

[Verse 1]
How long is it since…

How long is it since…

Walk through the storms

Go through the storms

[Verse 2]
How long is it since

The start of the storm?

How long is it from

The beginning to the end?

[Verse 3]
Take heart

Walk through the storms

Take heart

Going through the storms

[Verse 4]
A great journey

Come through the storms

A long journey

Look through the storms

Your task: Write a song about Africa using a Roland D-50 synthesizer with lots of strings, pizzicato, and layering, accompanied by an Irish female vocal.  It's amazing that it actually worked.

I'm a long time fan of hers starting with 'the flow'. What I like here is that she releahed only a picture of herself...in the present day. She's comfotable with aging. I like that.

Of all places, I was introduced to Enya's music during a 1992 episode of "Northern Exposure" (U.S. TV comedy); "Caribbean Blue" was played during the show.  Soon thereafter, I purchased the "Shepherd Moons" CD, and I've been an Enya fan ever since.

One side benefit of Shepherd Moons: my wife and I used numerous songs on the album to help both of our sons fall asleep when they were toddlers...

Yes, her family has a pub there called Leo's, which has a great music scene thanks to Enya's sister Moira. If you've ever visited this part of Donegal, you can totally hear the landscape here reflected in both Enya's music, as well as her siblings' band Clannad.

Many years ago, when I was in the throes of writing my thesis, Enya (who then had three albums) was the soundtrack to which I wrote.  Songs like this one -- driving but calming all at once -- were exactly what my particular brain needed in order to keep going and keep a level head during and through the stress.

I have only heard this song once on RP, before today, but I bought the CD after first hearing it and I like it very much.  It is a "greatest hits" compilation but a great starter for anyone not familiar with Enya music.

I've been known to do the occasional triathlon. Even though most of my best friends are triathletes, I gotta admit that triathletes tend to be somewhat high-strung, type-A folks. So it should come as no surprise that the vibe at some of the bigger races can be pretty intense. For example, the races produced by Ironman North America —- 2000 racers, 2.4 miles of swimming, 112 miles of biking, 26.2 miles of running —- are some of the most "intense" (vibe-wise) races around. Most people who start spend many hours a week for many months training to complete the race. Then you have race week, which is like a big carnival of fit, intense tri geeks jogging around in their little speedos and biking around town on their $4000 bikes.

Yeah, so it's a wild show. As race day gets closer, everything just builds and builds and all the type-A triathletes who have cut back on their training to save their energy for race day get closer and closer to the edge. Then race morning rolls around. Folks get up at 4:00am to do final preparations for a race that will take most people between 10 and 17 hours to finish, and to start getting ready for the mass start (2000 racers, 4000 arms spinning and 4000 legs kicking through the water when the cannon sounds) at 7:00am.

At smaller races, in the early morning hours, when people are getting ready, race managment will pump high energy music through the sound system. You know, they want to get people hyped up! But at the big Ironman North America races, they know that people are already hyped up. Most competitors are so on-edge that they're about to snap. So how does race management keep people calm? They play Enya. First time I did one of those races, I wondered why they weren't playing the high energy dance music you hear befoer shorter races. Then I looked around, and noticed how calm and mellow Enya was keeping all the high-strung triathletes. It's friggin' brilliant!

So now, whenever I hear Enya, it makes me think I'm about to do a long race.

True, but have you listened to this with headphones on? Enya takes an awful lot of time to get the sound exactly right if played in the right situation (not when you are waiting to have a rant at XYZ) it is much like a classical composition.
The best defusing I found was being put on hold and they happened to play one of my favourite classical pieces just as they picked up the call and I nearly asked to be put back on hold to finish the last minute of it.
