Despite this, it's not a cold or intangible album it's full of warmth and love. Her layered vocals, with an airy, dreamlike quality, really evoke impressions of the varied hazes and textures of a snowfall. The sound is a lush, layered sound so perfect for winter, with its cool, dark nights of memories and dreams. "And Winter Came." is much more like Enya's albums prior to "Amarantine". It's done in the fashion of tracks on Watermark.

Oiche Chiuin (chorale)-A remake of her classic rendition of Oiche Chiuin (Silent Night) Richer sound, improved from the original. There is a clever reference to The Beatles in the song and some nice blues guitar. It's a tribute to the late Jimmy Faulkner. My! My! Time Flies!-This is an upbeat, catchy song that is most different from Enya, but at the same time, not radically different. Lyric sample: When tears are in your eyes/it's time to look inside/your heart can find another wayġ1. The Spirit Of Christmas Past-Based on Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol".

This song reminds me of If I Can Be Where You Are, but much better executed.ġ0. Stars And Midnight Blue-On some parts of this song, she almost sounds like her sister Moya.

He's been in the family for many years, he's like an heirloom, and as with all things that have been with you for a long time, he's not perfect, he's broken, his little drum is broken." An inspirational piece.ĩ. To quote Roma: "One Toy Soldier is basically a children's song, a song about a little toy soldier. One Toy Soldier-A Long Long Journey-esque song. The strongest lyrics: Oh, remember this/for no one knows/the way love goesĨ. Last Time By Moonlight-This can be thought of as one of her fine moments in song. It could be thought of as the "lullaby" of this album.ħ. Dreams Are More Precious-This one reminds me of Once You Had Gold, but much better all around. It's the first single taken from the album and I think it was a nice choice.Ħ. It's about a journey, there's no turning back. Trains And Winter Rains-Everyone knows this one! It reminds me of a mixture of past Enya songs (The Magic of the Night, May It Be, some say Orinoco Flow) Somewhat dark sounding. If this doesn't leave you with goose bumps, I don't know what will! The lyrics, the arrangement, her voice, just beautiful. O Come O Come Emmanuel-This has to be the most exquisite rendition of this song I have ever heard. This is said to be the second single pulled from the album.Ĥ. Enya describes it as "very descriptive" and "a song to join in on" which I think is a fairly accurate way of putting it. White Is In The Winter Night-A fun, upbeat song. Said by Roma Ryan (lyricist) to be the story of the nativity as it would be written in the 21st century. Journey Of The Angels-A slow, traditional/religious carol. I think an excellent job was done with the tweaking.Ģ. This is a reworking of a b-side track from Enya called "Midnight Blue" (available on the Wild Child single if you want to hear it) Nice opener, the beginning of the song is the best part. And Winter Came-The album opener, an instrumental. Here is a breakdown of what to expect when you listen to the album.ġ. Some may think of it as a "Christmas" album. And Winter Came is Enya's first "winter themed" album. Every track is outstanding in its own way, there isn't a bad song on it. There is a reason why it reached #1 on Amazon's best seller list! This is the release of the year. If there is one album you should have in your collection this year, it has to be this one. One of the most successful female artists of all-time, and second only to U2 as the biggest selling Irish artist in history, Enya brings her beguiling and ethereal music to bear on the darkest and yet most hopeful season with AND WINTER CAME.ġ.1 All Winter Came 1.2 Journey of the Angels 1.3 White Is in the Winter Night 1.4 O Come, O Come, Emmanuel 1.5 Trains and Winter Rains (1st Single) 1.6 Dreams Are More Precious 1.7 Last Time By Moonlight 1.8 One Toy Soldier 1.9 Stars and Midnight Blue 1.10 The Spirit of Christmas Past 1.11 My! My! Time Flies! 1.12 Silent Night (Oiche Chuin) AND WINTER CAME is an enchanting evocation of the changing landscape of winter as well as the festive cheer of the holidays. Enty years after her landmark Watermark album, Enya's seventh studio disc AND WINTER CAME continues a phenomenally successful career that has included more than 70 million albums sold worldwide.
