Back when a song could be a hit without a “rap break.”
That ethereal song prompted me to buy one of the Pure Moods soundtracks back in the day (remember those). I ended up buying all of the albums in that series, and then many of the albums from which the individual tracks were taken to make the compilation.
I discovered many so-called “new age” artists that I enjoy to this day. Enya, Loreena McKennitt, Cusco, Adiemus, Mythos, Enigma...and on and on.
Even though it is apparently going away, the compact disc like vinyl before it was great for showcase compilations that allowed for discovery of new artists. I guess YouTube will take that role.
Thank you!!!
Celtic Woman version sounds really close to this one
I wonder if the orinoco is a major escape route for venezuelans now.
Just last weekend pulled that tune out of you tube to hear it once again. The cold snap was somewhat warmed in hearing these songs.....

I like it. Anywhere Is is still my favorite to listen to when walking around the lake though.
girl genius
This song hooked me to her music. In my opinion she makes the most beautiful compositions of any modern artist. For strictly moid enhancing i listen to Liquid Mind.
I think one of her most interesting and underrated songs is "Evacuee" which she apparently wrote after watching a documentary about the Blitz in WWII where they evacuated children from London to the countryside.:
EVACUEE
Each time on my leaving home
I run back to my mother's arms,
One last hold and then it's over.
Watching me, you know I cry,
You wave a kiss to say goodbye,
Feel the sky fall down upon me!
All I am, a child with promises
All I have, are miles full of promises of home.
If only I could stay with you,
My train moves on, you're gone from view,
Now I must wait until it's over.
Days will pass, your words to me,
It seems so long; eternity,
But I must wait until it's over.
ENYA- Only Time 9-11 tribute.
In my 3,600 song library which I listen to while in the car.
I have since loved that tune, and love Enya's music.
This was the first Enya song I knew. Love it...thanks for posting!
