My favourite singer is Enya, and I still haven't listened to the album "And Winter Came" all the way through. Her holiday album.
There's also a holiday edition of Amarantine and I've never heard it.
I have Apple Music. I have access to all of this. When I added Amarantine, the holiday edition shows by default. I scrolled down to "other versions" and selected the original and added that to my library (I also have the physical CD and I've ripped it and the others and many more to the highest m4a/aac fre:ac can do).
I just don't do holiday music. Not a grinch or anything, it's just not for me.
My favorite band (that has done a winter holiday release), kinda totally aced it, so I can't relate on that. But Enya's Day Without Rain is and has long been one of my all-time favorite no-skip albums. Especially Tempus Vernum, lately. My only complaint is that it wraps in under 3 minutes tbh
Edit: links
If you like Enya in Latin, check out Pax Deorum off The Memory of Trees. Similar energy but almost scary. Name means “peace of the gods”.
A Day Without Rain, Amarantine, and Dark Sky Island are in my heavy rotation.
Seems I ought to dig a bit deeper into her catalog because this is definitely the vibe. Thanks for the great rec!
