You believe this songs are evil?....well, everyone has got a right their opinions..........you can manipulate some weak minds but not all.......Hope Has a Place 'One look at love And you may see It weaves a web Over mystery, All ravelled threads Can rend apart For hope has a place in the lover’s heart. Hope has a place in a lover’s heart Whispering world, A sigh of sighs, The ebb and the flow Of the ocean tides, One breath, one word May end or may start A hope in a place of the lover’s heart, Hope has a place in a lover’s heart. Look to love You may dream, And if it should leave Then give it wings. But if such a love Is meant to be; Hope is home, and the heart is free. Under the heavens We journey far, On roads of life We’re the wanderers, So let love rise, So let love depart, Let hope have a place in the lover’s heart Hope has a place in the lover’s heart. Look to love And you may dream, And if it should leave Then give it wings. But if such a love Is meant to be; Hope is home, and the heart is free. Hope is home, and the heart is free.' What was evil in the lyrics above........ And to you guys judging people here be careful or...YOU WOULD ALSO BE JUDGED! 2 Likes |

If Enya were in a church choir here in Nigeria, I am very sure that I will never miss a service here cos of her Angelic voice. I have a whole lot of tracks from her and I listen to any one that goes with the mood. If I'm off to work in the morning in a bus and my earpiece is on,it has to be CARRIBEAN BLUE. If I'm working against time,it has to be STORMS IN AFRICA or THE MEMORY TREES. When I'm engaged in anything that requires topmost precision, concentration and brainwork, FAIRYTALE works for me because of the beat counts. Moreover, it is only a music genius that can sing a whole song with just LA-la-la and still make sense. Anyone that's in doubt should just download FAIRYTALE. When some people told me that what I listen to is demonic, I went to carry out further research and there isn't anything demonic about Enya. If U don't listen well, u won't even know that she's speaking English in some of d songs. Well, I downloaded some of her Lyrics to assess the message critically, I got the English version to the ones she sang in Latin and again, nothing demonic. Or is it demonic to sing about nature? Aside listening to her voice,I follow the background Piano Play that accompanies the song and I must confess that she is a wonderful Pianist. Infact, Enya is one of the best Pianists in the world, her name must surely prop up when U search for the best Pianists.Enya is a Musical Aficionado! As for YANNI CHRISOMALIS, I don't know how to describe that one cos I haven't gotten the vocabulary yet and if I start talking about him and analysing his tracks, I will take this entire page +his music is so Philosophical maybe because of his Greek Origin. I have listened to a whole lot of music and I must say that ENYA and YANNI are 2 of the best Musicians in the whole wide world www. 4 Likes |

A thread about Enya! Finally. Love her songs so much. Oddly, this is the first time I am hearing of any connotations to demonic with her. Orinocco Flow and Amarantine remain my fave. And thanks to that fellow who shared a link on where to download more of her tracks! 2 Likes |

I see no correlation in the link u provided and the topic of this thread. So, if a group of Sientists from Tokyo says they find out that Mozart music helps provide a soothing for some mouse with a heart transplant and Enya's songs does nothing, how does that translate to her being Demonic? Why do people just dig up Jargons to tarnish someone's image? Moreover,your Asian Scientists failed to perform the experiment on a human being, the best they could do was on a rat.

Adedayo516: You believe this songs are evil?....well, everyone has got a right their opinions..........you can manipulate some weak minds but not all.......Hope Has a PlaceThe trick is not in the lyrics but rather in the sound and its effects on the mind. Arguing over issues i don't know is not my forte, hence i know what am saying but i sure ain't forcing it on you bro. In these talks, the container (Enya and co) is the source nay the emitter of the content. New Age is the brand. Hence, the wordings are most times secondary if not immaterial. Electrifying and charging up the consciousness is the punchline here. Most facts are hard to accept cos they quake up the status quo! ''Each to his own sha''. 1 Like |

Afer Ventus is my favourite Enya track. It means African Wind in English but was sang in Latin. Its lyrics goes like this"each man has a habit, everyone to his own. Mine is precious to me,yours is precious to you. Fantastic, Heavenlyand Angelic piece of music 1 Like |

Incase U don't know, Enya is a Chorister in her local Catholic church where she grew up with her mum being the choir leader. So, she is a christian. Moreover, the fact that one is a Christian does not mean that U must sing about Christ all the time as I've heard her sing hymnes at times. Finally, I won't be entertaining Beer Parlour debates anymore. If U can't come up with any logical reason/ Proofs why U think her songs are Demonic, don't quote me again. 1 Like |

Enya's Evening Falls, Yanni's Deliverance and Libera's Adoramus are currently my 3 best songs. Anytime I listen 2 these 3 songs, am seriously motivated, inspired and relaxed. Must be all these noisemakers that are always "knacking akpako" that will be saying such nonsense. To them, every foreign artist is in church of satan. Mtchewww. Make I freestyle Yanni's Aria. |

i doubt dis is d first or even only topic of its kind on NL but it made d front page so some of us are happy. About Enya, well after reading 10 pages i must say that some people who claim her music is a prep towards an evil spiritual high, dont you think that its dependent on foundational though? No time to talk about ones dark or good sides, but i presume her music could high you towards the most high too. That aside, some people assume i listen to a wierd combo of music, two days back i was listening to Ancora Qui a soundtrack from Quintin Tarantino's Django unchained and then switched to Katherine jenkins version of Leonard Cohen's hallelujah, not only did dem boiz presume me being catholic was d reason i listened to such music but they were all over me for what the lyrics to ancora qui were which i knew not, its not like i dont listen to other geners of music but i could not phathom their reasoning, so i decided not to play enya dat day, because another human had said enya was illuminatis choir mistress. see d thing tire me. i am more of a rap person but i never let a good song from enya, yanni, or a really good opera, jazz or classical music pass me. 1 Like |

To those who talk of worldly music being evil, are u implying that the music industry as a whole is evil? How is Evening falls or Deliverance or even Eye Adaba demonic? For the language barrier talkers, Chris Brown's song to the devil 'Fallen Angel', was it not sung in English? Are all christian music sung in languages you can understand, yet because they have been labelled christian music, there's nothing wrong with those languages? To those talking about astral travel and snake charming, have you travelled to the spirit world b4, how many animals have you charmed? If none of you can give me a reassuring answer, then bow out of this thread in SHAAAAME!!! |

I could care less if it is evil or not, as long as am not controlled by it, when i had my first heart break enya only time seriously calmed me down, i have worked hard to gather all my enya collections, its everywhere on my tablet,ps3,phone,pc. Her songs are soothing, do you guys know that there are so many songs declared as enya which she didnt sing. E.g adiemus , x-files theme, now are free, iapetus . As much as i hate xmas, and winter came is a perfect album, the latin rendition of silent night and o come o come emmanuel |

[quote author=Cold blooded]I can fight for Enya, Enigma, Yanni and their likes. I found solace listening to their songs. Talking about being "demonic" have you got time to watch Enigma's videos or even reflect on d title or her songs like "return to innocence","principles of lust","beyound the invisible" "way to eternity"etc; she uses occultic signs a lot and mimics the Catholic church. I think her songs are more esoteric than Enya's.[/q You're me bro@> |

As a Nigerian/African/black individual............ and listening to Enya……my advice is just that you should disregard any negative comment from people and believe that you are just different.......different in so many ways…............It is hard/difficult to explain things…..but the bottom line (in my opinion) is just that you are different from the crowd! I hope this helps! Just enjoy, relax, meditate and make the world a better place than you met it  .1 Like |

Nigerians are realy the worst hypocrites we have on this earth...Despite our supposed godliness and our knowledge of who and who is in illuminati  , who is holy and not holy, our numerous churches, i still wonder why we are one of the worse countries in terms of development indices.We watch BBA africa, listen to our musicians(i aint condemning them),follow lady gaga, rihanna, chris brown, tupac but when anyone plays Enya, we start shouting that she sings demonic songs..What an irony!!! I am sure the Pope and the vatican forgot to ask Nigerian's about Enya's Godly status when played for the Pope in rome years ago . [b]Daily News (Los Angeles, CA) | Dec 20, 1997 From a young age, Enya appeared in many pantomimes onstage at Gweedore's local theatre and sang with her siblings in her mother's choir at St Mary's Catholic Church, Derrybeg. The popular Irish singer met the pope last Christmas. She’s not exactly a traditional Catholic, but neither did she rip up any photographs. “No, no, no,” says Enya, with a gentle laugh. Basically, she sang a song at a charity benefit at the Vatican and then met Pope John II. As Enya’s multi-tracked music is often described in spiritual and celestial terms – the kind one would like to hear upon approaching the pearly gates – one wonders if there was any discussion of the hereafter. “Basically, he thanked me for doing the concert,” Enya says from New York. “It’s just he’s so famous. It was a great honor to perform in the Vatican, to actually get behind the gates where the guards open the gates for you.” Enya is not one to blast other new agers – she demurs they might come up with what they do because they don’t put in her hours, or, perhaps, don’t share her background. “My influences are with Irish music, church music and classical music,” she says. “When I was growing up, I was listening to quite a lot of diverse music, and I was lucky that it wasn’t just one particular type of music.” She still finds inspiration in the church. “It’s difficult when you’ve been brought up Catholic,” Enya says, “to turn completely away from it. What I found in my 20s was I got more involved with the spiritual side of it. I’ve been known to go to church when there’s nobody else there. It’s very therapeutic when it’s quite empty. It’s so hard in a moment of despair not to say a prayer. Instead of abandoning (Catholicism), which is impossible to do, I kind of tried to turn it around and make it work for me. There is this calmness that is absolutely wonderful.” [/b] Another reason i m sure most of u say her music is demonic/satanic is because u dont understand the lyrics. A simple google research will show that she sings her song in English,Irish Gaelic, scottish Gaelic, Japanese, Latin amongst others. Because you dont understand someone's language doesnt mean the person is demonic or speaking gibberish... And what most of u dont realise that unlike most musician she grew up in a family of musicians. She attended college wanting to become a classical pianist, continuing her studies in music and also studying watercolour painting. GOOGLE IS UR FRIEND below are the lyrics for the song titled "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel" O come, O come, Emmanuel And ransom captive Israel That mourns in lonely exile here Until the Son of God appear Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel. O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free Thine own from Satan's tyranny From depths of Hell Thy people save And give them victory o'er the grave Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel. O come, Thou Day-Spring, come and cheer Our spirits by Thine advent here Disperse the gloomy clouds of night And death's dark shadows put to flight. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel. O come, Thou Key of David, come, And open wide our heavenly home; Make safe the way that leads on high, And close the path to misery. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel. O come, O come, Thou Lord of might, Who to Thy tribes, on Sinai's height, In ancient times did'st give the Law, In cloud, and majesty and awe. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel. Below are the Lyrics of the song Athair Ar Neamh which she sang in her native language but translated in English Heavenly Father --------------- Heavenly Father, God is with us Heavenly Father, God is with me my soul, my heart, my glory, a praise to you, God. A long and peaceful day A long night without gloom beauty, joy, love, a praise to you, God. I glorify you day by day. I glorify you night after night. Heavenly Father, God is with us Heavenly Father, God is with me the moon, the sun, the wind, a praise to you, God. ) Bring out the lyrics of ur famous naija or foreign musicians and lets all compare notes  3 Likes |

I belong to a christian denomination that takes special time to research on songs and movies and all other social issues that satan can easily use to derail the unsuspecting ones, especially songs and movies. They have had genuine reasons to warn us against some particular songs of artists like Chris Brown, Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Rihana and so on. But funny enough they've never warned us against Enya. This tells me a lot about her songs, and I appreciate it more that ever having heard very interesting comments from fellow lovers of her Music. Many do not even know she sang the tracks for Lords of the Ring. Orinocco Flow, Wild Child and Robin Hood are some of my favourites. 1 Like |
