To me T he Memory of Trees (1995) has that warm and cozy feeling we all want for Christmas. вЂњO Come All Ye FaithfulвЂќ) вЂњThe Magic of The NightвЂќ вЂњWe Wish You a Merry ChristmasвЂќ вЂњChristmas SecretsвЂќ вЂњAmid the Falling SnowвЂќ* вЂњOГche ChiГєin (Silent Night)вЂќДЇrom where we have this live performance:Д«ut the above mentioned songs are not the only ones that have an atmosphere that is perfect for the Christmas season.

Sounds of the Season: Songs:вЂќAdeste FidelesвЂќ (a.k.a. Cool and a little surprising, donвЂ™t you think?ДЄnother Enya Christmas release is: Sounds of the Season: The Enya Holiday Collection. And: Four guys across Abbey Road/One forgot to wear shoes (Paul McCartney). A man wrote a symphony/ItвЂ™s 1812 (Tchaikovsky). My! My! Times Flies! is a rock inspired Enya song, with guitar and a funny selection of historical references: A man underneath a tree/ An apple falls on his head (Presumably Newton). The classical Christmas bells in the end are beautiful together with the Happy Christmas Day to you! The toy soldier is alive, and has feelings. Then Someone has come to mend his drum/Now his heart lights up with pride. The toy soldier plays his drum to keep the time, but the drum is suddenly broken. The most interesting track on the album is One Toy Soldier, EnyaвЂ™s very own Little Drummer Boy (but without the pa rum pum pum pum, I might add). Waiting for transportation is also a part of the modern Christmas experience, right? The music video to this song shows a city skyline at night, with people waiting for a train and few snowflakes are drifting in the air.

Listen to the lyrics: Neon signs in the night/Red and blue city lights/Cargo trains rolling by/Once again someone cries/Trains and winter rains.

Here the perspective is different from the good old Christmas theme on the previous tracks. The first single from the album, Trains and Winter Rains, is track no. This slow song is almost like an anticlimax after the fast White Is The Winter Night. Like a winter wonderland, no doubt about that.Д®nyaвЂ™s version of the popular Christian hymn O come, O come, Emmanuel is beautiful. The song ends with: Have you heard that bells are ringing, ringing out their story, Have you heard the choir singing, Glory, Glory Glory. When listening to White Is The Winter Night you can feel the Christmas atmosphere: Green is in the mistletoe and red is in the holly/Silver in the stars above that shine on everybody. And thatвЂ™s ok because it is simple and elegant.

Some layers of vocal pads are added here and there, plus of course EnyaвЂ™s singing, but the synth strings are in a way everything. It is a good example of EnyaвЂ™s unique use of powerful synth strings, which fill the soundscape. White Is The Winter Night, is a happy and fast winter song. It reminds of previous slow songs like Deora Ar Mo Chroi on A Day Without Rain. The el piano and the rich pads fill the rest. With the first hum, Enya paints herself in a snow covered landscape. On the first track it is like a big white canvas is brought into the studio. On this album she was dressed in snow white. The warm colors of Amarantine were all gone. And Winter Came is nothing more and nothing less than another nice Enya release. It would be out of character, and probably a disappointment to many. Christmas is after all about tradition, and Enya would hardly do something totally different and new. Spotify users can listen to this EP (and some other Enya Christmas favorites) here:Д®nyaвЂ™s present to the world for the Christmas of 2008 was neither surprising nor original, but still a welcome gift to her millions of fans. Accompanying the gentle melody here are four other essential recordings: the title track to her 1987 debut solo album вЂThe CeltsвЂ™, plus вЂњEbudaeвЂќ from her best-selling 1991 outing вЂShepherd MoonsвЂ™ and the hard to find B-sides вЂњвЂS Fagaim Mo BhaileвЂќ & вЂњAs BaileвЂќ (a Gaelic-sung version of the standout track вЂњExileвЂќ from her breakthrough 1988 album вЂWatermarkвЂ™). The Christmas EP is EnyaвЂ™s cherished take on the classic Chrristmas carol вЂњSilent NightвЂќ sung in Gaelic under the title of вЂњOiche ChiunвЂќ. There are a few Enya Christmas releases available.
