Free Music Notes for A Day Without Rain
Free Music Review: Critics Of This CD Are Snobs
Hit: 5 Stars
And I'll tell you why.
Many of the disparaging reviews sound so much alike, you would think that one person wrote them. Most of them run along these lines.
"I have been an Enya fan for the past fifty years. When I was in my mother's womb, she played Enya. However, I am DISAPPOINTED in this CD. Because it's not DARK and MYSTERIOUS like her former works. And EVERYONE KNOWS that people who like DARK MYSTERIOUS THINGS are melancholy artists who alone feel the true rhythm of Mother Earth."
Other critics write reviews somewhat along the lines of the following.
"It makes me SICK when people write about how this CD helped them to heal after 9/11. How DARE they say this! Even if it DID help them, MY sense of outrage is aroused!"
My advice to both of these types of critics are
1: Curb your ego, the curdled reaches of this gelatinous mass are already seeping onto my keyboard.
2: If you have a problem with people using this CD to deal with grief, trauma, if it causes you extreme distress and/or you begin to froth at the mouth...
Listen to "A Day Without Rain"
It's very relaxing.
Free Music Review: Enya's Most Majestic Collection Yet
Hit: 5 Stars
A Day Without Rain is undoubtedly one of Enya's best-ever albums. Surely the first three songs on the album make it a true masterpiece. The album opens with A Day Without Rain, a track without words, yet so comforting and uplifting your soul will resonate with its message. The second song, Wild Child, is exactly as it says- one of the upbeat tracks, sounding like a playful storm that got away. It leads into Only Time, a softer, quieter song that will lift you into the clouds. Next, Tempus Vernum returns to a louder sound, but more dark and mystical. Many reviewers have complained about Tempus Vernu. I, however, think it adds power to the album and gives it more variance. Tempus Vernum ends suddenly, leading into Deora ar mo chroi, a song for reflection. Flora's Secret is a happy song that will leave you smiling at the lyrics. Fallen Embers is another return to the soft vocals and quieter sounds. You will climb higher on "Silver Inches", journey along with "Pilgrim", march along to "One By One" and float away with "Lazy Days". Enya continues to produce the best soul-soothing music anywhere in the world. An unforgettable, memorable album.Free Music Review: WORTH THE WAIT...and under rated

I'm appalled by some of the reviews I've seen for this album. My day is not complete without listening to it. It's a "brighter" side of Enya. Her last album, 1995's "The Memory Of Trees", was beautiful but dark, with full heart-tugging melodies and thought-provoking lyrics. "A Day Without Rain" is much simpler, but still just as beautiful. She continues her tradition of having the title track of her album an instrumental track, and "A Day Without Rain" is a beautiful song. Some people complain that she doesn't sing on all of the songs - but they forget that Enya plays all instruments on her albums, and that every vocal you hear is Enya's. No wonder it takes so long for Enya to record her albums. Stand-out tracks: Wild Child (for the Kokopeli [spell] in all of us), Only Time (first single/video - FANTASTIC), Fallen Embers (great wedding song), One By One, and Lazy Days. Enya is a genre in herself. Hopefully, her next album won't take 5 years to complete, but even if it does, my copy of "A Day Without Rain" will not leave my cd player, and probably still won't long after her next masterpiece is set out into the world.Free Music Review: Wonderful

Well, its quite apparent that some are tired of Enya while others still thrill at her musical releases. ADWR is a beautiful album, seeing Enya moving toward a more classical sound. Yes, I know the album is short, Enya still sounds like Enya, blah blah blah...The fact remains the NO ONE that I can think of writes more attractive melodies than Enya and NO ONE has such a perfect voice. Flora's Secret (my favorite), One by One, and Fallen Embers are three of the best tunes that I have heard in years. These songs do NOT sound like remakes of earlier Enya songs. Such a criticism fails when a person actually LISTENS to the songs. Critics dismiss Enya as floaty, new-age pseudo pop, but I (and millions of others) happened to be moved by her music. There is a sound in her voice that is just incomparable and...otherworldly. I listen to a wide variety of styles of music (I love Dido, Protishead, Schubert, Garbage, just to name a few), but Enya will always be my favorite. She has affected me in a way that no other artist has. So...I for one will anxiously await music from Enya as long as she continues to make it--let the rest of the world just go its own way!!!Free Music Review: Beautiful

What a joy it is to break away from pop princesses, Britney Spears wannabes, head banging trash, and boring old love cliches and find peace in the beautiful world Enya creates. When I first heard "Only Time", I didn't think too much of it. But soon enough, I couldn't get the song out of my head and I found myself waiting for the next time I would hear it. Then I heard "Wild Child" and I knew that I had to get the album. "A Day Without Rain" is currently the only Enya album I own, but I hope to be getting some of her older stuff soon. This album will leave your mind in a state of peace and tranquility from the first note of "A Day Without Rain" to the last sound of "Lazy Days". "Wild Child" is my absolute FAVORITE song on the album and possibly in the whole world. The rest of the highlights include "Only Time", "Deora Ar Mo Chori", "Fallen Embers", "Pilgrim" and "One By One". Enya's beautiful crystaline voice shines in every one of her angelic songs. Her style his very unique and I've never heard anything like it. "A Day Without Rain" is a great album to listen too when you feel troubled or uneasy. I hope this review helped. Thank you and have a nice day.
