The Sun in the Stream

the 6th song of the album The Celts (1992), composed and performed by Enya,
Inspired by the legend of the Salmon of Knowledge.
In the Grove of the nine wise Hazel trees, from the sacred pool, the River Boyne flowed.
The salmon feasted on the rich crimson nuts fallen from the hazel trees, and hence possessed all the truth in the world.

The irony, of course, is that Enya is by far the most commercial of any artist associated with the New Age tag. Like her New Age peers, she creates escapist and enchanting soundscapes, but she anchors them with memorable, poplike melodies. "Even though she's ethereal, she's pretty mainstream," said Mitch Rabin, president of New Age label New World Music. "She's much more melodic than most New Age music, nowhere near as ethereal as most." (MTV, Oct. 2001)

Enya quote: I had to do schoolwork and then travel to a neighbouring town for piano lessons, and then more schoolwork. I can vividly remember my brothers and sisters playing outside in the sun, and I would be inside playing the piano. This one big book of scales, practising them over and over. (Telegraph, Oct. 2008)
