Lipton, sis, I had no clue that you were here for Enya!
I grew up listening to her, as my mom is a huge Enya and Loreena McKennitt fan. The Enya albums that I'm most familiar with are The Celts, The Memory Of Trees, and A Day Without Rain. Though, Watermark is most definitely a masterpiece. I think that I was more into And Winter Came than my mom was. All of her albums are flawless, and I wish that people would appreciate her more.
Also, "Orinoco Flow" and "Wild Child" remain my favorite Enya songs.
and yes, watermark *****.
