The spring, summer, is quite a hectic time for people in their lives, but then it comes to autumn, and to winter, and you can't but help think back to the year that was, and then hopefully looking forward to the year that is approaching.
From Enya
I do promotion when it is necessary, but I always want to get back to the music.
It's very homely, this castle. It doesn't have huge ballrooms. I didn't want a cold, cavernous place.
The ocean is a central image. It is the symbolism of a great journey.
I find I'm not one of these composers that are, you know, walking along a beach or walking on the mountainside in County Donegal that's, you know, 'Oh, a melody.' It's more a matter of eventually taking that moment with me to the studio, and it begins to evolve.
The fans are very, very loyal. They're always saying, 'When is the next album?' They know when I finish in the studio it's got to be a few years before the next album.
Writing music on your own makes you think a lot about your life. Who are you? Would you change anything about yourself? This is where it comes from.
With my music, I can express myself so much. A lot of the fans can sense that I'm relating to them something that's quite personal.
When making music I sink myself into the process as deeply as I can and forget all of the success.
When I was growing up, I'd be in the choir. My mum was the organist in the church, so I'd sing in the church.
