To quote Roma: "One Toy Soldier is basically a children's song, a song about a little toy soldier. One Toy Soldier-A Long Long Journey-esque song. The strongest lyrics: Oh, remember this/for no one knows/the way love goesĨ. Last Time By Moonlight-This can be thought of as one of her fine moments in song. It could be thought of as the "lullaby" of this album.ħ. Dreams Are More Precious-This one reminds me of Once You Had Gold, but much better all around. It's the first single taken from the album and I think it was a nice choice.Ħ. It's about a journey, there's no turning back. Trains And Winter Rains-Everyone knows this one! It reminds me of a mixture of past Enya songs (The Magic of the Night, May It Be, some say Orinoco Flow) Somewhat dark sounding. If this doesn't leave you with goose bumps, I don't know what will! The lyrics, the arrangement, her voice, just beautiful. O Come O Come Emmanuel-This has to be the most exquisite rendition of this song I have ever heard. This is said to be the second single pulled from the album.Ĥ. Enya describes it as "very descriptive" and "a song to join in on" which I think is a fairly accurate way of putting it. White Is In The Winter Night-A fun, upbeat song. Said by Roma Ryan (lyricist) to be the story of the nativity as it would be written in the 21st century. Journey Of The Angel s-A slow, traditional/religious carol. I think an excellent job was done with the tweaking.Ģ.
This is a reworking of a b-side track from Enya called "Midnight Blue" (available on the Wild Child single if you want to hear it) Nice opener, the beginning of the song is the best part. And Winter Came-The album opener, an instrumental.
Here is a breakdown of what to expect when you listen to the album.ġ. Some may think of it as a "Christmas" album. And Winter Came is Enya's first "winter themed" album. Every track is outstanding in its own way, there isn't a bad song on it. There is a reason why it reached #1 on Amazon's best seller list! This is the release of the year. If there is one album you should have in your collection this year, it has to be this one.
