“All days come from one day
that much you must know,
you cannot change what's over
but only where you go.”

Song lyrics, A Day Without Rain (2000)

“I do promotion when it is necessary … But I always want to get back to the music. The personal appearances and red carpet events are very glitzy, but it's a bit false.”

The Telegraph interview (2005)

“Winter lies before me
now you're so far away.
In the darkness of my dreaming
the light of you will stay”

Song lyrics, Amarantine (2005)

“Regardless of how I live my life, there are people who develop fixations that are not healthy. It could be a visual thing, or it could be the music that they are drawn to. These people need help.”

The Telegraph interview (2005)

“We call out into the distance…
Less than a pearl in a sea of stars,
we are a lost island in the shadows.”

Song lyrics, Amarantine (2005)

“I'm very happy as I am. I realise that I made sacrifices early in my career and that it was hard on my relationships because, when I am working, I am very focused and it isn't easy, when you have been in the studio all day, to say to someone, 'I'll meet up with you later on.' I learned that it was necessary to be dedicated and put work first. But, at the same time, it was a wonderful feeling to be successful at doing something I loved.”

Women's Weekly interview (2006)

“English translation: Life of lives, beginning to the end. We are alive forever.”

"The Celts", from The Celts (1987) Translations for The Celts http://www.pathname.com/enya/celts.html#the-celts, from Enya: Translations and Lyrics. English translation by Fidelma McGinn, Daniel Quinlan, and Willie Arbuckle. <br class="br">Song lyrics

“I'm not one for walking the beaches humming a melody … I love the discipline of sitting in the studio, writing and listening. That is my domain.”

The Telegraph interview (2005)

“Listen to the rain
Here it comes again
Hear it in the rain
Feel the touch
of tears that fall
— they won't fall forever
In the way the day will flow
all things come,
all things go.”

Song lyrics, Amarantine (2005)

“I joined my family's band, Clannad, as a teenager in 1980 to sing harmonies and play keyboards, but it wasn't musically challenging for me; I felt like an outsider. … My split from Clannad two years later caused a conflict of loyalty for a time, because I went off with their manager Nicky Ryan, who had asked me to join Clannad in the first place.”

You interview (2006)

“Our words go beyond the moon.
Our words go into the shadows.
The river sings the endlessness.
We write of our journey through night.
We write in our aloneness.
We want to know the shape of eternity.
Who knows the way it is?
Who knows what time will not tell us?”

Song lyrics, Amarantine (2005)

“Out of night has come the day
Out of night, our small earth.
Our words drift away.
Our words journey
to find those who will listen.”

Song lyrics, Amarantine (2005)

“The silence of a winter's night
brings memories I hold inside;
remembering a blue moonlight
upon the fallen snow.”

Song lyrics, Amarantine (2005)

“On the project The Celts I was asked to … to write a song. And, at the time I was … arranging with Nicky, and writing the music and performing … so, no desire whatsoever to write lyrics!… But Roma was actually writing poetry at the time, and she was involved, with listening in the studio … being the audience in the studio … so she was involved with the project. So, it was very obvious that she would write the lyrics.”

KSCA interview (1996)

“It is a long way through darkness
to the way of the eremite
the eremite sings of the world and of
the journey of love, which is not lost in eternity…”

Song lyrics, Amarantine (2005)

“A million feathers falling down,
a million stars that touch the ground,
so many secrets to be found
amid the falling snow.”

Song lyrics, Amarantine (2005)

“Sitting and 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. It is like having a mirror held up in front of you, looking into yourself and asking these questions.”

Women's Weekly interview (2006)

“For me this career and that I am privileged to do a job I love to do, means really, really much. I would never change any moment from my life. When making music I sink myself into the process as deeply as I can and forget all of the success.”

Anna interview (2005)

“A lot of people tend to think that because I need all this time on my own in the studio, that I need time on my own, period. And that's not really true.”

KSCA interview (1996)

“in silence through the night
close to the City of Realisations;
it is here one finds the way…
…Mount Orison
the City of Days
the Tree of the lost
he journeys on…
…north of his love
a road through a valley of darkness
the islands that are not of this world
he journeys on to find his love…”

Song lyrics, Amarantine (2005)
