Enya (born Eithne Patricia Ní Bhraonáin) AKA 'The Invisible Star' is Ireland's best-selling solo artist and is officially the country's second biggest musical export (second only to U2) Some may be more familiar with her 1988 song titled "Orinoco Flow" (Sail Away) , but it's this powerful arrangement of strings and percussion that really grabbed my attention.
In 1997, Enya released her greatest hits collection, "Paint The Sky With Stars: The Best of Enya", which featured two new songs: "Paint the Sky With Stars" and "Only If..."; "Only If..." later became a single and it's video is featured here today.

She is very listenable. Orinico Flow was real good. This is almost too soft, but pretty good. Artists like Enya should NOT make videos, however. They end up looking like some religious promotion, regardless of the song.
Well said Anthony, and I was thinking the same exact thing to with the religion aspect of the video.
Well done Joe. Did not expect to see Enya on your blog, especially this song. I must say I'm very impressed. I'll add that I own 2 Enya albums. She definately helps with the insomnia.
I'm more musically diverse that you may realize Frank.
Diverse? In that case, lets have some samplings from the following...
Enigma
Delerium
Deep Forest
ERA
Mythos
Amethystium
Hooverphonic
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Les Nouvelles Polyphonies Corses
Frank, I'm trying to establish a well rounded audience, i'm not quite sure your selections will help me sustain an mainstream interest.
