Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. From which song would you find the following lyrics? "I walk the maze of moments but everywhere I turn to Begins a new beginning but never finds a finish"

Answer: Anywhere Is

 From the album 'The Memory of Trees', 1995.
2. Where does this one come from? "Who can tell me if we have heaven Who can say the way it should be Moonlight holly, the Sappho Comet Angel's tears below a tree"

Answer: China Roses

 Another from 'The Memory of Trees', this track also features on 'Paint the Sky With Stars: The Best of Enya' album.
3. And this one? "Let the rain fall down, everywhere around you Give into it now, let the day surround you You don't need a reason, let the rain go on and on"

Answer: Wild Child

 From the 2000 album 'A Day Without Rain', one of my favourite albums.
4. In which song would you find this lyric? "From the North to the South, Ebudae into Khartoum, From the deep sea of Clouds, to the island of the moon Carry me on the waves, to the lands I've never been Carry me on the waves, to the lands I've never seen"

Answer: Orinoco Flow

 One of the most recognised Enya tracks, it reached number one in the U.K in October 1988, taken from the amazing 'Watermark' album, and is the first track on 'Paint the Sky With Stars: The Best of Enya'. Just as a further side note, 'Fairytale' is an instrumental track, and 'The Longships' has very few lyrics.
5. Where does this lyric appear? "City lights shine on the harbour Night has fallen down Through the darkness and the shadow I will still go on"

Answer: Long Long Journey

 Taken from the 2005 album 'Amarantine', which was five years in the making, and well worth the wait!
6. Be careful with this one, it is a translation! Which song features it? "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"

Answer: The River Sings

 Another of Enya's songs that is sung in Loxian, a language created by Roma Ryan, found in the book 'Water Shows the Hidden Heart', and used on the 'Amarantine' album of 2005 (and one of my favourite songs). As much as I wish I could put the Loxian lyrics here, it's nigh on impossible to write them!
7. Another sung in a different language, in which song could you find it? "Ergo, oceanus, maritimus Ergo, opacare, matutinus Ergo, septentrio, meridies Ergo, occidens et orientis"

Answer: Tempus Vernum

 Another from the 2000 album 'A Day Without Rain', this song has a deeper tone than most of Enya's other work.
8. Almost there! Which track hosts these lyrics? "Dawn breaks; there is blue in the sky Your face before me, though I don't know why Thoughts disappearing like tears from the Moon"

Answer: I Want Tomorrow

 Taken from Enya's first album, 'Enya' released in 1987, and remastered and re-released in 1992 as 'The Celts'. The other three choices are all instrumental tracks.
9. Two to go! Which delightful song hosts these words? "Lovers in the long grass, look above them Only they can see where the clouds are going Only to discover Dust and sunlight Ever make the sky so blue"

Answer: Flora's Secret

 Another from 'A Day Without Rain', and one of my absolute favourites. It is worth noting that Enya uses the word 'Amaranthine' late in the song, and the 2005 album is called 'Amarantine'. Why the 'h' was dropped I'm not sure.
10. And finally... "My life goes on in endless song Above earth's lamentations I hear the real, though far-off hymn That hails a new creation"

Answer: How Can I Keep From Singing

 A delightful track from the 1991 album 'Shepherd Moons'.

Thanks for playing the quiz, I hope I didn't make it too hard! As it only takes a few seconds to do, please take the time to give this quiz a rating, as it's only my second attempt and I'd like to know how I'm doing!
