It's nice to be reminded though of her powah as a composer, we stan! Personally I find Part I a bit useless and lowkey wished they'd include one of the documentary's unreleased tracks in its place but you can't have it all do you.īoth parts of the song were also released together as B-side to I Want Tomorrow in The Netherlands (1987) which is a bit awkward to be honest. As Enya herself just told us, it contains what is probably the most "classical" piece in her repertoire and therefore it's a bit of an oddity. The complete version is known as ( II) and closes the album, while a shortened version ( I) closes side A. To Go Beyond appeared for the first time on the debut self-titled album as the recurring closing song for the two sides of the LP. Well, we're jumping to almost the beginning here. Roma Ryan, THE CELTS ALBUM BOOKLET, 1992 Knowing that I had voters willing to share personal stories makes everything so much more meaningful. This is one of those moments I'm happy I started this rate. It was sung at the funeral of someone I loved very much. We close with the commentary given by our first 11-giver song means so much to me personally it had to be my 11. *checks for commentary on the previous elimination. Gorgeous (8) (8) T houghtful and plaintive, a sad but beautiful song.
Or (8) It’s another “I’ve heard this song before” but the second part of the sentence is “…and this one is better”. The ballad-phobia of it (6) Like Dreams Are More Precious, it’s a nice enough song, but doesn’t feel Christmassy. It's one of those rare songs in which there's just "one" voice and honestly it was a smart decision as it gives a staggering sense of intimacy to the track.Īnd back to the commentary! Y'all didn't have much to say this time around either but most comments are actually very positive instead of barely (3) Even I am bored now. Honestly I underscored the song a bit, I'd probably give it a 6,5 now as it's actually some of the best lyrical work of Roma from this album and you can tell it's one of the autobiographical Enya songs. J-wave also invited Enya to a tree planting and Christmas lighting ceremony held in Tokyo. Enya appeared on one of their shows and signed several prizes that listeners could win. Moreover, in 2008 Japanese radio J-wave used the song for their 20th anniversary campaign. The song is Enya's own favourite from the album and was thus included in the deluxe version of The Very Best Of Enya in 2009. And Winter Came is the first studio album to lose half of its tracks. Two albums and one CD single will meet the same fate. The double elimination of Stars and Midnight Blue and The Spirit of Christmas Past is the first of four in which two songs adjacent in a tracklist leave back to back. Stars and Midnight Blue is the only 11 to receive an average lower than 7,000.
It's the only song though to receive an 11 but not even 9s. Stars and Midnight Blue is one of the two songs in the rate to receive an 11 but no 10s. Stars and Midnight Blue precedes The Spirit of Christmas Past in the And Winter Came tracklist it's, you guessed it, another ballad. And just like that, we wave goodbye to the first 11 of the rate.
