Top Ten Songs by Enya

Enya has done more to put New Age Music on the map than virtually anyone via her many Top Ten charting songs throughout the world. My favorite top ten songs from Enya were not easy to come by because she is my favorite female artist of all time. Here are my top ten songs by Enya in descending order all the way to my favorite tune:

10. China Roses, originally from 1995's The Memory of Trees album

China Roses sneaks into my top ten list of Enya songs because it's very delicately sung. I love hearing the mandolin as the back drop to the tune, which makes me think about my past travels to the most populous country in the world.

9. Amarantine, originally from 2005's Amarantine album

This is from Enya's latest album release of songs that carries the same name. I love the simple elegance of this song which made it to the Top Twenty on the US Adult Contemporary Charts. Amarantine basically translates out to "everlasting love", taken from the mythic amaranth flower, which is supposed to never fade out.

8. The Memory of Trees, originally from 1995's The Memory of Trees album

This principally instrumental tune has a really melodic piano supporting role. Enya sings very few words in it, and her words are not really that understandable. She could be possibly singing "You can make me feel good - - ". So the tune carries a mystery with it, and reminds me of the tranquility of parks.

7. The Celts, originally from 1987's Enya, a self-titled album

The Celts comes across like a marching tune that is sung in Irish Gaelic. The song celebrates the endurance of the Celtic Spirit. This musical creation, along with the rest of Enya's self-titled studio release of songs, was remastered and re-released as The Celts in 1992.

6. Cursum Perficio, originally from 1988's Watermark album
