I was newly married to my wife and deployed to Iraq during the first 15 months of that disaster. This song helped me maintain my sanity in all that shit. You are the best, Enya.
Do you know that it is one of the best compliments that you could give her? I heard an interview where she said that she hoped to make the world better and more peaceful with her music. Her music has a healing effect on our souls and help bearing the madness of this world. Bless Her.
Im a guy but im sorry but I am a fan of Enya. I grew up on it from my mom and still like her music to this day. Her stuff from the 90's was great and I love this cd as well. This song is one of my favs.
As a forager & wildcrafter in the Florida wilds this song reminds me of the days I was teaching my daughter as a little girl how to be one with nature. Walking the outdoors together, showing her edible, medicinal & poisonous flora; later eating the seafood we caught, and the fruits, veggies, & spices we foraged. She's now 32, an RN, & thanks me often for giving her an education in "Flora's Secrets". Yes, we know many of Flora's secrets, intimately.
...hermoza cancion la flora secret es como bailar con tu amado bailando todo el amanecer sin cansancio hasta el amanercer siguiendo los pasos del cortejo de las aves para siempre .......
Beautiful!!!... My fiancee love this song. I put along with some of the other Enya songs in a CD I made for her awhile ago. But this one especially brings tears to her eyes (and mine too!!!). Just absolutely beautiful.
When I was in grade 1 the first time I heard Enya's music in the car, I'd be like I want to stay here forever and listen to it over and over again. Enya's music are the only music I'll never get bored of.
I had this album signed by enya back then. She was at Barnes n Nobles bookstore on 22nd street in Manhatten. She was absolutely sweet. Her voice matches her attitude. I totally fell in love with her
same here! I remember she was my very first album that my parents gave me.(I used to play dress up with her music. :] ) I found her again just recently, and its like old memories!
Enya's music is so spiritual and refreshing, though contemporary in style the essence of her music reflects the beauty of Irish Gaelic folkloric song. Gaelic folklore from Ireland and Scotland has produced some of the most beautiful songs, poetry and music.
thank goodness for Enya's voice, because on days like today when i have a rough day at work, i need that heavenly persona to calm me down. i know someones gotta relate to that right?
This was the first song I ever heard from Enya, but I never knew who she was at the time. When I heard a few other of her songs, I knew she had had to have made this one too! I'm so glad I found it!
heh, who thought that Flora was Greek? i'm Greek myself so i actually find this a bit funny. but i think in the song she just means that Flora is her love for natures abundance, i guess it could also mean the Goddess of Flowers.
Flora is merely Roma Ryan's allusion to nature and love. In the sciences, flora refers to the vegetable kingdom, as fauna refers to the animal. In either event, so much for taxonomy, I prefer to totally Enjoy this offering from the modern Muse of New Age Celtic Music. This is one of my favorites by Enya. Very well done - even for her and Roma!
i'm from greece and believe me, though we had many gods and godesses once, there was never a flora. Not even as a translation from the romans like Athina-Minerva or Afroditi-Venus, Poseidon-Neptune, Aris-Mars or Dias (Zefs)-zeus. Probably a roman godess she is. Modern greeks use for flowers the word "louloudi" and also the ancient greek word "anthos" and "anthi" for plural most frequently. i assume the name Anthea stands for that. no suprise another "english" greek word.
Second favorite on "A Day Without Rain". This song seems to be overlooked, it's so beautiful. Does anyone know what "Flora" stands for? I always sort of assumed it was like nature or love or something. It doesn't matter too much but still wondering. Enya is the best.
i think caribbean blue is better but this is in the top ten... that's one of the reasons why it's on paint the sky with stars, it;'s one of her bests!
Love this....
