Enya- The First of Autumn

[prettydaisy64]

Makes me think of nature and things that grow in the spring.

[purpleninja0123]

this is so beautiful that it gives me goosebumps

[shoshi173]

still listening to this song in 2012 >> like ;)

[MarcSunscream]

This song always makes me think of running through a field of golden wheat as autumn leaves fly through the air on the wind ... I cannot wait for October again. =)

[Philosupremum]

In autumn 2000 I was 7 years old and I began school. Then later I listened the album for the first time( it's actually my mother that listens to her). I like this song especially because it makes me remembering that.

[Philosupremum]

[donfreszito2vario]

it's amazing how autumnish this song is

[Deadeye826z]

Still listening to this song on New-years eve 2011

[Runningmaniac1996]

This song reminds me of the creation of the earth

[Runningmaniac1996]

I love the cellos!:)

[CarylMarvelgi606]

ha wie geil hab 3 brüste

[sylvirfoxx]

How come the Australians get the special treatment?!?!

[HeavyBoombox]

wow how amazing and lovely she is :]

[claytonic21]

Enya never ceases to make me "feel" I am not sure what I feel, but I love it! She is hands down the best musician/composer/artist. Ever.

[gothicgrowler]

Whenever I close my eyes, since I was a little kid who didn't knew anything about English, I always imagine a forest in autumn, with it's leaves dancing in the wind, and moving by the sound and tempo of the strings... Is one of the few pieces of music that actually brings tears into my eyes.

[stifflersmum7]

Awh marry me!!! :(

[WorldOfNerdCraft1]

amazing!



[voltz15]

missing from US release, very disappointed. 

[MelyndaMoon]

Happy first day of Autumn ^__^

[Tahoemormon]

Some of Enya's songs show some really outstanding versatility in writing music(not lyrics, just music) and this is definitely one of them. How she comes up with music that just keeps the mind and soul in forward motion, I will never know! I'm just grateful that she does!

[magpie4321]

@Tahoemormon It's a God thing

[Hikenoace88]

[JLOStudios]

LOVE ENYA!!!!!

[lionislionislion]

open up another tab, and youtube search "the sound of rain w/o music" and play them both together, it sounds awesome together.

[XuchiwaX]

Music like this are treasures :) I'm upset when I'm hearing that song.

[XnicoleDRX]

i love it!!!!!!!!!!!1 <3 :)

[biggles896]

i love this song

[StateOfUnrecognition]

Enya expresses deep emotions and thoughts.

[FoxPaul1]

5 People were the last of Autumn.

[bloke372]

enya is one of the all time original music makers.this track alone sends shivers up the spine.

[JocelynJEG]

This song has been used in many of my family member's weddings.

[Meowzers20]

@mangkleto Also it doesn't matter if its computerized or not... they had to record the sounds for them to become computerized in the first place.

[Meowzers20]

@mangkleto Cello, bass, Viola, Violin, a bit of drums, and the human voice is considered an instrument. I can be wrong about the drums since I know that cellos/bass can sound like them at times. Also someone said about a wind instrument... I don't hear any... it sounds like her voice almost like wind... I hear ahhhs and ooos.

[countrycowgirly]

the music opens ur eyes to something new

[djendurance1]

this woman was sent from god no other explanation :D

[teliomi6]

@djendurance1 must be.

[XHALE303]

u got 2 love how they always master those synths

bombasticly crystal clear...synths yes...

or did u think they used a real orchestra? :)

[teliomi6]

It's rather refreshing. I feel my young age for once, not neolithic.

[pumbaa19]

@mangkleto if you we looking for the type of instruments i think i hear one that mutedwords missed... it sounded like there was a harpsichord in the background but other then that i think (s)he hit the nail on the head...

[BuddhaZenMind]

This track reminds me of Fall Season when the leaves turn Red, Yellow, Brown and Orange...

[borne78]

The reason u never heard it is because she relased it to Austrailea!!

[Philosupremum]

@borne78 I'm in Canada and this song is on my CD. So not only in Australia, but in Canada(and maybe an other country) too. But by the way, do you know in which country(ies) the song "Isobella" is on the CD?

[Kornflower22]

I never heard this one before, it's AWESOME!!

[Mutedwordz]

@mangkleto violin, cello, bass, something in the wind family, drums, and.......that's all I got. :)

[KINGDD1990]

einfach nur hammer

[sesigret]

There are no words to explain my feelings when I'm listening to this masterpiece.

[pianeroman]

im suspicious that Nick Ryan is always a co author with enya, and not to mmention that in her "live" playbacks oops i mean performances she doesnt even play the piano but just moves her fingers shyly...like NOT playing at all....just wondering... the musci is great tho

[DartsRme312]

when i hear an enya song....it really lifts my spirits...she is so amazing...i just love how clean her voice is...and her music is legendary!

[jdloer]

hey Folks listen to this song first thing in the morning before going about your day, it will give such a great energy that all your days will great! :) it works for me every time!

[ravenvlucht]

@jdloer same here. this song is great

[AlainValdivia]

@jdloer was that your experince? yes i could see why. it is amazing and i know how energies work universally . thank you my friend! ;)

[FunnyNoona]

Wonderful :)

[zapakguy1991]

I wish to become a director and use all of Enya's Discography in my movies!

Oh! I Wish!

[ForeverisGone13]

@zapakguy1991 Idk if I could become a direstor, but if to be a producer, I would want enya to be in all my movies to and on the soundtrack :D Go for you dream as a director, I bet you'll achieve it someday, and I'll be watching it on the big screen ^^

[zapakguy1991]

@ForeverisGone13

thank you so much :) :)

I have already started work on a short movie :D

would release it probably at the end of this month :)

[FunnyNoona]

@zapakguy1991 Good luck! :)

[zapakguy1991]

@FunnyNoona

thanks :)

[maciasterence]

I've loved Enyas music since high school I graduaed in 1989

[Twigs8]

I need to make a dance to this song, it's just so EPIC!!!!!

[MatmanFromLublin]

Such a wonderful melody for such an exceptional day :) Today is the autumnal equinox after all.

[operachild]

Autumn is approaching, I had to find this piece of music! 

[SortofSamantha]

It reminds me of horseback riding

[dinolover415]

i wish Enya will live to be 192!!!!!!!!!

[zilverthefunky3]

@dinolover415

or just 100000<3

[dinolover415]

@zilverthefunky3 LOL exactly

[Lunar3Eclipse]

@dinolover415 agreed. that would be EPIC!!! there's no harm in wishing and hoping. :D

[dinolover415]

i cannot describe how incredibly phenomenal this song is. it reminds me of how thankful we should be to God for our minds and for music and instruments. and to think..... heaven is even MORE indescribable than this music! o.0

[Steve197201]

This would be a great song to play while taking a nice, swift drive through the countryside.

[musicaltheatre303]

Beautiful, I feel so free.

[CzSCaesar]

GREAT MUSIC, simple but strong and nice.

[BarnOwls4eva]

we have an epic english teacher; and this reminds me of her :)

[Di497]

Boa música!

[mrCupkakes69]

sick song

[TheMoonCrystal]

So beautiful. Pure genious!

[Sunnychick81]

Beautiful..

[MRave4ever]

This song is so beautiful. Its intense, yet calm...

Plus I like how the cello and all that is used in this song.

[QueXseraXsera]

This song is awesome! I love autumn. Thanks for posting!

[BuscettiByGianna]

This reminds me of like, the medieval times...like picture a open and vacant field with a beautiful castle on the horizon

[KatieHatesFurbys]

Ahh our pointe dance is to this song(:

so great.

[06beke]

I'm gonna make a dance to this song.. Modern, plus Enya, equals perfect!

[Music11Listener]

I love Enya! I especially like China Roses and Only Time. Then I also like this one and Boadecia. She's inspiring and has a composer's mind, keep the good tunes Enya!

[madpiratesarah]

EEP! another song i dont have, this sounds very uplifting

[bloofan06]

This sounds like something that could be the background in a commercial. The beginning of it does, anyway! Love this song!

[Elusareth]

Enya's music is inspiring. That sounds kinda corny I guess, but I've found it to be true. My job and part of my recreation (writing) has me on the computer a good bit, and I find myself always able to get more done with her music playing. This song and Willows on the Water especially. I've tried it with other music (including other music I like), and it seems distracting or inhibiting.

The world needs more Enya music.

[Rubyglow57]

You are very right. You get assignments and essays easily done with Enya in the background, and you get into a much better mood too ^^

[RPtheTruth]

this song is gorgeous; it feels like bittersweet memories and reminds me of home.

[Darkonomist]

I bought the CD in Texas...

[AvatarYoda]

I'm very disappointed that this song was not included on the American release of "A Day Without Rain," which, at 34 minutes, could have used more length.

When I hear this song, I think of two people in a sailboat; the wind is chilly, the sun is shining, the waves are cresting, and they are happy.

[kevpike1]

This song is full of power and energy. I love it.

[MexicanVictorHugo]

She's So Amazing, I Want All Her Songs!!!! ~~Victor Hugo~~

WE NEED MORE MUSIC LIKE THIS!!!!

[Phielder]

Enya is so good at making pictures with her songs :) You can totally imagine huge autumn trees when listening to this song.

[pavelinte]

alexanderwotl, you could not describe it better!

[Spiderqueen731]

I got this CD for my bday in 2002 and I didn't get this song...hm, probably cause I'm not in Australia..! :) I'm going to download this...thanks for sharing!

[RodCornholio]

For some reason I think if Thomas Jefferson could listen to this, he would enjoy it immensely.

[alexanderwotl]

This music awakens the whole new world in you...

[Inquisitor53]

I feel cheated! I bought the ADWR CD and this song is NOT on it! Well, whatever CD it's on I'm going to hunt for it at the used music store a few miles towards town and if they have it, I'll buy it TOMORROW!

[LittleDudeNT5]

It's on ADWR. I know how you feel. I baught this a long time ago & I was so mad when I learned there was this song. It's so Awesome!! The only way your gonna get it is buying the UK (i think) version. I'm not quite sure which countries got it. Oh, it's also on the "May it Be" single.

[florianlepatineur]

looooool

[Inquisitor53]

fl: What's so funny?

[florianlepatineur]

Inquisitor53  is so funny ^^

[Inquisitor53]

In what way?

[DukeandLeafvids]

This reminds me of huskies or horses running lol

[MaximMagus69]

Beautiful piece! Has the rendition of "Only Time" and "Fallen Embers" meshed together! I love it! "When inspiration comes to call, answer it graciously"! The First of Autumn will be the piece I want to practice for Talent Contests and for the time of leisurely hours!

[Reallywildkitty]

I have a somewhat wild fantasy, and when I listen to this, I imagine some kind of horses running on the prairie, maybe some humans riding them. I love it. If i write a book that someone wants to make a movie of, I'm gonna decide the music, and this is going to be in the movie=)

[Proteliek]

It's a pretty intense song... Somewhat reminds me of Vilvaldi's four seasons...

[fillianus14]

fucking amaizing song!!!

[musicnarts22]

I got this CD in Canada and it had The First of Autumn on it. Not Isobella.

[linket88]

awesome....god, it sounds like cellos!! i play the cello...it's sounds so beautiful!!

[BanishedMagicTouch]

I play the cello also.

[stelznerweb]

cooles Lied

[HaHaxIxWin]

This song makes me want to get up and dance around

[zilam98]

feels like a grand waltz aint it? ;)

[ckarkkic]

I.. I love this. <3

[lucylovesyoutoo]

tiene una voz bien tranquila y fresca!

[paulpanhook]

i really love this song

[newwave89]

I heard this song on "So You Think You Can Dance" and loved it. I said to myself, "It sounds like Enya or something" and turns out it was! Thanks for putting this wonderful song up.

[zilam98]

oooooo! when? who danced to it?

[newwave89]

Tiffany Geigel did in her audition. She was the one with the spinal defect.

[zilam98]

oh yeah! now i remember that! she did have some technical deficiencies, but it was quite a musical performance. i, too, was pleasantly surprised at the song selection. thanks for reminding me.

[starryshaman]

fucking awesome!!!

[chanze92]

this song came from the height of her career. ADWR-LOTR was the peak of her music.

[foamulator]

I would like to invite all who love Enya to listen to my Enya 21 playlist.

Thx.

[chessbug3]

One of my favorite Enya songs... it's so beautiful and happy and calm...

[nataraja87]

Enya: always refreshing. thanks for the post!

[AliceXx93]

....<3

[Heffort]

beautiful song and all she is doing is humming..... timeless classic, enya is great

[chanze92]

[theblackcat131313]

I love this song...i have irish in my family on my mom's side and the rest is african american...but this song is BEAUTIFUL!!!...regardless if you're irish or not this song is easy to love...:D

[LaSquidChupa]

Creepy enough i have irish in my family on my mom's side and african american on my dad's too :) her songs calm me and make me wanna dance a jig sometimes lol especially The Hills Of Ireland

[Daro137]

when i was a child i used to listen to enya... later i started listening heavy metal, but i keep listening enya too... it is so calming... i had three of her albums, but now can´t find them anywere......... :`(

[Hammond686]

[theblackcat131313]

[Phielder]

I love the way Enya is able to make songs that makes me feel the different subjects ^^ like this one.. without even knowing the name, I'd guess autumn =)

[borrreydunervst]

wunderschön...

[0JakeVee0]

Beautiful.

[wattatta47]

i loveeee Fairytale by Enya. That one gotta be my favorite instrumental from Enya

[Mezzleee]

I think the cello steals the song - along with Enya obviously! =]

[CrescentFenix]

St. Patrick's Day!!!

[sauron7222]

damn this even better then video games or cookies!

[computerwiz10]

wow! this is really good! I love you Enya!

[chezebiscuit]

and winter is awesum

[maywenearedhel]

I think they played this song for one of the promotional commercials on PBS.

[maywenearedhel]

I think autumn is such a magical time with the blue sky, the trees in colors of red, pink, orange, yellow, and brown, and the grass a lush, green carpet. The sun is warm and the air is cool. Sadly, where I live, autumn really doesn't occur. It pretty much goes from green summer to brown winter in a week. Blegh!!!

[zilam98]

well we had that here in cleveland in 2008. :( i wish we'd have an early spring. i just hate winter.

[waterforpeople]

So uplifting. As if you are flying over mountains.

[linket88]

the cello sounds so beatiful on here : )

[scumfuc616]

im on drugs

[EnyaFanForever]

Perhaps my fav Enya song at the moment.

Pure Ectasy! :D

[dluis1]

(Haiku)

Love is like the leaves;

some ever green, some fall on

the first of autumn.

Whilst writing poetry relating to the seasons, I had included some Haiku, the Japanese verse form, and from one of these came the idea for "the First of Autumn". The Haiku is printed here for the first time.

-Roma Ryan

[loopylycoscow]

my mum says this song reminds her of her giving birth to me since i was born early autumn and i was first born and born on the first lmao - embrassing but i do love Enya's music

[Luthiel]

is not embarassing u must be proud because her music is amazing.

[loopylycoscow]

I agree her music is definitely amazing, been a fan since i was 4 and now 24 lol, am buying her new album on monday - yippee

[giovanepadano89]

great song.

very good.

[reginaldo445]

deus no céu,enya na terra e nóis na fita.

[stepabeat]

very relaxing song :)

[dluis1]

prvi jesenski dan...

[RZy17]

s to pesmijo kar vidš kako raznobarvno listje odpada od dreves.

[dluis1]

tudi vidiš kako močno veter piha...

[geminiboy99]

one of my favorite rare Enya songs...just beautiful! makes me think of a cascade of orange autumn leaves

[Sayurie88]

Whats a cascade?

[VestidoAzul99]

Just close your eyes, and dream...imagine water, nature,mountains. thank you Enya for this music, you are the best . love u

[blondy088]

i can just see things in motion. the process of painting a master piece on a the ceiling of a church, trees going through a whole years cycle or watching a child grow. its truly amazing work, i love enya she knows what shes doing.
