This video was inspired by the painting by Sir John William Waterhouse. This video was filmed in the spring of 1999. It has sat in various forms for quite a few years before I realized I had found the right piece of music to finish it with. Any comparisons to any of Enya's recent videos is purely coincidental as I personally shot this vide years before the album A Day Without Rain or Amarantine were released.

  • The song isn't Smaointe from Shepherd Moons, it's Isobella, from A Day Without Rain. I reversed the song to put my own stamp on it you could say.

  • This was gorgeous! You did an excellent job of turning the poem and the painting into film... :D

  • Great video!!

    It convinces me.

    And I also approve of the choice of "Isobella" played backwards (I sometimes listen to Enya songs backwards, and my favourite is "Flora's Secret"): it fits the images and the colours. Loreena McKennitt's "The Lady Of Shalott" is my favourite song of all time, but this video is very, very good: putting Loreena's voice in it would have been too easy.

  • beautiful. This is just amazing. I'm doing research on the lady of shallot for are class assembly at school and I think this is probably the most beautiful video i've ever seen!

  • the purity of life and all its misteries,the beauty of innocence..amazing song

  • Dear God. Please tell me you're putting this to DVD, selling it, keeping it online SOMEWHERE permanent..

  • How beautiful. Utterly haunting, and the music fits the piece perfectly. I literally cannot come up with anything else to say - the video is absolutely wonderful.

  • This is voice of Enya but I don't remember this song...

  • Lady of Shalott is not a Enya's song. It's a Loreena Mckennitt's song.
