"Only Time," a single from the A Day Without Rain album, became an anthem of hope after the 9/11 attacks. It was used as a soundtrack in many radio and television reports about the attacks and soon rose on the charts due to strong pop and adult contemporary radio airplay.
The lyrics show that Time controls everything. According to Enya, the song is also about love.
Though it is secular in its lyrics; the soft, lengthy synthesizer notes, multiple vocal layers and sharp, perky strings create an atmospheric melody, which may symbolize spirituality for listeners because of the uplifting emotions it evokes. After the events of Sept. 11, 2001, church attendance rose, and people were beginning to display their faith more openly. Despite the worldly nature of its lyrics, "Only Time" held a strong connection with those seeking comfort in God, or those who wanted some kind of answer for what happened that day.
The uniqueness of the song lies in the fact that it can be bent to fit any mood, even when it is not meant to be interpreted that way.
FAQ: What do the chants in the middle mean?
There is a controversy about the chants in the song with many claiming that it is "i love you" said backwards. Another theory is that they are ancient Gregorian chants.But the album cover reveals that the chanting is indeed meaningless, just de-da-da-day, nothing else.
