  • What is the name of this song???? Its so beautiful

  • The song is entitled "Book of Days" by Enya. The song was originally released as a bonus track in the original Gaelic-language version on her 1988 album, "Watermark" and a featured track on her 1991 album, "Shepard Moons". An english version was featured prominently in the film, "Far and Away" in 1993. All releases of the song are in english from 1993 onward. This song was what inspired James Cameron for the style of music score needed for his 1997 film, "Titanic".

  • great video thanks for posting have you or do you know of any videos of her arriving in long beach in 1967

  • There are only a handful that are widely known. The user "shipgeek" has a short home movie (8mm i believe) that was taken across from Pier E (where she berthed the morning of Dec. 9th) and there are a couple newsreel clips that you can also find on youtube as well.

see all
