    My Opinion

    I absolutely adore this song. It touches the deepest part of my heart, for some reason. I sometimes listen to it on a loop, just because it's so beautiful.

    This song is Karl Jenkins' masterpiece featuring Miriam Stockey as lead vocals. It is often attributed wrongly to Enya, whose voice is great too, but clearly not the same as Miriam. I hope this is clear now.

    Oh! I always thought it was Enya, from the first time I heard the song and didn't even know who it was by! Weird, huh? I looked it up the other day and Karl Jenkins' name kept coming up but I couldn't really figure out exactly how he came into it.

    Thanks Ozzy for clearing that up.

    Poor Jenkins. He's not even getting the credit for his own music (which is awesome, by the way).

    Lol what is ironic that Ads by Google says "Enya - Listen" :P

    Even this site is getting it wrong :(

    Forgive the un-initiated here, but is this song in some foreign language, or is it just random chanting? Very curious if there is some cultural history to this song.

    Ok I just listen to this when I'm sad, happy, angry, tired, depressed, or anything else. I just LOVE it. Its a break from real life.

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
