![]() Enya's red dress, unblinking intensity, and the opening-credits-to- Twin Peaks vibe of the music gives the whole thing a David Lynch-y appeal. In the video for "So I Could Find My Way"-which you may watch only after I've finished explaining why it's so great-Enya stares at the camera, apparently hologrammed into an orchestra rehearsal. So you can imagine my delight when I learned that Enya a.) is still around, b.) is still making sweet, sweet mom jams, and c.) has put out a weirdly mesmerizing music video. I still have a sleepy Pavlovian response to "Orinoco Flow." When I couldn't sleep I would play "Only Time" on a loop, which is a very dark, grown-up thing for an 11-year-old to do. For the uninitiated, Enya's music is what your mother listened to when she needed some Me Time (think Lana Del Rey in 40 years.) In any case, I was a very angsty youth and one year for my birthday a well-meaning family friend gave me an Enya CD to help me calm down. I have a complicated relationship to Enya, the ethereal Celtic queen of the '90s.
