    All of them are Enya songs to my knowledge. Blame YouTubesss for Adiemus. I know the Braveheart song (not the one you may thinking of) was definitely done by Enya. I can't think of the name at the moment unfortunately.
    Oh! I thought you were joking! No, there are no Enya songs on the Braveheart soundtrack. But that song does get misattributed to her constantly, along with "Adiemus."

    BG-57: Impressive! I have those as well. And the original cassette tape of her first recording "The Solar Wind" (I forget the Gaelic at the moment).

    Moon Rabbits: "Caribbean Blue" is my second favorite Enya song. My first favorite is one of her newest, which is potentially blasphemous. Its title is stupid ("My! My! Time Flies") but it's actually an extremely atypical Enya song (it has guitars! and sounds Beatles-esque!)
    Here's a cute unofficial "music video" with fun flash animation someone did:

    It sounds . . . sublime. Albeit . . . VERY amateurish in production. You've never heard the song? I think it's hiding on Enya's site in the "music room" in the interactive castle.

    The first time I heard a snippet of it (before I had my own copy) I thought for sure it was fake . . . it didn't sound very Enya at all. The piano part was MUCH more intricate than she has done since. A very different style. And the synth part, while amazing, didn't seem very Enyaesque either . . . more like something from another band called Nightnoise.

    Anyway, I'm glad to see I'm not the only Enya fan on here. :P

    Now I can admit that I'm a recording artist who records music so much like her it's practically plagiarism. :P Kidding! I don't want any lawsuits filed. :P

    I'll have to check out her site then.

    She's one of the rare artist who I have have enjoyed every album released (the other being Vangelis).

    Okay so, you're right about the Adiemus thing, but I SWEAR the she did do a Braveheart song. It' s not under her name, it's under the band she was originally with.

    Well, Shiny . . . You're half right. She WAS in the band Clannad (comprised of her siblings and uncles) for two years. But Clannad didn't have any songs in Braveheart. They had a song in Last of the Mohicans though, but that was years after Enya left them. You're hearing her sister Maire's voice.

    Wow, my Enya nerdom rears its ugly head once again!

    Does her sister sound exactly like her? If so, you could be right. I'll have to dig up that Braveheart soundtrack some where. Love that song.

    Maire Brenna sounds a lot like a much older, more worldly Enya. And she uses a similar production technique of layering many many vocal tracks with lots of reverb.

    Trust me. It's not Enya.

    And . . . I'm pretty sure it's not even Braveheart. I think we're talking about Last of the Mohicans (sp?) here.
