My edits here are featuring some clips from the music video to go alongside the performance (the overlay works quite nicely with the vibrant aqua blue background 😃🌊💙 and some lyrics where it fits too. 😄

Orinoco Flow is a playful song that can be interpreted in many ways: representing Enya's musical journey leading up to the album _Watermark_ , as a world travel song, something linked to astral projection, or simply just daydreaming of travelling to all these fascinating places out of boredom. 😄🗺️❣️

As many of us first heard from Enya, Orinoco Flow is perhaps her most recognised song, just from the chorus tune *"sail away, sail away, sail away"!*
This song brought Enya's music to be recognised in the wider world.
The whole album Watermark is a timeless masterpiece, and certainly a very special Enya album. 🥰

It's nice seeing how Eithne looks (rather similar) in 1988 and nearly 30 years later as of the performance video 🤗
Quite alluring back then, yet somewhat 'strict' with herself. She maintains the elegance, though now (this performance, and present-day) Eithne is more light-hearted and relaxed, I'd like to think. 😊 Still a dreamer 😶‍🌫️🔮

Enya also re-wore this outfit in May 2025! ♡

Regarding the music, of course 🎼 it'd be interesting to hear a re-imagined Orinoco Flow re-recording by her, though new songs would be preferable. (And maybe more hummingbirds 🕊️😍)

Thank you to everyone who has watched 🤗
