I linked to the timestamp of Enya mentioned in that clip on the post earlier π definitely nice knowing, though I wonder if she is into any more from Shepherd Moons, or Enya's music in general.
In addition to Caribbean Blue, I'd associate Ebudae, perhaps China Roses, Cursum Perficio, Even In The Shadows and Trains and Winter Rains with the sort of song styles Billie would do. π΅
Their careers aren't exactly as comparable at the same age (Enya in 1985 or so) but the involvement with film names sort of is (Billie's concert collaboration with director James Cameron). His offer with Enya for Titanic in 1997 seemed a bit underwhelming though, haha. π
Enya was involved with The Frog Prince through former film producer David Puttnam, and then had the offer to compose for BBC documentary The Celts.
Both busy and strong-willed Celts! πππΆ
Enya was asked to compose the Titanic soundtrack, but she said in an interview that βsome directors are difficult to work withβ. James Cameron has a reputation for being such a director and he likely would have tried to interfere a lot. Enya (Nicky and Roma) famously always had full autonomy over their music. It would have been a disaster.
I do love how many tracks on the OST obviously emulated Enyaβs style and I actually bought and enjoyed the album. Also a treat that Enyaβs sister, Moya (RIP π₯Ί) contributed a track in the sequel album, βReturn to Titanicβ. I enjoyed that album too.
Yes re: βCome Josephineβ¦β. It what Rose sings to herself when sheβs floating on the wooden door in the freezing Atlantic while looking at the sky. Perfectly haunting.
And I agree, Sissel did a wonderful job. I just hope she wasnβt under such pressure under James Cameronβs reputation
