Here is another wonderful lyric from Enya’s debut album Amarantine. The lyric and the music of this track is wonderful. I particularly like the chorus voice and tune which is undoubtedly stimulating.
Every time, the rain comes down
Close my eyes and listen
I can hear the lonesome sound
Of the sky, as it cries
[Chorus Begins]
Listen to the rain!
Here it comes again!
Hear it in the rain!
[Chorus Ends]
Feel the touch of tears that fall
They won’t fall forever
In the way, the day will flow
All things come, all things go
[Chorus Begins]
Listen to the rain!
Here it comes again!
Hear it in the rain!
[Chorus Ends]
Late at night, I drift away
I …read more

Enya won the Grammy Award for New Age Music for her album Amarantine for the year 2006. Here is the lyric of the title track Amarantine, one of the best love song I ever listened. The lyric simply melts in love:
Lyric:
You know when you give your love away
It opens your heart, everything is new
And you know time will always find a way
To let your heart believe it’s true
You know love is everything you say
A whisper, a word, promises you give
You feel it in the heartbeat of the day
You know this is the way love is
Amarantine

Love is, love is, love…

It’s silly to ask who is the World’s Number One DJ of 2007? sure i can expect flood of answers:Armin Van Buuren, who never employees engineers for his albums. Though Armin Van Buuren is a newcomer he has reached the very top in a slow-and-steady pace. His latest release Universal Religion 2008, Balearic inspired LIVE recording at Amnesia nightclub in Ibiza, is a pleasant remix that tempt to whirl party dance. “This live CD proves how well aware he is about keeping the crowd partying and the music flowing” says a fan.
Armin himself remarked once, “It adds to the …read more

I hope many of you might have seen Yuka Sato (two time Olympian champion) skating to Jim Brickman’s “Coming Home for Christmas” on NBC. The program has been broadcasted on Dec 25 as a special feature on Capital One’s HOLIDAY CELEBRATION ON ICE.
Though I haven’t found the video version of the program, for god sake, I won’t miss the chance of hearing “Coming Home for Christmas” at anytime. Thus my midos too, isn’t it?

There is a good amount of suspicion that Sissel’s Northern Lights might be in the list of ‘Top 10 New Age Music of 2007’ (yet to come in Newagevibe). Sissel kyrkjebo, a norwegian singer, binds you still with her excellent performance and distinct vocal. I can’t forget her wondrous soundtrack in Titanic, her popular 1994 Winter Olympics performance and the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony.

Though she is often compared with Celtic vocalist Enya, Sissel has a unique voice which fits Old classical melodies to Traditional folk, Modern jazz to Hip-Hop, Pop to Punk and New age to Operatic arias.
She joins with …read more
