A work filled with the poetic sentiment of winter, where silence and light intertwine.
A seasonal lyric poem written in Enya's unique sonic world. Layered choruses and synth sounds create a fantastical space that alternates between cold and warm. The entire album is characterized by a unified sense of transparency.
This album further deepens Enya's tranquil sound world. Vocals and keyboards overlap in multiple layers, creating a soft sound reminiscent of a snowy landscape. While each track has a different temperature, the overall sound is consistently permeated with a quiet, prayer-like flow. The beauty of the melody and the intricate sound design harmonize to give the listener a moment of tranquility. This is one of her works that most fully embodies the healing and transcendental qualities of her music.
