Enya's voice is strong, peaceful, beautiful, and original!

"Only time" is the US top ten single and the first from the Irish diva's Multi-Platinum top-seller "A day without rain". Enya has a very soothing voice, a New Age Enigma type sound. This song releases stress and soothes the mind. "Only time" is an inspiring instrumental masterpiece and running at about 3:35, it's one of the highlights of "A day without rain". Her lyrics are also great as Enya answers the questions in life. She sings her melodies singing her way through questions like "Who can say why your heart sighs, As your love flies?" and ending the questions in life with "Only time". Basically she talks about how love grows and where you end up in life. It's the single that lead "A day without Rain" to be one of 2001's top sellers!

Two other tracks you find on this CD-single are "The first of Autumn" and "The Promise". "The first of Autumn" is a beautiful track where Enya shows us some of her strongest vocals ever. It's a captivating mixed instrumental work of art. You just have to love it. She once again talks about love here but describing it with more emotions.

The Promise is a slightly different recording. At a little over two minutes, it's another significant tour de force of Enya that I love. It's a little something for the 1990 "The Voice Of Enigma" fans!

I heard the song "only time" several times and that was what prompted me to buy the CD. However, The quality of the disk is not good. The other two songs on the CD are so poorly done that they don't deserve a second playing.

This is a very nice song! I didn't like it at first, cuz it's a slow song and i'm used to fast, but then i heard it a few times, and then it grew on me. I think Enya is a extremely talented singer, and from what i hear, she's gonna go far.
