Caribbean Blue

[C’est la VoR]

I do think that this might be the most soothing song ever recorded.

Haha at that poll title

Caribbean Blue is a truly beautiful song, one of Enya’s best.

My only critique (perhaps irrelevant haha, but seems like it could work) is that it could've been more Caribbean or reggae-influenced*. Irish musicians tend to do reggae justice.
*Edit - if it had anything to do with the song below, the Caribbean bit is more about the mystery of the colour, rather than the vibe of the place, so that doesn't matter.
Of course, this Enya creation is beautiful as it is

Whilst none surpass the original, there are some nice slower versions, remixes etc..

Favourite other remixes I've heard of this song:

Spoiler

Uploading the originals where possible
Probably the best dance-type one

Instrumental but I quite like it

Apart from the random giggle, this one is rather interesting ️

The vocal could be louder; this kind of has an Aqua style to it.

This song is also called Caribbean Blue
and it was from 2 years earlier, in 1989 (and Enya did visit Japan that year, promoting Watermark. )
I don't watch or know much anime (Pokémon being the main one I know; I watched Howl's Moving Castle ages ago, and know about Spirited Away and Totoro) or manga films.
However, I certainly appreciate the art, especially for older ones like this.
Ace o Nerae!/Aim for the Ace! Final Stage.



The main character, Hiromi, is a tennis player. I think it sort of follows her from the early days in older iterations, and this 'final stage' is when she succeeds. Aside from that it's illustrated, the sporty aspect and guy she falls for or something, I suppose she kind of resembles Enya.

As for the song, I really like Hiroko's singing, and the tune is quite memorable too.
I think she sings more for the show, and the album 'Prime Privacy' of course. Instrumentally/arrangement-wise Enya's is more unique, but I'm glad to have found this lovely song too.

The video is very artistic and all

But Madam leading young boys through bushes, hushing them whilst luring them with promises of chocolate?

She is Pennywise the Clown in a ball gown

I just discovered this fan-made video

Spoiler: Unrelated video but same avatar software haha

(Not sure what that avatar platform is but the Delight woman here seems closer

 

[disneyteletubby]

This is quite cool, AI generation as if Enya's castle interior had a sort of Caribbean Blue video theme.

I'd only heard of 'whimsigoth' from Enyacore in 2023.

Spoiler: New-ish Caribbean Blue remixes

I was randomly thinking of this one, can't find the uploads of it on YouTube anymore (maybe copyright strike, it did use others' tracks) but remembered the Diana theme and the quote

These seem relatively recent (last year) and quite interesting


Especially this one with the vocal effects

 

[Lonely Sardophony (We Will Be Free)]

Her best song.

This remix





I discovered it a few days ago (from YouTube, and just found the full track uploaded on Soundcloud too). It doesn't feature much of Enya singing, but does feature a spoken quote of hers c.2015, which is a cool, classy addition.
