Happy 57th Birthday, Enya! Her full name (in Irish) is Eithne Pádraigín Ní Bhraonáin. Her most famous hit "Orinoco Flow" (with the repeated lyrics "sail away") is from 1988. She is Ireland's best-selling solo artist of all time. I chose this tie to recall the gentle swirls and twists of her singing. Last year's post for this date (with a different tie!) included some of my favorite lyrics, from "Anywhere Is."
