On a winter night when snow quietly drifts down, you feel like immersing yourself in music so beautiful it cleanses the soul.
The perfect piece for such tranquil moments is “Amid The Falling Snow” by Enya, the songstress born in Ireland.
Her layered, crystal-clear vocals and the tones of the synthesizer bring warmth to the cold air.
Featured toward the end of the acclaimed 2005 album “Amarantine,” this track captivates with a sound that evokes a magical winter landscape.
The album itself received worldwide acclaim, including a Grammy Award, so its artistic merit is beyond question.
It’s an ideal song for those who want to savor the gentle afterglow of winter.

Book Of DaysEnya
Enya is Ireland’s multi-talented, one-of-a-kind artist.
Her unique worldview, rooted in Celtic music, is outstanding.
This track, included on the soundtrack of the Tom Cruise–starring film Far and Away, is one of her most popular healing pieces.
We Wish You A Merry ChristmasEnya
Since it’s a traditional piece well known as a choral work, many of you have probably heard it before.
This time, because Enya has covered it and shaped it with a sense of “transparency, healing, and fantasy,” the key points of how to sing it are completely different from a standard choral version.
Enya’s charm lies in her breathy whisper voice.
Unlike the sparkling style of typical choral pieces, her understated delivery and the way she handles word endings are especially distinctive.
The tempo is relaxed, so you can take a breath for each phrase, and it may be good to sing carefully while keeping a consistent head resonance.
For the phrase endings, rather than adding vibrato, letting the sound fade away smoothly will give it that whisper-voice quality—I highly recommend it.
