2015 was a particular year. For seven long years Enya had remained a mystery. The website not updated and the disappearance of Albums and news in Italy, had left a great void inside me but in the summer of this particular year, something magical happened!
I too, like Enya, had taken a break from listening to her music but, during my stay at the sea on vacation, something brought me very close to her and, her music, she came back to me!
I have returned several times to visualize in my fantasy the imaginary and fairytale castle where I had heard Enya lived; somewhere in Ireland. From there I soon got the photo and the place where this castle was.
I felt particularly close to Enya feeling magical emotions, the only ones able to relieve me of a particular situation of my existence. That is how I decided to plan my real first, felt journey alone to Ireland. The fate and magic of a fairy tale that even surpasses the impossible, would have done the rest to bring us together.
In September 2015, from 7 to 11 (5 days, 4 nights) my trip to Dublin was planned: departure from Bergamo.
The night before departure I was very upset and slept only a few hours, early in the morning I got in the car to reach the airport two hours’ drive from home. Anxiety was skyrocketing and I couldn’t calm her down. Once on the Ryanair plane I did not feel well and, just before the door was closed for departure, I asked for help and was taken to the infirmary where I found fever. The plane left without me, goodbye dream Ireland!
A few days after September 11 (the date when my return to Italy should have taken place) Enya’s website is updated and a new album "Dark Sky Island" is announced. Other amazing syncs have made me follow in Italy from the web of direct radio abroad in which we talked about Enya and were broadcast a few minutes of preview of a new song.
To date Enya remains a protected destination and very difficult to reach. Particular you, particular me, who knows, maybe sooner or later fate will bring us together. I like it and I need to think it. It is really important to me!
