| "Orinoco Flow" | |
|---|---|
| Song |
In 1988 Irish singer Enya released the break-through single "Orinoco Flow" (which is often incorrectly referred to as "Sail Away," a phrase repeated during the chorus). In 1998 a special edition 10th anniversary remix single was released. The song was highly popular in the early ’90s and was featured on many pop music compilations. The song "Out Of The Blue" was also released as "Portrait (Out Of The Blue)" on other albums.
The division of syllables to follow the pattern of music may trick the listener into thinking that the song is written in Latin (as several Enya tracks are), but the lyrics are in fact English.
