The lush "Orinoco Flow," which became a #1 single in the UK stands out with its plucked pizzicato strings and vibrant sound. These three songs alone is reason enough to get this album. It really does paint a stark portrait of an exile, especially with the lyrics: "I'll wait the signs to come/I'll find a way/I will wait the time to come/I'll find a way home." Somehow, the exile will come home to his (her) family and friends. A flute breaks the silence in the second song as a deep contrast from the strings. The lush instrumentation in "On Your Shore," "Exile," and "Evening Falls" really highlight Enya's vocals. "Eternum" is sung four times, and then comes that final chord, signalling her last breath. Loosely translated, it means "my journey ends here." The frenzied part of the song and chorus reflects the whirlwind way in which Marilyn's life ended.
The haunting Latin "Cursum Perficio" was inspired by an inscription written on the portico of the Brentwood house Marilyn Monroe died in. They are emotional paintings in an audial museum, tugging at the listener with a sense of wonder. Simply lovely piano instrumentals such as the title track and "Miss Clare Remembers" glide with a calm majesty.
