A letter to Enya

August 2017

Dear Enya,

I've been a fan of your music for a very long time, ever since I was in high school and heard your song "Carribbean Blue" on alternative radio. Oh, and I think your song "Sail Away" was used in a commercial for a cruise liner. In fact, during high school my imaginary girlfriend bore a striking resemblance to you. I never told you this before, but then again this is my first ever letter to you, so whatever.

Anyhow, for a while I had almost all of your albums on CD, but I have to admit that I lost track of you about 12 or so years ago. Back then I was more gentle and considerate, but that was apparently just a phase as I am more of a cynical jackass these days and listen more to punk rock than your relaxing music.

I think it was great that you did music for the first Lord of the Rings movie and frankly I was pissed off that they didn't have you do music for the other movies. I also want to mention that I really like the vocals on the soundtrack to Twin Peaks. I realize that you weren't involved with that, but I just wanted to say that.

So I had the idea that maybe you could do some songs for a Star Wars movie. Enclosed with this letter I have included a demo tape. It's only about 15 seconds long. I hope you have a minidisc player, because that's all I could use to record with. I'm frankly pretty pissed off that audio cassettes have lasted longer as a format than minidiscs, because minidiscs are way cooler. It's stupid though that my computer can't handle 32 bit drivers for my minidisc player. I mean, if people can emulate a Commodore 64 on a PC, why can't it use drivers to an OS format that was used just less than 10 years ago? Anyhow, here is what I've come up with so far, set to the Imperial March from Star Wars:

Who can say where the road goes, only time
And who can say if your love grows, only time
Who can say why your heart sighs
As your love flies, only time, only time

So that's all I could do. You're pretty smart and talented, so I reckon you can figure out the rest. Let me know what you think. If you reject it, please just don't let me know because I have a hard time handling rejection. Like, there was that time when I went to my senior prom but I didn't want to go alone, so I took my pet dog and everyone laughed. It was a male dog, but I was hoping nobody would notice. He wasn’t my date or anything. Why does everyone have such a dirty mind?

Sincerely,
Your Greatest Fan
