- It's funny you mentioned all of these songs, I think I understand what it
- is you're finding melodically pleasing in all of these. I think it's
- Enya's singing, and perhaps even a faster background rhythm, but whatever
- it is, it's sure not hard to tell when you've encountered a song with this
- 'magic' if you will...
