When I first heard "Orinoco flow" by Enya, I immediately became obsessed with it. I recorded it on tape a couple of times so that I could listen to it more than once without rewinding. I'm not sure what drew me to it back then. I was 12. Probably just how different it was.

That being said I still really love the track. The depth. The lushness, the energy of the chorus. To me, it still sounds fresh. (Yeah, I know, I'm just old)

Thanks, #TrashTheory for the reminder.

This Trash Theory video tipped me to the fact that McCartney II is actually... Pretty good? Borderline great?!?

Listened to the whole album after the video last night and, while there are a few duds, yeah, that's mostly pretty great!
