I didn't expect such a huge reaction, but I knew I was doing something different to everything else that was happening at the time.
EnyaI do a so-called trip into myself: I sit down at the piano and the melody might start to evolve from my playing or then I might start to sing it.
EnyaThere is no formula to it because writing every song, for me, is a little journey. The first note has to lift you and make you go, 'What's this?' You play C, but why is it that one day it leads to G and it didn't yesterday? I don't know. It's everything. It's the walk you take in the morning, it's the night before, the meeting with people, landscapes, the chats, all of that evolves in some way into melody, but I'm not sure how it's going to happen. I'm dealing with the unknown all the time and that is exciting.
