Posted October 25, 200915 yr I feel like The Magic of the Night is a song that's gotten little attention and it's one of Enya's best creation [and deserved a music video]. And so, I start this topic to see what others think.
October 25, 200915 yr I have always felt that The Magic of the Night was one of the songs that most people took to right away, Enya performed it and it made a Japanese promo single. I don't think that it's underrated. If I was going to single out a track from the EP that's underrated, it would be We Wish You A Merry Christmas. It's not talked about often, but she really did wonders with that song. ^_^ At first, I didn't like the song at all, but over the years, it has grown on me. I can't say it's a favorite of mine, but I no longer dislike it.
October 27, 200915 yr Well, I'm gonna be real honest and say that Magic of the Night is over-rated - yeah, it's an upbeat, fun song, but it ain't nowhere near the songs like Only Time, China Roses, Caribbean Blue, Last Time by Moonlight, Water Shows the Hidden Heart, and so on and so on. It's not on my top 10 list, that's fer sure! :hi:
October 28, 200915 yr Author I think it's a gorgeous Christmas song, and it's timeless, and it seems as if it's always been in our lives. I'd think it's overrated if it actually received attention, but it received next to none. I don't compare it to the aformentioned tracks because it's more seasonal.
November 3, 200915 yr The magic of the night is by no means a favourite of mine, but I don't dislike it either. What does amaze me, however, is that it is not included in the new 'best of'. I was also amazed that it didn't appear on 'And winter came'. For me, the most underrated Enya track from 2006 is the gorgeous 'Christmas secrets'.
November 4, 200915 yr I am also surprised that it didn't make the very best of, it was one of the songs I included on my list. This is what I thought would make the very best of. 1. Orinoco Flow 2. Only Time 3. Caribbean Blue 4. May It Be 5. Anywhere Is 6. Wild Child 7. Book Of Days 8. Storms In Africa 9. On My Way Home 10. Evening Falls... 11. I Want Tomorrow 12. Amarantine 13. It's In The Rain 14. The Celts 15. The Magic of the Night
November 15, 200915 yr There are a lot of people in the UK who won't have 'The magic of the night' or 'Christmas secrets' as the Amarantine Christmas edition didn't chart very highly in 2006. So to many, they would have felt like new songs and worthy of inclusion on the new 'best of'.
