Okay, the Acadamy Award & Golden Globe Award voters didn't agree with me, but who are you going to believe: those guys, or me? LOL

Yes, I do believe that "May It Be" will be listened to long after the other nominees are forgotten, but do bear in mind that I am highly biased for all of Enya's work. For many, it may take several listens to completely appreciate. It has a certain mysticism to it, much as you would expect from a song composed for the LORD OF THE RINGS film.

However, I don't think "May It Be", brilliant as it is, matches "Isobella" in beauty, healing quality, and enchantment. Both "Isobella" and "The First of Autumn" have been unavailable in the U.S. although both were on the Japanese pressing of "A Day Without Rain".

"The First of Autumn" is the most energetic song of the three, and close to equalling the first two. While I do appreciate the thoughts of another reviewer who felt quite swept up in the sequence of the three, I personally feel the disc would've been better balanced with "The First of Autumn" between the more mystical and reflective songs, but that is hardly a criticism.

This is definitely a must have disc for all who love Enya's music. It's Enya at her very best.

I bought this single because it had some Enya tunes not otherwise available (May it be is on The Lord of The Rings soundtrack)and was pleased with each song. Enya can do very well and this CD shows it, if you like her work you'll probably want it. I'm not sure which one I like best (May it Be?), but my one complaint is the cost,[price] for three songs is so very near the cost of an album with four times as many songs on it.

While looking at all the extras on my 2-disc version of "Fellowship Of The Ring" I came across the video of Enya singing "May It Be". I was hooked by about the ten-second mark. The song instantly became a favorite of mine and I began looking for it on cd. I finally found the movie soundtrack and had the song in a format I could play in my truck. If you haven't yet seen it, the video is nothing short of fantastic! I would place this song alongside of other great movie music such as: "Moon River" and "My Heart Will Go On".

This full price CD has only three short songs on it. It is a glorified single priced like a full CD. I like Enya, the three songs are good but I HATE BEING RIPPED OFF!

Be advised: you only get 15 minutes of music. But you pay nearly full price for a full-size CD.
As always, Enya's music is most excellent. But somebody didn't do the math to determine that customers will be dissatisfied to discover that they get only three songs on this CD. It's hardly worth loading the CD into your player. You'll be swapping disks just after you sit down to enjoy it.
