I may be missing something here and let me know if I am, but this particular youtube vid was under the title "The serenity prayer". Okay it was capitalised but whatever. And I was looking for things related to Joss Whedons Serenity. And I've been drinking wine while msning Pumpkin. We is both a little worse for wear. Besides that though. It has the text of the serenity prayer beside it. Which seems to have no relation to what Enya actually sings. I am confused. Is my hearing screwed or is it that some people will hear what ever they want to hear regardless of what is actually there ? Or I am missing the point of laying your own message over someone else's genius. Her voice is amazing. Stop trying to hijack it for anything other than she wants it to say.
As near as I can tell her first lines are
"May it be an evening star shines down upon you,
May it be when darkness falls your heart will be true,
You who walk a lonely road,
Oh how far you are from home"
Didn't go any farther because it seemed that was different enough from
"God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference. "
You can add what ever words you like but it doesn't change what she sings. Do not interrupt genius. Kthxbai.

Methinks perhaps thou dostn't have objective distance as you seem to have quite the affection for this Enya.
Perhaps this was the most 'moody' music the individual had as a background audio for their Serenity Prayer (no instrumental stuff on their 'puter?)
I don't think the lyrics she's singing have anything to do with the text, but that's just me, and I've had too much candy, so what the heck do I know?
You're friend(?)
