Dieses Album der herausragenden, mystisch-anmutigen irischen Musikerin und Komponistin Enya ist durch den auf ihm enthaltenen Song „Only Time“ ein Klassiker. Der Song berührte nach den Attentaten des 11. Sept. 2001 die Seelen vieler Menschen, drückte deren schmerzvolle Gefühle aus, für die es keine Worte gab und brannte sich somit völlig ungeplant ins kollektive Gedächtnis auf ewig ein. Zugleich zeigt der Erfolg von „Only Time“, welche Intensität Enyas Musik hat und so ist er beispielhaft für das gesamte Album, das ihm in nichts nachsteht: In ihren in sich stimmigen Melodien, in ihren weisen Texten, aber vor allem durch ihre berührende, kristallklare Stimme kommt Enya dem Hörer sehr nahe. Auch auf „A Day Without Rain“ wird Enyas Gesang zum Teil auf mehreren Spuren von sich selbst überlagert, was ihrem Werk den typisch Enya-haften, kathedralen Geist verleiht.

Irish singer-songwriter and musician Enya released her fifth studio album, A Day Without Rain, in November 2000. Like the Enya fans have grown acustomed to, she sings in her multi-tracked, ethereal voice, acompanying Roma Ryan's lyrics, which are full of pastoral imagery and abstract romantic sentiments.
A Day Without Rain received mixed reviews from critics, who felt it too derivative of Enya's previous albums, but it was a commercial success peaking at No. 6 in the United Kingdom and initially, No. 17 on the Billboard 200 in the United States.
After the September 11, 2001 terror attacks, sales of the album and its lead single, "Only Time," skyrocketed after it was used by several radio and television networks in their coverage and aftermath of the attacks. As a result, "Only Time" climbed to No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and A Day Without Rain reached a new peak on the Billboard 200 at No. 2. It became the fifth highest selling album of 2001 in the United States, and the best selling new age album of all time with an estimated 16 million copies sold worldwide. It remains Enya's highest selling album of her career. In 2002, the album won Enya her third Grammy Award for Best New Age Album.
Having sold 75 million albums worldwide, and won four Grammys among a bushelful of honors, Enya is one of the most successful female artists of all time and second only to U2 as the biggest selling Irish artist in history.

Description
2000 masterwork A Day Without Rain followed 1995's Grammy winning The Memory Of Trees and was once again composed by Enya, produced by Nicky Ryan and features lyrics from Roma Ryan. The best selling new age album of all time with an estimated 16 million copies sold worldwide, its comprised of a heavenly mix of ethereal vocals, cinematic atmospherics and lush harmonies. The title track opens the album with a subtle graceful air of expectancy, and is followed by the lilting "Wild Child." Smash lead single "Only Time," is a sublime combination of romance and melancholy. Other highlights include the brooding gothic intensity of "Tempus Vernom," the divine "Fallen Embers" and the catchy "Lazy Days." A Day Without Rain is a cathedral of sound, a glorious all-enveloping choral tide.
