Liner Notes:
It is much easier to imagine a beautiful place on a rainy day than to imagine a dreary one. It is a simple fact, often forgotten, that people may create something good merely by thinking it so. A day-dream is as rich a gift as any. Like Afer Ventus, the wind from Africa, or Eurus, the East wind, Boreas from the North or the gentle Zephyrus, the imagination is free and can choose and create its own journey. As with all dreams we reach for the ideal, and ‘Caribbean Blue’ represents such a dream. A daydream is as rich a gift as any. Like Afer Ventus, the wind from Africa, or Eurus, the East wind, Boreas from the North or the gentle Zephyrs, the imagination is free and can choose and create its own journey. As with all dreams, we reach for the ideal and we find ourselves in Caribbean Blue…
Quotes about the song:
My favourite fable is one by Aesop. It tells of a journey that an old man made, with his young son and their donkey. Everyone they met on that journey had an opinion as to how the old man and his son should travel and, no matter what they did, someone complained about it. If the man rode the donkey, they were criticised. If the boy rode the donkey, they were criticised. If both rode the donkey they were criticised. If neither rode the donkey, they were criticised. They could not please everyone. In fact, they could not please anyone!
Well, the moral of this story is that you have to live your life, you have to trust your own judgement. So many people tell you so many different things. So much of it is nonsense. Find out what’s important to you. Live. Life is short.
You have your own journey to make. Make it the best you can. Certainly there are people whose advice you welcome, but in the end you need to find out for yourself how blue the sky is. Maybe it isn’t blue at all?
Well, again, it was Roma who came up with the title to ‘Caribbean Blue’, says Enya. “We had arranged the melody and she was reminded of the Caribbean, but then she felt it’s a trip of a difference. It’s like ‘Orinoco’ where you are taken through a dreamlike fantasy trip. She felt the same way about the music, and, therefore, she based the lyrics on this trip through this beautiful fantasy world.”
Lyric:
…Eurus…
…Afer Ventus…
…so the world goes round and round
with all you ever knew-
they say the sky high above
is Caribbean Blue…
…if every man says all he can,
if every man is true,
do I believe the sky above
is Caribbean Blue?
…Boreas…
…Zephyrus…
…if all you told was turned to gold,
if all you dreamed was new,
imagine sky high above
in Caribbean Blue…
