Good Monday morning friend. As I'm starting this post it is 11:11 11/11... How amazing is that... This morning, we will find out the meaning behind the song... Aniron by Enya. (Enjoy the song as well as the read)... Enya is a world-renowned Irish singer, songwriter, and musician, who has won numerous awards for her unique style of music. One of her most famous songs is “Aníron (I Desire),” which was released in 2001 as part of the soundtrack for the movie “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.” This hauntingly beautiful song has captured the hearts and minds of millions of fans all over the world. In this article, we explore the meaning behind the song “Aníron (I Desire)” by Enya. The lyrics of “Aníron (I Desire)” are in the fictional Elvish language created by J.R.R. Tolkien in his books. The song’s melody and lyrics were written by Enya, Roma Ryan, and Nicky Ryan, who are known for their collaborations on many of Enya’s songs. The lyrics of “Aníron (I Desire)” are a love song, expressing the longing and desire of two lovers who are separated by distance and circumstance. The song’s opening lines are “O môr henion i dhû: Ely siriar, êl síla. Ai!” which translates to “From darkness, I understand the night. Dreams flow, and a star shines. Ah!” The song then goes on to describe the yearning and desire of the two lovers, who are “trapped in the shadow of the night” and “crying out in the darkness.” The lyrics are romantic and poetic, capturing the essence of the couple’s intense emotions. The inspiration for “Aníron (I Desire)” comes from J.R.R. Tolkien’s books, particularly the epic tale of love and adventure in “The Lord of the Rings.” Enya and her collaborators were tasked with creating a song that embodied the emotions and themes of the movie, which tells the story of a fellowship of heroes on a quest to save their world from darkness and evil. Enya has said in interviews that she was particularly drawn to the character of Arwen, a beautiful elf princess who falls in love with the mortal hero Aragorn. The song “Aníron (I Desire)” was meant to capture the passion and longing between the two lovers, torn apart by their different worlds and the dangers threatening their love.  The music and arrangement of “Aníron (I Desire)” is typical of Enya’s style, which is characterized by haunting harmonies, ethereal vocals, and layers of instrumentation. The song’s melody is simple and repetitive, with a flowing rhythm that captures the feeling of a river running through a forest. The arrangement of the song is understated, with Enya’s voice and the simple melody taking center stage. The use of backing vocals and percussion adds depth and texture to the song, creating an immersive and emotional listening experience.     Yes, “Aníron (I Desire)” was written specifically for the movie The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Enya was approached by the filmmakers to create a song that captured the emotions and themes of the movie, and she collaborated with Roma Ryan and Nicky Ryan to create the melody and lyrics.

@braidenchapman crimes committed by 13 through 19-year-olds sentence them to military reform schools, to teach them discipline, respect, and responsibility... Then before they are to be released to serve one full year in the military service... Once the year of service is up, give them the option to further their education or stay in the military as a career... Free health care for all U.S. citizens... Make prescription drugs affordable for all who need prescription drugs...  Non-violent criminals who are serving 2 years or more to mandate they work on repairing roads, hwy, bridges and all DOT construction projects, this will help cut costs to federal funding for those projects, it will also help the states, and counties save money on man-hours...  Take care and GOD bless... ...

Good Friday morning friend, today we are going to know what is so weird but true about the great state of   Connecticut... 1). Here is a list of inventions that originated in the state of Connecticut. PEZ candy and dispensers. The hamburger. Can openers. Scrapbooks. The Frisbee. Polaroid cameras. Lollipops. Vulcanized rubber. American English dictionary (Websters).  2). Connecticut has a pretty incredible state insect: the praying mantis. These agile, head-turning masters of disguise in the insect world are definitely interesting. But, oddly enough, they are not even native insects. Instead, the praying mantis is primarily an exotic species from Europe and Africa. 3). Between 1701 and 1874, Connecticut had two state capitals: New Haven and Hartford, CT. Even though the state’s general assembly always treated Hartford as their meeting place, the two cities had different roles in the assembly. 4). If you love a good pickle, you can appreciate the fact that the state of Connecticut is pretty serious about its pickles. To be considered a true pickle, that pickle must bounce when you drop it on a hard surface. 5). Though not the largest state in the country, Connecticut is one of the most densely populated. According to some of the latest Census data, CT has just over 730 people living in each square mile of the state. This makes it the fourth most densely populated state. 6). Even though Connecticut is one of the original 13 states, this area has only been the birthplace of one US president. George W. Bush was born in Connecticut before later moving to Texas and becoming the President of the United States. 7). Connecticut is known as the Nutmeg State, a nickname that comes from the practice of residents selling fake nutmegs to southern traders. 8). The name "Connecticut" comes from the Native American word quinatucquet, which means "beside the long tidal river". 9). The rivalry between New Haven and Hartford lasted for centuries. Connecticut had two state capitals, one in each city, until 1875. The legislature would move between the two cities.  10). Connecticut is known as "The Constitution State" because it's home to the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut, which was adopted in 1639. Many consider this document to be the first written constitution of a democratic government.
