The track “Even in the Shadows”, for one, is surely a lament to lost love. “Wonder why this love is over, wonder why it’s not forever,” she sings. “Ah,” she says. “That song is me exposing myself. It’s a heartbreak song. I’ve never done a heartbreak song before.”
Enya for The Independant, 2015

"It’s, for me, one of the more emotional-journey songs. It’s about love, and where it hasn’t worked out – the anger and disappointment you feel. “I could call, I keep on calling, I could fall, I keep on falling.” Everybody goes through it. I’m no different than anybody else. This is what the song is, and it’s more about the healing aspect of it. You experienced it and you’re saying, “Life goes on, but why did I have to experience this?” You learn from it. You really do have to pick yourself up and get on with life. We felt like instead of it being a slow song, it needed more of a beat to accentuate that it will get better. At the end it’s more positive, because when you vent your anger that’s a really great way of getting over a moment like that".
Enya for The Idolator, 2015

Lyrics

Even in the shadows
l turn around
to find you walk away,
and even when I whisper
the winds will come
to steal the words I say.

I could fall and keep on falling,
I could call and keep on calling
Wonder why this love is over,
Wonder why it’s not forevermore?

Even in the silence
I hear my heart;
it’s still a part of you,
and even in the morning
when light has come
I don’t know what to do.

So high so low
I could fall and keep on falling,
I could call and keep on calling
Love may come and love may go
Wonder why this love is over,
Wonder why it’s not forever?
So high so low
I could fall and keep on falling,
I could call and keep on calling
Love may come and love may go
Wonder why this love is over,
Wonder why it’s not forevermore?
Repeat chorus x 2
