Enya – Orinoco Flow Lyrics | 14 years ago |
I don't think it's about sailing at all. I think it's about music taking you somewhere you might not be able to go on your own--hence the line, "Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up." The references to the studio name (Orinoco--now part of Miloco Studios, U.K.), Rob Dickens, and Ross Cullum serve to substantiate this theory. All that said, if what one takes from the song is merely a sense of escape, that's not such a bad thing, and certainly what Roma wanted. It's actually a pretty powerful song. It sure takes a beating from Pop Culture thugs (South Park--I'm lookin' at you!!!)... |
