SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 2:56 Min.
It is Enya’s seventh track off her 1992 Shepherd Moons album. The song appears as the primary theme for Ron Howard’s Far & Away historical romance (starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman) released that same year.
REVIEW:
It’s vintage Enya. Bolstered by a compelling melody, Enya’s poignant vocals prove ideal for an epic journey. Clearly, Ron Howard’s production team made an insightful decision choosing “Book of Days” as Far & Away’s timeless and mood-setting theme. Either as a single download, or as a centerpiece for Shepherd Moons, this track is highly recommended.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 9 Stars
