SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 4:09 Min.
Despite its actual name, it’s the title tune (Track # 2) off Enya’s 1988 Watermark album. The Latin phrase translates to “watermark,” or, specifically, the end of one’s journey (from a first person point-of-view).
REVIEW:
Unlike other tracks on Watermark, “Cursum Perficio” isn’t likely to inspire a meditative or relaxing mood. Its initial gentleness evolves into a seemingly ominous narrative, per the song’s extensive choral chanting. Enya’s fans can best appreciate this track’s sophistication, but the noticeably dramatic “Cursum Perficio” doesn’t apply towards practical use (i.e. yoga and massage therapy).
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 5 Stars
