Pineapple Pinnacles

I have been angonizing over this one song.

Like for a couple of days. (I read some comments on YouTube and this one person took 15 years to find this song – oh dear that’s 15 years of agony)

I tried Midomi – sang and hummed on it for just about a hundred times. No less.

Came up with no matches.

I mean I cannot really blame it – after all the song does not have much sensible lyrics to begin with…

With lyrics that went like this (seriously):

Ariadiamus late ariadiamus da
ari a natus late adua

A-ra-va-re tu-e va-te
a-ra-va-re tu-e va-te
a-ra-va-re tu-e va-te la-te-a

A-na-ma-na coo-le ra-we
a-na-ma-na coo-le ra
a-na-ma-na coo-le ra-we a-ka-la…
a-na-ma-na coo-le ra-we a-ka-la……..
ah-ya-doo-ah-eh
a-na-ma-na coo-le ra-we a-ka-la…..
a-ya-doo-ah-eh…
a-ya doo a-ye
a-ya doo a-ye

Then I searched for another that could provide me with an answer – came up with SongTapper!

It works by simply tapping the song out via your SPACEBAR.

I got the hang of it about the third time. It really should not be too difficult.

Then I finally got my song!

It’s by Enya (again yes I know – previously my post on Midomi also featured Enya – I guess she’s my favorite singer!) and the song is called Adiemus.

For those who wants to know, Enya’s song was a cover from Adiemus (the group/singer).

**EDIT** Many thanks to Grace who corrected me.

I went to Enya’s official discography and found this:

There are some songs available on the Internet mistakenly attributed to Enya. Some examples are Harry’s Game or Adiemus. Harry’s Game was released by Clannad and Adiemus is from a group called “Adiemus”, some songs from “Enigma” were labeled “Enya” as well. There’s also a bootleg from Eastern Europe called “Solas”. This album was written by Ron Hardiman. The producer of this bootleg used Enya’s name for their product. Please note that on this website are listed all songs Enya has ever released.

More research on the song tells me that this song was written by a Welsh composer, Karl Jenkins.

Adiemus is the name of the song and an ensemble for Jenkins compositions.

The lyrics consists of words created by Jenkins himself and has no sense, and in which the voices are used like instruments for the music. Miriam Stockley is the person who sang the original.

This song is phenomenal. It brings us back to a time when we were free.

Free from everything around us.

**UPDATE**: I just found out that Karl Jenkins and Adiemus performed the Palladio – the same song which got Escala popular in Britain’s Got Talent!

The Escala girls are soo hot!

**UPDATE AGAIN**: Apparently there’s another string quartet called Bond – and they played the same song called Allegretto – I think they just might be better than Escala!

And the Bond girls are soo cute!

Oh dear. =))
