Only Time By ENYA ( Cover by Janhavee)

Only Time By ENYA ( Cover ... Lyrics & Chords

ENYA, is one of our family’s Favorite Female singers along with Sade, Loreena Mckennet and quite a few others.

Thanks to BOB’s Karaoke Player, website from where i borrowed this K-track.

Didn’t find the original K-track, so had to play around a little bit with whatever i could find. Anyways, i had to give it a try, for its wonderful and meaningful lyrics. I know trying an English number by female singers is a road less traveled ……Well, here is my humble effort.


ONLY TIME

Original By: Enya
Cover, Mixing & Harmonies : By Janhavee

Who can say where the road goes
Where the day flows, only time
And who can say if your love grows
As your heart chose, only time

Who can say why your heart sighs
As your love flies, only time
And who can say why your heart cries
When your love lies, only time

Who can say when the roads meet
That love might be in your heart
And who can say when the day sleeps
If the night keeps all your heart
Night keeps all your heart

Who can say if your love grows
As your heart chose
- Only time
And who can say where the road goes
Where the day flows, only time

Who knows? Only time

Subbu said

nice attempt Janhavee….you seemingly have put in a lot of effort and particularly liked the fact you sound reasonably “western” in this attempt of yours……I dont know the original though….in a similar genre……you could attempt sad movies(Sue thompson version),I have a dream(abba version) type numbers

Regards,
Subbu.

Janji,
I’ve not heard the original. However,it was a sweet rendition by you. You’re quite capable of doing much more difficult songs which should be your fort.
Full stars to you ! Keep it up.
GOD Bless !
Loving Best Wishes,
Thinkal Govind Kumar.

Dear Harshan, Karthigaa, Subbu, Sai, Radhika, TGK, Jenefa, Rashmi and RK,

Thank You all for your time and appreciation for the humming part. Infact, its much different from the original. As the interlude seemed very bland to me, i filled in with the same tune humming. Someday i will try to get my hands on the original K-track and re-do it. I urge you all to listen to ENYA’s music ….she is very soulful :-)

#Thank You TGK Ji for giving me a 5/5. Appreciate it.

  1. Subbu, i will definitely try other english numbers. I remember “Sad Movies….always makes me cry”… learnt it at school music class. But its been so long that i have to revist the verses & tune :-) :-) BTW….hope we are talking about the same song :-)

Thank You All.

Cheers

Very well sung, Janhavee. Liked it a lot but I thought the mixing cold have been a little better. It would definitely improve the quality of the rendition.

Janhavee I love this songgg!!!! Many a times, when I sit alone and listen to it, I feel so so relaxed!
You have made a good attempt… However I agree with Surajit on the mixing… ur voice wasn’t very well blended with the backing track, which is essential to get the ‘feel’ this song originally has right… Anyway good attempt… keep singin… cheers…!!

Thank You ! Surjit, Neha, Srini and Smitha,
For your comments and feed back.

Surjit & Neha……I am still new to mixing environment…. learning new stuff and trying to incorporate it. Moreover, as i said earlier the backing track was bland at some points so had to fill in with the humming. Guess with a better K-track it might sound better :-)

Smitha, thank you for your 5/5. I’m glad you like this song of mine. Appreciate it.

Cheers

Janhavee,
Both me and my wife love Enya. This is a decent attempt. However, diction and feel are quite different and could be a lot better. Enya’s songs have a haunted/dreamy feel and she is pitch perfect. Part of the beauty is in the mix and part of it is her voice. I thought something was missing as far as this was concerned. But I am glad you are bold enough to try different things.

Janhavee said

Thanks! George for your comments.

I mainly attempted this song because of the wonderful lyrics felt it was kind of easy to sing.
Will keep improving and having fun :-)
Mixing could have been better as others pointed.

Glad to know, ENYA is not an unknown figure….in your case. Do you both listen to DIDO as well ??

Cheers
