Enya - Boadicea

Boadicea is a soundtrack song by Irish singer-songwriter Enya, from her 1987 eponymous soundtrack album. It was composed by Enya and Roma Ryan.

“Boadicea” stands for “victorious”, and is a reference to Queen Boudica of the British-Celtic Iceni tribe in East Anglia who led a resistance against the occupying forces of the Roman Empire in 60 A.D., but was defeated and subsequently poisoned herself.

The song appears as the thirteenth (13th) track on the side two of the album.

Boadicea has been widely sampled in instrumentals by artists, notably by Fugees in their 1996 song Ready or Not and Mario Winans in his 2003 song I Don’t Wanna Know.

We’ll never know how Enya does her magic, but we love her to bits all the same ??.
