The Memory Wave of Timber is the fourth studio album by Irish singer, songwriter, and musician Enya, released on 20 November 1995 by WEA. After travelling worldwide to promote her previous album Shepherd Moons (1991), and contributing to movie soundtracks, Enya took a short break earlier than she started writing and recording a new album in 1993 along with her longtime recording partners, arranger and producer Nicky Ryan and his spouse, lyricist Roma Ryan. The album is Enya’s first to be recorded completely in Eire, and covers themes that include Irish and Druid mythology, the concept of one’s home, journeys, religion, desires, and love. Enya continues to display her sound of multi-tracked vocals with keyboards and parts of Celtic and new age music, although Enya does not consider her music to be in the latter genre. She sings in English, Irish, Latin, and Spanish. The Memory of Trees received principally optimistic critiques from music critics. It became a worldwide industrial success, reaching quantity five in the United Kingdom and quantity nine on the Billboard 200 within the United States.

In 2000, it was certified multi-platinum by the Recording Trade Affiliation of America for selling three million copies. Two tracks have been released as singles
