Enya’s Cursum Perficio: the perfect soundtrack for the Apocalypse / Armageddon / Second Coming

Being a rock music fan, where I would only ever listen to music with guitars in it, I still find it amazing that one of my favourite albums is Enya’s Watermark, and my favourite song there is arguably Cursum Perficio. It caught me the very first time I heard it, and never let go until today, 20 years later.

Listening to it immediately brought to my mind tremendous, Biblical-scale events, so much so that I’ve called it the perfect soundtrack for the Apocalypse, Armageddon or the Second Coming.

If ever there was a song playing when the heavens opened up for the Second Coming, this would be very appropriate, dont u think so?

Youtube user mehmetazk added even more esotericly:

I agree with you. Back in 1998, when I first heard it and listened to it very thoroughly it reminded me of the Crusades, but then the first half of the song reminded me of Napoleon’s sad defeat at Waterloo. The second part reminded me of Marshal Grouchy’s refusal to appear at Waterloo (to Napoleon’s rescue) with his 33,000 despite being urged by his generals: Gerard, Vandamme and Exelmans, to do so, when they all heard the terrible sound of gufire from the fields of Waterloo.

Wow!

… I can almost feel my undermount sink shaking …
