Amarantine is the title tune of an album of the same name by Irish musician Enya. The album was released on November 22, 2005. It won the Grammy in 2007 for Best New Age Album and is the third top selling new age album of the 2000s in the US. The amaranth colour is a shade of deep purple-red.
The album was launched in the Castle of Vaux Le Vicomte near Paris. Record company Warner gave Enya an impressive banquet starting with fireworks set to the new music. Enya wore amaranth dresses throughout the entire promotional tour.
"We called the album 'Amarantine' to mean everlasting. Poets use the word to describe an everlasting flower and I loved the image of that." -Enya
Enya's signature sound uses simple arrangements with extensive multitracking vocals. The vocals are performed individually, and are then layered together to form a virtual choir, although all the voices are Enya herself.
This instrumental version has three steel guitars playing the lead: the Steelocaster, a Charvel Jackson electro-acoustic, and a MSA Classic XL pedal steel. Key of Ab. The other instruments used on this recording were a Martin Custom X guitar and a Roland E-09 keyboard.
