'''''The Memory of Trees''''' is the fourth studio album by Irish singer, songwriter, and musician [[Enya]], released on 20 November 1995 by [[Warner Music Group|WEA]]. After travelling worldwide to promote her previous album ''[[Shepherd Moons]]'' (1991), and contributing to film soundtracks, Enya took a short break before she started writing and recording a new album in 1993 with her longtime recording partners, arranger and producer [[Nicky Ryan]] and his wife, lyricist [[Roma Ryan]]. The album is Enya's first to be recorded entirely in Ireland, and covers themes that include [[Irish mythology|Irish]] and [[Druid]] [[Celtic mythology|mythology]], the idea of one's home, journeys, religion, dreams, and love. Enya continues to display her sound of multi-tracked vocals with keyboards and elements of [[Celtic music|Celtic]] and [[New-age music|new age music]], though Enya does not consider her music to be in the latter genre. She sings in [[English language|English]], [[Irish language|Irish]], [[Latin]], and [[Spanish language|Spanish]].

Enya supported the album with a promotional tour that included several interviews and televised performances. ''The Memory of Trees'' won Enya her second [[Grammy Award]] for [[Grammy Award for Best New Age Album|Best New Age Album]] in 1997.
