The Memory of Trees is the fourth studio album by Irish singer, songwriter and musician Enya, released on 20 November 1995. The Memory of Trees was certified multi-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America for shipments in excess of three million. She sings in English, Gaelic, Latin and Spanish. Enya continues to display her sound of multi-tracked vocals with keyboards and elements of Celtic and new age music, though Enya does not consider her music to be in the latter genre. The album is Enya's first to be recorded entirely in Ireland.
