Also Japanese, Quenya, Spanish, Loxian, Welsh.
And she's awful purty--even being 48. (Must admit to always having had
a bit of a crush on her *blush*)

How should I parse that?
1) never called me 'mother'!
2) never called me. Mother!
3) never called my mother!
And what does it mean?

Do we need a comma between her and *blush*? What does the language
police thinks about that?

A very probable legal version is at her own site
http://www.enya.com/videos.php?vid=m
Sounds a bit different than the one I have on CD, though on relistening
that version the difference is less that I initially though. Perhaps
that is partly because I also sometimes listen to the Celtic Woman version?
Reminds me of something weird (at least to me). I recently rebought
Kate & Anna McGarrigle I had it before and played it a lot but it was
left with my ex girlfriend (almost 16 years ago). When listening I
recognized the songs but had the feeling almost all arrangements were
different. Normally I remember almost every note and every scratch.

The lady’s son died before he knew that she was his mother. (Alcoholic
poising IIRC) So number 1 is correct.
It is from the play of “East Lynne” a sensation novel by Mrs Henry Wood.

Today I had a recurring discussion about the use of English in science.
Someone had submitted a manuscript for correction to a native speaker. A
number of the suggested corrections were good English but incorrect
scientific/international English. Which reminded me that sometimes at
conferences I have trouble understanding some Brits that wrongly assume
that English is the language of the conference and that therefore can
use any expression that they know. This would be a typical example.
BTW how did Ellen become Henri?

Most of the rock videos out there are actually legal. YouTube makes a lot of
deals.

Sure, but how can you know?
None of the first few hits seem to come from Enya herself or a publisher.
