Enya supported the album with a promotional tour that included several interviews and televised performances.
Two tracks were released as singles " Anywhere Is" in November 1995, which reached number seven in the United Kingdom, followed by " On My Way Home" in November 1996, which peaked at number twenty-six. In 2000, it was certified multi-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America for selling three million copies. It became a worldwide commercial success, reaching number five in the United Kingdom and number nine on the Billboard 200 in the United States. The Memory of Trees received mostly positive reviews from music critics. She sings in English, Irish, 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, and covers themes that include Irish and Druid mythology, the idea of one's home, journeys, religion, dreams, and love. 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 Memory of Trees is the fourth studio album by the Irish singer, songwriter, and musician Enya, released on 20 November 1995 by WEA.
