The song "On Your Shore" is taken from "Watermark", the second studio album by Irish singer, songwriter and musician Enya. It was released on September 19, 1988 by WEA. Enya got a recording contract with Warner after a chance meeting with the president Rob Dickins, who had become a fan of her music. This contract allowed Enya a great deal of artistic and creative freedom and the opportunity to work with her longtime collaborators, Nicky Ryan and his wife, Roma Ryan. They recorded the album in ten months, first in Ireland as a demo before production was moved to London for re-recording, mixing and digital mastering.
Watermark features music in a variety of styles, showcasing Enya's sound, with multi-tracked vocals, keyboards, percussion, and elements of Celtic, ambient and new-age music. The album showcases Enya's unique sound and her use of multi-layered vocal harmonies. Although Enya does not believe her music belongs in the new-age genre, the album contains elements of it.
