To the riddle here on Earth
The Riddle’s gone unanswered
From the moment of it’s birth
Searching for the answer
So many would pursue,
In favor of their honor
She provided just one clue
Rise up from the ashes
You decide which way to go,
Either up, down,
Or side ways,
Then you’ll need to know
You will rise, like a flame,
Rise, live again,
You will rise like a flame
Rise, live again
If you're searching for the answer

Super-cool! I love the haunting, meditative, almost Shpongle-style vocals and the half-koto, half-shamisen tone of the lovely strings... There's also something in the soundscape strongly reminiscent of my favorite Clannad songs... By the way, hey, Yaeyama Retto (Islands) -- what a place! Remote, jungly, and home of fabulous seafood and friendly Ryukyu people... Ishigaki City has some crazy nightlife, too, believe it or not! Watch out for the Kyu-ju Doh Awamori, (180-proof rice liquor), or you might wake up late and barely make your snorkeling rendezvous! Maybe the only place in the world to see and eat the indescribably delicious rainbow-colored fish called goma-aigo! The crystal-clear waters off Hateruma-jima gave me some of the most spectacular diving experiences I've ever had, too.
I saw the Clannad reference upon 2nd or 3rd glance through your post and thought, "Yes, that's what I'm hearing too!" Fun to know that someone else shares the same, slightly esoteric, musical tastes. Thanks coloradojohn, for taking the time to write your posts. I may not always agree with them, but I always enjoy them.
But I wonder if we listened to the complete album if we would tire of it ..... (Too much the same)
