well, i just want to post this stuff long time ago. just happened to remember it and yeah, post-haste (pun intended)
okay, that was cheesy. anyway, this song is one of the song i fall about. it's lovely and chilling at the same time. gives you some weird vibes, but you'll be longing for it. the first i heard of it was few months ago, while this song is being one of opening song on one series, Dantalian no Shoka (Bibliotheca Mystica de Dantalian)
if i had to describe its genre, its avant-garde, fantasy, ethereal, kind-of-opera-song. and if i had to describe its music, its only a grand voice, with piano and orchestra set as background music. but i think the main appeal here is the voice. i just fall in love the moment i hear of it. well, maybe people who hate opera and kind of grand music won't take liking of this song. i don't blame 'em. but for me, this kind of song is a refreshment for my ears. after hearing distortion and any other, this song is pretty relaxing to me.
there's something funny about this song. its about the lyrics. at first, you might think you heard some latins that she speaks, but it isn't. i google some discussions and yeah, people who speaks latin confirmed that there's isn't any single latin they could heard. rather its called "Ratin-ish". what the hell is that ? you know that japanese had this kind of habits, turning the language into their accent, and words are adaptating as well. its happening on this song.
might as well you see the lyrics by yourself.

Cae lie imam plati nor main.
Tempo le imam celer or mint.
Nihil dis scio Igo rina nis.
Igo clama re nihil minus.

in a voice audible to no one.
The repeating rising and falling of the tides
are the scene of the moon's vanishing memory.
The stars record arcanely
in a script decipherable to no one.
From the swirls of infinite words,
billions of books are born.
To me, the sky is too vast,
Without knowing anything,
I'm gathering words in vain,
which only end up rotting in the earth.
Yet still, I will clamor.
Not even knowing why, I raise my voice.
May my echo continue up into the celestial space.
Then, a new sun will eventually rise as well.
in a voice audible to no one.

The despicable darkness answered me,
saying that no one has ever seen the future.
I reach my hands into the empty sky,
Oh, despair, blow through me!
All dreams and agonies will become the past.
In the faint twilight above the snoozing earth,
towards the tomorrow that's not yet visible.
