Yep, it was 'Oceania' from her upcoming album, Medùlla (in stores soon-ish, methinks). Apparently, it's written from the perspective of the ocean watching the games on land. According to her website, she was requested to write the song for the olympics a while ago and included it in her album, but the news was kept secret until the morning of the Olympic opening ceremonies. I'm such a fountain of facts today! Perhaps I shouldn't drink so much Peruvian coffee in one sitting. Luis On Saturday, August 14, 2004, at 03:27 PM, Greg Clow wrote:
