I've been listening to this song for a while but I have no idea what the name of this song or what the person is singing. If anyone who knows Chinese can tell me what it is I would love to know.

I think it's beautiful. Very melodic.

No ... *but* ... oddly enough ... i was humming Yoko Kanno's "Voices" at work for a while today.
First time in years. Seriously. And out of nowhere.

Hmm I googled it and I'm listening to it from a Youtube vid. Lovely.

I have three different versions of it - the one i saw first (the one that enchanted me of course) , from Macross Plus ... and then i picked up the a capella version and the live version while i was reviewing some of her work. :)

It's an old mainland song I'd guess.
The singer seems to be Yang Lian Seng and the song is [flower] blossom - I don't know the flower but I can look it up.
If you could it would be great.

EDIT: It's called the Udumbarra flower apparently - here's more on the whole story.

Thanks for the info. I love Chinese and other Asian cultures. I love the fact it has to do with Buddhism. I myself am a Buddhist.

No problems, interesting to learn about it.
