   I’m interested in the song “Moana,” and looking to see if the song is about the hotel Moana Surfrider, or if it is about a Hawaiian girl named Moana. Is there a way to listen to just that one track? Or if you could give a listen and let me know a few lines of the lyrics?

     I had to dig a bit deep for this one. The album was in my vinyl collection and the only digitized version is an old transfer I performed (still unprocessed, scratchy, and not separated into individual tracks).
     However, I found the song and it’s opening lyrics are:

     Where the waters glow I hear the echo of your name, Moana
     Where the roses grow, your fragrant kisses still remain, Moana.
     Everywhere I go, I see you like a shining star.
     For you’re so wonderful, wonderful you are.
