It follows a waltz time signature, and mentions the Anemoi (Ancient Greek wind gods): Boreas, Afer Ventus (Africus), Eurus, and Zephyrus. The song was released as the lead single from the album on 7 October 1991 by WEA. "Caribbean Blue" reached number eight on the Irish Singles Chart and number 13 on the UK Singles Chart.
The earliest attestation of the word in Greek and of the worship of the winds by the Greeks, are perhaps the Mycenaean Greek word-forms 𐀀𐀚𐀗𐀂𐀋𐀩𐀊, a-ne-mo-i-je-re-ja, 𐀀𐀚𐀗𐄀𐀂𐀋𐀩𐀊, a-ne-mo,i-je-re-ja, i.e. "priestess of the winds".
Eurus=East, Boreas=North, Zephyrus=West, and Africus=Southwest, which makes sense, given the degrees. Since Afer Ventus (African wind) is the same as Africus so I'd say it should also be two-two-five. Not that I used any special knowledge to figure this out beyond the Wikipedia search bar. --Daniel (talk) 04:48, 6 March 2013 (UTC) Thanks, Daniel!
