    Not quite true - several other zones also have vocals in their BGM, although some it's just synthesized gibberish and not actual lyrics (and not a full song like Ultima Thule has with Close in the Distance):

    Old Sharlayan (daytime): The Ewer Brimmeth has the last two parts of Flow's lyrics (sung by Amanda Achen)
    The Crystarium (nighttime): Knowledge Never Sleeps likewise has the last two parts of Tomorrow and Tomorrow (also sung by Amanda Achen)
    The Rak'tika Greatwood: Civilizations famously has a synthesized vox effect as 'lyrics' (that sounds like "LAHEEE!" at the start, which became a meme)
    Mare Lamentorum: One Small Step seems to have lyrics/etherial chanting (I'm sure I hear "twisting, turning" and "transcending" in it, but it's probably another synthesized vox effect and not actual lyrics).

    Also back in 1.0 every zone had it's BGM replaced with a spooky a capella version of Answers no matter where you were in it's final month of operation in the lead up to the Calamity (the version that plays during the Rising event every year isn't the same track incidentally).

    I admit I love Close in the Distance, and am perfectly happy to have the full version playing "post Final Day" in Ultima Thule, but maybe a comprimise would be to have the song fade out for a bit before it repeats, thus rbeaking up the repeativeness, as it does suit the situation there, showing the newfound hope in a place that was the epitome of despair.
