Hailing from Boston, Jillian began singing in her family’s home studio at the age of six. She recalls with a laugh, “My father had me record a song about saving the rainforests!” Nevertheless, her love of music was sparked, and she soon committed her life to the field. Developing herself first as a vocalist and performer, Jillian graduated with honors from the prestigious Peabody Conservatory of Music, winning the George Castelle Memorial Award in voice... But a wandering eye led her to the arena of computer music, and she soon began to supplement her classical studies with compositional ones.
With her debut albums Origins and Through Sand and Snow, Jillian responds to the lack of lyric-centric works in contemporary New Age/World music. Allowing her powerful voice to soar through beds of exotic instrumentation, both albums rely upon her instrument and lyrics not only as the definitive lead, but also as an amalgam of other backing textures, enveloping the listener in her warm sound.
Jillian's music is being broadcast to more than 8 million listeners worldwide, spanning over 70 stations including XM and Sirius satellite radio - a list that is rapidly growing. Origins debuted at #8 on the New Age Reporter radio charts for two consecutive months and has been consistently ranking in the top 10 on numerous stations, while Jillian was named “Best Futuristic New Age Singer” on iNewAge.com, a reviewer dubbing her “better than Enya.” The album received the #1 New Age Album spot of the year on NewAgeMusic.nu, above a great many tried and true artists.
Jillian has also amassed a passionate fan base online. In the listener-voted music competition OurStage.com, she triumphed over twenty thousand songs to win the $5,000 Grand Prize, and has garnered the New Age/World Prize thrice over. With other awards including third place in the Indie International Songwriting Contest, Mystic Soundscapes’ Best of 2007 and 2008 Awards, and dozens of online features, Jillian Aversa is steadily becoming both a critical and popular favorite – and redefining what we think of New Age music along the way.

Eos
Jillian Aversa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Anabiōnō para gaia
Eōs luō polos dikha

The lyrics of Jillian Aversa's song Eos are written in a language that is not identical to English. However, it translates to "Eos, I loosen the heavens and earth. Eos, I remember." Here, Eos is the Greek goddess of dawn, who is known for her beauty and represents the new beginning of each day. The song is a nostalgic tribute to the dawn and the miracles it brings in with the start of each day.
The lyrics convey a sense of magical power and a reminder of the cyclical nature of life, as each dawn is a symbol of a new start, a new day, and new opportunities. It also expresses a sense of renewal and rejuvenation, suggesting that every day is a new opportunity to start afresh, to learn and grow.

The ending is one of my favorite song endings ever, just behind the end of Heroes of the Waterfalls' Kingdom, by Rhapsody of Fire. This whole album is just so beautiful and dreamy. }-)
