2. Omar Akram is the son of a United Nations diplomat, Omar Akram spent many of his early years traveling the world, soaking up the musical traditions of such exotic locales as Afghanistan, Cuba, France, and the Czech Republic.
By the age of 14, he was considered a piano prodigy. In his late teens, he discovered the boundary-pushing sounds of Jean Michel Jarre (France), Kitaro (Japan), and Vangelis (Greece), and began to absorb their independent musical influences. At the same time, Omar Akram remained intrigued by such classical composers as Bach and Mozart, and used much of their thematic coherence, comprehensible structure, and clear rhythmic control to craft his own original compositions.

Ordinary Day
Omar Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'd just like to say my love has grown.

I've got two babies of my own.

Gives me purpose and it teaches the way but

How can I be useful to show the way to the light.

We gonna make some fun and play.

I want to hear them say.

It's just another ordinary day.

Nothing gives me more pleasure than to see their faces when I'm down.

They lift me up above the ground.

All that they have done and I can be by their side.

We're gonna be such a good looking family and I want to hear them say, daddy,

It's just another ordinary day.

Giving you my life, all the night. Hold so tight.

Read the soul signs. You gotta know you control all our lives.

I know I'm not far from you.

Make time for the ones you love. (repeat)

The MAN and the best album he has done so far. A real slow burner of an album, that gets better with time. Three months down the road from when i first bought it, still floors me with the quality cuts !!!
