2. Omnia is an electronic dance music producer, his track Stick in monday was featured in the Trance Mix Mission Podcast.
Man behind it all, is Evgeny Smirnov. Born in 1987, he would grow up with a diverse taste in music, loving and exploring the beauty of different genres. In the 90’s, he turned his passion for EDM into a hobby and started toying around with producing programs. After discovering trance music, Evgeny knew which path to follow and started developing his sound into this direction.
At the end of 2006, when Evgeny was only 20 years old, he concentrated on creating his own, quality tracks and saw big names like Armin van Buuren, Markus Schulz and Above & Beyond play his tracks and remixes on the radio and during gigs. Remixes on ‘Ørjan Nilsen – La Guitarra’ and ‘Armin van Buuren feat. Jacqueline Govaert – Never Say Never’ put Omnia’s name on the map.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You′re insane – That's why I wrote this song for you
You're in pain – Don′t you know this song is about you
You′re insane – But you know this song is about you
Don't you, don′t you, don't you know this song is about you
Don′t you, don't you, don′t you know this song is about you
Free bird fly
Free bird fly
'Cause living is more than simply hoping
Free bird fly
There's no excuse you′ve got to try now
Free bird fly
I know you can do it
So let me see you smile now
Though they beat you down, you get up
Though they beat you down, you get up again
Free bird fly
Take your broken wings and learn to fly
Free bird fly
Take this broken world and make it right
Take your broken wings and fly
Take this broken world and make it right
Take these broken wings and fly
Take this darkest night and make it bright
Free bird fly
