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.
Jabberwocky
Omnia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought—
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.
And as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! and through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
"And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
He chortled in his joy.
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
The lyrics of Omnia's song "Jabberwocky" are actually adapted from Lewis Carroll's famous nonsense poem of the same name. The poem describes a fantastical creature called the Jabberwock, which is feared by everyone who lives in the "tulgey wood." The singer of the poem, a young man, is warned about the Jabberwock by his father, but is undeterred and sets off to slay the beast. He succeeds in killing the Jabberwock with his "vorpal sword," and returns home triumphant. The poem ends with the singer describing the scene once again, with the slithy toves and mome raths still gyre-ing and gimble-ing in the wabe.
Omnia's version of the poem is a musical adaptation, with new melodies and instrumentation bringing the words to life. The haunting, atmospheric music perfectly captures the sense of mystery and danger that pervades the poem. The use of traditional instruments like the hurdy-gurdy and the bodhran give the melody a distinctly medieval feel, which fits with the fantastical, otherworldly theme of the poem.
Overall, the lyrics of "Jabberwocky" are a celebration of the power of storytelling to transport us to other worlds and inspire us to feats of bravery and daring. They remind us that even when faced with seemingly insurmountable obstacles, we can find the courage within ourselves to rise to the challenge and emerge victorious.

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
It was evening, and the slimy creatures were moving and dancing in the grass.
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
They were twisting and turning in the open space.
All mimsy were the borogoves,
All the strange creatures seemed sad and unhappy.
And the mome raths outgrabe.
And the big, ugly creatures made loud noise and shouting.
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
"Be careful of the Jabberwock, my dear child!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Its mouth is dangerous, as are its sharp claws!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
You must also watch out for the Jubjub bird and avoid it.
The frumious Bandersnatch!"
The ferocious Bandersnatch must also be avoided, my son!
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
He picked up his sharp and sturdy blade,
Long time the manxome foe he sought—
He searched for his enemy the Jabberwock for a long time,
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
He paused to rest by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.
Deep in thought, he paused for a while.
And as in uffish thought he stood,
As he stood there lost in thought,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
The Jabberwock appeared with its flaming eyes,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
Whiffling and snorting, it moved through the dense forest,
And burbled as it came!
Bubbling and gurgling, it advanced!
One, two! One, two! and through and through
One, two! One, two! With one swift blow,
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
The vorpal sword sharply cut through its neck!
He left it dead, and with its head
He killed it, and took its head,
He went galumphing back.
He ran back, happy, and carefree!
"And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
"Did you really kill the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
Come here, my happy and smiling child!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
What a wonderful day! Hooray! Hooray!"

@Salzblut
This poem is written Lewis Carrol, the creator of Alice in Wonderland, and it was first published in 1872. This is a wonderful recreation from Omnia! I´ve seen them live playing this song.
