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.
SING FOR LOVE
Omnia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Enlightenment has opened our eyes
Snow lies sleeping around our cabin of felled trees
Like the wild ones we seek shelter within them
By the light of burning logs
Your notes throw shadow on your keys
While you sit and play and sing
Sing newaling a ring roho…
Your soul and being expressed
Trough the sound of your song
Sing for life
Sing for love
For only music
Can show you the way
For only the music
Can show you the way
The way to go
The way to go
The way to go
The way to go home
The way to go home
The way to go
For only the music
Can show you
The way
To go home…
The first two lines of the song, "Deep in the forest we reside, Enlightenment has opened our eyes," sets the tone and the setting for the rest of the song. It follows a group of people living in a forest, who have gained enlightenment, and their way of life in harmony with nature. The next two lines, "Snow lies sleeping around our cabin of felled trees, Like the wild ones we seek shelter within them," further emphasize their connection with nature, and how they have built their home with materials from the forest.
The chorus, "Sing for life, Sing for love," suggests that music is an essential part of their life, and a form of communication that helps them express their emotions. The line, "For only music can show you the way," implies that music is a key element to finding one's path in life, whether it's personal or spiritual growth. This idea is repeated in the bridge, " The way to go, The way to go home," emphasizing that music is a guiding force in their lives.
The stanza, "By the light of burning logs, Your notes throw shadow on your keys, While you sit and play and sing, So free and so at ease," describes a scene where one of the members of the group is playing music by the fire. The imagery of the flickering light casting shadows on the keys and the sense of ease highlights the magical and transformative power of music.
Overall, the song SING FOR LOVE by Omnia is a celebration of music, nature, and the harmony between the two. It presents music as a guiding force in life, and the natural world as a source of inspiration and belonging.
