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.
SISTER SUNSHINE
Omnia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She leads you through the flowers where our petals
Fall like memories of days that never were
Oh sister sunshine
She stands before you wearing just a sparkle
On the silver ribbons shining in her hair
When all the colours get too loud
That drive away, the cobwebs from your mind
Her smile can lead you far astray
Though you will never lose your way
'cause there's always another day
In the sunshine
Oh sister sunshine
She leads you through the flowers where our petals
Fall like memories of days that never were
Oh sister sunshine
She stands before you wearing just a sparkle
On the silver ribbons shining in her hair
Lalalalalalala...
Calling sister sunshine
sister sunshine
Lalalalalala....
Calling sister sunshine
sister sunshine
And as she sings your fears to sleep
With lullabies of ocean deepness
Cradled on her breast
Her thoughts within you seep
You listen to her fairy tales and lies
You're just a prisoner in her eyes
But is she mad or wise you'll never know
Come shine your light on me(4x)
Oh sister sunshine
She leads you through the flowers where our petals
Fall like memories of days that never were
Oh sister sunshine
She stands before you wearing just a sparkle
On the silver ribbons shining in her hair
Lalalalalalala...
Calling sister sunshine
sister sunshine (3x)
Her smile can lead you far astray
Though you will never lose your way
'cause there's always another day…
In the sunshine… (4x)

I love the way things evolves on the alst half of this album: the way sunshine (this track) is followed by thunder (Taranis), then nighttime comes (Moon) and the wolves are out (Wolf Song), then a happy return back to Cornwall :)

One of my favorites on 'Wolf Love'. It's kinda cool, that there's a bit of 'Jenny in't fogge ' in there and that it continues with 'Taranis Jupiter', like on 'Crone of War'! Light & Flowers
