(1) The Millions were a Lincoln, Nebraska alternative rock band formed in 1989. The band's membership was drawn from two earlier cult acts in Lincoln--guitarist Harry Dingman III and drummer Greg Hill had played in For Against, while vocalist Lori Allison and bassist Marty Amsler were members of New Brass Guns. The Millions became one of very few Lincoln outfits to ever land a major-label deal when they signed to Polygram subsidiary Smash Records for their 1991 debut album "M Is For Millions." The band's 1994 follow-up was released by German indie label Dream Circle, and in 1995 the band ceased its activities.

The Millions Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To the cross of Calvary
Mmm, let it be my prayer, dear Lord, each day
To help me do the best I can
For there is no friend on whom I can depend
Blessed Jesus, hold my hand
Oh, yes, I need Thee every hour
Through the pilgrims land
Protect me by thy saving power
Please, hear my feeble plea
Oh, oh, Lord, please, tell me
I kneel in prayer, I try to meet you there
Blessed Jesus, hold my hand, hold my hand
The Millions’ song “Voices” is a symbol of humanity’s spiritual awareness of a higher power, in particular, of Christianity. The song reflects the singer’s contemplation of his faith journey as they speak of their spiritual struggles, the pain of the journey, and the need to trust in the power that strengthens them. The singer pleads with God to bless them, to hold their hand as they walk through the journey in which they have stepped into, and to strengthen their faith.
The chorus of the song encapsulates the central theme, as the singer recognizes their need for God’s intervention and support through life's pilgrimage as they say, “Blessed Jesus, hold my hand. Oh, yes, I need Thee every hour. Through the pilgrims land, protect me by thy saving power.” The idea of spiritual warfare or pilgrimage resonates with the notion that, in life, the journey may be chaotic and confusing, but with a higher power guiding the way, the journey is much more manageable.
The song's message of a need for an unwavering faith in the face of difficult circumstances resonates strongly with many. It is not just a treat for lovers of religious music but a reminder to all that no matter what we face, we are not alone. It is easy to get lost in the numerous challenges of everyday life, but as the music fades out with the "Blessed Jesus hold my hand," we can take comfort in the knowledge that a higher power can help us through the trials and tribulations of the journey.

The 2011-2015 period were the golden era of EDM. Lots and lots of quality electronic songs week after week.
The era was ignited by the Swedish DJ's like Avicci, Axwell, ingrosso etc.. their songs started to get huge airplays in USA, thus started to take over the mainstream music, competed with pop music and at a point of time even mainstream pop music was losing to edm. That was the standard of these DJ's.
The era was dominated by mostly European producers like Avicci, Calvin Harris, Martin Garrix, Hardwell, Tiesto, Afrojack, Robin Schulz, Alesso, showteck, Nicky Romero and many other.
Avicci and Calvin Harris seemed like the flag bearers of the era with their many smash hits.
Swedish House Mafia dissolved before Axwell and ingrosso started making music as duo, they were also one of the key figures of the era.
Dutch DJ's Hardwell, Afrojack and Tiesto had huge success with their songs getting in to Billboard charts and New faces like Martin Garrix and Alesso were big hit from the very start and went on to become so huge by the end of the era.
Music festivals like Tomorrowland and ultra music festival became the biggest festivals of the decade which helped edm to become a culture worldwide and helped to regain its long lost glory.
House music was the king. Electro, progressive, bigroom, deep and tropical house songs were all over the charts.
New artist kygo from Norway increased the legacy of the era by give great tropical house classics .kygos arrival was during the last year's of the golden age and continued his success past the era
The era also had great number of Drum n bass,Dubstep, hardstyle hits which showed the diversity of golden age.
The golden age came to an end when producers started featuring for mainstream pop artists for dance pop songs which have mostly a future bass or trap drop eg: Martin Garrix, Dimitri Vegas and chainsmokers whose new hits which were mostly future bass and trap which were well recieved .
The shift from the major house sound to the hip-hop trap, future bass kind of sound was evident. There were many good artists in these like chainsmokers but all producers somehow tried different styles which were not as catchy or impactful as their previous hits.
Still, Calvin Harris enjoyed success with club edm sound, kygo was becoming huge but the huge number in dutch and Swedish House songs declined and the industry was inclined towards a different sound
Mumble rap came in to scene and a horrific trap sound ruled the industry for some years . Only a few artists like Alan Walker, kygo and new artists like marshmelo was able to hit some sweet spot.
Marshmello sucsses proved that trap and future bass sounds are now the ruling sound of the industry during late 2010s .
But by then the golden age signature house sound faded away. If you ask a music critics of 2010 that what was the highlight of the decade, you most probably get the answer EDM
Definitely edm was the gamechanger ,an explosion in to the scene which wa predicted by many artists a long time ago, And the result was gold. The era gave great memories to music fans especially electronic music fans to cherish forever.
Hardcore edm fans believe that the era is not at all dead and it's in it's dormant stage and waiting for a huge comeback♥️ hope so😊
