When I saw this prompt, I immediately knew I had to write about this song: Fee Ra Huri by Omnia. I know I had the same band last week, but there was just no other option. This song is an upbeat one and it’s perfect to dance to during live …
Listen to this post: Omnia is a small, somewhat unknown band from the Netherlands. Their genre is hard to describe. Sometimes they make folk music or a remake of a historical song. Their music is always acoustic, and it’s definitely alternative. Festivals Several years ago, I was a fan of …
Okay, I admit this was an easy find, but I honestly did search within my usual metal and rock genres and came up empty. I chose this song, or actually this full soundtrack of the 1994 Disney movie ‘The Lion King.’ I have many memories of both the movie and …
