The HU is a band from Mongolia that blends heavy metal and traditional Mongolian throat singing. The band's name The HU, is the Mongolian root word for human being. They call their style 'Hunnu Rock' inspired by the Hunnu, an ancient Mongolian empire, known as The Huns in western culture. Some of the band's lyrics include old Mongolian war cries and poetry.
Leaving It All Behind - James Hawken
Do you ever feel like you've had enough? You need to make changes in your life? I felt like this and as usual, sat at the piano. I used the instrument to 'reset' my frame of mind, as a bridge from one life experience to another. The result is an expressive, dynamic piece full of changes of pace and touch. The overall effect instilling an air of calm and closing of a chapter. It's mood is also positive and conveys a feeling of optimism for the future.
