But it’s mine”

Eytan and The Embassy were an indie pop band from New York. They played from 2009 - 2014, released a handful of songs, licensed them for T.V and commercials and then their founder Eytan Orlon went off to make big coin from apps for popular band releases. I shit you not. Eytan and The Embassy had fifteen minutes of fame with their gimmicky video for Everything Changes but it's Weekend Warrior (2014) that is the diamond in the rough. A blood-pumping, jogging playlist song with the ultimate feel-good vibe (and a small side of urine extraction). 

“There are days when I love everybody I see,

When I sing to the world and it’s smiling at me”
