Owl City

♫Even though, I'll never know what's up ahead
I'm never lettin' go, I'm never lettin' go♫
-Alligator sky-
 
I really like Owl City.  The first I ever heard of Adam Young's awesome singing was in 'Fireflies' and it was instant love. I really liked the weirdness of his music, and lyrics. It made sense...yet..it didn't.
 
  But, as I've listened to more of his music, I like how clean it is. Did you know Adam Young is a christian?I really appreciate how his songs are memorable, funny, funky, and completely clean.  I don't have to worry when my 13 year old brother listens to their songs on Playlist.com.

♫I brush my teeth and look in the mirror
And laugh out loud as I'm beaming from ear to ear
I'd rather pick flowers instead of fights
And rather than flaunt my style
I'd flash you a smile of clean pearly whites♫
-Dental care-

And the names! How do you get  'Vanilla Twilight', 'Owl City', 'Strawberry Avalanche' and decided to use them?

♫But drenched in vanilla twilight
I'll sit on the front porch all night
Waist-deep in thought because
When I think of you I don't feel so alone♫
-Vanilla Twilight-

Oh, his lyrics are so beautiful!!

His songs are so upbeat, how can you be sad and listen to them?


And the mental images he pours into his songs!! 


Owl City is Magical.

Owl City is Awesome.

Owl City is one of a Kind.
 
♫Home will always be here on sea, out of sight
Where I disappear and hide
I think dreamy things as I'm waving goodbye
So I'll spread out my wings and fly♫

  1. I LOVE OWL CITY. I have some of my best memories associated with Owl City. Have you listened to 'Tip of the Iceberg' yet?

  3. I agree!! Although I think some of his songs are kind of sad/bittersweet. I love Dear Vienna, Alligator Sky, How I Became the Sea, and several songs from his Sky Sailing CD. The more I analyze the lyrics, the more sense they make, and really, they're pure poetry. :)

  5. YES. Fireflies was love at first sight for me too! There is not a single Owl City song that I don't LOVE! Though I haven't heard all of them yet.
