Welcome to Gaia! ::

most people i know don't like owl city because their songs don't make sense, it's on the verge of putting them to sleep behind the wheel, and they just don't like the general flavor of it. comments i've heard are 'they try too hard to sound meaningful' 'the singer needs to get some cajones' and 'see what drugs and sleep deprivation does to you?'
me honestly? i could care less either way. i don't have any intention of buying their album, but i'll live through it. i'm having fun rubbing it in to somebody's face. that fun'll be gone when they stop playing 'fireflies' on the radio

I like Owl City.

Because their music is amazing.

Ironically an owl city song just played in my supermegaultraamazing! music playlist.

I like owl city! Young has created some nice art.


BTW! For those of you who don't know, there is only one official member of owl city; Adam Young. Some songs feature other singers, such as Breanne Düren and Matt Thiessen as backup.

When performing live, owl city consists of

Breanne Duren, backup,
Matthew Decker on drums,
Laura Musten on violin,
Hannah Schroeder on cello

and of course, Adam Young

I like them. I dislike a lot of the people, though, who like him because of Fireflies and that's it.

Fireflies ISN'T random! (music video kind of is, but ... not the point) Most people don't get it D< Fireflies=thoughts/memories.
Fireflies just sounded better, beat and word wise.

Hence...:

You Would Not Believe Your Eyes
If Ten Million Fireflies
Light Up The World As I Fell Asleep
Cause They Fill The Open Air
And Leave Teardrops Everywhere
You'd Think me Rude
But I Wouuld Just Stand And stare
I'd Like To make Myself Believe That Planet earth Turns Slowly
It's Hard To Say That I'd Rather Stay Awake When I'm Asleep
Cause Everything Is Never As It Seems

Cause I'd Get A Thousand Hugs
From Ten Thousand Lightning Bugs
As They Tried To Teach Me How To Dance
A Foxtrot Above My head
A Sockhop Beneath My Bed
A Disco Ball Is Just hanging By A thread
I'd Like To make Myself Believe That Planet earth Turns Slowly
It's Hard To Say That I'd Rather Stay Awake When I'm Asleep
Cause Everything Is Never As It Seems
When I Fall Asleep
Leave My Door Open Just A crack

Turns into...
You Would Not Believe Your Eyes
If Ten Million Thoughts
Lit Up The World As I Fell Asleep
Cause They Fill The Open Air
And Leave Teardrops Everywhere
You'd Think me Rude
But I Would Just Stand And stare
I'd Like To make Myself Believe That Planet earth Turns Slowly
It's Hard To Say That I'd Rather Stay Awake When I'm Asleep
Cause Everything Is Never As It Seems

Cause I'd Get A Thousand Hugs
From Ten Thousand Thoughts/Memories
As They Tried To Teach Me How To Dance
A Foxtrot Above My head
A Sockhop Beneath My Bed
A Disco Ball Is Just hanging By A thread
I'd Like To make Myself Believe That Planet earth Turns Slowly
It's Hard To Say That I'd Rather Stay Awake When I'm Asleep
Cause Everything Is Never As It Seems
When I Fall Asleep
Leave My Door Open Just A crack

Unique and happy, always make me smile when I'm down (:
I love Strawberry Avalanche.

Owl City is awesome. I love their songs even if I don't understand some of it... I even have their album 'Ocean Eyes'... Adam Young rocks. I never get tired of hearing the songs over and over again...
