Actually you guys are hearing more post-edit then any live auto tune. This is a recorded audio where they could go and pitch tune afterwards for the video. Still a great musician though!
Fun fact: this song was inspired by his love of this Canadian book trilogy. It's the airborne series by Kenneth oppel. The lyric " if my heart was a compass, you'd be North" is a direct line from the last book :D I highly suggest people should read it
I read that a while ago and was like "hey, I heard owl city sing this. It's like straight out of his song!" Now I realize that the book came out before the song, so that's not a possibility, but now I wonder if it was the other way around...
I agree but I have noticed after watching a lot of Adam's live performances that he indeed does use auto tune live, even here, I produce music so I have an understanding of this subject and I'm not shitting stuff lol. doesn't make me love him any less, just pointing out.
I love how he moves. The subtle hunch on his back, the way he swings his guitar, the way he puts his hand on his chest, the way he moves and sings with his playful hands. Adam made me realize I shouldnt be scared of myself and my quirks and just break free from what others think. I was 9 when I first loved owl city, still loving him strong at 18 :>
when he goes to sing in a concert he is perfect no mistake it sounds like if it was not in a concert just editing but it is actualy totaly real i love owl city.
He is flawless even when performing live. I'm so happy I got to watch him when he went here in Manila. But I'm so disappointed he didn't sing this! My favorite song of his by far
agree.. :) I was really hoping that he would sing this during the concert... Pero he really pours his heart when he sings kaya maganda.. :) icocover ko to! :)
"If My Heart Was A House" You're the sky that I fell through And I remember the view whenever I'm holding you The sun hung from a string Looking down on the world as it warmed over everything Chills run down my spine as our fingers intwine And your sighs harmonize with mine Unmistakably I can still feel your heart Beat fast when you dance with me We got older and I should have known (Do you feel alive?) That I'd feel colder when I walk alone (Oh, but you'll survive) So I may as well ditch my dismay (Bombs away... Bombs away...) Circle me and the needle moves gracefully Back and forth, if my heart was a compass you'd be North Risk it all cause I'll catch you if you fall Wherever you go, if my heart was a house you'd be home It makes me smile because you said it best I would clearly feel blessed if the sun rose up from the west Flower balm perfume, all my clothes smell like you Cause your favorite shade is navy blue I walk slowly when I'm on my own (Do you feel alive?) Yeah, but frankly I still feel alone (Oh, but you'll survive) So I may as well ditch my dismay (Bombs away... Bombs away...) Circle me and the needle moves gracefully Back and forth, if my heart was a compass you'd be North Risk it all cause I'll catch you if you fall Wherever you go, if my heart was a house you'd be home If my heart was a house, you'd be home Here u go !!!
I saw myself in the front! lol. Waiting 5 hours in line and driving with my bf 2 hours to the show was worth it in the long run I guess. I also made friends with the girl behind me in line in those 5 hours. We've been distant friends for 10 years now
I needed to text my friend but it's a 50/50 whether or not UA-cam fully closes or keeps the video playing in a minimized window so I waited and played the rest of it how good this song is I didn't want to pause it for like 2 seconds
I had heard about Owl City when Fireflies came out, but never really got interested until my friend introduced me to him. I am so grateful that she showed me more of his genius music. He is on of my favorite artists now and I even plan on playing this song at my wedding.
This was our song. We didn't last long but I learned a lot and I still get chills every time I hear it. Adam is soooo talented and blessed. God is really using him I think through this totally beautiful and inspirational music. Peace! :)
I thank Robbie so so much for introducing me to this song! It's beautiful. :') And how does his voice song so beautiful and perfect like he has permanent autotune in a good way!
It's funny because the bonus tracks are always my favorite. How I became the sea and this song are amazing. His alternate version at 3:03 is incredible
Whenever he sings this song or any of his songs, he just sings this song sincerely. Oh, and he's good at making songs hit the heart or just tug at it a bit. When or If I get married, I would love to have this song play.
Adam you rock owlsomely. You are the most talented, kind-hearted, yet under appreciated celebrity I know of. Youre so modest and you rarely see a famous person being modest these days. It's funny because I obsess about you so much when in truth I have about a one in a zillion chance of ever being able to even have conversation with you. :( anyway just know that no matter what youll always be my first real celebrity crush. God bless you.
I'm with you! Adam young is my idol, my hero, and the reason I became who I am today. myself. :D I love who he says thank you SO very much. just love him so much. I wake up to hear his beautiful voice and look at his face on my phone and wish SO badly tht I could meet/keep him forever.

When the voice of a singer live is even better than the recorded version, well ladies and gents we have a really good singer.
It's still on auto tune
@@amiraman2720 still can't deny the fact that he's got an amazing voice
@@amiraman2720 no one needed you say that
@@amiraman2720 lol post malone had his auto tune in his concert and it sounds so terrible. I love post malone's music tho.

That's interesting!

@@wyntrr_end do u know what book it is
Music like this needs to come back.
holy shit he is actually really good live was not expecting that. props..ive always loved adams shit
THIS is what good music sounds like. (autotune not needed)
Y e s

This is music.
Y e s !
This is so good, I can't stop listening it *-* Adam Young is a musical genius and such a humble guy!
You are so right! He’s so underrated...
I love how he moves. The subtle hunch on his back, the way he swings his guitar, the way he puts his hand on his chest, the way he moves and sings with his playful hands. Adam made me realize I shouldnt be scared of myself and my quirks and just break free from what others think. I was 9 when I first loved owl city, still loving him strong at 18 :>
I was around 9 or 10 when I listened to him too! And I'm almost 18 now...
@@parasoraaa Awesome! He really was smth special. And advanced happy birthday to you too! ^^
Wow, him and his music just make me so happy. ❤️

The "bombs away" always give me chills.
How does he sing this good! Amazing!
Adam Is perfection
I was having some depression the last weekend and started listening owl city, the depression instantly got away with the first song. THANK YOU ADAM!
when he goes to sing in a concert he is perfect no mistake it sounds like if it was not in a concert just editing but it is actualy totaly real i love owl city.
I WANT TO GO TO ONE OF THEIR CONCERTS OAO

He is flawless even when performing live. I'm so happy I got to watch him when he went here in Manila. But I'm so disappointed he didn't sing this! My favorite song of his by far

@Chester I want to see your cover plss sned it to me (im a filipino) para maging trending uli mga kanta niya plsss
i watch it for the third time and still surprised how smooth his voice is!
this is my favourite song of owl city and i will probably cry if i can listen to this song live
Owl City is Legend
the keyboardist is always smiling, like literally all the time. that cute c:
the most magical song of owl city
This is like massage for my brain, so good.
Still listening to this 2020 ❤
Adam's music is always a chill i love it
Awesome song idk why anyone would dislike this. Gives me chills listening to it
sleeping while listening to this song and 3:21 waked me up out of my sleep. Very good song by Owl City love it.
why do i always cry with this song:/
i like this version rather than the studio version omgggg my heart 💓💓💓
Number one singer of all the world
This song is gorgeous and he's great live
"If My Heart Was A House"
You're the sky that I fell through
And I remember the view whenever I'm holding you
The sun hung from a string
Looking down on the world as it warmed over everything
Chills run down my spine as our fingers intwine
And your sighs harmonize with mine
Unmistakably I can still feel your heart
Beat fast when you dance with me
We got older and I should have known
(Do you feel alive?)
That I'd feel colder when I walk alone
(Oh, but you'll survive)
So I may as well ditch my dismay
(Bombs away... Bombs away...)
Circle me and the needle moves gracefully
Back and forth, if my heart was a compass you'd be North
Risk it all cause I'll catch you if you fall
Wherever you go, if my heart was a house you'd be home
It makes me smile because you said it best
I would clearly feel blessed if the sun rose up from the west
Flower balm perfume, all my clothes smell like you
Cause your favorite shade is navy blue
I walk slowly when I'm on my own
(Do you feel alive?)
Yeah, but frankly I still feel alone
(Oh, but you'll survive)
So I may as well ditch my dismay
(Bombs away... Bombs away...)
Circle me and the needle moves gracefully
Back and forth, if my heart was a compass you'd be North
Risk it all cause I'll catch you if you fall
Wherever you go, if my heart was a house you'd be home
If my heart was a house, you'd be home
Here u go !!!
I just love his voice ❤
What a gift it is to listen to this music.
It's kinda weird watching this and seeing that the crowd is almost entirely girls but I'm a guy and I love his music
Jonah Taylor same here...😂😂
it seems that 30% of the crowds are guys
Right with you, i have almost all of his songs including sky sailing
's ok I'm a guy too
That's exactly what I was thinking!
again, his voice is so perfect!
I saw myself in the front! lol. Waiting 5 hours in line and driving with my bf 2 hours to the show was worth it in the long run I guess. I also made friends with the girl behind me in line in those 5 hours. We've been distant friends for 10 years now
His voice is so beautiful and pure, I wish I could sing like that.
I would love to be his pianist !!! It will make me so proud and the fact that you are a step closer to him is .... GREAT !!!!!
This concert looks so chill
2018 baby!
This is one of my favorite songs. A friend of mine introduced this to me. The first time I heard it, I suddenly fell in love with this song.
HOW CAN I MISS THIS BEAUTIFUL SONG IN MY ENTIRE LIFE? just found out this song and love this instantly :(
his voice is what i want to fall asleep to for the rest of my life
I needed to text my friend but it's a 50/50 whether or not UA-cam fully closes or keeps the video playing in a minimized window so I waited and played the rest of it how good this song is I didn't want to pause it for like 2 seconds
i always feel like i'm flyin to my paradise whenever i hear owl city
I'm actually crying while watching this. Adam is so fucking talented and amazing. I can't WAIT to see him in September.
Adam is amazing!!!! His songs are really beautiful! You deserve every happiness!!!!
I had heard about Owl City when Fireflies came out, but never really got interested until my friend introduced me to him. I am so grateful that she showed me more of his genius music. He is on of my favorite artists now and I even plan on playing this song at my wedding.
my absolute favorite of every live performance they have ever done, amazing!
Listen to Owl a City while playing any Zelda game and you're in for a feel-trip.
Esp Twilight Princess or Majoras Mask.
I seriously do that all the time
nostalgia

I didn't think it was possible for me to love Adam Young and Owl City any more. Then I heard this!!!!
This was our song. We didn't last long but I learned a lot and I still get chills every time I hear it. Adam is soooo talented and blessed. God is really using him I think through this totally beautiful and inspirational music. Peace! :)
I'm Listening This Beautiful Sung Since 2012 Til Now 2018 , OMG This Sung Was Memorable ❤
