I used to love Owl City, but then for a while I couldn't listen to his music because it sounded too happy for me. But now I feel like I can start enjoying his songs again. And the thought of that honestly kinda makes me wanna cry.
Now that Owl City has been inactive for years now, what I can only do is to get back on his precious musics. These are like gems that remains timelessly shimmering and I am going to be back for all of the years I will be living. Thats how his music goes for me.
NEW MUSIC!!! check out his instagram. I feel the same way too. I will be listening to his old music for all the years I will be living, because his music is so important to me since I was a child
It's sad this song isn't available on iTunes or Spotify. I haven't even seen it on any of his albums. I've only been able to find it on UA-cam. It's a shame because this is my favorite by him. ❤️❤️
Now and for the rest of my short eternity here on earth. He will never really know what his music means to us all, how much it's a part of all of our lives. That's why we love the guy, he's humble and just wants to do his best. An amazing role model.
This made me cry because I used to listen to this song all the time when I was younger and gives me such a nostalgic feeling. Gah I miss Owl City so much
Inky likes to draw ... But really why exactly do you "miss" Owl City. It's not like it's been split apart (kinda difficult to do without a sharp object), or not making music anymore.
+brayden simard I mean I miss the old style of music. idk it just doesn't have the same feeling to it anymore. but regardless, I am and forever will be an Owl City fan.
i finally get it... what he meant by "that makes every love lost just a holiday every night"... going through things in life makes you understand so many more sad song lyrics...
@@jennifersaladin2689 When you're going through heart break... The nights alone are the worst part of it... something just changes when it gets dark and you become so much more sad about lost love...
Times have been rough the last few months, but I've found myself revisiting these old songs recently, and they've been doing a lot to lift my spirits back up :) Love Owl City, and love Adam Young! ♥
+Neon Season This song is actually really cute, because a fan requested (in a handwritten letter) for him to write a song about tigers and this is what that letter inspired. Although the song itself is sort of bittersweet.
I've been going through some stuff when a friend brought my attention to Owl City in around 2009 or 2010 and since then I loved and hated Owl City. The music is great, but even after so many years just a single chord can destroy me. Adam Young always understood how to transport emotions and tie them to ones soul. Tonight I made the mistake to listen to his music again and yeah, I am devastated!^^'
Take me back to the first time I heard this on tumblr; i was in high school then, and now I’m 25…. I need this song on Spotify (this one and beautiful mystery)
lovley ong we ae lucky to have a Christian who sings lovley songs that come from the heart, he is awesome, im not sayin there isn't any other Christian singers out there, im just saying he is someone who you can trust.....in singing and in love :3
I remember when I first heard this song on this youtube channel back in 2012 in an internet shop near my dorm. ugh so nostalgic. I might get teary eyed if I think too much about it. haha such a happy and sunny era.
Whenever I get writer's block, I listen to one or two Owl City song and it inspires my childish imagination and creativity and I remember how powerful words are and how when they fit right, they capture something that delivers elation. And that's what I love about language and about Adam's music. Owl City is my go to inspiration when I'm in a slump, angry, hurt, sad, lonely, or just in a good mood and wanting to hear awesome music
This is one of my favorite songs now. Not sure why but it almost seems applicable to my life. I have been trying to figure that one out. Amazing the amount of metaphor in one's own life but one thing is for sure: God is good!
I believe this is a song about a breakup. Well I've been huddled up alone By the fire even though I'm not exactly feeling cold He's trying to regain a sense of normalcy and doesn't really know what to do with himself. I've been bundled up for days Too confused to be amazed At all the icy water in my veins He hasn't done much since the breakup Why do I feel so alone? He's single and feels like a part of him is missing. Yeah I've been moving in and out Of this old split level house But I'd just as soon burn the whole place down He feels lonely in his house all by himself. Things around there remind him of his ex Cause I quit working lumberyards To build a mansion out of cards But I feel so thin behind these paper walls He quit something steady to do something risky (music business). He's built himself up (lives in a big house and is famous) but he still feels empty. 'Cause the angriest bark is always worse than the bite Maybe when the breakup occurred, they had a fight, and insults were exchanged. Things said in their anger hurt even more than the breakup and her leaving. Like the ache in my chest my heart didn't invite He didn't realize it would hurt like this 'Cause if the prettiest romance isn't perfectly right Then every love lost is a holiday every night If all relationships have flaws, then why bother? He might as well be better off single Well I've been painting through the night In the basement out of sight Brushing paper tigers black and white He's been trying to do things to occupy his time. He tries to simplify the complex issues. Paper tigers are a metaphor for a tough exterior but weaker interior. These represent complex issues. Brushing them black and white represents trying to simplify his problems. 'Cause come tomorrow afternoon I'll fill a helium balloon And set them free into the baby blue sky He'll let go of his problems So they won't have to be alone Taking the paper tigers as literal in this line, he doesn't want anything else to feel his loneliness. In a way, he is saying he wishes he were like the paper tigers and not alone But when I close these heavy lids after dark Each sweet dream is a target And all my shots are so consistently wide of the mark He is unable to sleep because of nightmares. These are most likely caused by his breakup. This could also represent that he believes he makes bad decisions in picking partners, as he's always wide of the mark. The dream could represent a dream relationship. But how my heartache hit the trail When a paper tiger tail Fluttered down, I guess I'll never know A part of his past problems came back to haunt him, but they now seemed insignificant to him. He felt better, because he saw his problems in a different light. He felt that they could be tackled and that his heartache and loneliness were temporary. This could also be that he saw a reminder of something positive in his sadness (painting paper tigers) which made him feel better. This is all my interpretation. Who knows, he could've had something totally different in mind Taken from lyric interpretation
Consider that it is quite good and accurate, much of your interpretation I also had, I would just have to wait for adam to clarify the lyrics (if that happens one day :'c)
I fell into Owl City off a Hot Air Balloon and rode a Strawberry Avalanche through a cool, Peppermint Winter. I arrived at a place where Fuzzy Blue Lights glowed on the Designer Skyline. There, I met a girl with Rainbow Veins that smiled like a Deer In The Headlights. We ran to the Tip Of An Iceberg and watched 10 million Fireflies flutter in the Vannila Twilight. As she was leaving, i told her I'll Meet You There. Then I watched as the rockets carried her away into an Alligator Sky - if you like owl city this will make sence
Every time I listen to this song, after it ends I have a strong urge to verbally say "I freaking love that song". IMHO, Some of Adam's best music is his unreleased stuff. He's my role model.
2017 until Forever Owl City Always in my heart. when i was so young i remember my Best friend recommended me to hear the song Owl City.. and his Right This song so good, and everyday i listening all album and single Owl city.. Very good thing Memory 😍
Listening to it in 2018. This song amazes me every time i listen to it. I have so many memories to Paper Tigers. Feelings, Persons, Situations. Adam draws pictures in my mind with his songs. And i add to this picture my memories. Thank you so much.
Still listening to this song after a decade.. Lot of things had happened but still, I'm happy I had to endure those tough times. I hope you guys are also doing well in your life..
I was singing this song the other day and I got to the part where it says, "Why do I feel so alone?" Then my sister looks at me and says, "Because you are."
It's been awhile since I've heard this song. In honesty, I forgot how much I love it. I remember listening to this song when I was a bit younger, and for whatever reason it seemed so beautiful to me that made me want to cry. I stumbled upon this song once again by mistake, and am happy to say it still gives me the same feeling.
"I've been bundled up alone by the fire even though I'm not exactly feelin' cold." Come on Adam, let it go, let it gooo, *THE COLD NEVER BOTHERED YOU ANYWAYYYY*
Oh, so beautiful. *contented sigh of happiness* I adore the beautiful titles of the songs. "Paper Tigers". I mean, what do you think when you read that? Could be anything. But that's what I love about Owl City. Not the face, not the sound, but the WORDS. The words paint a permanent melody of love and happiness and sadnness and contentness in my soul that lingers forever. The song titles are beautiful, and the words in the song don't have to focus all on the title, they just tell their own story.
+mariokartexpert1 yeah i agree :) I really want "Beautiful Mystery" & this song to be on tms. too late for that. I ', sad because the album cover was really awesome!!!
Jesus said this: "These things have I spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." John 16:33 (KJV). That is why we trust in Jesus Christ alone for our salvation. He is the giver of peace. We have peace when we know that we are protected. Jesus is our protector.
I can't even explain how much I love this song. I literally can't stop pressing the replay button. It reminds me of what owl city was originally like, and I'm completely addicted. I wish he made a million songs like this one!
Adam's music is one of the very few reasons I get up in the morning it's number one and I feel you Aleksander Drake he also reminds me that there will always be hope
Girl, I LOVE his music, too and I'm black. Adam is so talented and just because he's white doesn't mean black people can't get into his music, too. I love Owl City and I am not ashamed to admit it.
This song doesn't sound like anything we've ever heard in his previous albums yet it's still Owl City-ish and it actually sounds like Adam did this alone and had fun making this. This is the change in direction that I want Adam to put in all the MST songs, not too old and not too mainstream at the same time! Good job, Adam.
No. Never. Adam Young will always be Owl City. All his songs are so beautiful and his lyrics are written from the heart. I must say that All Things Bright And Beautiful was my favorite Owl City album. Adam Young is a strong christian and so am i.
I don't know whether to be angry or happy that there's 34 dislikes.....like, do I beat up the people who hit that button, or just be happy that there's not more?
***** oh reilly? Yes I PURPOSELY spelt really as reilly because I wanted to. Because muslims don't hurt people for not believing the same thing, or for that matter "athiests" too. It's human nature to dislike people who have different veiwpoints, so don't blame religion, and most definitely don't blame christianity.
***** Even though I'm Christian myself, I kind of agree. Way too many Christians go out there and hurt people, which is totally against what they believe in. It doesn't make sense, so I think those kinds of people are just plain dumb.
She also said Muslim, Aly, maybe you're only seeing or reading what you want to. But, hey, I'm Atheist and I love everyone, I'm taking psychology and I've realized that people DO hurt other people with different viewpoints. Either way, it's not right, but you can't really change it. It'll always be with us. Let's love while we can, who knows, because maybe tomorrow it could be all gone.
guys, you've gotta appreciate that even when he was making songs like good time he made this song around that time too, as if he suspected that we wouldn't all like his newer stuff so made this song just for us :3
where do i get this song (legally) ? it isn't on itunes and don't want to download it off some website that doesn't actually have any right to offer it up for download
i don't think you can anymore. i believe he pulled this and beautiful mystery off of his blog. while they were still up i believe you could download them. maybe a sign that he may re-release them on a ep?
You do realize most websites downloads are just songs people bought then converted right it's not illegal or morally wrong unless they make a profit off of it

This is true
You're absolutely gorgeous Hayleyian. Stay beautiful! :D
It's a kind of poetry.
I will never stop loving this song! Wish it was released officially :(
Owl city continues to just be him, it's authentic and genuine. This creator is so under appreciated.
Agree
This era of Owl City was his best. A shame it didn't last.
I used to love Owl City, but then for a while I couldn't listen to his music because it sounded too happy for me. But now I feel like I can start enjoying his songs again. And the thought of that honestly kinda makes me wanna cry.
hope you still enjoy his songs
Listen to his "Beautiful Times" and tell me what you think
This is so sweet. I had a similar experience. Welcome back 💖
@@hishot9442 Ultra Violet was one of my favourite albums tbh
That's good to hear :) I know how you feel. Being sad/depressed is no fun :(
Now that Owl City has been inactive for years now, what I can only do is to get back on his precious musics. These are like gems that remains timelessly shimmering and I am going to be back for all of the years I will be living. Thats how his music goes for me.
NEW MUSIC!!! check out his instagram. I feel the same way too. I will be listening to his old music for all the years I will be living, because his music is so important to me since I was a child
@@trevor246
Check his new out Merger
Forever and Always
less than 2 day new album
@@user-qb9pf5jo6l
Bro is the new album released or yet to
@@epictropicmadness804 New music on the 6th January and then the 23rd!
Owl City makes so many good songs that 80% of them have to go unnoticed, while the other 20% were brought up to the surface
To the mainstream people it's more like 1%. Especially if you count the other projects. It's so sad.
Fireflies is one of his worst songs. Yet it got HUGE on the radio. The masses, man, the masses.
King Speech EXACTLY ITS RIDICULOUS
idk if you are hating of not but fireflies is a good song it suppose to give you that beautiful happy dream vibe
@@Diamond-zc9jw Not hating at all, just saying they have a bunch of amazing songs that nobody even knows about.
I can't imagine songwriting ever gets better than this....Adam Young is a uniquely gifted & inspirational talent ....
"Each sweet dream is a target, and my shots are so consistently wide of the mark."
No idea why, but I LOVE this line, XD
It's sad this song isn't available on iTunes or Spotify. I haven't even seen it on any of his albums. I've only been able to find it on UA-cam. It's a shame because this is my favorite by him. ❤️❤️
Same here! I looked around for it, and its not even on his channel. I wonder why, and ty to the person who made this one.
It's on Soundcloud. Check it out
It's technically a "demo", originally released on his blog.
Cloverleaf I know right!
I actually downloaded this song using VidMate app, it's easy to download and fast.
Another underrated song adam wrote...
+Beam Me Up Scotty agree
+Beam Me Up Scotty so much truth
Fuck u hater
so, what do u know
He's saying underrated, not overrated. He's actually appreciating and not a hater.
If Floppy Fish can be turned into a single ten years later, then darn it so can this!
I mean this is a fully fledged three minute song…
2016, still in love with Owl City. Edit: 2020, still coming back to this gem. :,)
+Ryan Bassett Lol I agree
Same with me, bro
Now and for the rest of my short eternity here on earth. He will never really know what his music means to us all, how much it's a part of all of our lives. That's why we love the guy, he's humble and just wants to do his best. An amazing role model.
bruh owl citys the best evur. Mah freind hated him. So now I hate my freind. :P
never hate anything just like owl city
There's honestly not a single song of his that I don't like :) I wish more people listened to more of his work than Fireflies or Good Time
I love House Wren, Cinematic, and Back Home.
I feel the same, I'm trying to get my friend to listen to more of his stuff but he just listens to fireflies
@@thebeatlesrockbanddreamsca4399 my friends only like, fireflies,my everything,shine your way,gold,vAnilla twillight,to the sky,your r not alone
There are some I don't like, (a.k.a his rap songs)
Two of his worst songs 😂
I don't like it when people refer to Owl City as "them", because Owl City IS Adam Young. He tours with others for his concerts but HE IS Owl City.
***** 'Owl City' is actually considered a music project, not a band.
Then why does he say "we are Owl City, thank you, so n so city!" during live shows?
@@bookahlearns3067 To give credit to the musicians helping him on stage I assume.
Thats not giving credit to his crew but he is a big part of the band
@@bookahlearns3067 Maybe he's including the audience as a part of "Owl City"
"The ache in my chest that my heart didn't invite" so sad but true and beautiful.
This made me cry because I used to listen to this song all the time when I was younger and gives me such a nostalgic feeling.
Gah I miss Owl City so much
Miss? What are you throwing at him?
xD best reply ever
Inky likes to draw ...
But really why exactly do you "miss" Owl City. It's not like it's been split apart (kinda difficult to do without a sharp object), or not making music anymore.
+brayden simard I mean I miss the old style of music. idk it just doesn't have the same feeling to it anymore. but regardless, I am and forever will be an Owl City fan.

This is another masterpiece!

how can people not know about this beautiful song? ugh! 😍
+Mycah Luvelle Daray Adam is amazing,people should listen to him more...I feel like he's not getting all the attention that he deserves
I totally agree with you. I feel like Adam isn't getting the recognition he deserves for his amazing and beautiful pieces, such as this one
Well, it’s not in his albums or his channel. SO PPL SHOULD DEFO KNOW THIS SONG
*when music starts* "yup, this is gonna be a nice song to dance to!"
*he starts singing* "MOM! GRAB THE TISSUES!!!!!!"
2020 and still OWL CITY is the BEST!
So mad it's not on an album yet! This is old OC, and I would have thought that Adam would have put it on like, maybe Ocean Eyes or Sky Sailing!!
This isn't exactly "Old OC', and there isn't a new OC. He just changed his style a little bit, I enjoy the "new" and "old" Adam.
One of my favorite Owl City songs!
Ikr
They're all my favorites
I've been going through some stuff when a friend brought my attention to Owl City in around 2009 or 2010 and since then I loved and hated Owl City. The music is great, but even after so many years just a single chord can destroy me. Adam Young always understood how to transport emotions and tie them to ones soul. Tonight I made the mistake to listen to his music again and yeah, I am devastated!^^'
Out of all Owl City songs, (or all songs I've heard actually) this is the most relatable song. Every lyric just hits me in all the right spots, damn.
Take me back to the first time I heard this on tumblr; i was in high school then, and now I’m 25….
I need this song on Spotify (this one and beautiful mystery)
For those of you looking for this song on an album, I'm pretty sure it was only released as a demo.
i love the "the angriest bark is always worse than the bite, like the ache in my chest that my heart didnt invite," part the most
I'm an Owl Citizen ;)
Me too! He calls us fans, 'Hoot Owls'! ^_^
lovley ong we ae lucky to have a Christian who sings lovley songs that come from the heart, he is awesome, im not sayin there isn't any other Christian singers out there, im just saying he is someone who you can trust.....in singing and in love :3
I've never ever heard songwriting as breathtaking beautiful
I remember when I first heard this song on this youtube channel back in 2012 in an internet shop near my dorm. ugh so nostalgic. I might get teary eyed if I think too much about it. haha such a happy and sunny era.

This song is yet another masterpiece that Adam has written
I wish all his tracks were on Spotify. This and How I Became The Sea aren't for some reason, and I only recently discovered these through UA-cam.
I'm pretty sure how I became the sea is on all things bright and beautiful, at least it is on Apple music
@@JacksonC62 it still isn't on spotify sadly, i just had to install the song as an mp3 to listen to it during my walk :/
This man changed my life.
His musics help me get through a lot of difficult time. I hope he will never quit music
God I haven’t heard this song in about a year or so. I love this song so much! So much joy in such a short amount of time
This is one of my favorite songs now. Not sure why but it almost seems applicable to my life. I have been trying to figure that one out. Amazing the amount of metaphor in one's own life but one thing is for sure: God is good!
This song is seriously underrated, it’s one of his best ones ❤️ you can hear the playful yet somber tone and fun word play
I believe this is a song about a breakup.
Well I've been huddled up alone
By the fire even though
I'm not exactly feeling cold
He's trying to regain a sense of normalcy and doesn't really know what to do with himself.
I've been bundled up for days
Too confused to be amazed
At all the icy water in my veins
He hasn't done much since the breakup
Why do I feel so alone?
He's single and feels like a part of him is missing.
Yeah I've been moving in and out
Of this old split level house
But I'd just as soon burn the whole place down
He feels lonely in his house all by himself. Things around there remind him of his ex
Cause I quit working lumberyards
To build a mansion out of cards
But I feel so thin behind these paper walls
He quit something steady to do something risky (music business). He's built himself up (lives in a big house and is famous) but he still feels empty.
'Cause the angriest bark is always worse than the bite
Maybe when the breakup occurred, they had a fight, and insults were exchanged. Things said in their anger hurt even more than the breakup and her leaving.
Like the ache in my chest my heart didn't invite
He didn't realize it would hurt like this
'Cause if the prettiest romance isn't perfectly right
Then every love lost is a holiday every night
If all relationships have flaws, then why bother? He might as well be better off single
Well I've been painting through the night
In the basement out of sight
Brushing paper tigers black and white
He's been trying to do things to occupy his time. He tries to simplify the complex issues. Paper tigers are a metaphor for a tough exterior but weaker interior. These represent complex issues. Brushing them black and white represents trying to simplify his problems.
'Cause come tomorrow afternoon
I'll fill a helium balloon
And set them free into the baby blue sky
He'll let go of his problems
So they won't have to be alone
Taking the paper tigers as literal in this line, he doesn't want anything else to feel his loneliness. In a way, he is saying he wishes he were like the paper tigers and not alone
But when I close these heavy lids after dark
Each sweet dream is a target
And all my shots are so consistently wide of the mark
He is unable to sleep because of nightmares. These are most likely caused by his breakup. This could also represent that he believes he makes bad decisions in picking partners, as he's always wide of the mark. The dream could represent a dream relationship.
But how my heartache hit the trail
When a paper tiger tail
Fluttered down, I guess I'll never know
A part of his past problems came back to haunt him, but they now seemed insignificant to him. He felt better, because he saw his problems in a different light. He felt that they could be tackled and that his heartache and loneliness were temporary. This could also be that he saw a reminder of something positive in his sadness (painting paper tigers) which made him feel better.
This is all my interpretation. Who knows, he could've had something totally different in mind
Taken from lyric interpretation
nice !
Consider that it is quite good and accurate, much of your interpretation I also had, I would just have to wait for adam to clarify the lyrics (if that happens one day :'c)

Remembered hearing and singing this since junior high. Now I'm studying medicine and this has been a very nostalgic song.
2016 and still listening to this.
It's been awhile since I've heard this song. In honesty, I forgot how much I love it. I remember listening to this song when I was a bit younger, and for whatever reason it seemed so beautiful to me that made me want to cry.

In my top 5 best Owl City songs!
I don't understand how anyone could ever possibly dislike him or his music :')
I think youtube should make the views add up every time I watch owl city's videos, that will absolutely boost up the number....
The artistry in the lyrics always takes my breath away
"I've been bundled up alone by the fire even though I'm not exactly feelin' cold." Come on Adam, let it go, let it gooo, *THE COLD NEVER BOTHERED YOU ANYWAYYYY*
WHY IS THIS SONG IS NOT ON SPOTIFYYY???? *crying in memories*
I think cause it’s technically a demo, but I still wish it was on Spotify too😭
@@thriftqueen1621 never officially released, was a demo from his blog. as many other unreleased songs from adam young, hidden gems.
I love how random he is haha
Not completely random there is some subliminal message in it i think like his other songs
Oh, so beautiful. *contented sigh of happiness* I adore the beautiful titles of the songs. "Paper Tigers". I mean, what do you think when you read that? Could be anything. But that's what I love about Owl City. Not the face, not the sound, but the WORDS. The words paint a permanent melody of love and happiness and sadnness and contentness in my soul that lingers forever. The song titles are beautiful, and the words in the song don't have to focus all on the title, they just tell their own story.
I finally understand the meaning of Paper Tigers
+TEXASBLOODMONEY '00 What is your interpretation?
Explain please?
This is super happy song 😊
2020 still here! My fav song
But if the prettiest romance isnt perfectly right, that makes every love lost just a holiday every night.
Thank you Adam.
this sounds more like a 'the midsummer station' vibe to me than the songs on the album itself, tbh.
+The EXO Audio if this was on the midsummer station i probably would've liked it lol. ocean eyes and atbab are amazing but tms was just. eh.
+mariokartexpert1 yeah i agree :) I really want "Beautiful Mystery" & this song to be on tms. too late for that. I ', sad because the album cover was really awesome!!!
wot album was this on?
TheOmegaAlpha 72 sadly, this was an unreleased track
It was suppose to be on ATBAB (All Things Bright and Beautiful)
His songs always touch my heart because they all have meanings and are never about what most music is now a days
Jesus said this: "These things have I spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." John 16:33 (KJV). That is why we trust in Jesus Christ alone for our salvation. He is the giver of peace. We have peace when we know that we are protected. Jesus is our protector.
dude....you rock xD
its sad...you know. i lost my chance to tell the girl i love that i love her till i move to the other side of the world and never see her again....
its ok dude there is so much more girls in this world :'D
Why did you reply to your own comment?
Shut up and get a life
I can't even explain how much I love this song. I literally can't stop pressing the replay button. It reminds me of what owl city was originally like, and I'm completely addicted. I wish he made a million songs like this one!
You rock owl city
Adam's music is one of the very few reasons I get up in the morning it's number one and I feel you Aleksander Drake he also reminds me that there will always be hope
It takes skill to say "so consistently wide of the mark" in a song
Him and Sia are second to none when it comes to songwriting,they just have their own magical way of playing with words
When i was listening to this song, i immediately thought of sadness from disney pixars movie inside out
Girl, I LOVE his music, too and I'm black. Adam is so talented and just because he's white doesn't mean black people can't get into his music, too. I love Owl City and I am not ashamed to admit it.
Still watching in 2016? Well . . .I will be . . .
One thing I admire about Owl City is that his fans love him for his music more than his looks, also this song is awesome!
be lonely can be worse than a tiger bite
i never date a girls now i'm 26
people around my age are all married
i hate myself it hurt a lot
just because i'm nerdy and so introverted
its okay, Adam is 30 and he's not even married. The right person will come. Be confident in yourself and interact with people who share your interest.
i dont really like girls in place where i lived i hate them all Iliana Gomez
The world's a big place
It's good to share this feeling. Even with complete strangers on the internet!
It's alright, you aren't alone my dear.
:I what I'm wondering is... why is in every music video I see Adam in... he has the same outfit/coat on?? Lol I just realized that!
the same photoshoot? xD
MeepingSade Eh maybe Lol.
Maybe he can't wash his own clothes.
Ava Mixon
O.O? Like... he wears them all the time can't wash his clothes? That'd be so weird XD
Yeah that would be funny.
I owl city’s paper tiger it’s so good I love Adam’s voice it’s so angelic and so beautiful gorgeous 😎🤩❤️🥰👨🎤🎼🎤🎶🎵
I wish you could still download this:/ But it's still awesome.
What would you say the message of this song is? Just curious, as to what you think.
I really don't know. It just really appeals to me and I can almost, in weird way, relate. I have a couple theory's, but I'd like to hear yours?
If you have one:P Or are you in the same position as me (waiting on the other person to translate it for you;)
You going to the dance on Friday?
Yes, I am. You are, right?
This song doesn't sound like anything we've ever heard in his previous albums yet it's still Owl City-ish and it actually sounds like Adam did this alone and had fun making this. This is the change in direction that I want Adam to put in all the MST songs, not too old and not too mainstream at the same time! Good job, Adam.
the music reminds me of the Charlie Brown music 4 some reason
No. Never. Adam Young will always be Owl City. All his songs are so beautiful and his lyrics are written from the heart. I must say that All Things Bright And Beautiful was my favorite Owl City album. Adam Young is a strong christian and so am i.
I don't know whether to be angry or happy that there's 34 dislikes.....like, do I beat up the people who hit that button, or just be happy that there's not more?
***** oh reilly? Yes I PURPOSELY spelt really as reilly because I wanted to. Because muslims don't hurt people for not believing the same thing, or for that matter "athiests" too. It's human nature to dislike people who have different veiwpoints, so don't blame religion, and most definitely don't blame christianity.
how did this turn into a brawl? Adam wouldn't like this fighting ;)
***** Even though I'm Christian myself, I kind of agree. Way too many Christians go out there and hurt people, which is totally against what they believe in. It doesn't make sense, so I think those kinds of people are just plain dumb.
Emeralit I am not christian, i am Quabalist and Illuminati.
She also said Muslim, Aly, maybe you're only seeing or reading what you want to. But, hey, I'm Atheist and I love everyone, I'm taking psychology and I've realized that people DO hurt other people with different viewpoints. Either way, it's not right, but you can't really change it. It'll always be with us. Let's love while we can, who knows, because maybe tomorrow it could be all gone.
this is truly extraordinary
Who's listening in 2016 ♥
Me!!!!

2017
guys, you've gotta appreciate that even when he was making songs like good time he made this song around that time too, as if he suspected that we wouldn't all like his newer stuff so made this song just for us :3
where do i get this song (legally) ? it isn't on itunes and don't want to download it off some website that doesn't actually have any right to offer it up for download
i don't think you can anymore. i believe he pulled this and beautiful mystery off of his blog. while they were still up i believe you could download them. maybe a sign that he may re-release them on a ep?
You do realize most websites downloads are just songs people bought then converted right it's not illegal or morally wrong unless they make a profit off of it
Brenden Grillett It technically still is because they're letting other potential buyers get it for free.
Use a UA-cam to mp3 converter. It isn't morally wrong, since it was originally a free download anyway :P
thanks for the suggestion, but morally right and wrong is different that legally right and wrong, i'm looking for something that's legally right.
