Owl city has the ability to take ANY type of music and make it awesome. Acoustic to electronic, Instrumental to dubstep, Adam Young makes everything awesome.
My favorite thing to do when listening is to dance like I'm an evil hot girl with poison tipped stilettos and killer spy equipment who wants to take over the world with secretly placed bombs in the Eiffel Tower, switching between her and James Bond who's obviously dressed to the nines and trying to foil her plans of world domination with macguyver skills and spy tech while being seduced and nearly murdered...lol so fun!
Bro literally why isn't this song more well known???? This is so good????? I've listened to this for 10 hours on loop how the fuck is it this good???? Also I genuinely didn't know that it was Owl City but god damn I would sell my soul to get Adam to make another song that makes me feel as alive as this one.
@@physicallyAmbitiousa year late I know but I can't find anything about this online. Are you sure you're not thinking of the "good time" copyright lawsuit? Adam and Carly Rae Jepsen got legal victory over that.
+Katez Idiot, it's a typo, don't expect everyone to have perfect grammar you dimwit, It doesn't mean they have HORRIBLE English, it's a common mistake, I wonder when you make a simple typo you say: "Shit! my English is horrible because i made a small typo".
I was a huge fan of owl city when I was....like....8-11 and then I just kind of stopped listening and got into more punk rock stuff but I think I should start listening to owl city again :) I especially like this song its so awesome
I would like to thank Adam Young's works for being the largest inspiration for me writing my novel. Because damn, Owl City is pretty much the only music I can write to because his songs are just so fun, have the ability to be calming, and he releases an array of different songs that evoke different emotions. I just appreciate his work so much and nnnnn I am just so thankful for his music.
I literally don't see the problem with this, it's a good change in style, and people are hating on how this man literally changed his style of music, like give this man a break. Annoying so-called fans
I love the way he sings wiiiired up to detonate!!!! I might pronounce that word differently from now on. Thank you Adam Young for being brave to experiment beyond you're traditional genre.
It really, really, really erks me when people get such obvious lyrics wrong. Look up the lyrics for goodness sakes, or better yet actually LISTEN to the song ._. It's like my biggest pet peeve. It's "wired up to detonate" not "light her up to detonate" it doesn't even sound like that -_-
It's not "She's so foxy, she could lead to my advice." It's "She's so foxy, she could lead to my demise." It's not "She's a Bombshell Blonde, light her up to detonate." It's "She's a Bombshell Blonde, wired up to detonate."
I've seen people who miss his old music and hate the change. Well, you know as an artist he can change or explore other genres. It's just like us, changing ourselves or exploring other paths in our life. As AndresTweets said I honestly will support him no matter what type of music he tries. Adam is an huge inspiration to me and his music has helped me through some events in my life, thus he has my support as I try to covert others to Owl City. xD
+8bitPuppy Haven't you noticed? Most of a bands "fans" will leave as soon as they try ANYTHING new. Of course, these same people will complain that they're "just releasing the same old" if they don't mix it up. They can't win. Look at Fall Out Boy, the number of people who complained about the most recent album.
+Matthew Bullock I personally don't see the point of being a permanent fan of a band. It might just be because I have such a wide array of the kinds of music I like, and often only like a few songs of a particular. (Only two or three bands have I enjoyed more of their songs, Owl City being one of them) Then again, that's just my opinion.
Moon Wolf That's a good point. Just because it's a band you generally like doesn't mean you have to like everything they do. I was referring more to people who run off at the slightest change in the norm. It's okay to be experimental, but if that change becomes a pattern that you don't like, then it seems more appropriate to consider moving on.
No, he's saying just the opposite, he's saying she's dangerous but he's attracted to her, "So I'm running cause I've run out of time" means other people want her and he wants to get there first, The line "A hot mess in a dress gets the best of me" is saying that she's manipulated him, so does the line "her charm is spiked with a spell"
I know, that's what we're all sayinggg Adam used to be calm, peaceful, singing sweetly with unique flowy-ness about dreamy princesses and enchanted scenes and now it's just the mainstream, repetitious, upbeat stuff about hot girls -___-
I find it funny how he says "that vixen, she's a master of disguise" because on the one hand vixen is kind of an old-fashioned way of saying a sexy woman but it's also the word for female fox. And what are foxes known for? Their cunning and wit. Not to mention, in Japanese folklore foxes are shapeshifters, capable of transforming into attractive women and men. Dunno if that was on purpose or not, probably not, but it's a funny allusion.
make no mistake, Adam makes all this music because he likes doing it. chances are he does so many genres because he wants to try a little of everything. he's like Toby Mac, who does christian hip hop, rap, and rock, among other things; im not too educated on his music. Adam Young has said himself that he wants to try new things. let him move, because to him, he's always moving forward.
yeah exactly. Hes done it many times, in many of his songs such as the bird and the worm or vanilla twilight. He writes many love songs, and this is one of his direct ones.
I heard everyone talking crap about this song, but it's awesome! You tards know Adam has been working closely with people in the EDM industry don't you? Like Armin Van Buuren and the like? It's no surprise that he'd make a dancy/trancy kinda song like this. As for those saying it isn't him, the lyrics have Adam written all over them. I love this! :D
I don't know anything about the industry behind this song, but beyond this song and everything, I do think that he is a Christian and he may be possibly shining a provocative light on a Proverbs 5 type of a woman. Maybe.. but you never know.
This is the first time, that I am listening to this song; I love it! Although, I cannot help but imagine Adam Young himself, dressed-up in suit, as a secret agent under the alias of "Flames Pond", while the "bombshell blonde" that he is referring to in this song, is Taylor Swift (probably wearing a fiery dress- something antagonistic). Someone please write fanfiction about this.
A lot of his songs are about being attracted to girls, just not as 'obvious'. He can write about finding a girl attractive, there's nothing wrong with the song, at least he's not being really sexist or anything. I understand why you'd say that; since it's Adam haha. Sorry about the sarcasm, I was just reading through the comments and getting annoyed by the lack of support :)
Thanks for sharing! I knew Adam couldn't just write a song about an attractive woman for no reason; there had to be a twist in the lyrics somewhere. This definitely puts things into perspective. On a side note, am I the only one reminded of his adventures of "Flames Pond" from his school days? c:
Compared to all his other songs and how different this one is just shows that he is highly skilled and even more amazing at creating incredible, awsome music! Who cares if it's different to his other music!! LISTEN and respect the amazingness of his musical talent!!!! :)
normal owl city song: very chill, has that nostalgic feeling
this: BOMBSHELL BLONDE, LIVE TO DIE ANOTHER DAYYYYY
I keep saying this, but I'm like suuuuper sure this was a song he wrote for the frustration he felt with the flirtationship he had with Taylor Swift. She kinda played him :c

@@thanthanh5190 This song was made as the dubstep craze was dying out, that's part of why people don't like it all that much.

Still isn't there!
Sameeeee

it still aint
Why did it disappear?
"The bad news, I'm a fuse, and I've met my match, so stand back, it's about to go off".
Adam, you're a genius.
That’s actually fucking brilliant
Making this comment so you have to come back And re-listen to this amazing song
Owl city has the ability to take ANY type of music and make it awesome. Acoustic to electronic, Instrumental to dubstep, Adam Young makes everything awesome.
I usually don't like music about pretty women, but Adam just has this way with words, it's still got his touch to it. The imagery is still great.
yES.

Different answer by me
I rediscover this song every now and then and it's everything.
How's it?
Same
reminder
sameeee
Bro same
It sounds like 'she could eat a million pies', I can never unhear that.
lol
Ellsaurus Why does that sound like something Adam would sing damn
cos he writes his songs at night cos he has insomnia. thats why his lyrics are so weird
OMG, i cant unhear that now
WHO.
SAID.
*PIE?!*
This song deserves more love.
I agree, I love this style and this side of Adam makes him more dynamic in my opinion. He just doesn't make songs like these but honestly I love it
Fr
I mean I guess but not really
Agree
@@whitefazo2168 YOU MUST SAY AGREE
I CANT FIND THIS SONG ON SPOTIFY AND I AM PISSED
ikr :(
+Dragonfudge Agreed.
That's why i use iTunes, it's available there for $1.29
Denton itunes is so 2009
Jonathan Perez but still, they have it and i still much prefer iTunes over Spotify
I love his word plays that he includes even in this new-for-him style: "That vixen" and then, "She's so foxy". A vixen is a female fox.
Ye its cool
But what does she say? ;)
Foxy means sexy
remember when this song caused a riot in the owl city fandom because adam dared be a bit spicier with the lyrics. simpler times.
Although this isn't very Owl City-ish, I freaking love this. Greatest last song on an album that I've heard in forever.
My favorite thing to do when listening is to dance like I'm an evil hot girl with poison tipped stilettos and killer spy equipment who wants to take over the world with secretly placed bombs in the Eiffel Tower, switching between her and James Bond who's obviously dressed to the nines and trying to foil her plans of world domination with macguyver skills and spy tech while being seduced and nearly murdered...lol so fun!

1:53 sounds like adam dragged all of the different sounds from a dubstep kit and played them together lol
Maybe he did! You never know, this is Adam Young after all ;) It sounds really cool anyway.
you are not wrong. just dissecting it by ear, it sounds off.
Ryujin I kinda dig it tbh
I noticed that, too. I actually kind of like it, but it sounds kind of off compared to the rest of the song. LOL
hey, i dont care what he did, it sounds pretty cool!
I haven't listened to this song in a really long time, and I forgot that Adam was capable of making songs like these. It was a pleasant surprise
I like this song. Its a bit unlike Owl City, but I still find it enjoyable and I wish it was on the U.S version of Midsummer Station.
Yeah, its not on Spotify, what version is it on? 😩

i've corrected it, btw you didn't have to be so mean bitch !
I love it when Adam tries new styles, because no matter what kind of music he makes it always sounds awesome.

yeah exactly. Hes done it many times, in many of his songs such as the bird and the worm or vanilla twilight. He writes many love songs, and this is one of his direct ones.
