bina pup Amazing. I was watching a lot of old Owl City videos and everyone is talking about the nostalgia they get and just reminiscing about what life was like for them 10 years ago, and here our boy Adam was singing about nostalgia back then. Gets me every time
I was 13 years of age when I first hear this song way back 2010. Now I'm 27 years old. The nostalgia with this song is wonderfully haunting the fact that we are not getting any younger. 😢
I feel you bro. I'm 26 and I heard the song when I was 12. T_T I was so young and it was a time when everything felt so alive. Now everyday just comes and goes and I don't even know what I'm doing with life.
People saying that owl city is underrated. That's how he wants it. He wants to stay innocent and underground. Fame comes with a price and he knows that
Though.. I do feel a lot of people should hear to his healing lovely music. (Modern songs are quite a noisy headache these days.) But, I think if fate and destiny decides it, then those who deserve will find and with open heart will embrace these songs and cherish them. ♡
Now I feel old, I didn't start listening to this guy until I was 13, and that was back in 2011... I keep expecting it to skip during the piano solo, like on my cd copy, lol.
This song was my brother's favorite song, he used to sing this song always and it always made him happy. But apparently he died from a heart disease, whenever I hear this song it always reminded me of my brother and even though this song is old, it will live on to my brother's soul, my family, and everyone. Thank you Owl City for showing and singing this song it means a lot to us. - March 2020
Makes me think of my aunt to bro. I cry everytime I hear it and its just hard sometimes to accept that there gone so I raise my glass to owl city. All day everyday🚀
Idk what to say i know what it feels in your state its tough but always look at your sides you will see people going thru the same stuff with you supporting you loving you and your brother is i hope proud of you even though he cant express it physically i know that he loves you
I remember finding this song when I was about 13, and this was the first time I’d ever struggled with my mental health. I used to listen to all owl city’s songs on my iPod, headphones in, everywhere I went. I’m 26 now and I am a mental health nurse working with teenagers. Every time I listen to owl city’s music it takes me back to those days, and reminds me how far I’ve come
This song creates a feeling that very few others can. Not sure if its nostalgia, melancholy, lovesick, etc but I always feel something unique when I listen to it.
@@Autumnpearly Hi, mind if I step in to clarify some stuff? I've been following Owl City since 2009 so I've been there for all the updates and statements. Yeah, Daniel was charged with SA but technically the only "member" of Owl City is Adam Young himself. Daniel is a separate entity from Owl City and was only haired to be part of Adam's tours basically (and I think he played in a few recorded songs but don't quote me on that; I don't read who plays every single instrument in Adam's music.) Adam has nothing to do with Daniel at this point. He hasn't for years so no, "they're" not all being charged since there is no they; Owl City isn't a band and also Adam had absolutely nothing to do with this all. He even put out a statement on the situation and expressed his disgust with the allegations. I hope this helps out explain what actually went down! :) Adam's name shouldn't be dragged through the mud over this and Daniel shouldn't even be associated with Owl City in my opinion since he is not Owl City. Adam Young is Owl City. (Sorry for my long comment here.)
I couldn’t agree more, though I loved his Sky Sailing project more than Owl City so it was a shame he only did one album for it (An Airplane Carried Me to Bed) because Adam had more success with his Owl City project, but of course I still love Owl City though, it’s just Sky Sailing hit harder and is my favourite kind of music from Adam.
My brother died suddenly in a commercial fishing accident a year ago. I have listened to this a million times. Then a month ago my sister also died. This song helps me so much. Thank you, Owl City.
Take me back to high school please, when things are simple, your problem is all about crush, exams, projects, allowances. Sadly songs are the only reminders we have except pictures. 😥
Why life gets so complicated? Worst thing about it my children will not get the true experience of life at it's best due to the absence of love, joy and happiness in it's purest form...
That is a beautiful season of life in its own way. Though, there are many good things about each season of life. It's funny how this song can make one remember past beauty.
thank god i listened to owl city when i was 12 and have nobody to associate these romantic sad songs with. thank you nostalgia, i won't forget how it feels to be young
I chased a girl for 6 long years and all those years I listened to this song, she was my childhood crush. I created countless romantic and sad moments with her, but all in my imagination. It has been more than a decade and this song has kept those feelings still safe in my heart.
I used to listen to this song on my dad's car radio years ago, back then i didn't understand english and I only like the calming and cozzy feel of the song. I suddenly remembered this song yesterday and struggle to remember anything about it. Them i remembered Owl City sung them. Here I am. Crying. This bring me back to Simpler times. Looking out the car windows, looking at the clear night and green trees at my hometown. Time when all i need to think about is homeworks and exams. Here I am now, with a dead dream and miserable life. Have a good day guys, never take anything for granted, be kind and don't waste your times with your loved ones. Hope you're all happy.
Hey Zach. Get your ass up and fight that idiotic spirit of despair. That's what life wants you to do now. Youve been knocked down in your journey. Get your ass up and and carve yourself a path that the universe will have no choice but to align with you. YOU can make your life better 💪
When listening to owl city, it feels like there is nothing negative in this world..it gives a vision of an utopia..a place where all live peacefully with no darkness. Then the reality kicks in...
It's like that gladiator Movie , Those Visions weren't only just that he was seeing what was promised for him. That utopia i Like to believe is there for us all period. in due time we all will find it.
Utpal Basumatary sadly reality isn’t like that anymore it used to be so fun but nowadays it’s all about sec and twerking and drama and back then it was so fun..🙁 I miss those memories I miss my childhood
This is one of the greatest artists around, unlike others who write their songs about drugs, money or sex. Thank you Owl City for being just being fantastic. You're one of my favorite artists and I hope you will continue making music for a long time
Jeffrey Chapman I know, but it seems like there aren't enough simple songs like this anymore. That are as imaginative and creative. What I meant by sex is just dirty crap that's overdone and just sounds gross and perverted. I didn't mean sex itself was bad, it's just the way it's being portrayed now.
Dave Strider Homestuck and things like it make me wish I HAD friends. It's not because I'm unliked, but because I live in Alaska, away from people. Kind of sucks..
Summer of 09 just finished freshman year. Reminds me of those feelings of infatuation you’d have for that person you’d meet on a warm summer night. Felt like you met the perfect person for it all to just be small phase in your life. Owl city man
Stupid. Greenday is from 90's til Early 2000's, Linkin Park is from Late 90's til Late 2000's, Owl City is from Late 2000's til Early 2010's. What era are you talking about?
Im 23 in 8 days and everytime i hear this song still i wanna cry i still remember hearing it when it first dropped i was suprr young and it just stayed with me. This song is definitely beautiful
It's been 14 years since it was released, but still, every time I listen to this song, I always get goosebumps. It makes my world feel calmer, more peaceful, and hopeful.
Same, i was at a clothing store and suddenly this song played and gave me goosebumps. Reminds me during my secondary school times, good old days. Thank you Owl City !
This song has a feeling that nobody can explain....so real & pure ....love it from 2014 when I first heart it i was in 10th still ... whenever I play this song something different happens...I make me feel calm .... Hats of owl city❤❤❤
Am I the only one glad that these kind of music doesn't get too popular? Because if it does, it could get so overplayed everyone would hate it, and that "feeling" that you get through these songs no longer exists...
karima mouawia , feel bad for them? because maybe they in love? honestly, love is the most powerful drug in the world, hands down. the withdrawals from it is damn near heart shattering. dependant upon how you lose your love, be it a break up, divorce, or even loss of life. it can wrack your world, and turn everything upside down and backwards. there will be days where you just don't know what to do. All you can do is push onward.
One of the most imaginatively dreamy songs ever written. That outro can’t even be articulated in words. It’s hauntingly chilling! This song is a pure celestial magical masterpiece that will never get old.
OMG, i haven't listened to this song for more than 10 YEARS!, to the point i forgot that owl city ever existed, but the moment this played literally the nostalgia came rushing in and like a switch i started singing along, i'm so surprised by myself that i actually know the lyrics word by word.
Yeah it’s because your mind associates the song with a nostalgic time period and certain memories in the past so you want to listen to it but the more you do, the more your brain associates it with new memories and a different time. It really sucks man.
I played this at my 4 yo nephew's funeral.... The line about how the spaces between your hand always wrecks me. He loved holding my hand. God I miss him. I'd give everything just to hug him and tell him I love him once more.... RIP Marty-Bear
@OhMyLife I’m so sorry for your the loss of your young nephew. It’s horrible that his life was cut so short. I’m sure he misses you lots too. I know this time is hard but you can get through it. You are strong. I’m sending lots of love and healing prayers to you and your family. ❤️
Vanilla Twilight and Fireflies are just so good, I can't believe 11years had passed since I listed to these songs. Thank you very much Owl City, you made my childhood dreamy🥺♥️
Bruh the line “I wish you were here” and the melody immediately following have been stuck in my head my whole life and I could never remember what song it was.
This song makes me cry everytime ive evef listened to it.. makes me think about my daughter. She was so beautiful and special. She was too perfect for this dirty world.. She died in my arms at 3 weeks old. Best three weeks i will ever have in this life.. when i think of you i dont feel so alone.. i miss you so much baby.
I was 7 and lonely. I had no friends and stayed inside listening to UA-cam and playing skyrim or minecraft. Owl City became one of my favorite bands due to the childlike joy and wonder Adam brings out. I am now 21 and still love Owl City. I look back at those bittersweet moments but I don't regret a thing.
honestly i think the most beautiful part of this video is that all these different people are caught in a moment of pure amazement and warmth when looking at something so beautiful like that. to me it really shows how we’re not all so different, and that the beauty of this world can sometimes make all of us forget about the worries of society and life.
I miss my childhood friend. We used to sing this always when we're young. But my family moved in to another city, we lost our bond. Last 2018, he died at the day of his birthday because of an accident. How I wish I can hug him for the last time. I will never forget you, you are one of a kind.
I lost my brother and i feel like Owl City helps me to talk to him and feels like a warm hug and comforting to hear Adams calming voice to get through the darkness. Like today is my brothers birthday and i wish he was here so much.
What I love about this song is that the message is "it doesn't matter why it ended, all that matters is that it ended and there is a recovery period, however long, that follows." Anybody that has been through any kind of a loss, break up or falling out knows the feeling. There comes a point where it is recognized that brighter days are ahead, and even when they come, a little piece of someone from our past stays with us. "Nothing you love is lost. Not really. Things, people-they always go away, sooner or later. You can’t hold them, any more than you can hold moonlight. But if they’ve touched you, if they’re inside you, then they’re still yours. The only things you ever really have are the ones you hold inside your heart." ~Bruce Coville.
Track "Owl City" on Bandsintown The stars lean down to kiss you And I lie awake and miss you Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere 'Cause I'll doze off safe and soundly But I'll miss your arms around me I'd send a postcard to you, dear 'Cause I wish you were here I'll watch the night turn light blue But it's not the same without you Because it takes two to whisper quietly The silence isn't so bad 'Till I look at my hands and feel sad 'Cause the spaces between my fingers Are right where yours fit perfectly I'll find repose in new ways Though I haven't slept in two days 'Cause cold nostalgia chills me to the bone 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 I don't feel so alone I don't feel so alone As many times as I blink I'll think of you tonight (Tonight, tonight, tonight...) I'll think of you tonight When violet eyes get brighter And heavy wings grow lighter I'll taste the sky and feel alive again And I'll forget the world that I knew But I swear I won't forget you Oh if my voice could reach back through the past I'd whisper in your ear: "Oh darling, I wish you were here"
I was 17 and he was 16. It’s been 15 years passed by, we haven’t met the other for very long time. I still miss him so much. This song awakens many beautiful memories in me. It’s my first lover’s favorite song and mine too 😊
I'm just 17 so I don't have any wisdom to share, but I'm sure she's looking down at you from up above. I hope the memories of the times you spent with her are sweet. Sending love ♥️
The time it was released , 2010 had no smartphone to listen to it. Completed school and was in college , 17 years old came across this song. One of the most soothing/blowing song both lyrically and musically. Heard it back again today and it gave me the exact feeling I heard it for the first time. Time changed days went by but the feeling never did
The winter clothes just made everyone look even more dearer and lovely in this. The young girl's smile when the line "I'd whisper in your ear" came is sooo sweet and dearly. It's a moment of magic, innocence, innocent mischief and the anticipation of some miracle that is about to come soon.
I remember watching to this video for the first time ever. I was in Ecuador and I had no idea what the lyrics were, but I loved it. Watching the snow and everything made me to dream about a life where there’s snow. And almost 15 years later here I am in the USA listening to this song again and remembering everything and understanding this song lol. And now when I’m outside walking on the snow I see how we tend to take everything for granted once we have it.
Owl City has the ability to greatly influence Nostalgia with his songs.Imagine listening to one of his his new songs and comeback after more than 10 years but still loving it and remembering so many memeories
I like to think that Adam could be a bartender. I would go up to him and be like 'One nostalgia please.' And he'd be like 'One Vanilla Twilight coming up.'
LYRICS: The stars lean down to kiss you And I lie awake and miss you Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere 'Cause I'll doze off safe and soundly But I'll miss your arms around me I'd send a postcard to you, dear 'Cause I wish you were here I'll watch the night turn light blue But it's not the same without you Because it takes two to whisper quietly The silence isn't so bad 'Til I look at my hands and feel sad 'Cause the spaces between my fingers Are right where yours fit perfectly I'll find repose in new ways Though I haven't slept in two days 'Cause cold nostalgia chills me to the bone 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 I don't feel so alone I don't feel so alone As many times as I blink I'll think of you tonight I'll think of you tonight When violet eyes get brighter And heavy wings grow lighter I'll taste the sky and feel alive again And I'll forget the world that I knew But I swear I won't forget you Oh if my voice could reach back through the past I'd whisper in your ear "Oh darling, I wish you were here"
Every now and then I will come back to this song. I’m not sure why, but it always pulls me back. It’s sad and also peaceful. It’s truly a beautiful song. It’s 2022 and this song will always touch me, the same way it did the first time I heard it
This is the last song I heard with my old man before he left on the train to the afterlife when I was 15 and every time I hear it, I think of him and it almost makes me cry since he was separated from my family due to his drinking problem and he died unexpectedly.
Owl city 0% bad intent 100% hits you in the feels and has an amazing story to every song and gives you the one feeling you can’t explain or compress. Edit:Thanks for the likes this is the most I’ve ever gotten. Edit 2: Wow 111 likes that’s insane. Definitely the most I ever have had.
I'll leave a comment so that if I live long enough, I'll come back and check and see my old comment haha 16:41PM, 04-28-2021, Wednesday Just marking it ;)
I don't care who you are, Owl City's music can change anybody's mood from sadness to happiness instantly, this guy's songs are just so beautiful, it amazes me. There's always something special in his songs that is hard to avoid.
This song remind me of my wife, she become my girlfriend when we were in high school (2011) until we got married in 2020, but then she passed away in 2021. Thank you owl city, because when im thinking about her while listen to this music, i dont feel so alone, she always in my heart.
Looks up coldplay, gets owl city... Listens to a few songs, remembers how much you love owl city listen longer... Stays up till 3 am listening to owl city
It's almost Christmas. I've always been watching the nightsky and playing Owl City songs. So calming and relaxing. I love our planet and the stars above.
Suddenly my tears fell down in the part "When violate eyes get brighter and heavy wings go lighter. I'll taste the sky and feel alive again.." I dont know why but I really felt that Im not alone..thanks for making this song..I love it.
“Cause cold nostalgia chills me to the bone.”

Damn

Wait did you do that? Or anyone for that regard
This song creates a feeling that very few others can. Not sure if its nostalgia, melancholy, lovesick, etc but I always feel something unique when I listen to it.
It’s one of those words that doesn’t exist in English, but means so much….
The heart of Owl City. That's the only way to describe it.
EXATO !!!!! É exatamente isso! 😮
Couldn't agree more
Agree. I always have the urge to shed a tears from longing for something beautiful it hurts. 🥲
Owl City really needs to go back making dreamy songs again because I really do think that dreamy songs define Owl City.
Yeah i miss owl city so much, its been too long since his last song

I was in 8.... 9 grade ahhh miss those days
@@itsextreme6382 we're of same age :D i was in the 9th grade and was quite fond of listening to owl city and Justin Bieber (to be honest haha)
hi guys
these songs hit differently ya know
Summer of 09 just finished freshman year. Reminds me of those feelings of infatuation you’d have for that person you’d meet on a warm summer night. Felt like you met the perfect person for it all to just be small phase in your life. Owl city man
I feel that and i remember that summer night.
Right...
Owl City, Linkin Park, Green day. ❤️ I'm honored to be a part of their era
Insert avicii ❤️❤️
Simple plan❤
Stupid. Greenday is from 90's til Early 2000's, Linkin Park is from Late 90's til Late 2000's, Owl City is from Late 2000's til Early 2010's. What era are you talking about?
👍❤️
@@jaymarknapoles84 maybe he's 20 something and has lived through all three eras... stupid
The nostalgia this song brings is not a joke. Especially, when it's 2 am.
It's 12 am, first day of September, and I decided to stay up and sleep away with nostalgia.
So true.
😭
Damn how do you know I'm at 2am rn
im listening to this song right now at 2am and it brings so much memories to me
Just as magical as 12 years ago. Thank You, Owl City. Hope you’re well.
He’s In jail
@@Leahsfilms why?!
@@purgatory6103 a former member of the band is in jail for lewd acts with a minor however Adam Young is not involved with that issue
@@VinnyG1995 oh well damn. I should feel a little happier but Adam is human. Humans can’t resist what they can’t control.
He's back!!
2025 and this song still chills me in the bone everytime I listen to it.
Let's be honest, this is the most beautiful song in existence.
Fireflies and this one🥺
totally agree with this ...
My favorite song.
Im 23 in 8 days and everytime i hear this song still i wanna cry i still remember hearing it when it first dropped i was suprr young and it just stayed with me. This song is definitely beautiful
couldn't agree more 🥰
I was 11 when I first heard this. I'm 23 now. Still has the same ethereal feel to it.
Same! I was on 5th grade that time. I’m also turning 23 this year. Ahhh nostalgia
And I was just 1 year old
@Adika I love this song is so good and that is why I like owl city it’s nostalgia and beautiful
2012 when i 1st hear it, im 23 now
I heard Adam's songs when I was in middle school,now I am in university lol.A fan from China.
everytime i hear this song i feel sad but at peace. you guys get me?
Totally :)
same
It's weird....but yeah. This gave me Nostalgia, and i almost cried. :)
Same
YES 😆
It's been 14 years since it was released, but still, every time I listen to this song, I always get goosebumps. It makes my world feel calmer, more peaceful, and hopeful.
It's been 13 years still this song gives me goosebumps
Same, i was at a clothing store and suddenly this song played and gave me goosebumps. Reminds me during my secondary school times, good old days. Thank you Owl City !

Timeless? Nothing more than a shameless attempt to recreate the magic of Fireflies
Perfect song for holding a coffee while its raining this quarantine period
Well I'm near my desk with a hot cup of tea, fairly lights on and it is raining outside😌❤
Im flashing back like 12 years so much "cold nostalgia that chills me to the bone"
@@joshinmenow6247 dude brings back sweet memories 12 years back innit
This is soooo truee
Yea
This song has a feeling that nobody can explain....so real & pure ....love it from 2014 when I first heart it i was in 10th still ... whenever I play this song something different happens...I make me feel calm .... Hats of owl city❤❤❤
Why is owl city a positive emo
This is on point.
That's a perfect description
Hahaha ❤
He sings happy songs about life. Emo don’t do that
@@carguy1697 exactly why i said POSITIVE emo
Am I the only one glad that these kind of music doesn't get too popular? Because if it does, it could get so overplayed everyone would hate it, and that "feeling" that you get through these songs no longer exists...
so true
true
So true...
yeah so true
+Thomas Hell actually this song was sooo popular back the in 2010
'Cause the spaces between my fingers are right where yours fit perfectly
you feel it too right.. :)
Souljah.
?
This ma song 💖💖
.. Yep... :) maybe not in this life.. But..another
after 14 years later I comeback to this song, I just notice shaq was in the video
Please wake me up in the dream call my mom Rebecca juco and aljon juco my angel Nicole juco I love you too
I was searching for this comment, I saw shaq and I almost spit my coffe
who came here because this song reminds you of old times
my boyfriend dumped me and told me he wanted nothing to do with me. hahahaha--
this song reminds me of him so much.
Dota2 Epic remind me about her...
Dota2 Epic I came to this song, because my boyfriend sent me the link
Dota2 Epic me
karima mouawia , feel bad for them? because maybe they in love?
honestly, love is the most powerful drug in the world, hands down.
the withdrawals from it is damn near heart shattering.
dependant upon how you lose your love, be it a break up, divorce, or even loss of life.
it can wrack your world, and turn everything upside down and backwards.
there will be days where you just don't know what to do. All you can do is push onward.
One of the most imaginatively dreamy songs ever written. That outro can’t even be articulated in words. It’s hauntingly chilling! This song is a pure celestial magical masterpiece that will never get old.
This song reminds me of a lover i never even had.
Better than to have it remind you of someone who is no longer around.
@@Daniel1968-p4n oomph that stings
the lover you had? was Owl City
I can relate
same q
OMG, i haven't listened to this song for more than 10 YEARS!, to the point i forgot that owl city ever existed, but the moment this played literally the nostalgia came rushing in and like a switch i started singing along, i'm so surprised by myself that i actually know the lyrics word by word.
I miss this era. I really loves this song, but don't play it every single day, cause i don't wanna mess and ruin the vibes.
@Angelyn Genisan yass 😂
Man. I love this song
that's perfect. Dont play it too much. Only when you really feel the longing.
Sama neng.. entah kenapa jadi rindu owl city & Adam young..😭🙏
Yeah it’s because your mind associates the song with a nostalgic time period and certain memories in the past so you want to listen to it but the more you do, the more your brain associates it with new memories and a different time. It really sucks man.
I played this at my 4 yo nephew's funeral.... The line about how the spaces between your hand always wrecks me. He loved holding my hand. God I miss him. I'd give everything just to hug him and tell him I love him once more....
RIP Marty-Bear
I still miss you baby boy.
@OhMyLife I’m so sorry for your the loss of your young nephew. It’s horrible that his life was cut so short. I’m sure he misses you lots too. I know this time is hard but you can get through it. You are strong. I’m sending lots of love and healing prayers to you and your family. ❤️
He is now in paradise with Jesus ♥✝
@@0hMyLife... Enjoy those memories with love for your darling nephew , there was a reason you were meant to watch the video ...
Oh, I'm so sorry for your pain and sorrow. 💔 bless you both 🎉 xxx
Vanilla Twilight and Fireflies are just so good, I can't believe 11years had passed since I listed to these songs. Thank you very much Owl City, you made my childhood dreamy🥺♥️

@jugglerj0e 😂
Bruh the line “I wish you were here” and the melody immediately following have been stuck in my head my whole life and I could never remember what song it was.
Adam S 😭😭 how did you find the song?
XO Formula on ipad I was on a nostalgia binge and this was suggested
Adam S how did you remember the song
XO Formula on ipad idk I listened to it a lot when I was younger and when I saw the title in recommended I was like “oh damn this used to be my jam”
That's what's happening to me
I can't believe I forgot about my childhood favorite singer... I love him and his songs so much!
Ikr
Same
Same here T_T
Agreed
Moondust me 2 .
This song makes me cry everytime ive evef listened to it.. makes me think about my daughter. She was so beautiful and special. She was too perfect for this dirty world.. She died in my arms at 3 weeks old. Best three weeks i will ever have in this life.. when i think of you i dont feel so alone.. i miss you so much baby.
F
So sad! Sorry for your loss!
Im so sorry for your loss.
Dude I hope ur doing well
I'm so sorry for your loss. :(
I was 7 and lonely. I had no friends and stayed inside listening to UA-cam and playing skyrim or minecraft. Owl City became one of my favorite bands due to the childlike joy and wonder Adam brings out. I am now 21 and still love Owl City. I look back at those bittersweet moments but I don't regret a thing.
Owl City is a one man show. Not a band
No nudity, no drugs, no bad language.
Ladies and gents Owl city for you. Enjoy
Islam Mbarak yeah pure talent
I will😊
👍👍👍👍✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌👏👏👏👏👏👏
Islam Mbarak And a very friendly face. Are you ready to this ? (Edit : It's a joke, don't Take it bad.)
Islam Mbarak ❤️❤️❤️
is it just me or, every time i listen to this it feel's really soothing and it's kinda like taking me to a magical place.
It's not just you!
I listen to it every time I can’t fall asleep and right when it ends I can sleep easily. So ya definitely. 😁
icalculi you’re not the only one. Owl City has the tendency to do that.
Wow
To a lovely time
Vanilla twilight
icalculi That's what we call : "Nostalgia", my friend.
My favourite part in this song is:
" because the spaces between my fingers are right where yours fit perfectly".
Joey Grotentraast that's my favorite too!
Joey Grotentraast same
same!!
Dido :)
It is really nice
14 years and we're still here
Nostalgia... Thanks Owl City for your amazing music while I was growing up, I appreciate it.
I used to sit in front of the CD player and play this song over and over and over again.
His songs are well made and they have good meaning vs what we have commonplace now
I'd like to thank owl city for reminding me of the pass also.
Sexy Pants pass or past...just kidding..i know what you mean.
Md Joheb Good for you!!
honestly i think the most beautiful part of this video is that all these different people are caught in a moment of pure amazement and warmth when looking at something so beautiful like that. to me it really shows how we’re not all so different, and that the beauty of this world can sometimes make all of us forget about the worries of society and life.
I was thinking about this exact thing earlier when listening, good fuckin take.
really nice perspective! true
We are all the same. We all met here even though we all seem so different. Have a good day!!
I miss my childhood friend. We used to sing this always when we're young. But my family moved in to another city, we lost our bond. Last 2018, he died at the day of his birthday because of an accident. How I wish I can hug him for the last time. I will never forget you, you are one of a kind.
Same. I lose both my father and ex in the same day.
Sad to know
Sorry for your loss
That's a sad story
**hugs**
wow this brought back so much bittersweet nostalgia.
I lost my mom in 2019, and now looking back on the song, it makes me wanna cry.. I miss you mom... every single day
I just lost my mom in August, I feel your pain.
Hope you're both doing a little bit better
I lost my brother and i feel like Owl City helps me to talk to him and feels like a warm hug and comforting to hear Adams calming voice to get through the darkness. Like today is my brothers birthday and i wish he was here so much.
Dont worry buddy !
I lost mine in 2018 shout out to all the mommas out there keep pushing honey
I love how nobody pulls out their phone to take pictures.. they just stand in awe .
Yeah but they are in 2009 sooo
2009 Rise of the iPhone... Fall of the BlackBerry
Idk
Wholesome
Nokia Laughs in the background
Your brain holds a better memory than any phone.....lol that was kinda cringe.
Owl city vocalist Adam Young was 23 when it was recorded and released before his 24th birthday.
He's 34 now in 2020
Time really flies
fireflies?
Holy shit
Like fireflies
Yeap I was 21 when I first heard this song . I’m 31 now lol
@@chernoboggames5973 That's exactly what I was going to say XD
What I love about this song is that the message is "it doesn't matter why it ended, all that matters is that it ended and there is a recovery period, however long, that follows." Anybody that has been through any kind of a loss, break up or falling out knows the feeling. There comes a point where it is recognized that brighter days are ahead, and even when they come, a little piece of someone from our past stays with us. "Nothing you love is lost. Not really. Things, people-they always go away, sooner or later. You can’t hold them, any more than you can hold moonlight. But if they’ve touched you, if they’re inside you, then they’re still yours. The only things you ever really have are the ones you hold inside your heart." ~Bruce Coville.
Track "Owl City"
on Bandsintown
The stars lean down to kiss you
And I lie awake and miss you
Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere
'Cause I'll doze off safe and soundly
But I'll miss your arms around me
I'd send a postcard to you, dear
'Cause I wish you were here
I'll watch the night turn light blue
But it's not the same without you
Because it takes two to whisper quietly
The silence isn't so bad
'Till I look at my hands and feel sad
'Cause the spaces between my fingers
Are right where yours fit perfectly
I'll find repose in new ways
Though I haven't slept in two days
'Cause cold nostalgia chills me to the bone
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
I don't feel so alone
I don't feel so alone
As many times as I blink
I'll think of you tonight
(Tonight, tonight, tonight...)
I'll think of you tonight
When violet eyes get brighter
And heavy wings grow lighter
I'll taste the sky and feel alive again
And I'll forget the world that I knew
But I swear I won't forget you
Oh if my voice could reach back through the past
I'd whisper in your ear:
"Oh darling, I wish you were here"
thank you, man
The last lyric hit me preety hard :[
Thanks bro
I was 18 when it was released and I was in some deep depression now I am 31 and this song is just pure bliss, gives me the psych and zeal to move on 😊
Wow
Same here
From where are you?
I feel you bro.
I was 17 and he was 16. It’s been 15 years passed by, we haven’t met the other for very long time. I still miss him so much.
This song awakens many beautiful memories in me. It’s my first lover’s favorite song and mine too 😊
I sometimes like to think my wife is looking down at me. I definitely miss her company.
I'm just 17 so I don't have any wisdom to share, but I'm sure she's looking down at you from up above. I hope the memories of the times you spent with her are sweet. Sending love ♥️
I'm sure she is. always
God bless you!
:(
Yaa...
The time it was released , 2010 had no smartphone to listen to it. Completed school and was in college , 17 years old came across this song. One of the most soothing/blowing song both lyrically and musically. Heard it back again today and it gave me the exact feeling I heard it for the first time. Time changed days went by but the feeling never did
He'll be our special secret.
The ones who know love it. Don't despair, quite a few younguns like this ❤
I couldn’t agree more though his Sky Sailing project was even more underrated. An Airplane Carried Me to Bed is a masterpiece!
I know by experience that a lot of Boomers don't appreciate It neither.
I'm 16. Born in 2005. I still listen to songs that are almost my age or much older, they make me feel something special.
Covid19 locked down brought me here
this song😭 so lovely...
I remembered my childhood days
hi
Same
Ye me too
Hi man! I also here because of the lockdown
Well hopefully lockdown ends and we all can listen to this song again but this time not with sadness.
The winter clothes just made everyone look even more dearer and lovely in this. The young girl's smile when the line "I'd whisper in your ear" came is sooo sweet and dearly. It's a moment of magic, innocence, innocent mischief and the anticipation of some miracle that is about to come soon.
Thank God for this life.
Thank Owl City for this song.
🙏
🙏❤️
I'm a Buddhist but yeah thank owl city for this song
Who is here in 2019 having memories 😩 of good old times
Old gold memories 😩
Brings back the best memories 😥😢

Meeehhh😞😭

And for 3 minutes, 53 seconds, the world was at peace.

Yes and all the Guns were silent and every soldier on both sides chilled to music like this!💗💙💖💛💖💙💗💛💞💘✨💕
I remember watching to this video for the first time ever. I was in Ecuador and I had no idea what the lyrics were, but I loved it. Watching the snow and everything made me to dream about a life where there’s snow. And almost 15 years later here I am in the USA listening to this song again and remembering everything and understanding this song lol.
And now when I’m outside walking on the snow I see how we tend to take everything for granted once we have it.

Owl City has the ability to greatly influence Nostalgia with his songs.Imagine listening to one of his his new songs and comeback after more than 10 years but still loving it and remembering so many memeories
this song is so much nostalgic and chills me to the bone 😂❤
I like to think that Adam could be a bartender. I would go up to him and be like 'One nostalgia please.' And he'd be like 'One Vanilla Twilight coming up.'
That would be amazing xD
i just hope it doesnt taste like chocolate
He'd pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere.
Oh darling won't you have a beer
Gaston DeBiedma he'd make sure you didn't feel so alone

Wish someone would pin this
Every now and then I will come back to this song. I’m not sure why, but it always pulls me back. It’s sad and also peaceful. It’s truly a beautiful song. It’s 2022 and this song will always touch me, the same way it did the first time I heard it
This is the last song I heard with my old man before he left on the train to the afterlife when I was 15 and every time I hear it, I think of him and it almost makes me cry since he was separated from my family due to his drinking problem and he died unexpectedly.
Owl city

I don't care who you are, Owl City's music can change anybody's mood from sadness to happiness instantly, this guy's songs are just so beautiful, it amazes me. There's always something special in his songs that is hard to avoid.
exactly! It's so hard to explain what owl city's musics can do = )
that's why all of their music are on my playlist.
