The little kid is not committing suicide, he has made a boxcar with wings which will take him from one island, where he is stranded, to another island, where his mother is waiting in their home for him to return. Umbrella Beach is a surreal view of the story of The Prodigal Son. The song is all about how the boy ran away from home, then realized what he had done, and at that, went to great lengths to undo the pain he had caused his mother and thus decided to return back to his home. 'Home will always be here, unseen, out of sight'. These are his resonating thoughts, memoirs, of home, while he is away and on the run. Tom
I don't know, I know this comment's been recycled for a few years now, but now that I'm looking at it, it looks as if they're all on the same island; the island in the distance looks the same. So maybe the scenes of the boy were the past and his assumed parents look for him everyday in the future
Green Poo I sorta feel that while there might be a conontation of the kid suiciding, i feel that its more towards the kid achieved his dreams and left the little island, and his mom is waiting for him to come home and his dad is up on the roof to see if theres anyone coming from the mainland
And then they both die, the lady and the son, the father is in heaven, looking to see if his wife and son are okay, the son runs away because he can't deal with the pain of losing his dad, and the mom builds a boxcar to look for her son, the son builds a boxcar to look for his mom, they die, and join the dad in heaven
Few lost boys..One lost mom..Home out of reach, understand..Umbrella I'll hold keep you dry. protected, I have always walked in rain hoping to heal every pain endured but my own. That's truth..Love...
everytime i listen to his music it hurts because i know im getting older and still coming back to his music and just reminds me of being a teenager listening to this and man i wish i could go back.
Kshitij Pandit you know many people have said that to describe owl city’s music, and I can’t say I’m different 😃 it really is surreal and other worldly, makes me think I’m still a little kid playing around
Guys, this video is not about dying. It's about the exact opposite - living!! Don't you get it? Adam made the lyrics, which are quite vivid and imaginative, why wouldn't the video be, like when the kid flies, he really pursues his own dreams. Seeing you guys caring about whether the boy dies or is okey ruins it all. This is an uplifting video :D
Owl City creates music that brings you out of this world. He uses the natural world for his themes. He does not need half-naked twerking ladies, kissing scenes, money showing, and showboating to make his music become so loved all the world over.
Holy shit... I can't believe it's been 6 years. I bought this album about 5 years ago and so much has happened in that time. It feels so nostalgic and weird now, listening awkwardly to the music I used to listen to everyday for hours on end. Sorta makes me miss back when life was simpler.
The line "underwater ferris wheel" makes me actually picture a ferris wheel that's underwater with an underwater theme park all around it. And the "home is a boxcar" line reminds me of the Boxcar Children book series XD
Still my all time favourite Owl City song - very dreamy, I remember listening when I was younger. Dreaming of the ocean and this song(and many others) became my own place ‘to disappear and hide’
"Umbrella Beach" Stems and gears, oh how the daisies bloom When chandeliers light up the engine room Can you feel the drops as it starts to rain There's an underwater Ferris wheel Where I found the missing link to this island chain Home will always be here, unseen, outta sight Where I disappear and hide I think dreamy things as I'm waving goodbye So I'll spread out my wings and fly Home is a boxcar and it's so far out of reach Hidden under umbrella beach Home will always be here, unseen, outta sight Where I disappear and hide I think dreamy things as I'm waving goodbye So I'll spread out my wings and fly I'll spread my wings and fly Home is a boxcar and it's so far out of reach Hidden under umbrella beach
Can't believe it... Listened to this song like 3 or 4 years ago for the first time, and yet STILL people are coming here everyday and hearing this for the first time. Another thing, the last time I listen to this song was way long ago, but I still know almost all of the lyrics! Hehe...
I always loved the "home is a box car, it's so far....out of reach" line because my husband works on the railroad and that line is so true for him, a lot of the time! He is always out there in the middle of nowhere and working towards getting home to his family!
+Chuto yep i was 9 first time i heard it😎 but then forgot the song😢 and the artist till i heard it again on the radio and wrote down the as soon as i found out his name. my fav song from owl city is fireflies 🔥🐝
I'm a die-hard "Satanic/horror" black metal fan.... But Owl City's older music holds a special place in my heart. I could never hold anger towards Adam Young's wonderfully vibrant and aesthetically pleasing structure
Umbrella Beach by Owl City Songfacts®: This is the first single released in the UK by Owl City, an Electronica/Pop project of Minnesota native Adam Young. A self-described "shy-kid," this song reflects Young's desire to escape in dreams and hide away from life's pressures. Young explained to Female First: "'Umbrella Beach' is about a hermit living in a box car on the edge of the shoreline that corroded so badly, it wound up at the bottom of the bay. Rather than finding a new home, the hermit chooses to learn to scuba dive and now spends his days deep under the waves in his boxcar."
The kid is chasing his dreams. The mom simply ponders at the distant city, meanwhile the dad cowardly observes it through his binoculars. Ahh this video unsettled me. I wish I could've understood this concept as a 15 year old. back when the video came out.
you remind me of holden caulfield, I despise english and literature personally and am mainly exclusively interested in mathematics and science although you seem to value youth, and the many numerous beneficial qualities and attributes in which it is associated with and I certainly agree with that perspective. It resonated quite significantly with me, and was the only theme other than time stoping and everything remaining the same that remained with me after reading the book. Unless you have a career directly related to scientific, mathematics and engineering and are an adult the youth of the newest generation are the most intelligent, least ignorant RELATIVELY although that can be argued, eager, and willing to learn, and be productive for the fun, satisfaction and euphoria involved when compared with adults. Adults focus only on personal gain and gain for others, monetarily and morally after a while, gradually which seems to be a monotonous, and increases their ignorance, obstructing their view of a larger reality, which in turn, causes delusion when becoming very elderly and prevents creative intellectual thinking. Oh society I hate you, and social rights that you create and foster the existence of, held exclusively by adults, other than substance use laws and driving- from anonymous
This video is completely metaphorical of Adam Young’s musical career. The kid is meant to be Adam Young. The boxcar he builds is Owl City. Just like Owl City launched Adam out from where he was and took him to places he could have never imagined, the boxcar does the same for this boy.
The kid is Dead and his parents are still waiting for him . The Song is about a beach ( Umbrella Beach ) where people go after they die and the boy wants to get back to his parents :)
Adam/owlcity, you created poetic and strong music so strong that it has alot of nostalgic emotions. I'm glad God has given yoi this talent and I was able to here you sing. Keep on singing YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE WITH YOUR MUSIC😊❤❤❤❤
I always forget Umbrella Beach also got an official music video alongside Fireflies and Vanilla Twilight. This is one of my favourite songs-especially Long Lost Sun's remix.
All my thanks to owl city, ive just turned to 20 and lots of things go through so quickly and fade away but his song ties me here doesnt matter how old i get. You are amazing Owl City
@@ComLbsV Thank you for replying to my comment so many years later. I got to listen to this lovely song again. I have an OwlCity playlist, but somehow all those years back I must've forgotten to put this one in.
One of the most meaningful video & song of The Owl City, this inspired me a lot, I saw them Live at The Bowery Room, New York City in July 2012, great concert!!

now not all the music is great. but this sound yall had in this album. this was special, unique. i love fireflies, but my ex had this cd we listened to heavy. and it is just so upbeat and the voice works perfect with every song
At 1:54 I really like the music. I've always loved Owl City because they used a lot of techno sound effects, for lack of a better word. I really like that sound or genre in music. Like Fireflies" LOVE that one.
When I was 11 when Ocean Eyes came out, I put it on my iPod and would put the album on shuffle and listen to it through my pillow every night while going to sleep. It's still my all-time favorite album. When I listen to it it brings back memories of a really happy time in my life.
I love the song. Been listening to it since middle school. Adam helped me get through middle and high school as well as life. His videos are different than others and that's how unique it is. Something different and new that still lives on.
If you have good hand positioning, typing without looking at the keyboard is easy. Left pinky on A, LR on S, LM on D, LI on F, both thumbs on spacebar, RI on J, RM on K, RR on L and RP on semicolon. Move a single finger out of home row at a time to reach the other letters (left index down for V, right middle up for I, etc) Home row position makes typing way quicker and you don't have to look at your keyboard to use it. F and J have slight bumps on them on most keyboards, so you can easily find home row position by placing your index fingers on those two bumps.
As my music choices had changed from pop to some pretty neat bluesy John mayer stuff i would never forget coming back to Owl City since this is music i can never compare to anything out there in the mainstream and i still listen to this song even after 9 years has passed and i just happened to watch the Music video again since Umbrella Beach was one of those rare songs so memorable i never fail to forget to listen to this atleast once whenever i travel
Heh... I would sit on my roof it is just that people have trust issues with that, and I got kicked off my roof when I started throwing basketballs at people.
Zachary Lind To copy-paste another comment on this video: "The little kid is not committing suicide, he has made a boxcar with wings which will take him from one island, where he is stranded, to another island, where his mother is waiting in their home for him to return. Umbrella Beach is a surreal view of the story of The Prodigal Son.

'Home will always be here, unseen, out of sight'. These are his resonating thoughts, memoirs, of home, while he is away and on the run."
The kid is definitely not dead. This whole video is like metaphore, so you can't translate it with logic. I'm sure; judging by his friends' grin in the end, he flew and he did survive.
Alive, surviving yes, living no. I endured it all, Mother broken when learned truth. Mother Earth orphan ran away, looking for home, pieces of me being angry at the world soon as I can get in and out of the world soon as I can get in sooner on cancellation of what they all have to do with the pain suffering abuse trauma and I get the note that this way my door is a blessing in disguise for u too long ago that song is a blessing in my heart for everyone soul endured terror torture of what they all have to do with it..

14 Years Of Umbrella Beach 🦉🏖️♾️🎶 X..
Still my all time favourite Owl City song - very dreamy, I remember listening when I was younger. Dreaming of the ocean and this song(and many others) became my own place ‘to disappear and hide’
"Umbrella Beach"
Stems and gears, oh how the daisies bloom
When chandeliers light up the engine room
Can you feel the drops as it starts to rain
There's an underwater Ferris wheel
Where I found the missing link to this island chain
Home will always be here, unseen, outta sight
Where I disappear and hide
I think dreamy things as I'm waving goodbye
So I'll spread out my wings and fly
Home is a boxcar and it's so far out of reach
Hidden under umbrella beach
Home will always be here, unseen, outta sight
Where I disappear and hide
I think dreamy things as I'm waving goodbye
So I'll spread out my wings and fly
I'll spread my wings and fly
Home is a boxcar and it's so far out of reach
Hidden under umbrella beach
Damn I miss the old days! No problem just wearing may earphones and chill

Umbrella Beach
by Owl City
Songfacts®:
This is the first single released in the UK by Owl City, an Electronica/Pop project of Minnesota native Adam Young. A self-described "shy-kid," this song reflects Young's desire to escape in dreams and hide away from life's pressures.
Young explained to Female First: "'Umbrella Beach' is about a hermit living in a box car on the edge of the shoreline that corroded so badly, it wound up at the bottom of the bay. Rather than finding a new home, the hermit chooses to learn to scuba dive and now spends his days deep under the waves in his boxcar."
Hands down this is Adam Young's magnum opus... in either audio or visual... The whole package of Umbrella Beach just feels artistic!
The kid is chasing his dreams. The mom simply ponders at the distant city, meanwhile the dad cowardly observes it through his binoculars. Ahh this video unsettled me. I wish I could've understood this concept as a 15 year old. back when the video came out.
I think this is the best explanation of the video
you remind me of holden caulfield, I despise english and literature personally and am mainly exclusively interested in mathematics and science although you seem to value youth, and the many numerous beneficial qualities and attributes in which it is associated with and I certainly agree with that perspective. It resonated quite significantly with me, and was the only theme other than time stoping and everything remaining the same that remained with me after reading the book. Unless you have a career directly related to scientific, mathematics and engineering and are an adult the youth of the newest generation are the most intelligent, least ignorant RELATIVELY although that can be argued, eager, and willing to learn, and be productive for the fun, satisfaction and euphoria involved when compared with adults.

Why do i cry when i listen to this song
I have just become addicted to Owl CIty and I regret nothing. NOTHING. Also I typed this without looking at the keyboard :)
If you have good hand positioning, typing without looking at the keyboard is easy. Left pinky on A, LR on S, LM on D, LI on F, both thumbs on spacebar, RI on J, RM on K, RR on L and RP on semicolon. Move a single finger out of home row at a time to reach the other letters (left index down for V, right middle up for I, etc)
Home row position makes typing way quicker and you don't have to look at your keyboard to use it. F and J have slight bumps on them on most keyboards, so you can easily find home row position by placing your index fingers on those two bumps.

This song still gives me goosebumps 🥰
Me too
As my music choices had changed from pop to some pretty neat bluesy John mayer stuff i would never forget coming back to Owl City since this is music i can never compare to anything out there in the mainstream and i still listen to this song even after 9 years has passed and i just happened to watch the Music video again since Umbrella Beach was one of those rare songs so memorable i never fail to forget to listen to this atleast once whenever i travel
it's been 8 years and i am still here :")
This song is so awesome! The video tells it perfectly! Great job Owl City!
Home will always be here.

What kind of monster eats french fries with a fork
Normal people that don't want dirty/ greasy fingers...
+Ivan braginski The way I see it, she's depressed, and eats a cheap meal like it's a classy dinner, to feel better..
Purplefreak18100 but you're MEANT to eat chips with a fork....
+Ivan braginski Yeah, well, nunchucks were MEANT to be used as a farming tool!
+okami what. No.. The odd one or do chips are sometimes crispy if you fry them but then you just stab them more..
No one creates music like this no other than Owl City, and I freaking miss themm so freaking muchhh
good throwback
Still loving tf out of this song in 2020.
This is a 2009 masterpiece, still a great song to hear lately ✨
Adam was ahead of his time….truly
This is the most under rated song ever.
Did the kid die? Did the lady have suicidal thoughts? What the heck was the dude doing on the roof.
Zachary Lind i sit on my roof all the time bro. the real question is why havent you?
Heh... I would sit on my roof it is just that people have trust issues with that, and I got kicked off my roof when I started throwing basketballs at people.
Eric Knudsen Way to hit it out of the ball park champ!
Zachary Lind To copy-paste another comment on this video:
"The little kid is not committing suicide, he has made a boxcar with wings which will take him from one island, where he is stranded, to
another island, where his mother is waiting in their home for him to return. Umbrella Beach is a surreal view of the story of The Prodigal Son. The song is all about how the boy ran away from home, then realized what he had done, and at that, went to great lengths to undo the pain he had caused his mother and thus decided to return back to his home.
'Home will always be here, unseen, out of sight'.
These are his resonating thoughts, memoirs, of home, while he is away and on the run."
I LOVE YOU ADAM! AND BIBLE SHTUFFZ AGAIN!!!
The kid is definitely not dead. This whole video is like metaphore, so you can't translate it with logic. I'm sure; judging by his friends' grin in the end, he flew and he did survive.
Alive, surviving yes, living no. I endured it all, Mother broken when learned truth. Mother Earth orphan ran away, looking for home, pieces of me being angry at the world soon as I can get in and out of the world soon as I can get in sooner on cancellation of what they all have to do with the pain suffering abuse trauma and I get the note that this way my door is a blessing in disguise for u too long ago that song is a blessing in my heart for everyone soul endured terror torture of what they all have to do with it..
Stilly favourite Owl City track
Right😅
