Bonus track: Owl City - All Things Bright and Beautiful Japan edition
Lyrics:
Light Up The Sky, Shy Violet Angel Eyes.
She Dried My Eyes And Drifted Off While Every Tear Was Held Aloft.
The Heavy Rain Clouds Felt Terrible
'Cause She Turned My Stormy Sky Beautiful
Owl City - Shy Violet

Adam is the man who pulled me into the world of music. Before that point, music was just background noise on a radio or movie.

There are some artists that overtime I forget about and then don't listen to as much as I used to, but I will always listen to Owl City! I don't care what anyone says, every single one of his songs are the best!

Same here. I’ve been listening to his music since 2014 and it never gets old

@IntraDimensionalCrafter 6 ай бұрын

Exactly! When I was a teenager, my youth group leader asked me why i liked his music so much. I responded "because there really isn't anything else like it". She told me there was and then showed me a song: It was really good so I asked her what it was/what the band was. It was a Swimming With Dolphins song 😂😂 To this day, my love of Adam's music far surpasses my love for anyone else's

This song. No matter how many times I listen to it, no matter where I am, no matter what i'm doing. When he sings 'she makes me stormy sky beautiful' everything around me just seems to slow down and for that brief moment I look up at the sky and think of the girl I love. And it makes my stormy sky beautiful.

That's what I needed to know. Love is the stormy sky that just stays beautiful. I thought I was supposed to say or spell his name right but it doesn't really matter ultimately!

@teqqqie8991 Жыл бұрын

I realized why Owl City songs hit so hard and cut so deep, even when the lyrics are whimsical or nonsensical; Adam somehow manages to craft songs that evoke emotions that are really difficult or impossible to describe with plain words. The words might not make sense, but they make you feel very specific emotions with the images they put in your head.

That's sweet. Having my own mild disability, I know what you mean when you say that Adam's songs give hope. It's just a gift he has. His songs mean a lot to those who have their own unique situations to deal with... at least that's how I see it. They certainly help me deal with what I have to go through. And because of that, I will forever love Adam.... he's such a dreamer and a great friend to all his fans.

Dreams and Disasters definitely was influenced by this, but most likely accidentally. I don't think Adam would try to reuse an old melody, though he might have because this was a bonus track.

@KennM12 9 жыл бұрын

Jeremy MacDonald i think he's pretty comfortable with recycling ideas. the verses in Tokyo are almost identical to Good Time. and he also mentioned using subtle parts of Good Time for Wolf Bite. Personally, I don't mind it, if it's subtle. but Good Time and Tokyo were just way too similar to ignore.

@SpicePrincess1890 8 жыл бұрын

+Jeremy MacDonald lol Adam is super comfortable with reusing old melodies, instrumental parts, even phrases in lyrics. Reduce, recycle, reuse xD Most times he does it on purpose and wants to give new life to some element of a song that he loves, and sometimes it's just subconscious because he is a one-man bad after all.

((Which fits him, cause REM is the state you go into when you start dreaming~ And I bet that's where he gets the titles for most of his songs. His dreams~))
