I grew up with very strict religious parents I was never allowed to listen to any music other than Christian contemporary and hymns but when I was 11 my older sister smuggled me this album and after hearing this song I realized for the first time that you could express personal emotions about things through songs this was the first love song I ever heard and I've never been the same since I doubt Adam Young aka Owlcity will ever see this but thank you for writing this beautiful song 💙🦋
Not all music has to be ABOUT God specifically, but we Christians should listen to music that lines up with our values. Adam is a Christian and so all of his songs honor Him, so he's okay in my book. I used to listen to a Christian radio station called WayFM that played his music, so come with everyone else here and take your vacation in Owl City. :) (Also, if you want to get around your parent's rule, listen to Adam's versions of Come Thou Fount and How Deep The Father's Love For Us. Maybe if they're exposed to these, they'll let you listen to Adam's other music.)
oh hmm past controls the present which affects the future free to think for themselves but chained by the words of others and not by their own reality thoughts of others are echoed through the caves of their own throat and their head like having the stockholm syndrome still acknowledged but not esoteric rather segregated into one of them or different years of crusade war and strife forgotten in the present how does the past affect the present if it cant control the future projected through mortal eyes?
I once loved a girl who lived far away. We would talk and I would travel to see her. But she said things weren’t working for her and so I drove back home 20 hours through a snow storm. And I listened to this song over and over while I felt the emptiness in my heart that I had made room for her. Well I moved for school and found myself much closer to where she lived. I worked to forget her and find someone new. Then one morning I woke up to an email asking if I wanted to see her, but that she couldn’t promise things would be different. We just celebrated the 5 year anniversary of our marriage. Don’t worry, there is someone that will fill that room in your heart too.
This song always warms up my heart. In my darkest times, it reminds me that at one point, someone made me feel loved. And I’m already grateful for that.
"chills run down my spine" that smooth and sweet line as he sang it gracefully... i really love how he chooses his lyrics and emphasize it beautifully.. create more of this song Adam:D and sing along again with Ms. Breanne Duren:D
the kids of today will never know ... they just won't this was a moment in our lives that is unforgettable and so wonderful i miss the early to mid - 2000s waaaaahhh
Owl city was the thing that kept me going when i was younger. Been listening since sixth grade. That was 2010!! Im 19 now and this song still gets stuck in my head. My favorite shade is navy blue as well.
Wonky Bee wow that's exactly the same for me. 19 and Owl City really got me through some super difficult life stuff when I was in 6the grade. It's pretty insane that we have the same experience in that respect.
I love these kinds of love songs because their just soft and don't need a bunch of nasty stuff to get the idea through that the person singing the song is truly in love. You can just have a wholesome love song. That's not to common now a days. Not to say they don't exist (obviously this song exist) they can just be hard to find
I used to listen to this song almost everyday and specially loved watching this video. A while ago this video and other videos of this channel was not available on RU-vid for a long time for some reason. I'm glad its back
Ive been listening to this since im in elementary. Back then I just liked it for the tune. But as I continue to listen to it, it feels different as years go by. And now I just sit down and patiently feel the emotions as every words in this song plays and feel the goosebumps.. what im saying is its a very good song.. yup.
This song was released on the same night that I got a call from my sister that she's had a bad reaction to a vaccine, and this may be the last time we talk... the doctors in Germany were telling her that her body rejected it, and she may die very soon. I had no way to fly to her in time, I have never felt so useless, or like a worse brother. I couldn't do anything except cry and breathe. This song got me through that time. My sister is now home, and doing great, about to give birth to her first son, and I am so excited to be an Uncle. Sometimes, you never know how great life is going to be. Thank you Adam Young ♥
I love these type of lyrics videos. They are old but unique. Never seen a lyric videos like this, very cute and classic, just a bunch of words wrtitten in a paper combined into a video, what a creative way to make a lyric video :) It requires effort and it turns out well. I love these old lyric videos.
I feel clearly blessed every time I hear this amazing song by Owl City. God Bless you Adam. I love the music fading away towards the end of the song...chills run down my spine every time I listen to it :) Btw hsac4life I really enjoy watching your Owl City videos :)
I'm from 11years ago. I can't forget this song and all Adam Young albums. He is the nature of nostalgic music, smooth and has a big world of imagination. Missing those days..
a year ago i danced to this song with my wonderful husband as our first dance. it reminds me how lucky i am to have him because without him i would be lost. thank you for the beautiful video!
Flower "balm" perfume. Not "bomb". ;-) (Also, while the sewing needle is cute, the needle he's talking about is a compass needle. She's north, and so his compass needle is moving gracefully as she circles him.) Very cute. I really enjoyed the visuals (and obviously love the song, lol).
I would just like to say I think you did a good job with the video. It's creative, and a pleasant change of pace from the usual lyrics on a screen approach.
How do you live listening to it as your blowing up and tearing limbs from parasitic alien's and making sure they're dead by splattering their corpses with your very feet
I remember watching this video I’d say 10 years ago. This song and this video is so nostalgic and means even more now that I’m 23 and have a significant other❤
I actually cant believe your channel is still here, I loved these videos so much back then and being able to watch them again right now means so much, thank you!!!
I don't think it's his intent for EVERY song to sound like a God-loving song, but it shows up a lot (he's devout IRL). This, on the other hand, I think it just a normal love song.
If every Owl City song can be related to God, so can every pure song. Owl City has pure music, so sex, drugs... and not all of it has to do with God, but since God is pure, and his music is, you are gonna be able to streach any of his songs, some that were meant to be, some that weren't. What about Fuzzy Blue lights? Imo that would just be weird and more childish than he seems to be "If I were in a sad art gallery?" Or On The Wing. He talks as if he is the one leading the other person, even calls them darling.
Good question +Master Querty it sounds like a lovely line. I think maybe it means that no matter what happens his heart/deep feelings will always be towards that person above all else, absolute like how that point on a compass will always naturally point north again.
What I read before is that when ever you got lost, just go and always follow north in the compass. So I think, this means that "my heart(compass) will always follow you(north)".
