Lyrics:
My mother watched the fireworks
From her hospital bed
And after it was all over
She held me for the first time
On the 5th
And deep in Iowa country
In a Heavenly Hideaway
On the shores of Lake Rathbun
My folks brought me home
Oo on the 5th
Oo of July
Oo on the 5th
A teacher and a mechanic
Brought me into this world
And they’ve loved me with all their hearts
Since the day I opened my eyes
So I’d do well
To tell myself
To slow down
And tell my folks I love ‘em
With all of my heart
‘Cause someday
The Lord is gonna call them home
And someday they’ll be gone
So slow down
And tell your folks you love ‘em
With all of your heart
‘Cause someday
The Lord is gonna call them home
And someday they’ll be gone
‘Cause we all live
Just one life
And mine began
Late that night
Oo on the 5th
Oo of July
Oo on the 5th
Oo of July
Oh on the 5th
Oh of July
Oh on the 5th

Recently I have been a real jerk to my parents and ungrateful for everything they have done for me. This song made me realize how much they have done for me and how much they mean to me, and I now appreciate them so much more and I will make sure to never forget to tell them I love them. This is why I love Adam's music, it is so meaningful and moving and it helps me so much. Whenever I am feeling down I listen to his music and can't help smiling. I can not express in words fully how thankful I am for Adam's music.

@sailplanepilot1562 6 лет назад

BreBreGaming I've been there all too many times, nevertheless, we all need take time to appreciate everything our family and friends do for us and tell them you love them, because I also know all too well what its like for someone that you never fully took the time to cherish and tell them thanks or I love you, and then just like that their gone all too fast. Oh no I'm crying now. Yep

@Hawkshadow56 6 лет назад

Honestly I don't think he's underrated, I think that he's appreciated for the wrong reasons. His music is massively creative, and all that he gets ratings for is his techno-dance-pop music and catchy hooks. It's dumb. Songs like The Real World, Plant Life, Technicolor Phase, and The Tip of the Iceberg have unending creativity and inspiration behind them. It's a weird niche, but it's a great one.

@RockIt26 6 лет назад

At first, I assumed it would be acoustic version of the song and the lyrics would be the similar. Adam does a little different with this one. Oh how ironic the 'little' sounds right now. The words he sang are heavy even any human would be reluctant to voice out. I couldn't understands how he able to made this without shed a tear. I frankly felt heavy sentiment and cries as seem I seldom and longed for due to struggle of life. I am truly grateful in able to listen to your song, Adam

@shadabaiman2004 6 лет назад

he's an expressionless robot.... with a mastermind

@ODiS33 6 лет назад

No, he's a man of emotions, and all the more, care and love.

@logiju1 6 лет назад

He probably cried. He just recorded it when he wasn't crying lol.

@ads1035 6 лет назад

He almost did cry. You can hear his voice break a couple times during the 2nd verse, around 1:59

@meghna309 6 лет назад

How on the earth do you know that he hadn't shed a single tear while he wrote or performed this? Don't write such ignorant things behind the screen for such an incredible artist. He probably would have cried a lot. The lyrics are too sentimental not to get emotional with. After all he wrote them himself. It's just that he was a braveheart that he was able to perform it in one go. And in that too, you can realize at various places his voice cracked due to the overwhelming sentiment he was going through with. Though I'm late I'd like you to edit your comment ASAP.

@DackJaniels_ 6 лет назад

I started listening to him when i was 12. I'm 22 now and I still get emotional with every one of his songs. Keep doing what you're doing Adam! You're making our worlds a better place

@danielbauwens 6 лет назад

Dack Janiels Your first sentence is highly debatable.

@theartof2ndplace237 4 года назад

Owl City's first album was The Punisher, released in 2004. He could very well have become a fan of Owl City's music at 12 years old.

@mgmmayer 6 лет назад

I just love every song you create Adam, some are childish, some are deep, some are lessons, some are about your personal life and loved ones, and some are about your faith. Each one is so honest and so pure, you can easily feel identified with lyrics that being so simple make you feel so much. That's why I love your music, it is what you actually want it to be and that makes it astonishingly wonderful!

@riturajbaruah139 2 года назад

@jadekaibap 6 лет назад

The other version made me shed a tear but gosh this one brought on the flood. T-T Simply beautiful. Certainly makes me want to run and hug my parents and tell them I love them while I still have the chance. I know all too well that one day they'll be gone. I don't think I'll ever be ready for it but I hope they at least know I love them. We owe our parents everything.

@krayedon 6 лет назад

I almost cried...thank you for this Adam. Always remember that if your parents didn't love you, they wouldn't've made you. And even if those parents of yours aren't biologically related, they wouldn't've adopted you if they didn't love you.

@Autumn-hh4do 6 лет назад

Dear Adam, You are such an inspiration to me in so many ways, and I am very thankful that God has put you and your music in my life. I am truly blessed by you. Your words and music have enlightened my heart in times of grieving, and helped me look at life in a brighter, more optimistic perspective, and you continue to encourage and remind me to draw near to the Lord in all aspects of life, as well as reminding me to stay true to myself. You have shown yourself to be a man of faith and courage by following where Jesus leads, and by simply being you! July 5th, of 1986~the day you were welcomed into this world~is sincerely such an important day to me, as I know that it is to many, many others. You have blessed so many lives, and I pray that God blesses you the same! I love&appreciate you so much, AY!❤❤❤ ~Autumn~

Such a personal get relatable song. I really like your new take on music, Adam, thanks for sharing your experiences with us. :)

@theartof2ndplace237 4 года назад

This version of the 5th of July really connects with me. My Grandpa, who is now in the presence of Jesus in Heaven, suffered a major heart attack late on the 4th of July. On the 5th of July, we (his entire family) gathered around his bed and shared with him what we loved about him the most (he was in a coma). On the 6th of July, we sang him to Heaven where he'll never be heartbroken again. Thank God we DID take advantage of the many opportunities we had to tell him how much we loved him, and how much he means to us. He knew that he was loved, not just by us, but by his Father. Every life is precious! I encourage all to take time out of your day to let your family know that you love them. Those words are simple to say, but they carry a LOT of meaning!

@spectacularlysentimental 4 года назад

It's so cool how he can make a whole song about his birthday. It's amazing! I love Owl City because of this and also because of songs like this which are full of meaning and make me smile. We really need to slow down and tell our folks we love them before it's too late.

@NorthernOwl838 6 лет назад

Wow, this is so beautiful and I didn't expect it to be released so early :) For me, it's unbelievable that only Adam's voice and the piano are enough to make such a masterpiece. Again, I'm so moved by the lyrics and I wish this song would appear on "Cinematic". Perfect work of Adam as always. Greetings from a Polish Hootowl ;)
