Absolutely!! I’ve been listening to him for 12 years and he’s literally a musical story of my life, any point in my life that’s been drastic, I go to his music! Inspired me to do music when I was 10, and have been doing it ever since!!
The thing I love the most about you is your authenticity. Your songs always sound so personal, creative, and spontaneous. To top it all, the sense of humour - singing about a vacation in Hawaii while walking in the snow and carrying a frozen lemonade. This world is a bit better because you exist in it, Adam!
Beautiful melody, powerful vocal cord, inspiring, and comical. The man, the myth, and the legend has returned with new magnificent music for us all to listen to. Thank you so much, Adam Young. You're a diamond, Brother. God bless you forever!
Adam reappearing in a music video, inspiring, with good and simple vibes, striking and quite upbeat music just as he has always been, we really missed him and needed him back, a star that despite the years continues to maintain his essence, _it's always a good time._ ✨
11 years and he still looks as good as he did in Shooting Star. 15 years and he still sounds as magical as he did in Fireflies. Never stop making music Adam. No matter how loud the haters get, sing louder than them. P.S. Love your music down to my core! 😁👍😁👍
@@219willbegfor I know Breanne, but it wasn’t her. You must’ve googled my question, by which Google gave you the wrong answer. The album info says “Colby McCallister” did the additional vocals, but I don’t know who that is.
Finally we can see adams face again. A beautiful man with a beautiful voice and a beautiful soul. I hope the whole world will find out you are back and hear you through the radio once again
I started listening to owl city when I was 9 years old. I'm 21 now and even though my music taste has changed a ton over the years, Adam still never fails to make me smile no matter what life's throwing at me. I completely adore his music :)
His last music video was over half a decade ago......so overjoyed to see another one finally. This song is pure unfiltered JOY and I just can't get enough of it! Coco Moon is going to be INCREDIBLE!!!!
Remember how reserved Adam was in his “Fireflies” music video? Now look at this man! It’s amazing to see how much he’s transformed over the years and how he just comes alive in this. Truly this is someone who’s doing what God made him to do.
He has a similar tone in songs like Angels and Kamikaze from All things Bright and Beautiful, but all of these are just the proof that any tone fits to Adam perfectly :)
He can sing, he can rock the guitar, he can play drums, he can play xylophone, he can play piano and he is perfect at electronics, synthwave and what not. Born to be a Music Star
@@QUBIQUBED Yes I can't become famous because I was not born to be a music star. He was born to be one. He is a creative mastermind, he doesn't just play these instruments for the sake of playing, he can actively make them all sound so good.
Ugh. Seeing this feels nostalgic. The metaphor of snow field and thinking about summer vacation is just too good. This makes it more amazing comeback. Thanks Owl City for still serving us feel good songs.
I didnt realize i smiled the whole time and when the video ended, i looked at my silly smile reflecting on the black screen. You make us happy Owl City
This song definitely has some "Galaxies" flavour to it, which is good because I love that song. Also I'm glad Owl City is back in classic Owl City fashion! Feels like the 2010s again 😁
Dear God I was terribly lost when the galaxies crossed and the sun went dark, but dear God your the only north star i would follow this far, oh telescope keep an eye on my only hope, lest i blink and get swept off the narrow road, Hercules you got nothing to say to me cause your not the blinding light that I need, for He is the saving grace of the galaxies, He is the saving grace of the galaxies, Dear God I was terribly lost when the galaxies crossed and the sun went dark, but dear God your the only North Star I would follow this far…. 🤍🪐✨
14 yrs after Fireflies... this is probably Adam's best song... Such a great pop-rock song with Owl City signature sound! SOOOOOOO gooood! amazing lyrics (like "'Cause when I get kinda salty, I need some vitamin sea") So catchy!!!
Developed a good taste of music since middle school from Adam's music. And now I graduated from a university. It's happy to hear that nostalgic voice and melody again.❤
Same! This is exactly the type of music I loved in middle school (HeyHiHello and eleventyseven were also kinda similar), and it's good to see this type of silly music video with a catchy song again!
The winter clothing with a frozen drink in the thumbnail is such a vibe. People would think I was crazy for drinking hot chocolate AND eating ice cream outside in the winter. 😂 This music video is gonna be GREAT!
Yep! He did in the cinematic videos. He was singing about himself and his experiences but had a different actor act as himself and he just made cameos. Was kinda weird but still fun! I think we’re all glad he’s back to being the MC in the vids tho
@@tomorrowtonight6534 He’s either the main star, or he’ll appear as an “Easter egg” or background character. In the Umbrella Beach music video you can see a pic of Adam on their table, and in All My Friends he walks up with Abbey and gives the main kid money, being more of a side character in those last 2
Hey Adam, I've been a fan since your Of June album, and I've listened to your music growing up. You make great music that makes me feel stuff. It moves me. And for that I'm thankful. Huge fan
I absolutely LOVE this MV. This is probably the most I've seen Adam act like himself in one of his music videos and it seems to be reflection of how truly his music reflects his own personality.
Hes even like this on stage now. Going from seeing the early birdie video and the old tour videos to seeing this video and the coco moon tour, you can tell he has grown to be so unapologetically himself and i couldn't be happier for him.
Something I love about certain Owl City songs is a melancholy topic paired with happy sounding music, because I can sing along about my blues while getting cheered up. When Vitamin Sea came out, I was like "Ugh, now I'm jealous and want to go to a beach!" BUT this music video totally changes everything! The angst, the irony, the melancholy, the cheery music, and the JOY of smile singing and kick/dancing in the snow! GAH this music video is masterful! And each shot is deeply thought out and beautifully edited. (Also, can we appreciate that he lugged the keytar into a frozen field and played it with such gusto?!) * chef's kiss *
This is such a fun song with an equally fun MV! I've never been present for an Owl City MV premiere before, even though I've been a fan for around ten years, so this is so exciting-what a song to mark the occasion! I'm loving all the music you're releasing lately, Adam-thank you for blessing our ears with it and adding a fun, whimsical MV to boot! God bless you! 💖💖💖💖💖💖
I just admire the boldness and the unabashed honesty and authenticity--not only in the lyrics of all his songs, but also in this video. The irony of a Hawaii vacation song being set in a Minnesotan winter, sheer genius. Always stay unique, spontaneous, and true to the self! P.S. it's so great to see him back in a music video after so long. 😍
This video reminds me of a simpler and quite happy time in my life. I’m not unhappy in the slightest now, but there was a sense of childish joy that I don’t have anymore, so thank you very much for that slice of nostalgia.
The fact we get to enjoy this type of music in this day and age and It doesn’t have to be repeats of old things. New and fresh and the same all the same. Love y’a Guy, I’ll rock with whatever u create
It never took off because it’s sounds like a Disney channel singalong for middle schoolers. The only place I’ve ever hear it in the wild is in the children’s boardwalk section at Cedar Point lmao.
Oh my gosh! This is actually the first time seeing a Premiere of an Owl City song/music video! Great to see him releasing some new music again after less than 5 years! I remembered loving his music before back like 8 years ago! I feel lucky to be in the chat here too! :D
im so glad he's still making such magical and great music! going through memory lane and visiting old nostalgic songs, and u can't talk about childhood without including owl city
I think highly of Hawaii I got a cheap flight and a plan So heads up, Nancy, don't get antsy While I'm working on my tan 'Cause it's crystal clear to me A weekend in Waikiki is what I need Yeah, I could use a sip of island serenity 'Cause when I need a vacation I need some vitamin sea Aloha, let the good tides roll Aloha and mahalo When I walk on the beach I never wanna leave 'Cause when I get kinda salty I need some vitamin sea Yeah, I gotta go now 'Cause I'm a little worn down And I'm a little burned out And I need a vacation Aloha, let the good tides roll 'Cause when I get kinda salty I need some vitamin sea Do-do-do, ooh-ooh Sitting calmly by a palm tree With a lemonade in my hand I ain't concerned if I sunburn I'll catch all the rays I can 'Cause when my gusto gets low Then that's when I know I have a tropical deficiency And a little sand between my toes is the remedy 'Cause when I need a vacation I need some vitamin sea Aloha, let the good tides roll Aloha and mahalo When I walk on the beach I never wanna leave 'Cause when I get kinda salty I need some vitamin sea Yeah, I gotta go now 'Cause I'm a little worn down And I'm a little burned out And I need a vacation Aloha, let the good tides roll 'Cause when I get kinda salty I need some vitamin sea So BRB I've gone coastal 'Cause when I feel a bit blue I head for Honolulu And I am happy as a clam Do-do-do, ooh-ooh So I'll put up my feet and tell all my troubles to the ocean breeze 'Cause sitting on a beach is cheaper than therapy And when I need a vacation I think you'll know where I'll be Aloha, let the good tides roll Yeah, the voice of the ocean, it speaks to my soul And where my worries went Well, I guess I don't know So let the good tides roll Yeah, I gotta go now 'Cause I'm a little worn down And I'm a little burned out And I need a vacation Aloha, let the good tides roll Aloha, let's go 'Cause when I get kinda salty I need some vitamin sea Yeah (I need a vacation) I need some vitamin sea (I need a vacation) Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da I'm on vacation Da-da-da-da-da-da-da da And I think I'm gonna stay forever Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da Yeah, I'm on vacation Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da And I think I'm gonna stay forever
Goddam ive missed you! I listened to Fireflies and immediately thought, "wtf happened to Owl City? He disappeared from my radar after Ocean Eyes, then came back for Wreck It Ralph and disappeared again, then what?" I them came to RU-vid to see whats going on, and this banger immediately made the cut for my playlist. Gonna go listen to your other songs now!
Adam!!! Oh my gosh!.. I can hardly find the words. There is a deep spiritual river flowing through Owl City. Lyrics that go so much deeper in gratitude then they first appear to be. This is a talent and gift from a child of God that is by far greater then the surface allows us to see. Unmeasurable thanks for the overwhelming energy you bring to life itself and all of us who are blessed to partake! There is a phrase we don't say enough on this planet for fear of it being taken wrong but it could really help. Sincerely Adam you change our hearts I Love You!
So I heard this song and several others from Coco Moon being played at the Wild Adventures theme park in Georgia. Was pretty cool hearing the music in public. I might have been the only one that knew all the songs. But yea they played four or five of them while I was there.
The familiar sound of Adam's music gives me that warm fuzzy feeling inside. A new release like this, that sounds like it could easily belong on one of his older albums, both takes me back to my childhood and makes me feel some hope for the times we're living in. Thank you
0:58 3:26 4:20 My favourite parts 0:58 I just love how the voice changes, and how he/the female says “Cuz I’m a little worn down”, idk what it is but i really like that part. 3:26 do i need to make this any more obvious? 4:20 Very nostalgic and happy sounding.
AWESOME!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Been an Owl City fan from the beginning! And the good vibes from this song about the good tides!! Love this! Always connected with your songs (maybe bc you and I both born the same year? lol) Owl City songs are so universal. Got a hit here bro! YES! #VitaminSea
I love these new songs. Been listening to it over and over the past year. Been listening to your projects since you put up your sky sailing and owl city pseudonyms on Thesixtyone. Hello Seattle days! This feels like such a classic. I love your ultra happy upbeat music and hope you have a great 2024 knowing your archive is still inspiring smiles across the world. Thanks Adam! Love, JB
It's crazy how one man can be so talented in not even writing the lyrics and the music, but also playing all the instruments perfectly by himself. Not a single day passes by that I don't enjoy his music, in whatever mood I'm in. Even after all these years, you never fail to amaze me. Thank you for being such a bright light.
Some people are gifted. Even I'm not from musical background but I learned everything all alone. But songwriting skill was already inside me. It's gifted to me I think! I do write, compose, arranged and mix-master all alone. But as an artist it's good to have a team.
hello Adam, 👋 your music still resounds to my heart as deep as you did when i first heard Vanilla Twilight and the rest of your compositions. you might not read this but THANK YOU SO MUCH, you have been giving me the strength to believe over again and again in the goodness that is within me and within everyone! God bless you!
Trust me when I say there are hundreds of artists out there that make songs without sex, insult, money, or depression. You just gotta look far and wide cause not many are very popular.
@@littlelink3462 I know a lot actually, since I'm working with a lot of them! still it's amazing to see a huge artist like Owl City sticking to the good vibes 💛
this is going to make my brain sky rocket to maximum happiness for as long as i live like the creativity and fun of his songs/music videos is unmatched
Love the new song. Man if you see this. I woke up on December 5th to my fiance of 10 months passed away. "Our song" was If my heart was a house. Knew each other ersince '97. I just want thank ya for that. Made her smile.
Man this is just so feel good. Just makes me smile when I hear this new era of Adam. Can't wait for the album release and the keytar solo when he starts touring

I was just dancing and sweating as I was jamming to this song, and I have not felt this more upbeat and alive for as very long as I can think of, Owl City is the light in my soul, and I'm very thankful he's come back while I've been in my darkest moments, Thank you so much for this Owl City.. ^^ 🏙 🌨
I'm from the UK and flying all the way out for my first ever trip to the US to see Owl City ♥ as soon as I heard about the tour I just had to book to go and I am so incredibly excited!
