This song has helped me so much with stress and depression. I sang it while my mom played her guitar at a Cancer Hospital in Dublin and alll the kids were so happy. One of them got to hear a happy song before he went, because he died an hour later from his cancer. My best friend also has cancer and I sang it to her and the look of joy on her face made me realise that Owl City had spread hope to kids with cancer via one song. Thank you Owl City for making my best friend's final day the best.
my ex girlfriend died of lung cancer, nice to know others are pushing through and not suffering the same depressing world she went through, i wish you good luck friend
I always come to Owl City when I'm sad. Their songs always gives me a warm feeling inside and a voice that's saying, "you're special." I instantly cheer up when I hear the first few lyrics, and it brings tears of joy to my eyes. Owl City, you make my life special and you always take me out of my misery.. thank you.
this song's energy held up incredibly well in its now nearly 15 years of existence. remember singing it word for word in 2009. Owl City is now a modern classic
When I first heard this song, I cried my eyes out for hours, then I finally got the message, and it felt like an invitation to live in Owl City, where one is never alone
I think you did a great job making this vid. Most people cut off the lyric before it ends or has it all flashy and cant read it.... I think its one of the best lyrics vids out there.
He has lucid dreaming, and insomnia. In english, he has a hard time falling asleep, but when he does he has very vivid and realistic dreams, and can exert some control over them . Alot of these dreams are inspiration for his songs.
Adam has such a soft, smooth voice. It's so calming to listen to him. :) And he has a lot of happy, positive songs, which beat depressing music any day.
Owl City's music always makes me feel like a little kid again either driving around on a really nice summer day or in the winter. So relaxing and fresh.
this song means everything to me . I lost my best friend Alex C. I will need forget you 12. 21.10 . you were my best friend and always there for me . you showed me this band and this first song you showed me and I always hold it dearly to me. you told me before we lost each other was " be strong because I can't always be there for you " . those words never left me Alex . I miss you buddy more than anything:(

This is definately one of my favorite Owl City songs ever! I still don't understand it, but it makes me so content, so it's okay. It's as though my pain has been washed away in a river of music and joy.
♫When its night, and I have to sleep♫ ♫I listen to Owl city, and try to figure what out the lyrics mean~♫ ♫It's futile though, I'll never figure out before my eyelids get heavy, and I drift away♫ ♫Oh well, I guess I'll never know~♫
@bigpurplebug1 i almost cried when i read this. it is so beautiful. the world needs more imaganitive people like u, supporting childrens dreams. to cut this comment short, that is really a beautiful thing u did here.. thumbs up if u love owl city, and what this person said. I
Same. I think he's said before that The Midsummer Station (the album with Good Time and my least favourite album because it's pretty much the same as Good Time, maybe a little bit better) was basically an experiment to see if he could 'put magic into a pop song' or something so I'm still hoping he realises this isn't working and goes back to this stuff. Still, I suppose all artists have to grow and at least he's getting the recognition he deserves now.
Everyone says how their songs don't make sense.. I believe the point of them is for your own personal view lyrics. One person may think one thing of what it means, another person, another opinion. I also love how it may not make too much sense sometimes. :) makes them unique
