Owl city is the reason my childhood had more meaning than I could ever find myself. I love Adam Young. Thank you sir for providing originality and joy. We all thank you!
This song is so simple it FEELS like a campfire song. That’s why I wasn’t a huge fan of it at first. But after a couple more listens I realized that’s the beauty of the song
I honestly wasn’t incredibly fond of the sound of this song when it was first released, but hearing Adam talk about his personal connection to the story of this album made me hear it in a different way. Now that this video is out, it means even more, and the song has definitely grown on me. I’m super excited for the continuation of this story in the coming videos and for every story we’ll hear in the coming album.
Last year I prayed for God to send me at least one friend. My family moved so much I always ended up losing my friends---I was so lonely. God sent me not one but several friends, I'm so thankful to have them. ❤️
@@dogsteve there's no need to be mean. They believe something different than you and are thankful something good happened in their life so don't be a jerk. (And for the record I am not a Christian, just someone who wants people to get along)
I'm so glad this ended on a "to be continued" note. I love the music Adam makes. While his latest album (cinematic) isn't my favorite, it still brings a smile to my face and is deeply encouraging to me. And God knows, there isn't enough of that to go around these days.
He was listening to Fireflies at beginning & Afterwards he met Owlcity ....But he didn't recognize legend as many people in world !😂 Only know Fireflies but doesn't know who Owlcity is !💥 #legend Can't wait for Cinematic🖤
In fact, it' true. He has a unique pronunciation of "all", it sounds like something between "all" and "owl".Maybe it's his MN accent, or maybe it's just his vocals.
To everybody who is insulting this song and calling it 'awful', remember that his new music is something he makes since he's a lot older because his life has changed. He is making music for his own personal project. If you forget that, on most Owl City CDs it says Owl City is a project. So if you don't enjoy his music, don't dis what he holds personal to him. He's changed in the way we all do. We all grow into different kinds of people someday and to expect Adam to be making the same style of music as in Maybe I'm Dreaming or Ocean Eyes isn't fair. One of the things I love most about Owl City is that he doesn't make songs for sake of only making songs. He makes them for fun or for story telling or for writing personal content that he braves out to show the world. I don't view Adam as a machine that is suppose to make music similar to his older style. I enjoy Adam because he is a jack of all trades. He makes whatever kind of music he chooses to. That's the beauty of it all. Is that he's more than an album cover. He's a real human being with heart and soul. He never made music to become famous he made music because he enjoys it and used it as an escape. I understand that it can be hard to transition from the style we once loved when we were younger. To know that the happy times of songs like Bird and The Worm, Fireflies,Galaxies, ect isn't exactly always going to stay around can be tough. For some, it reminds them of being younger. But as time passed and Adam matured more, so did his songs. Even if you view this song as 'terrible' it's mature in the fashion that Adam went out and took a jump into a new style. Can you blame somebody for doing so? It's a scary leap to veer, but he did so. I for one enjoy this song and I have no other expectations than to hear the story from album to album of what brings this man joy in a world so dull and gray. Owl City is what he wants it to be and to me that's perfect in it's own way. Remember that. (I apologize if any of this is incorrect or against anything to any of y'all.)
just because someone tries out a new music style doesn't mean it's free from any form of criticism, why are there so many comments like this?? like it's a cute song but (personally i think) it's mediocre, that doesn't mean i think adam is mediocre it's just a bad song. i think people are mostly just excited because he's released new music, i like fiji water though
k That’s not what I mean. I believe music isn’t free from criticism. But I’ve seen various videos just blatantly insulting Adam Young for trying new music and insulting his new voice and calling him a wanna be country person. (Even though he lives in a fairly small town so he’s not a wannabe.) I’m not saying this is the greatest song in the world. There is a difference between criticism and insulting. This comment is directed towards those who are insulting rather than pointing out real criticism.
So if i'm correct, all the music videos from the album Cinematic would be linked together and if played in chronological order, it will all be like a Movie.
I wasn’t much of a fan of this song when it first came out, but i did end up liking the alt version a lot. Recently, though, I’ve come to appreciate this version a lot more.
When you search owl City you just see all these negative things. Like when I searched on google owl City cinematic I saw like, "is there hope for it?" They're such haters
This kind of music video is the best, I love when it makes an actual story with different songs! Can't wait to see the other parts! I love Adam's cameo and the bit when he's cleaning and listening to fireflies
So this was filmed at the high school I went to. I went there at the time this was filmed and in the background on one of the whiteboards, you can see what we called our "band meme" whiteboard where we drew pictures making fun of our music teachers. Glad to see that our art has been passively viewed by over 1 million people.
Hey guys check out the previews for Owl City's new album Cinematic, the classic Ocean Eyes and Sky Sailing sound has returned!!!! ruclips.net/video/j4lg2ten6vs/видео.html
You know what? I first felt nothing about this song, until I went to the concert in Tokyo (wow good memories). It fit perfectly with the atmosphere there,. It was such a great end with this song in that concert.
Its kinda like the boy starring in the clip is the Adam from the past and the present Adam is saying goodbye to him by giving him some money...And also the Fireflies at the start... Is it only me who accociate on this?
People saying this isn’t him obviously don’t pay attention. This is literally a classic Owl City song, with the lyrics and everything it just screams it. Just because it’s not electronic doesn’t mean it’s not Owl City.
Did anyone Realize In the beginning He was listening to fireflies Edit: Holy crap I forgot that I ever commented in this video thanks for the likes I’ve never had this much🤩
The only reason people are hearing this is because they heard fireflies and looked further into this channel and were like "hmm... Let's listen to that"
I don't know if it's only me but the guy in this video is so cute!!! Especially when he smiles, he has such a beautiful smile and not only that but even when he's dancing at the beginning of the video he just looks so into it and I feel like dancing along with him. I think he fits so well with the music and in the video. I just thought I'd let y'all know.
1. Because, sadly, Owl City's a one-hit wonder pretty much 2. This song isn't very good. It's just mediocre 2004 sounding country pop punk with no edge. 3. The song already came out some time ago

I found myself writing about the magic of life…the amazing people I’ve met and the places that I’ve seen. I’m so proud to announce that those songs will make up my new 18 track album that will be released on June 1st, 2018. The album will be titled “Cinematic” because just like the movies, life if full of magic. I know June 1st, 2018 is a long time to wait for the new album, so between now and then I’ll be releasing three Reels (or EPs) featuring three songs each! Starting this Friday, you can pre-order the album everywhere and receive a download of each Reel instantly as they come out!

Maybe if people would listen to more than 30 seconds of this song before they decide they don't like it, they'd actually find it catchy like I do. I think this is the kind of song you have to give a chance and listen to it a few times before you can appreciate it. When I first listened to this, I wasn't crazy about it, but I most definitely did not hate it. After more listening to this song, it's really grown on me. Very very catchy. I think this generation is WAY too close minded. They immediately decide they hate something before even giving it a chance. Whether they listened to the song or not. I've seen people say they hate this song just based on some assholes review of it. Just 'cause some asshole bashed a song, that doesn't mean you have to agree with them... I mean can no one think for themselves anymore?
As a big fan of Owl City, I've listened to this song probably 5 times. It's worst thing he's ever created, and it pains me to even bother hearing him lazily rap corny lyrics while teenage girls sing along in the background. In comparison to any song on All Things Bright and Beautiful, this is just pathetic.
You don't even find the chorus catchy? All I hear that people hate it seems is the beginning with the "rapping". What about when it picks up at 1:05 to the chorus? You don't even like that?
It's good if he wants it to be the theme song of another Disney TV show about friendship... and in comparison to many other choruses, this one is lyrically weak and not impressive. I rated this a 3/10, and gave Lucid Dream an 8/10.
That's fine if you genuinely don't like this song, but please don't leave hurtful comments under his videos like this. If you're as big of a fan as you say you are, then you should always support Adam and his music without judging him so harshly. You won't turn on him the minute he makes a song you don't like. You wait for the next one to see if it's more to your liking. How would you feel if someone called your song, "Worst song of the year." Or "A pathetic train wreck" ? These are things I've heard others say, but you get the idea. When I'm not crazy about a song, I don't try and think of hurtful ways to say how much I hate it while comparing it to other songs of his. That's just unnecessary. If you feel you must comment something negative, at least make it constructive criticism. Anyone who turns on one of their favorite artists the minute they make something that is not to their liking, do not look like true fans in my eyes...
Being new to OwlCity, I find this good? I've heard Fireflies and Shooting Star, but this gives me a certain charm? Like a childhood song but better. It still stands as a song just as good as the others to me.
My wife and I have enjoyed many of your songs. This didn't happen to be one of them. It does seem to appeal to thousands (likely millions) of other people, so great job writing something to which people relate. My wife says this is the only one of your songs she's ever not enjoyed. You're wonderful, and we love you as an artist. Please, make more music forever.
Of course it is a personal thing but i really can not understand why many disliked this song. Maybe it is not Adam's style but it is definitely such a good song in my opinion. Let him try new things... But still everything he does is gold to me. Thanks Adam.
Ryu the Human Would have been nice if a clever one were released first, but don't think all the songs have to be clever. Nice to have a feel good song.
Are there a lot of songs out there about friendship, at least right now? If not then how can it be a platitude/cliche? While it might not be the deepest most complex theme (or lyrics) in the world, it's far from empty. Encouraging people to be true and support one another and let your relationship be a light for other people to be encouraged by- only apply those themes to friendship. And put it to catchy upbeat music (have to listen to it a few times for that I admit) and you have yourself a feel good song, perhaps a tiny bit corny but I like corny from time to time myself. Understand if other people don't, I didn't at first and still don't care for some aspects of it.
This will be the third album in a row full of contrived, uninspired, 'whoa-oa' choruses from Adam. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Owl City fan - those early albums were my whole life for a while. But this new music hasn't connected in anything close to the same way. From both an emotional and objective point of view his new music isn't nearly as poetic or original as it used to be.
The moment that Adam gave him a money and smile, I don't know why my eyes wet. It's like he's looking at me for real and saying, 'keep on. You're doing great job'
I wonder how this person would feel listening to this song 2 years later after all that's happened these past couple years, personally I feel like I've aged 10 years and yet not at all
@@ryle2814 Currently on my last year of College, couple more months till I graduate. I could remember listening to Owl City back in high school. It made me realize how fast time flies. And yea, the last thing you said. I feel the same way.
Even though I am still supportive of Owl City, I think it has lost it original 'feeling', where everyone enjoyed. The dreamy feel was lost throughout the years, and I think that Owl City has lost its supporters was because of this reason. If the feeling came back, I'm sure many fans will still follow Owl City. After all, this is your music Adam, you should do whatever you want with it. True fans will still stay with you.
I haven't heard the previews for the rest of the album, but I have a feeling this is a slow start and will wow us all by the time we hear the whole album. I didn't like this song the first time I heard it but more I listen, more it gets better and more I noticed the best thing about Adam is that he actually has something to say in each song! (unlike pointless crap I hear on radio nowadays). I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm definitely excited to hear first hand about his life through the next songs in line #OwlCityForever
Oh my goodness! This video speaks to me so much. While at college, I work as a janitor in a high school in the afternoons. Now that I am on Christmas break, I can hang out with all my friends again! :D I have the biggest smile ever right now.
I agree, but the rest is very good. I can still adore Adam and find criticism in his work. He should have used a lot less of those background voices at parts
+Jonawi Ng Yeah. I️ pin the background voices as the sole reason I️ actively dislike this song. Everything else is pretty fun and enjoyable, but the darn backing vocals almost ruin it.
Avinay Basnet I see what you’re saying - it reminds me of the cheesy voices from the Friday song, lol. But it’s an alright song, almost sounded too immature? I don’t know how to explain it haha.
AHHHH I'M SO BITTER I MISSED THE DROP FOR THIS so glad I managed to make my way here in the end though because this is one of those feel-good-throwback tunes you play on Friday nights and aw
How old do you have to be to enjoy this? I showed my 14 year old cousin, and she laughed so hard that she had tears in her eyes. I showed my 9 year old sister and even she knew this was stupid. Are there like 32 thousand babies on RUclips?
Theory time: what if that janitor kid represents Adams younger self, and that girl at the end is Anne Marie? It would make sense since the kid seems introverted and likes music. And that part where Adam comes by with a confident smile and gives him money kinda cements the idea of the past and the present coming full circle. Idk, and the song is about all his friends, but at the end his friends seem to be holding him down, not letting him go to the girl (who could very well be symbolic of something important.) Because friends are amazing, but they aren't perfect.
I think he did a few of them before, but not like in a jumpy way like this, but he did one around like a few years ago now called Listen To What The Man said, have you heard that one before?
Honestly I can't relate to the negativity this song got. I understand the critique but he can't do the same thing forever, a man's gotta venture out and try new things sometimes. And I don't think the result was as abysmal as some people thought it was. This isn't my favorite song from him, not even from Cinematic, but I never hated it. I still think it's really fun.
People are saying this song sounds bad, but this song is about real life and not some song Owl City was paid to sing. This song is from the heart, people. Not the money.
Owl City is the legend.
Alison Pereira indeed owl city is the greatest legend
Best legend ever!! !

Honestly, Michael Jackson is the real legend edit, but Owl City is also a legend

They're gonna release all three stitched together as a movie!
That's right, what do you think about the album?
I think it's going to be nostalgic!

I believe that it would all be representing one memory.
Not alot of people like this song, but personally its one of my favorite. I feel like this is more genuinely him and I live for that

I had seen people complaining about it and listened to it. It took a few listens but now I love this song especially ever since I moved country.
Why would they complain about this song? Its great!

He is the only member of Owl City FYI
You know what? I first felt nothing about this song, until I went to the concert in Tokyo (wow good memories). It fit perfectly with the atmosphere there,. It was such a great end with this song in that concert.
Finnaly The Legend Come back :) I miss him very muchh~
とてもいい曲！！友達に会いたくなった😍😍

ADAM IS BORN TO SING
Its kinda like the boy starring in the clip is the Adam from the past and the present Adam is saying goodbye to him by giving him some money...And also the Fireflies at the start... Is it only me who accociate on this?
Wait, what? So you're saying that present Adam visited the past?
People saying this isn’t him obviously don’t pay attention. This is literally a classic Owl City song, with the lyrics and everything it just screams it. Just because it’s not electronic doesn’t mean it’s not Owl City.
Was in the toliet consipating when I got a notification of Owl City...
Me:Quickly got out of the toliet and listened to the song he posted .
Koh Hong Yi same here
Owl is my city.
I can't believe I have to wait until June 2018 for cinematic to come out... STAY STRONG OWL CITIZENS
😂😂😂When adam and his gf appeared 😂😂i rewind that scene 3 times
shooting star same same same same
Sooo same
marshmelo that would be like👼👼👼👼
omg same XD
Did anyone Realize In the beginning He was listening to fireflies
Edit: Holy crap I forgot that I ever commented in this video thanks for the likes I’ve never had this much🤩
I literally broke out into a smile and almost got tears in my eyes.
The only reason people are hearing this is because they heard fireflies and looked further into this channel and were like "hmm... Let's listen to that"
+Joel Sampol
or because they turned their volume up at the beginning
Yeah
maybe cause that was the intended obvious easter egg
2:13 OMG ❤❤
Something told me it was gonna be a good morning today and here's the proof
I don't know if it's only me but the guy in this video is so cute!!! Especially when he smiles, he has such a beautiful smile and not only that but even when he's dancing at the beginning of the video he just looks so into it and I feel like dancing along with him. I think he fits so well with the music and in the video. I just thought I'd let y'all know.
He looks like the kid of Benedict Cumberbatch, Asa Butterfield, Matt Smith and some skull-faced dude. But it's cute.
How has this not crossed a million already... :(

Well, he's prolly gotten out of the algorithm because he hasn't uploaded in a year. But that is the only reason I can think of.
Coz ppl nowadays like songs about sex and money and drugs, which is disgusting. Adam's music is exceptional and values family and friends.
1. Because, sadly, Owl City's a one-hit wonder pretty much
2. This song isn't very good. It's just mediocre 2004 sounding country pop punk with no edge.
3. The song already came out some time ago
MAN your the only bastard here that think this song isn’t good
I’m not even kidding, but my brothers are in this video!!!
Fireflies is life
Counter Clockwise get out
I've found a G E N E R I C 🅱️ O Y E

I really love this song and this video! This is great!

It’s been this way from the start
It’s like they’re always tryna tear us apart
But we will stand strong, stand true
And everybody’s gonna watch what we do
And they’ll be awestruck, sayin’, “Aww shucks”
They either got real good or they got real good luck
And I’d be lyin’ if I said that I could take anymore
‘Cause I’ve been on my own, tryin’ like never before
And I was lyin’ on the couch and there’s this knock on the door
And it’s like, ohhhhhh

They either got real good or they got real good luck
And I’d be lyin’ if I said that we could take anymore
‘Cause we’re about to light a fire like never before

And it’s like, ohhhhhh

A message from Owl City:
About a year ago, I started working on a new Owl City album. I found myself writing about the magic of life…the amazing people I’ve met and the places that I’ve seen. I’m so proud to announce that those songs will make up my new 18 track album that will be released on June 1st, 2018. The album will be titled “Cinematic” because just like the movies, life if full of magic.
I know June 1st, 2018 is a long time to wait for the new album, so between now and then I’ll be releasing three Reels (or EPs) featuring three songs each! Starting this Friday, you can pre-order the album everywhere and receive a download of each Reel instantly as they come out!
Hey guys check out the previews for Owl City's new album Cinematic, the classic Ocean Eyes and Sky Sailing sound has returned!!!! ruclips.net/video/j4lg2ten6vs/видео.html

OMG 😱 I JUST REALIZED I ACTUALLY MISSED OWL CITY SO MUCH!!! 😭
WHO HERE HAS A NEW FAVORITE SONG?! 🎶👌😍
"I've been with you from the start eventhought I never really saw you" that's what I would say if i could see him even once...i really have been following him since I was like 11 years old and now seeing him all grown up and beautiful just makes my heart flutter from happiness...keep it up and I really really love you❤❤❤❤💝
For me he's the best music producer I've ever seen
Who else liked it before it started playing?
I did.
Every HootOwl does so. 😇😇😇
Every now and then I just love this kind of upbeat tune.
*Best song to listen with friends!!!*
CAnt wait for second part!
Hey guys check out the previews for Owl City's new album Cinematic, the classic Ocean Eyes and Sky Sailing sound has returned!!!! ruclips.net/video/j4lg2ten6vs/видео.html
still no friends :)
same bro. I'm alone when I listen by I love this song ^^
Solaryo you're not alone bro. We are here :)
True ^^
Maybe if people would listen to more than 30 seconds of this song before they decide they don't like it, they'd actually find it catchy like I do. I think this is the kind of song you have to give a chance and listen to it a few times before you can appreciate it.
When I first listened to this, I wasn't crazy about it, but I most definitely did not hate it. After more listening to this song, it's really grown on me. Very very catchy. I think this generation is WAY too close minded. They immediately decide they hate something before even giving it a chance. Whether they listened to the song or not. I've seen people say they hate this song just based on some assholes review of it. Just 'cause some asshole bashed a song, that doesn't mean you have to agree with them... I mean can no one think for themselves anymore?
As a big fan of Owl City, I've listened to this song probably 5 times. It's worst thing he's ever created, and it pains me to even bother hearing him lazily rap corny lyrics while teenage girls sing along in the background.
In comparison to any song on All Things Bright and Beautiful, this is just pathetic.
You don't even find the chorus catchy? All I hear that people hate it seems is the beginning with the "rapping". What about when it picks up at 1:05 to the chorus? You don't even like that?
It's good if he wants it to be the theme song of another Disney TV show about friendship... and in comparison to many other choruses, this one is lyrically weak and not impressive.
I rated this a 3/10, and gave Lucid Dream an 8/10.
That's fine if you genuinely don't like this song, but please don't leave hurtful comments under his videos like this. If you're as big of a fan as you say you are, then you should always support Adam and his music without judging him so harshly. You won't turn on him the minute he makes a song you don't like. You wait for the next one to see if it's more to your liking. How would you feel if someone called your song, "Worst song of the year." Or "A pathetic train wreck" ? These are things I've heard others say, but you get the idea.
When I'm not crazy about a song, I don't try and think of hurtful ways to say how much I hate it while comparing it to other songs of his. That's just unnecessary. If you feel you must comment something negative, at least make it constructive criticism. Anyone who turns on one of their favorite artists the minute they make something that is not to their liking, do not look like true fans in my eyes...
I can tell if I'm going to like a song from the first minute
Being new to OwlCity, I find this good? I've heard Fireflies and Shooting Star, but this gives me a certain charm? Like a childhood song but better. It still stands as a song just as good as the others to me.
I'm gonna show this to all my friends! ❤
I have a feeling one of my friends already knows about it. Sup, Steve B. (Owl City's manager)?
recommended to all my friends... Watch this!!!!😊😊😊
My wife and I have enjoyed many of your songs. This didn't happen to be one of them. It does seem to appeal to thousands (likely millions) of other people, so great job writing something to which people relate. My wife says this is the only one of your songs she's ever not enjoyed. You're wonderful, and we love you as an artist. Please, make more music forever.
this song is Crap
Nice! It's back!
I appreciate your sincere love and support for my music 🌹. i hope you’ve enjoyed every bit of it
I thought Owl City was dead, never thought I'd get to see a new song before the end of the year.
Of course it is a personal thing but i really can not understand why many disliked this song. Maybe it is not Adam's style but it is definitely such a good song in my opinion. Let him try new things... But still everything he does is gold to me.
Thanks Adam.
Preach it, man! Everybody has opinions and there are never right or wrong answers. Just opinions!
Ryu the Human Would have been nice if a clever one were released first, but don't think all the songs have to be clever. Nice to have a feel good song.
Are there a lot of songs out there about friendship, at least right now? If not then how can it be a platitude/cliche? While it might not be the deepest most complex theme (or lyrics) in the world, it's far from empty. Encouraging people to be true and support one another and let your relationship be a light for other people to be encouraged by- only apply those themes to friendship. And put it to catchy upbeat music (have to listen to it a few times for that I admit) and you have yourself a feel good song, perhaps a tiny bit corny but I like corny from time to time myself. Understand if other people don't, I didn't at first and still don't care for some aspects of it.
S K many people know he can do better
This will be the third album in a row full of contrived, uninspired, 'whoa-oa' choruses from Adam. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Owl City fan - those early albums were my whole life for a while. But this new music hasn't connected in anything close to the same way. From both an emotional and objective point of view his new music isn't nearly as poetic or original as it used to be.
2:13 - 2:16 best parttttt
7 years, and he still makes me feel awestruck every time
I can't count the times Adam's music took me away from sad days:p
I would be sad and angry if this doesn't get 100 million views.
you singing about all your friends makes me sad because I have none
The moment that Adam gave him a money and smile, I don't know why my eyes wet. It's like he's looking at me for real and saying, 'keep on. You're doing great job'
2019 'bout to end and here I am binging Owl City songs to remind myself how great all of them are.
It is 2021, December 25th to be precise, I feel the same way.
I wonder how this person would feel listening to this song 2 years later after all that's happened these past couple years, personally I feel like I've aged 10 years and yet not at all
@@ryle2814 Currently on my last year of College, couple more months till I graduate. I could remember listening to Owl City back in high school. It made me realize how fast time flies. And yea, the last thing you said. I feel the same way.
Owl is my city
Port is my blue
Dude, so 90s. Positively speaking!
Even though I am still supportive of Owl City, I think it has lost it original 'feeling', where everyone enjoyed. The dreamy feel was lost throughout the years, and I think that Owl City has lost its supporters was because of this reason. If the feeling came back, I'm sure many fans will still follow Owl City. After all, this is your music Adam, you should do whatever you want with it. True fans will still stay with you.
Have you heard the previews for the rest of the songs on the album? It sounds like the dreamy feel might be making a return!
He can try any kind of genre he wants, just as long as there's no cursing or sex or drugs involved in his songs. Solid fan since his debut 👌
Go listen to the previews for the rest of the album on google play or youtube. You'll be happy.
I haven't heard the previews for the rest of the album, but I have a feeling this is a slow start and will wow us all by the time we hear the whole album. I didn't like this song the first time I heard it but more I listen, more it gets better and more I noticed the best thing about Adam is that he actually has something to say in each song! (unlike pointless crap I hear on radio nowadays). I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm definitely excited to hear first hand about his life through the next songs in line #OwlCityForever
I still think it has that dreamy vibe. I love it. Just a different kind of dreamy vibe
I love you so much. I have been listening your music for ever
Boi I've been here since 2008
Adam Young is Owl City, and Owl City is a state of mind.
Oh my goodness! This video speaks to me so much. While at college, I work as a janitor in a high school in the afternoons. Now that I am on Christmas break, I can hang out with all my friends again! :D I have the biggest smile ever right now.
It's awesome but I think those background voices sound a little awkward.
#HootOwl
Avinay Basnet I thought hootowl is dead
Not gonna lie, but that's probably the reason this song sounds kinda cringy. Im just hoping that his next songs would be less cringy compared to this
I agree, but the rest is very good. I can still adore Adam and find criticism in his work. He should have used a lot less of those background voices at parts
+Jonawi Ng Yeah. I️ pin the background voices as the sole reason I️ actively dislike this song. Everything else is pretty fun and enjoyable, but the darn backing vocals almost ruin it.
Avinay Basnet I see what you’re saying - it reminds me of the cheesy voices from the Friday song, lol. But it’s an alright song, almost sounded too immature? I don’t know how to explain it haha.
AHHHH I'M SO BITTER I MISSED THE DROP FOR THIS
so glad I managed to make my way here in the end though because this is one of those feel-good-throwback tunes you play on Friday nights and aw
I'm excited for the continuation, anyone else? lol
There back!!!!
*They're
*He is back. Adam is a one man band.
You guys must be fun at parties
I love how he was listening to Fireflies.
How old do you have to be to enjoy this? I showed my 14 year old cousin, and she laughed so hard that she had tears in her eyes. I showed my 9 year old sister and even she knew this was stupid. Are there like 32 thousand babies on RUclips?
I wish I could listen to these guys on the radio again
One dude
I didn't like this song at first then I was like damn yeah I love it
hahaha
It sounds a bit corny at first, but the chord progression and the melody is really catchy
ariana grande same and shocked when said TO BE CONTINUED.... I don't know why because it's amazing. I wish they make more with also Easter eggs
Owl City will always be the Best, You’re always so upbeat!
Theory time: what if that janitor kid represents Adams younger self, and that girl at the end is Anne Marie? It would make sense since the kid seems introverted and likes music. And that part where Adam comes by with a confident smile and gives him money kinda cements the idea of the past and the present coming full circle. Idk, and the song is about all his friends, but at the end his friends seem to be holding him down, not letting him go to the girl (who could very well be symbolic of something important.) Because friends are amazing, but they aren't perfect.
makes sense lol XD
He actually said that this sing is inspired from his life! See his facebook page about the things he said about this song.
Maybe but he also worked on COCA COLA back then
My head just exploded
My god, why would he continue worshipping his ex-gf while being dating another girl?
Didn't expect this style from him. Quite good, though.
I think he did a few of them before, but not like in a jumpy way like this, but he did one around like a few years ago now called Listen To What The Man said, have you heard that one before?
One of his best
life was dull but then i discovered Owl City
Well i don't have friend so why i am listening to this 😂
And nice song👍 Senpai
Me too feelbadman
Yeah same probably because we want to appreciate the works of Adam?
Byron Dabu I be your friend
i can be your friend bro :D
I love the old school vibe of this
Honestly I can't relate to the negativity this song got. I understand the critique but he can't do the same thing forever, a man's gotta venture out and try new things sometimes. And I don't think the result was as abysmal as some people thought it was. This isn't my favorite song from him, not even from Cinematic, but I never hated it. I still think it's really fun.
A new Video :D love it
Alison McCain FIREFLIES FOREVER
I have been waiting years for this!
This is such an amazing creation Adam... the world needs more dreamers like you sir! I smiled so much when you appeared in this video!! 2:15
Awesome!! I loved every second of it! Can't wait for the new album! 😁
It was 2021 now but this music is still taking me.
Amazing as always
People are saying this song sounds bad, but this song is about real life and not some song Owl City was paid to sing. This song is from the heart, people. Not the money.
Emerald Sierra it sounds like dogshit.
Bleh. It sounds like Kidz Bop or a pep rally. Go listen to "The Technicolor Phase" or "Fuzzy Blue Lights" and then get back to me.
Honestly this song sounds more like something he was paid to sing more than any of his other songs. Its not bad, but not one of his best imo :/
Rhett Gedies sounds nothing close to kidz bop
this is a great song!
Oh how I’ve been waiting for this day
