    Lyrics:
    In the basement of an empty house
    I slept on the floor like a vagrant
    I braved a Minnesota winter night
    And drove to a movie feeling lonely
    And as I thawed my heart out by the light
    Of the silver screen
    I was unaware that you were there
    In the dark, a silhouette
    Was climbing up the stairs
    And what I thought
    In the parking lot
    Was like, I just wanna know your name
    I drove away
    With not much to say
    But in my hand I held a paper bird
    And written on it were the words
    Be brave
    Wildflower knew I wasn't well
    But on the kitchen floor I got better again
    I grabbed my keys and drove toward a star
    And there, I was understood for the first time in my life
    Cuz that's when I was introduced to true
    Serendipity
    I knew it when
    You showed up again
    In the snow, yeah I was always told
    Your heart is where you’re home
    And what I thought
    In the coffee shop
    Was like, the last eight hours was a dream
    I drove away
    With not much to say
    But in my hand I held a paper bird
    And written on it were the words
    And in my mind
    After all this time
    I think, ain’t life beautiful and strange I'm blown away
    With no words to say
    Cuz I, I'll forever be amazed
    How I learned the meaning of the phrase
    Be brave
    Be brave
    Be brave

    Adam Young “Owl City” is the most UNDERRATED artist of all time. Just saying it from the heart, Adams deserves 10x more attention that he gets. It just upsets me the greatness of his music that people just don’t get to listen to.

    • @infinitegodaikinbrent8174
      @infinitegodaikinbrent8174 4 года назад +5

      Agreed! Adam is hands down my favorite, and no one touches his musical messages. One of the greatest composers in my lifetime.

    I'm so glad he came out with this album. It's like his own Movie. Cinematic. I've been listening to his music since 2012 and honestly I never get tired. It's dreamy,inspiring as well as real and that's what keeps me going. Him opening up about his life story is the best thing ever. I love Personal Adam. He's back on Tour but I won't be able to see him he would never come to my country :'( But I'll always be supporting him and his music. His voice is bliss. You can listen to it when you wake up and when you go to sleep. Love From India ❤️🇮🇳

    Be brave has become my favorite song in the album itself. With this acoustic is always a great plus. This is just substantial in my situation which I needed something to hold on to and Hope is only the answer I could found. I want to believe there's much more to behold in this journey and quoted; "I held a paper bird, and written on it were the words, be brave". I promise I'll be brave.
    At the end of the video, it was nice to see the girl coming to the theater searching for the singer.

    Adam, this is so ineffable! The 5th of July and the entire Mobile Orchestra was my favorite, but Be Brave has blown me away, especially this version! You’ve been a huge influence and I’m in awe on how personal this song is and hows its approached. For the past 11 years owl City has changed my point of view in life and in how imagination should be used and visualized whether in music or film; With that said, I am going to make an animation just for you; Thank you Adam, Always!

    Adam was cold and lonely. He lay on the floor of his basement, wondering what he was doing. It was February 14, and snowing in the small town of Redwing, Minnesota. He decided to brave the winter storm and headed to the movie theater. There he sat down to watch a rom-com. He wished something like this would happen to him. He was unaware that something would. Walking back to get more popcorn was a silhouette. In the dark, she brushed his hand and left in it a paper bird. When the movie was over, he went to his car. He opened the bird and stared at the words inside.
    "Be Brave." He just stared for a while. It was a girl's handwriting. He just wanted to know her name. So he drove away with nothing much to say, but in his hand, he held the paper bird.
    The next couple of hours he didn't feel well, and his cat wildflower could tell. But he felt better, after a while of sitting on his kitchen floor. Soon he went out again. he got a coffee and pondered his paper bird and then he saw the same handwriting. And that was when she showed up again, in the snow. It was serendipity. He made a paper bird out of his napkin and wrote on it. "Okay, I'll be brave" That was all.
    But Adam would forever remember the phrase. "Be Brave"
