I've never heard of this song or the animated movie before, but THIS IS SO GOOD. Adam's Voice is so dreamy and magical here. It's a beautiful masterpiece. No matter how big of an Owl City fan you are, there's always something new. This is amazing.
Adam Young make me think about love. Apart from the victory of the heart, there is a better reward for those they love. See his smile lights up any stormy day and watch him for hours, if you want to ... Being able to speak, painting, writing, playing about him ..always with a melody that is his sweet voice in the ears. Sometimes I stop and think of him and of every moment that we have spend togheter and I realize that him is my whole life! Don't stop loving.
God, how I love Adam Young. He never fails to amaze me and as soon as I heard this cover, I just burst into tears. Watership down was my favourite movie of all time and I watched it 24/7 when I was a child. I had no idea that it was also one of HIS favourite books too. That alone, is really special to me, and I won’t let anyone take that from me. Adam Young, thank you for inspiring me.
It just became my new favorite book too after reading it this Summer!!! And my new favorite animated series. I wish this cover would have been in the new series, he’s got a pure voice
I've been a fan of Adam's for a while now, but just got around to reading Watership Down this past week. I'm so happy I did, it is a great book! I even watched the movie today, and that returned me to this cover.
I was just rereading the book... for the ten thousandth time... now if only, when my birthday gets here in a few weeks, I could get the film as a gift and watch it ten thousand times... as it is I've played this song ten thousand times (the original and this breathtaking, beautifully mastered cover.) Adam is the reason I read WD and loved it. And saw the film and loved it. Thank you, Adam, for helping me to discover the masterpiece that is Watership Down!
I'm in love with Watership Down right now... I've read the book and watched the film so many times.... Watership Down is gonna be my summer reading book, I love it so much. And I'm in love with Adam Young's work! The fact that these two amazing things collided makes my heart melt! A beautiful twist on a modern classic!
Thank you for this, even though i can't listen to it without breaking down into tears O' Frith take these innocents into your heart. Let them be with you forever in the kingdom of El-ahrairah The Prince with a Thousand Enemies. Let them know not pain or sadness now or evermore. Live forever in joy and love them as no other ever could. Lucky and Brave. My beautiful babies. Our time together was so brief and there are no words to say how much I will miss you. I will never forget you and not a day will pass that my heart will not ache when I think of you. So rest for now. Until the day we are reunited. My beautiful babies.
Oh mein Gott... Als ich so die ersten Strophen gehört habe, dachte ich: "Das is ja ganz cool..." Und dann beim ersten Refrain... BOOOM!!! WOW Wirklich Göttlich... *-* Im gonna cry! *-* So breathtaking...
This is one of my favorite Art Garfunkel songs out there, including everything he did with Paul Simon. This is a great song for Adam to sing, I feel. It's rich in emotion and nicely nuanced, and I love Adam's interpretation of it. It's a nice departure from the tone of The Midsummer Station, which was marked by an increase in accessibility and the introduction of some very dark undercurrents. Still, there's a lot of substance in everything Adam does, pop-y or not, and it all means a lot to me.
Isnt this lovely that a young talent like adam can appreciate this beautiful classic like this and do the song the justice it deserves! Art garfunkle had the most beautiful voice in the world! Iove it when a macho man can show their soft femine side of themselves! To me the great example was the group kiss, when theses tuff rockers did their song "beth", what a george gem they created, with the lovely solo by peter criss and all the classic strings in the background! To me it was one of the best songs to ever grace the music industry!
Watched Watership Down.Cried when i heard this song.One day,i search up some Owl City songs and found this.Thought about how the movie would look with Adam singing the song instead of Art Garfunkel.Spent the rest of the week thinking.I might as well make a remake of the movie with this song instead of Art's version O.o Owl citizen forever! ♥
Listening to this at 3 AM when I recently lost someone was an EXTREMELY bad idea. So is writing this comment at 3 AM. But Rational Me is asleep right now.
I actually love this version much better than Art Garfunkel’s. He actually sings this with more emotion and what’s awesome about Adam Young is that he has Asperger’s.
This version of the song should definitely be the end-credits for Watership Down child friendly CGI movie Remake. I think the movie should get a Remake that stars Martian Freeman, Jim Sturgus, Hugh Jackman, Andy Serkis, & Michael Fassbender.
Present day, 2019: well that remake was a hell of disappointment. Wanna good Watership Down series, watch the 1999 cartoon. Oh and for the furries out there; yes, Blackberry is a female. Now go on, make all the shipping/porn fan art and fan fiction with her and Hazel.
+riggerrogger101 probably because the story is a cautionary tail on the evils of socialism and communism. The book is a very powerful statement on individual freedom and what happens to it when it is stripped away.
From the animated British film about bunnies that ended up all killing each other serving as an allegory, with the labours of a bunch of rabbit characters "mirroring the timeless struggles between tyranny and freedom, reason and blind emotion, and the individual and the corporate state."
I've read an original Filipino story. . . the story say " heaven is on man. . . no one cant see it. feel it. touch it." but this song prove it was wrong, the truth is . . . ADAM IS HEAVEN !
I am one of Adam young's biggest fans,this is what you call music
Fr God bless
Jesus loves and has a plan for all he says commit your work to the Lord and your plans will be established
owl city i will never stop loving you
I can't believe I've only just found this. I love Owl City and Watership Down. This has made my day!!
I've never heard of this song or the animated movie before, but THIS IS SO GOOD. Adam's Voice is so dreamy and magical here. It's a beautiful masterpiece. No matter how big of an Owl City fan you are, there's always something new. This is amazing.
Whatever you do don't watch the film. I was 8 when I saw it I'm 27 now. I have not and never will recover 😭😭😭
You'll probably never see this but this song will mean so much more to you once you watch Watership Down.
@@AvocadoBanshee Will definitely consider checking it out sometime. Thanks for the reminder.
Which animated movie?
"How could the light that burned so brightly....
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes..."
RIP Richard Adams, author of "Watership Down"!
Rest in Peace you legend! ❤️ I wish you were still with us, sharing more wonderful stories for the world. 😢
"How could the light that burned so brightly, suddenly burn so pale? Bright eyes." I love Adam forever.

I love the key change into a minor on "And what does it mean?
Oh, is it a dream?"... it makes the song have that nostalgic early 1900s feel.
Jane in my opinion, he did a better job at this song than Art Garfunkel
Hey Jane.
oh my God YES! it sounds so magical, makes me very nostalgic.
Amazing. So much emotion watching this as a boy in the 70s
I literally starting crying after I heard this cover. It's so beautiful
He never disappoints...EVER!
Truth
No he doesn’t and I love the piano and orchestra music, very sentimental I just want to cry

This cover played a part in me reading "Watership Down" for the first time... Now my favorite book of all time!
Me too! :)
Watership Down is Adam's favorite book.
It just became my new favorite book too after reading it this Summer!!! And my new favorite animated series. I wish this cover would have been in the new series, he’s got a pure voice
I am almost finish with the book!
I cannot believe it’s not on ITunes
I've been a fan of Adam's for a while now, but just got around to reading Watership Down this past week. I'm so happy I did, it is a great book! I even watched the movie today, and that returned me to this cover.
Wow...Adam could make an awesome cover for almost any song!
Adam is an angel ^^
I was just rereading the book... for the ten thousandth time... now if only, when my birthday gets here in a few weeks, I could get the film as a gift and watch it ten thousand times... as it is I've played this song ten thousand times (the original and this breathtaking, beautifully mastered cover.)
Adam is the reason I read WD and loved it. And saw the film and loved it.
Thank you, Adam, for helping me to discover the masterpiece that is Watership Down!
his voice is so soothing omg
Watership Down is a fantastic film and book and Adam's done an amazing cover of this song :'D
I adore all of Adam's songs and covers, but I think this one just traveled down into my heart and embraced it. It hurts a little, but in a good way.
Can't. Stop. Listening. Such deep meaning behind the lyrics...trying to figure it out.
Such a great voice...
I'm in love with Watership Down right now... I've read the book and watched the film so many times.... Watership Down is gonna be my summer reading book, I love it so much.
And I'm in love with Adam Young's work! The fact that these two amazing things collided makes my heart melt! A beautiful twist on a modern classic!
I love Adam young he’s so amazing and talented how come bright eyes is not on one of his albums I wish I was
Beautiful voice Adam
Hard to believe this song was originally the theme for "Watership Down"; Adam makes this song sound sweet and calming. And I love it!!!
Thank you for this, even though i can't listen to it without breaking down into tears
O' Frith take these innocents into your heart.
Let them be with you forever in the kingdom of El-ahrairah The Prince with a Thousand Enemies.
Let them know not pain or sadness now or evermore.
Live forever in joy and love them as no other ever could.
Lucky and Brave.
My beautiful babies.
Our time together was so brief and there are no words to say how much I will miss you.
I will never forget you and not a day will pass that my heart will not ache when I think of you.
So rest for now.
Until the day we are reunited.
My beautiful babies.
That picture of Adam fits the song perfectly.
Love this song
Oh mein Gott... Als ich so die ersten Strophen gehört habe, dachte ich:

This is like a child's lualby, mixed with a sympothy and it came out beautiful. :-)
Listening to this at 3 AM when I recently lost someone was an EXTREMELY bad idea.
So is writing this comment at 3 AM.
But Rational Me is asleep right now.
plot twist: Rational you doesn't exist
How are you God bless
@@AvgSpy how are you God bles
goosebumps.I never thought I'd hear a cover that gave me the same feeling the original did. just... wow.
I... I have no words... It's just too perfect...
Beautiful.
I remember when my mother read Watership Down to me and my little sister. Its one of my favorite books ever.
This song can only be sang with a true meaning of the spirit, a true meaning of life and after life.
I actually love this version much better than Art Garfunkel’s. He actually sings this with more emotion and what’s awesome about Adam Young is that he has Asperger’s.
king of synthpop/ electro pop
Fabulous. Beautiful rendition.
How can people dislike this?! D:
This is so beautiful, his voice is music for millions of ears!
Just when I thought this song couldn't POSSIBLY be any more depressing!
Yet, it's so beautiful.
MonoTopia5
It really is.

Just heard the original by Art Garfunkel and I had completely forgotten about this cover! So well done!
E' bellissima, bellissima!!!
I love this ... thank you Adam ..

So beautiful.
Adam you always make my day love it sooo much
it's so good !!!
This so beautiful :') gives me goosebumps
This version of the song should definitely be the end-credits for Watership Down child friendly CGI movie Remake. I think the movie should get a Remake that stars Martian Freeman, Jim Sturgus, Hugh Jackman, Andy Serkis, & Michael Fassbender.
The Double U They've actually got the entire cast and it's going tp be a BBC Netflix miniseries.
I hope this version will be both the opening title with lyrics and the end title after the episode only instrumental.
Its out now on Netflix but not really reaching the standards of the 1978 movie.
Present day, 2019: well that remake was a hell of disappointment. Wanna good Watership Down series, watch the 1999 cartoon. Oh and for the furries out there; yes, Blackberry is a female. Now go on, make all the shipping/porn fan art and fan fiction with her and Hazel.
I love Adam's cover a lot more than when Art Garfunkel sang it ^^
He needs to collect all these little songs he hasn't put in albums
Woah. Really good man.
Though I prefer the Art Garfunkel version, this is a beautiful rendition of one of the most pure songs from an animated feature! :)
I'll play this before I sleep. It's like a lullaby song. :)
Omg... Watership down theme right?
That movie... no idea why my parents thought it was a good idea to let me watch that as a kid...
+riggerrogger101 probably because the story is a cautionary tail on the evils of socialism and communism. The book is a very powerful statement on individual freedom and what happens to it when it is stripped away.

I was so not ready for this, this gave me so many goosebumps ;0;
This is so pretty!
Listening to this as an adult... hits me hard because I used to listen to it as a kid, it was the year my father passed away.
Touches every fibre of my being... everytime.
so mesmerizing!!!! love this cover song :)
I've read an original Filipino story. . . the story say " heaven is on man. . . no one cant see it. feel it. touch it." but this song prove it was wrong, the truth is . . . ADAM IS HEAVEN !
