I love how these two songs go together- the first being about wanting to be with your young love forever, followed by a song about losing that person and hoping they remember you as much as you remember them.
I love how he's enjoying himelf while performing "The bird and the worm", or any of his songs in general - He makes me feel so happy inside! Personally, I can't say I know a lot of artist who seem to be really happy to be present while performing live, who immerse themselves as much as Adam. That man's so special and charming, and has totatally what it takes to make my heart melt.
Laughing at Adam's adorably dorky guitar dancing int the first song, then crying with the second. Adam has an amazing gift for music from God, I thank God he's there :)
Y'know, one thing that I appreciate in this video is that the crowd actually knows when to pipe down. Makes a live song much more enjoyable, 'specially when it's Owl City.
Ann had blue eyes, her favorite flowers were pink star-lilies, and I used to literally sing her to sleep over the phone while she was home and I was on tour. The song is in fact so personal, it almost hurts to listen to it now that such a perfect relationship has come to an end. I wasn’t sure if I had something as “genuine and pure” inside of me but the song basically wrote itself and I’m proud of it.
Ann Marie was, and certainly still is, such a beautiful person to me, and I’d never written such a personal song before, I knew I had to include her name in the lyrics because the song is truly what I wish I could say to her now that’s she’s gone. A lot of my songs are written purely from the imagination and some have no representation of my personal life, but “Lonely Lullaby” was the first song I wrote almost ENTIRELY about something as personal as a romantic relationship.
It's been 8 years and I still wish I had been at this concert in person. I watched these Live in LA clips over and over as a middle schooler and they still leave me enamored today. God bless Adam Young.
I was there in person at this concert and come back to watch this video a few times a year. I can’t put into words what I would give to experience it again. The silence of the crowd while he was playing lonely lullaby was something I’ll never forget. Everyone was in tears as he was playing. My first time hearing it was when he played it at this concert too! So glad this was filmed. It’s been 14 years and still one of the best memories in my life
he sounds so close to tears. its so sad and beautiful. adam, I love you. but dont make me sadder too. I'm already as sad lonely lullaby, I dont need to be even sadder. :'(
I love Owl City so much! Amazing how they can make songs so beautiful and emotional, but also catchy such as 'When can I see you again'. Good job, Owl City!
Anna Faelens Owl City is a musical project founded by Adam Young so ... only Adam makes music. What you just saw is the live touring band. This band perform live music only but not creating them
OwlCityMP3 What do you mean, only Adam makes music? Sure, maybe he's the one writing the songs, but the other support him in bass etc. That's also making music in my opinion...
Anna Faelens yeah make something is like creating something, these guys here aren't creating the music, they play them, hope this is clear? where are you from btw?
08:54 - 08:56 I feel so bad for Adam right there. He sounds like hes trying not to cry. And a moment before, he takes a second break in the music and then when he starts again he sounds so sad.
Lonely Lullaby is about his ex-girlfriend Ann Marie who he described as the “most wonderful, beautiful woman” he knew. He was “madly in love with everything about her” and said she had a huge impact on his life. Maybe communication was the reason their relationship didn’t last. “Ironically I’m too shy to webcam with friends, or even family for that matter. I’m not much for phone calls or texting either. Communicating is just not something I’m crazy about. I’d rather communicate through music.”
Owl City Live From LA has been published as DVD and Blu Ray Disc Included 21 songs plus the interview (INTRO is not a song) Live performance July 21, 2011, Nokia CLUB, Los Angeles, California
Just going to say, his face on the second song shows so much passion and emotion it makes you want to sit on the couch, eat whip cream, and cry while watching this over and over... XD
Believe this was in 2011 if I remember correctly, I was there for this concert. Was thinking about this tonight and had to look it up, I’m so glad this was recorded. Hands down my most incredible concert memory. I had heard his other songs but this concert was my first time hearing Lonely Lullaby. I don’t think I’ve ever experienced so many people in absolute silence and awe watching an artist perform. Once he was done singing we were all looking around at each other in tears trying to take in what we just experienced. Everyone was in tears it was incredible. 14 years later and still remember this performance like it was yesterday
lol. see west coast friendship. I've memorized every single owl city song and who needs to see it? I live there! no wonder adam wrote it! seeing the west coast will amaze just about anyone!
It is amazing that he can play the piano so well when he couldn't understand music notations. Then how does he know which are the correct keys? Adam must be a musical genius...
the bird and the worm.. 1st song i heard of owl city! and after that i found out everything awesome.. hez brave. writing all these spl songs would have been very difficult!
The melody played before Lonely Lullaby is actually the melody of the song “Always” from his latest album Cinematic. I love how Adam takes the time to turn simple melodies, used even for transitioning songs, into a full blown song years later.
If I see/ here this, I just can't wait till Adam comes back to my country again. I can't believe it has been four years that I saw him. I also can't believe I know Owl City for allready 7 years. He touched me like nobody ever did
yeah, shes definitely not dead. dont know where that came from. but its so sad, he sings bird and the worm so happily, then just looks so sad playing lonely lullaby. :( poor adam.
Why is Adam SUPER CUTE when he's singing bird and the worm! I 💟 the song Lonely lullaby😂 It's the song I mostly hear when I'm alone. Adam helped me a lot😂 I'm always encouraged!
During lonely lullaby Adam sounded and looked like he was going to cry, and I understand him :'( I cried myself. This is a beautilful and heartbreaking song and I really hope that Annmarie have heard it
Adam all your music is a real lulaby for me 'cause i can't forget them all...they should come through every cells of my earphone otherwise no sleep for me....this happens every night for me....❤❤
then you'll be happy again. Actually the next 2 songs are Fireflies and dreams don't turn to dust then you can see that it's Kamikaze and Meteor Shower. I didn't upload Fireflies and dreams dont turn to dust cause its already on youtube... but I tried and got blocked WORLDWIDE
@KKOPPI His first album was because he didn't know how to sing yet. Once he began touring he learned how since at that point he had to. You can hear him taking breaths and whatnot in this video right here. He even changes the notes he sings from the album versions here and there.
Well, I'll keep just keep repeating this, feeling good about myself, then bad about myself, then good again, then bad, then good, then bad, then good then bad then good then bad
Let it go... if puny stuff like this bothers you, you aren't gonna be happy at all. Let your heart breathe. Forgive whoever it is that hurt you in the past.
Now I know. Thanks alot for the info, and by the way, nice upload. I hope you can upload the rest of the song. I think they performed 22 songs in LA right? Anyway, thanks again. :)
Yes. I only listen to owl city or anything adam young. My friends and family think I'm obsessed. One of my friends just thinks its owlsome. cuz it is! Listening to Owl City is better than listening to rap or stuff like that right?
If you're the bird Whenever we pretend it's summer Then I'm the worm I know the part, it's such a bummer But fair is fair If my segments get separated I'll scream And you'll be there Close your eyes (Close my eyes) Slide the cotton off of your shoulder And feel the shine (Feel the shine) I'm hooked so toss me over And cast a line (Well, I'll try) I'll throw a party and greet my undersea friends (It depends) As they arrive (If they arrive) You and I left our troubles far behind (Troubles far behind) But I still have just one more question on my mind For all my pals who live in the oceans and the seas With friends like these, well, Who needs enemies? If I'm your boy Let's take a shortcut we remember And we'll enjoy Picking apples in late September like We've done for years Then we'll take a long walk Through the cornfield And I'll kiss you Between the ears If you're my girl Swirl me around your room with feeling And as we twirl The glow in the dark stars on your ceiling Will shine for us As love sweeps over the room 'Cause we tend to make Each other blush (you make me blush) You and I left our troubles far behind (Troubles far behind) But I still have just one more question on my mind For all my pals who live in the oceans and the seas With fronds like these, well, Who needs anemones? You're the bird, I'm the worm And it's plain to see That we were meant to be We were meant to be We were meant to be (If you're the bird, If you're the bird, Then I'm the worm) We were meant to be
I like the fact that the crowd knows when to cheer and to just listen.
Lonely lullaby is so emotional. I've probably watched this clip 13 times over the passed years
I love how these two songs go together- the first being about wanting to be with your young love forever, followed by a song about losing that person and hoping they remember you as much as you remember them.
I never noticed that
Breanne singing “troubles far behind” is so good 😭😭😭😭
It sure is
owl city songs can change mood...sad to happy, or happy to crying.
I love how he's enjoying himelf while performing "The bird and the worm", or any of his songs in general - He makes me feel so happy inside! Personally, I can't say I know a lot of artist who seem to be really happy to be present while performing live, who immerse themselves as much as Adam.

HannahDN97 it shows how dedicated he is!

'Till 2021. 🥺

10 years ago and here I am. Lonely Lullaby has been a favorite of mine but never really dug deep into its story. I'm blown away.
It's been 8 years and I still wish I had been at this concert in person. I watched these Live in LA clips over and over as a middle schooler and they still leave me enamored today. God bless Adam Young.
Same.

he sounds so close to tears. its so sad and beautiful. adam, I love you. but dont make me sadder too. I'm already as sad lonely lullaby, I dont need to be even sadder. :'(
the 2nd vocal is so cute😍
Beautiful song. The piano is flawless and passionate. I can never take my ears away until this entire song is finished.
I have never seen an artist sing about love like that. Stunning.
I love Owl City so much! Amazing how they can make songs so beautiful and emotional, but also catchy such as 'When can I see you again'. Good job, Owl City!

Anna Faelens You should know the difference between 'make' and 'perform'
OwlCityMP3 Sorry, in my native language we normally see 'make' and 'perform' as the same.
Anna Faelens yeah make something is like creating something, these guys here aren't creating the music, they play them, hope this is clear? where are you from btw?
its always sound wonderful .. owlcity rocks !! :D
OMG OWL CITY I WANNA GO TO HIS FREAKING CONCERT MAN I LOVE YOU
Lonely Lullaby always makes me emotional wen i hear it but hearing him live there'ssooo much passion and its beautiful
AAAAAEEEEEEHHH HES SO ADAMORABLE! JUST HIM ON GUITAR. *blushes* -•U•- I'M BLUSHING SO BADLY
08:54 - 08:56
I feel so bad for Adam right there. He sounds like hes trying not to cry. And a moment before, he takes a second break in the music and then when he starts again he sounds so sad.

It is amazing that he can play the piano so well when he couldn't understand music notations. Then how does he know which are the correct keys? Adam must be a musical genius...

Me myself is one as well and he inspired me to learn how to make music. Such a talented guy!
the bird and the worm.. 1st song i heard of owl city! and after that i found out everything awesome.. hez brave. writing all these spl songs would have been very difficult!
I'm from Turkey.They have a listener tooooo far away from them. Maybe they didn't know this. I love their music
The melody played before Lonely Lullaby is actually the melody of the song “Always” from his latest album Cinematic. I love how Adam takes the time to turn simple melodies, used even for transitioning songs, into a full blown song years later.
Wait whaaat? Lemme listen to that again.
Edit: Caught that. Nice!
Please smile, please look beautiful away you're LA, no problem :) Cave In - Live From LA
If I see/ here this, I just can't wait till Adam comes back to my country again. I can't believe it has been four years that I saw him. I also can't believe I know Owl City for allready 7 years. He touched me like nobody ever did
coming back here one in a while, listening again to these lovely and underrated song
yeah, shes definitely not dead. dont know where that came from. but its so sad, he sings bird and the worm so happily, then just looks so sad playing lonely lullaby. :( poor adam.
Why is Adam SUPER CUTE when he's singing bird and the worm! I 💟 the song Lonely lullaby😂 It's the song I mostly hear when I'm alone. Adam helped me a lot😂 I'm always encouraged!
YOUR THE BEST OWL CITY!
During lonely lullaby Adam sounded and looked like he was going to cry, and I understand him :'( I cried myself. This is a beautilful and heartbreaking song and I really hope that Annmarie have heard it
I catch myself smiling every time I watch these videos. Its inevitable
Let's just stop mentioning about Ann Marie, we are here to listen how happy and joyful the previous song
+OwlCityMP3 My grandmothers name was Anne Marie
Who is that and why were people mentioning her?
Anne Marie was Adam's ex-girlfriend
+OwlCityMP3 Ohhh, that makes sense. Is she the same singer from the song Friends?
Wow very good 😊 singer
WHEN'S THE NEXT CONCERT. HE'S AN ANGEL
Lovely Lulliby is so beautiful!
just beautiful
you are right, many people just said that she's DEAD!? but in fact she moved to California (see Westcoast Friendship)
The bird and the worm is such an amazing song!! :)
And I agree, no autotunes there!
You re magical...
Me? Or Adam Young?
Hi, I m mexicana I do not speak english but since I found your music is the best therapy to my live.
Both the first Adam are magical for sensitive and humble and the second talented.
this makes me want to cry alot really...
more than beautiful
Adam all your music is a real lulaby for me 'cause i can't forget them all...they should come through every cells of my earphone otherwise no sleep for me....this happens every night for me....❤❤
Amazing talent! So much originally with his music and lyrics.
Heart breaking!
I love you! :'(
Ann Marie I'll never forget you....
love this song bruh.
and nice song... just amazing dude
I refuse to die without being in an online concert of owl city with some sky saling songs TnT
Fun fact: This video has no dislike yet!
Poodie Pie Owl City is owlsome, that's it
OwlCityMP3 can't hate. #hootowl4life
+OwlCityMP3 Yay!
Fun Fact: The actual DVD has better quality.
The bird and the worm is such a cute song :)
This is amazing even though its live it sounds exactly like the studio version!
their songs are incredibles and lovely :)
PANAMÁ. I love all the songs of Owl City
it was without autotune, believe it
I love this song. (the bird and the worm)
It take approximately 1 and a half year to have no dislikes on this video and half a month to get 2 dislikes
John N
no one wold be stupid enough to do that
Adam looked sad when he was playing "Lonley Lullaby" ;(
then you'll be happy again. Actually the next 2 songs are Fireflies and dreams don't turn to dust then you can see that it's Kamikaze and Meteor Shower. I didn't upload Fireflies and dreams dont turn to dust cause its already on youtube... but I tried and got blocked WORLDWIDE
Oh I finally found the answer.
ann marie is not dead. i just saw her last week...
& Adam and her are still friends!
That is the happiest comment I've ever read. I knew that Annemarie just moved to California, but to hear that they're still friends is such a relief
@KKOPPI His first album was because he didn't know how to sing yet. Once he began touring he learned how since at that point he had to. You can hear him taking breaths and whatnot in this video right here. He even changes the notes he sings from the album versions here and there.
This is absolute
Low quality but thanks for the reupload. I was so sad when this wasn't on RUclips.

Let your heart breathe.
Forgive whoever it is that hurt you in the past.
You're welcome then! :D
I dont hate alligator sky, in fact I love the nonrap version. I've even memorized the rap one! its not the same Owl City, but its still Adam Young!
Now I know. Thanks alot for the info, and by the way, nice upload.
I hope you can upload the rest of the song.
I think they performed 22 songs in LA right?
Anyway, thanks again. :)
the feelings
Don't cry anymore .. for crying out loud
Probably... holding back his tears suring Lonely Lullaby.
that is some magic does not remind us of auto tune...
d아 시발 처음에 기타치는거 존나 행복해보여서 너무 귀엽다.. 소중하다..
Yes. I only listen to owl city or anything adam young. My friends and family think I'm obsessed. One of my friends just thinks its owlsome. cuz it is! Listening to Owl City is better than listening to rap or stuff like that right?
This is the only true version of this song
If you're the bird
Whenever we pretend it's summer
Then I'm the worm
I know the part, it's such a bummer
But fair is fair
If my segments get separated
I'll scream
And you'll be there
Close your eyes
(Close my eyes)
Slide the cotton off of your shoulder
And feel the shine
(Feel the shine)
I'm hooked so toss me over
And cast a line
(Well, I'll try)
I'll throw a party and greet my undersea friends
(It depends)
As they arrive
(If they arrive)
You and I left our troubles far behind
(Troubles far behind)
But I still have just one more question on my mind
For all my pals who live in the oceans and the seas
With friends like these, well,
Who needs enemies?
If I'm your boy
Let's take a shortcut we remember
And we'll enjoy
Picking apples in late September like
We've done for years
Then we'll take a long walk
Through the cornfield
And I'll kiss you
Between the ears
If you're my girl
Swirl me around your room with feeling
And as we twirl
The glow in the dark stars on your ceiling
Will shine for us
As love sweeps over the room
'Cause we tend to make
Each other blush
(you make me blush)
You and I left our troubles far behind
(Troubles far behind)
But I still have just one more question on my mind
For all my pals who live in the oceans and the seas
With fronds like these, well,
Who needs anemones?
You're the bird, I'm the worm
And it's plain to see
That we were meant to be
We were meant to be
We were meant to be
(If you're the bird,
If you're the bird,
Then I'm the worm)
We were meant to be
