Lyrics:
I’m a house wren
Hunting for a house
I haven’t found one
I’m on the lookout
For a home to call my own
A private residence
Through the grapevine
I heard an empty gourd
Is hanging up somewhere
On some old lady’s porch
I’ll pack my bags and off I’ll go
To my new humble abode
I’m gonna sing
At the top of my lungs
Cuz it’s a beautiful day
I’m gonna spread my wings
Cuz as far as I know
I am halfway home
I'm a house wren
Who needs a summer home
A country farmhouse or
A quiet bungalow
Not too big, not too small
First-rate real estate
I got my eyes peeled
For a window box
An old tin can, a boot
Or a flower pot
I’ll pack my bags and off I’ll go To my new humble abode
I’m gonna sing
At the top of my lungs
Cuz it’s a beautiful day
I’m gonna spread my wings
Cuz as far as I know
I am halfway home
I’m a house wren
Still hunting for a house
But I got a song and
A lot to sing about
I’ll pack my bags and off I’ll go
Because, you know
I’m gonna sing
At the top of my lungs
Cuz it’s a beautiful day
I’m gonna spread my wings
I’m on top of the world
And it’s a beautiful thing
I’m gonna sing
At the top of my lungs
Cuz it’s a beautiful day
I’m gonna spread my wings
Cuz as far as I know
I am halfway home
I am halfway home
I am halfway home

This is totally Owl City. Who else sings about the real-estate trends of birds?
His band name is OWL city, of course he'd sing about birds
@@thelobsterlover9449 *Project. It's not a band, it's a project.
@@katarzynamysluk3801 its a one man band
@@thelobsterlover9449 r/woosh
@@doctor_whoey3857 Owl City is one of Adam Young's project among Sky Sailing, Port Blue, Adam Young Scores...
Owl city is a positive mood influencer and dream inspirer.
Heard silhouette? Lol
Yeahhhh...😁
This man is literally one of the most wholesome artists to ever live
Only one of the most? THE most!
Adam is the best singer of 2019. I dare you, I FUCKIN DARE YOU to argue with me.
@@raspberryjam3724 he's not & he never seeks to be one. he lives in his own world, he doesn't compete with others. he never really needs to anyway.
@@hanif_afa I see your point, but my personal opinion is that he is
Raspberry Jam i mean technically he’s not the best singer, but my favorite artist and it doesn’t really matter
I love the fact that he used an ACTUAL HOUSE WREN CALL in the opening! Bird nerd satisfied, love the music!

I loved that too! 😊
saaaame gave me memories
Boot: exists
Owl City: *it's free real estate*
LMAAAOO you just made my whole day and night 😂😂😂👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 Thank you for this comment💝😂💝💝
The ant has no quarrel with a boot.
Absolutely impossible to be upset while listening to this song - let’s all just take a moment to dance around and appreciate Adams beauty, ok?
Sol Studios yes sure.. peaceful song and voice ,😁
The birds chirping are the cherries on top.
alright buddy ^u^
You really do comment on every song haha :d
Jasper Surmont It’s how much I love him!
Man, people say Owl City is irrelevant but to me, all his songs are great. 👍
Adam has the unique ability to create masterpieces of songs where you can just imagine the music video without even him having to make one...The instruments, imagery, phrasing, every little detail of his music is so finely crafted into a symphony of emotion...It's just the most pleasant, pure thing to listen to, I swear
I cried on listening to this, not only because it’s so beautiful but also because it helped me recall how much I have missed Adam and his music
Same
and now there's even more amazing music such as under the circus lughts, the tornado, field notes and especially mu muse.. the last one made me cry twice!
Unofficial "Im a grown adult fresh out of college looking for my first house" theme
Can you imagine i discovered owl city today.....i was missing something special all this time....he deserves 1billion subscription
i mean, you're not wrong. also i just discovered him as well.
Me rn
been here over 10 years it only gets better
You got a lot of deep diving to do if you're going to listen to the extensive works of Adam Young.
I keep changing my mind on which of these new songs is my favorite. This one is so much fun and reminds me of your older songs too! :)
Edit: Yeah this one is my favorite haha
I know that feeling I'm stuck between Cinematic and House Wren I probably love Firebird aswell and so much more.
Either this one or Always, depending on the mood.
Didn't think I'd see you here but your songs do kinda remind me of owl city's haha so I guess it's not too much of a surprise :)
Jordan Sweeto haha I'm confused too Fiji water was my fav but now maybe house wren I'm not sure lol
Jordan you're here!!!
Did you notice that Owl City loves putting metaphors of the sky or the air in his albums and songs. Like his name Owl City and Sky sailing
Or his songs alligator sky, fireflies, kamikaze, captains of the sky and many more.
Can't forget Take to the Sky!
And ocean in his older songs
On the wing
Every song has either a water reference, a sky reference, an insomnia/sleep reference, or a astrology/space reference. And his name is partly a sky reference and partly a nod to his insomnia, which is what partly caused him to get into writing and piano, because thats how he'd spend his time awake.
This song is so cute!!
it's free real estate
Mariska McLaughlin the meme tho hahahaha
You just couldn't resist could ya?
Lmaoo no shock that Adam became a meme
Yeah
I was looking for this comment
I couldn't stop smiling while listening to this song!
Jerome Montpetit How
Will you pray❤
BEAUTIFUL MUSIC by an underrated artist.
Oh shut up, he isn't underrated, he is a legend. I love him so much, his song and how he is soo positive all the time 😑😑🥰
The part with the pan flute gives me Legend of Zelda flashbacks.
Link singing this would be hilarious.
same
Exactly
I love how he added an actual house wren song
He is a HUGE birdwatcher and lover. He even has one of those bird watching platforms. Those are recordings of the house wrens in the birdhouses outside his home ^_^
Ya his music is realaxing
1:26
That melody in the background...
So pleasing for the ears!
Last summer, I had a house wren who moved into my decorated bird house (it wasn't made for building a nest since it had three holes) anyway, the wren didn't give up and made it work! The house wren sang cause he had a family to call home and eventually we saw adorable baby wrens as they grew up fast and left their summer home to come back again next year :)
For those wondering about the backstory of this song:
"House Wren is a song about the summers I would spend at my grandparent’s house in Iowa when I was a kid. My grandfather used to hang hollowed-out vegetable gourds on the back porch and the wrens would live in them. I found myself wondering what it would be like for a house wren looking for the perfect home.”
Totally missing Adam, he's been in hiatus I hope he's going to release an Album😭
Staying up until 1AM.. but it’s all worth it when you discover OwlCity releasing a ton of new song videos!
So much to listen to. I'm just playing one song after another, trying to get through them all...
Sophie Filo Same here! I have a feeling they’ll be running through my brain all night, and that’s nothing to complain about.
Owl city is always amazing anytime :)
He’s dead
Adam young. ......A beautiful mind innocent human being exploring the whole universe changing human lifestyle. ......
"You're gonna sing at the top of your lungs"
And indeed, we're going to listen to it 😁
Hootowl
One of my favorite out of Cinematic!!
But be serious, WHO CAN PICK A FAVORITE SONG OF ADAMS?!?!?!
Any song but all my friends original lul
EXACTLY. For once in my life I said that "Bird with a Broken Wing" is my favorite Owl City songs, but in the future I was like, "Nah, who cares about favorite songs? I just enjoy Owl City like the good artist he is!"
I love all Adam's songs equally. It's too hard to pick ONE.
I hope some day will meet this man. Respect from.west Papua
This man is literally one of the most discerning artists to ever live
This song is underrated.
I wish i could have seen him in concert you can fee the passion and soul in his music! God bless him, he's one of the few inspiring singers in this world
Sadly, he never sang this song in concert AFAIK.
IM GONNA SINGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!
sing with all your heart!
At the top of my lungs cz it's a beautiful day 🎶
I'm gonna spreaaaddddd 🎶
I'm gonna spreaaaaaad my wings!
Cuz as far as I know, I am halfway home!
One of the best songs buddy
I loved this so much that I had this on loop since yesterday XD
this song was about a bird looking for a house? never realized that. I thought it was about Adam looking for a new home.
SO DID I!!
I love the intro of the song.. Its so Owl City vibes.
This is one of my Summer songs. It's so light and uplifting. I love the musicality and bounciness of the chorus
As a person with house wrens who live near him; I can attest to the fact that this song is actually a short autobiography.
when I heard this song for the first time I had goosebumps the size of mount everest and my brain just exploded like what is this kind of magic
Ine Youre Reaction is Kind a cute 😊😊 Hoot Owl City!!
Same
I listen to it almost everyday
same. awesome song
it cures depression.
adam young was my childhood savior
without him I couldn’t even sleep
|LEGEND|
saver**
Probably best song from the album.
AyyMJeyy Agreed! So happy, quirky, charming, little bit of cleverness put in there. Magic.
Update:
Cinematic, New York City, Fiji water are my fav
But this one is cute
Been with Owl City for a decade and I can say, I always love him.
Hello 🖐️
"It's a beautiful day" is exactly the same tune from his song Clap Your Hands! This is absolutely my favorite!
Jacob Laurenzana. I know right
He can sing about anything and its awesome!! Love Owl City!!🤗🤗🤗
I'm a House Wren, who needs a summer home!! ADAMS THE MAN TO GO TO :)
Owl City makes my heart so happy!
When i heard the whisle i knew that i am going to like this song
Is that harmonica (or a sound like harmonica) at the end, that cajun/louisiana style sound? For some reason I find that very satisfying as well. :)
I think it might be an accordion.
Yeah it's an accordion
How come this song is only having 200k views. We need to discourage new age porn music and promote real music like this.
This is the first new song I've heard, and I haven't stopped smiling for a solid three minutes
I love owl city so much
"As far as I know, I am halfway home...." It hits me on such an emotional level. His music is powerfully uplifting.
Up at 1:39 AM and listening to this makes me feel so inspired.
Owl City, thank you. you are so amazing and your songs are looping through my head every second of my life. Your songs have always been a part of my life and I just cant believe how amazing they are. They can be silly sometimes, but they are so deep and I love them. Please keep it up.
His song always take me to a dreamworld
Talking about a birb searching where to build house :)
Adam is the true artist
OMFG love this song so much. Helped me out of a really bad spot. Thank you, Adam Young for this life-saving song, and thank you God for this life-saving man.
such a happy little song, love it :D
so relaxing ❤💛💜💙💚💛💜
I know! It’s so upbeat and gives you energy, but also relaxes you. His music is magic. Thankfully he still has a lot to sing about! 😁
You say dat
Mirror Piano hi
I didn't know english can be this beautiful. Wow
Hearing this just makes me so happy
Never really sat down and imagined the life of a house wren. Adam has a million and one ways to take you away, so in love with this.
electric guitar + actual house wren song = a legendary song
Woah! I'm vibing to this one. So uplifting ❤
Its official. I come to Owl City for some peace and inspiration.
In case you've ever wondered: I'm pretty sure this song is a metaphor for how we go through our live here on earth, but our real home is in Heaven, beside Jesus. That is our true home, but until then, we wonder and wander and enjoy the journey, using our talents and gifts to spread joy along the way.
True artist!!
I totally love these guys... Who'd have thought a Zimbabwean a thousand miles away sitting in Botswana would be taken into the deepest depths of bird real estate and giving me ideas on future endeavours...
God bless your souls OwlCity... ❤❤❤
This song inspires me to live a happy meaningful life. It inspires someone to go out into the anventure of a wonderful life.
I love how Adam can just make me smile :)
LEGEND
I feels like im gona fly by listen to this beauty song of adam
I can easily see this becoming one of favorites
IM SCREAMING
this is one of my favorite tracks from cinematic!!! i have no idea how to describe the feeling it gives me, but i love it so much
This song is so chill 😍
This song makes me smile.
We need so many prayers at Nashville Rescue Mission for woman ❤❤❤
My bird loves this song. When I pause this she starts squawking, and also, she likes to sing along with it
I feel like a wren listening to this. Free to travel anywhere, looking for shelter and enjoying jolly freedom.
Yes! What a great song Adam!! Reminds me a lot of some of your older stuff!!! Love it!!!!
What a joyful song!!
I love all the songs, but this one is so catchy. The ending is whimsical and gets stuck in my head so easily. I am beyond happy with this album.
This song makes me feel so euphoric. :) I especially love that little bit at the end with the pan flute and the accordion!
...been jamming on this track since it came out. To this day, I still sing "I am a half way home"
Idc what anyone says this is just as magical as maybe I’m dreaming
Bless this amazing dude for putting lyrics in the description unlike most artists 💕💕
My Jam
i really really love this in a way i havent loved one of his songs for a long time. it combines elements of his old albums that i thought were lost forever and its really beautiful to hear them combined with his new modern pop take
Owl city realised us that the life is so beautiful
Adam Young is truly the John Keats of Music. Love his Nature and Adventurous Lyrics. One's imagination takes flight when you listen to such beautiful songs. It's exhilarating.
Love this song so much 💕!!!
2021 this song still going
I love how Adam incorporated all the musical nuances and styling from midsummer station and mobile orchestra!!! Cinema is a masterpiece!! Thank you adam
This song lift up my mood 😌 very nice
My new favorite song! I love the ending great job Adam
I'm always depressed and sad. I accept who I am but there always times I can't handle things and my illness makes me not functional. But whenever I hear Adam's music, my heart is happy.
i love this song!! such poetic and peculiar lyrics!!
Peculiar? Well, who knows, maybe he is a Peculiar...
Searching for a new loop...
finally i know in my heart that am Halfway home
A house wren looking for a house in a city of owls
Thank you Adam. I can’t imagine waking up in a world where you don’t exist. And I don’t want to imagine what I would be in this world.
