Lynz Munich I was just about to say that. A bit disappointing in my opinion. Well, in terms of a "new" Owl City song. But, it's still a nice song. Not a lot of good graduation songs around, so there's that! :D
TheFairy39 ...stop. I mean...I know you love me.. But sometimes I just need to hear it. "Ditto" doesn't say that to me.. (if you get this reference, you will have my utmost respect)
I feel so sentimental listening to this song just less than a month and a half from my graduation. My whole senior year was online and hearing this lyrics really touched me. I wish the best for the class of 2021 and future generations to come. 🎓
Everytime I listen to this song, I get emotional. I'm a senior this year. My graduation year is 2022. I'm finally a senior and I honestly can not believe I'm almost done. I'm excited yet terrified at the same time. I can already envision myself on the stage, teary eyed and smiling. I have a feeling I'm going to cry a lot this year, since I'm also in marching band. These lyrics hit so amazingly. I don't think it will hit me that I'm a senior.
this is so sad listening if you’re graduating in 2020 :( i’m so sorry for all you seniors right now i cannot feel how you do but i hope you guys will do well :)
every time i hear this song i burst into tears knowing i'll be out of school this year and im not ready i wanna be a kid again. I'm wanting time to slow down soon i'll have a job that i'm stuck with and with a wife and kids and stuff i'm not ready for. I wanna relive my childhood.
This song goes beyond graduation. It's the definition of every pivotal moment in our lives. Having graduated, the only way this song relates to me is the thought of finally receiving a copy of my novel in paperback, sent to me by my publisher. That would be the day I'm on the verge.
To the class of 2020, I know these are hard odd times but that doesn’t change that you have come so far! Take risks, take chances, and give it your all! Believe in yourself! Spread those wings and take flight ~ from a class of 2019 graduate
Full Lyrics of song. I ain't too sure what I believe in. But I believe in what I see. And when I close my eyes, I see the whole life ahead of me! These are our hours! (3x) -This is our time!

(Freestyle) Edge of the earth, and were touching the sky tonight, Out on the verge, for the rest of our li-i-ives! If anyone has seen my comment, Thank you.
I’ve been listening to this song for like three years and I never looked at the lyrics so I always thought they were saying “these are our owls” and today I looked at them and it says “these are our hours” and I’m just like 😐😂
I graduated 9 years ago this year and the nostalgia hits hearing this. To all the seniors graduating when you read this, congratulations, you guys earned this. It's gonna fly by before you know it😢
my graduation was today... I spent 10 years of my life spending a lot of time with people I didnt really like, but I learnt to appreciate them in the end. Now im sad because i didnt know that im not going to wear my uniform anymore or maybe even see some of them again. I needed that feeling of closure, but i wont have it. But that's okay. We'll get through it. (sorry for my english❤️)
Mine is this week. I also feel you at the part where you said you needed that feeling of closure, like seeing your friends for the last time before you proceed to college. Kinda sad actually.
Fast, reliable, adorable God yato I agree with the making your day part. If you look back to This Isn't the End, there was a guy who was thinking about suiciding, but Adam's songs made him happy, and made him rethink his life! Still thinking about ya dude!
Faiz Amirullah i think he has put a song on that he didnt think was good enough when ocean eyes came out on this new album. ut i do know he is trying to do different things with his music which is nice but i do still think ocean eyes and maybe im dreaming are still my favorite albums
It's crazy I started habitually listening to OC when I was young, and for him to drop this the year I graduated just was another reminder this is my favorite artist.
I used to be the biggest Owl City fan, but after he released the midsummer station everything evolved so much that it just isn't the same. I remember laying on the beach listening to Of June and Maybe I'm Dreaming. His old music tranced me so much and gave me a feeling of being truly alive. It just doesn't even compare anymore and I think that any Owl City fan would agree with me. Adam Young's old music gave me more vivid visualizations as I listened to it. This new stuff is background noise to me. Adam, stop featuring people and go back to your good days!
Before I used to listen to this song excited to graduate but now that the time is here I can’t listen to this without getting emotional. Wow it’s just crazy how life goes by so fast and I’m honestly so proud of everyone and myself for making it this far it wasn’t easy.
+Rana Kamikaze Don't rush it! High school can be some of the most memorable and amazing times if you make it! I am in my 20's and I still miss high school!!
being a night owl sure comes in handy when you're an adam fan! he always releases stuff at night. i don't like the lyrics, generic drum beat, or aloe blacc. but i like the synth a lot! sounds like salad basket.
From the moment this song came out I’ve been so excreted for my senior year, to finally have my moment out on the verge and it just hurts. Everything I’ve been looking forward to has been ruined. I’m so sorry to those in the class of 2020. And as a member of the class of 2021 I can’t help but wonder how amazing this time could have been for us. So if anyone come across this comment who is in the same situation as me, let’s just take a minute to grieve and acknowledge the pain. I only pray that we can all grow from this and try to make the most of what time we have left.
While the song is pretty generic for Owl City, and that does sadden me a bit, I think people are being TOO harsh on it. It isnt the best but it isn't awful. It's a pretty simple little song, nice to listen to. I can imagine it being on the radio. (This is coming from a long time fan btw)
Yeah, it's not like Adam suddenly made a song like Anaconda or shit like that, then we have a reason to be angry. Most of his songs are meaningfull (why not all, search 'the grizzly' 'coca-cola' without the quote, but that is tolerable knowing that it was a long time ago).
Tyra P i'm one of his long time fans too, and to be honest i don't like the way his music is progressing lately. i'm not angry though. i know i shouldn't be. he's the artist, he makes his music, but don't blame me if i don't like his music all that much anymore. i still listen to his earlier music a lot. back in the days of sky sailing up to all things bright and beautiful.
I don't know why I've never heard this song in the hitlists, it's AMAZING! So much better than all the other songs in the hitlists about drinks, drugs and stuff. Well, I guess it's just because I live in Belgium.
After i heard this i was fucking happy about myself and it's one hell of a song it gave me some epic goosebumps and when i went down to the comments i expected good recations but people are always complaining common guys just stop comparing old songs to this or generics just enjoy things when they are beautiful and stop compare them to things that are better. thanks for this wonderful song.
Each time I go to a convention, I turn on this song. Each time I have a good day, I turn on this song. And now, it’s time to live my life to the fullest with this song. After graduating, I finally get to see my partner who lives 5 states away, I get to go places I’ve never been. And I’m happy. This song has inspired me to do many things. I’m proud of everyone who’s graduating tonight! 💙
Jeez, I just heard a very great song, then I look down on the comments to see people rejoice, but all I see is people saying Adam's new songs aren't as good as his past ones, and they feel to "generic". Am I the only one who likes all of Adam's songs? Without any sort of disappointment?
ChocoOwl Honestly, most of the "old school" OC fans have been terribly disappointed since the Shooting Star EP. His style changed from imaginative and original to generic and, honestly, boringly mainstream pop-ish. I dislike the transition, but I have high hopes that one day Adam will be able to/wants to create something akin to the pre-ST songs and albums.
OrbitalAxis Yeah, maybe you're right. Actually, I became a fan of Owl City because of the Midsummer Station. I first heard him when Fireflies was popular, but I wasn't a fan of music at that time. I like pop songs that aren't about sex, drugs, and ass. When I heard Shooting Star, it made me want to hear more. So I discovered Owl City and fell in love with his music, whether it be current or old.
***** i'm a fan since Of June, and the truth is that I like the first songs, as the latest. Perhaps because Adam makes the music is something special even the most pop songs. I really respect the work of Adam, as different opinions, but some do not respect all that entails producing music.
***** In fact, I never denied that the Adam style of music has not changed, the change was quite drastic, even when I first heard Shooting Stars, I had doubts. But if that is the style that Owl City take from now on, that's fine. I'm not the one to judge since it is decision to Adam if your music will be pop sounds, country, or returns to its classic style, etc. Who knows ... maybe in the not too distant future, back to the music that most of the "old fans" want. :)
Class of 2K19! I'm going to get emotional when I walk across that stage, thinking about all the hard work I have done within the 4 years of high school. I've grown to love and appreciate the teachers I've had each year. I learn from them! Graduating high school will have such an impact on me when the time comes. CLASS OF 2K19 ALL THE WAY!!!
Man.... Where's the heart..? The catchy beat and lyrics..? The whole song is a chorus.. If this is the future of Owl City then I don't know.. I guess we still have 8 songs to look forward to.
Dylan Thomsen Mhm. Like I tell all the others, hopefully as Adam gets older and starts to see his retirement, he might reach out to his old fans and give us something we all remember. For now though, remember to still support him Dylan, if you can. He might be back someday. :)
Dylan Thomsen Of course, Mr. Thomsen. I agree with, you. This project, Owl City, is going too generic. There is some big losses in Adam's songs, especially in their last album (Midsummer Station). We talk about the deep & meaningful lyrics, unique song arrangements, and so on that could make me listen to their song all day long without ever feeling bored. This is not the Owl City I ever knew, and not the one that I like. Hope we get something's classic in Mobile Orchestra.
Dylan Thomsen Adam said he is going to try new things but i think he has put a song that was going to be on ocean eyes but didnt think it was good enough to be put on there on this album.
***** I'm aware, its one of my favorites! But I personally dont hear any Meteor Shower in Verge. I said Shooting Star because the intro line from Shooting star is the same as the intro guitar line here on Verge, just a note or two difference :) Been a fan of Adam for years, love his stuff!
It's finally my time to be on the verge. I made it to my senior year. I mostly fought and clawed my way through my junior year. I was extremely depressed and had many thoughts of ending it all every day but I'm here and so are all you reading this. I made it. You can too. Hopefully I keep living and seeing the good in life. I discovered a passion for writing stories and I aspire to publish one day. So here's to the rest of our LONG lives. Look how far we came and how far we can go. At this moment, I hope I see many more years and I hope to continue fighting onwards. Good luck to my fellow seniors. We're on the verge
I wish graduation wasn't so far away from me. This would be perfect. I remember when I first heard this in like 7th grade and I wanted to be a senior already. Class of 2022!!
@@slitheryyysnakeee4845 reading this right now… completely forgetting I ever listened to this, and I’m a senior in high school! Seeing your comment was enough to bring tears to my eyes because god damn this song really hits hard. Thank you!!! I hope you have a good rest of your life too :)
@@benitocervantes2478 your comment also brought tears to my eyes holy shit. i’m so glad i helped you find this song again ! i’m just one year infront of you :) class of 2023 !
This was our graduation song in my senior highschool graduation, it is so nostalgic whenever I listen to this song it reminds me of my happy and painful journey in highschool, I always listen to this song to escape the reality that I'm getting older and that the real world is scary and dangerous 💖
All I could think... "When I'm dressed to the nines, I'm just a shirt and tie... With a taste for prestige, AND BEAUTIFUL MYSTERY!" Out on the Verge and we're dressed to the nines tonight... Yup! Definitely can see myself playing this song as a Throwback for my College graduation 😂
Yeah, Owl City is changing, But for me, that's totally OK, I don't expect any artist I know to stay the same. It's unreasonable to ask that. This song is like Good Time for me, not the GREATEST, but if I hear it on the radio, I'm still going to cheer because it's Owl City I hope the songs are the Album are good, because I'm going to buy them :3 Love you Adam.
For us, both events are only for the 12th graders, but the prom is held on a seperate day from the graduation (just a couple days apart). Butthe prom is technically still our graduation.I know many schools do it differently, though.
Three weeks, and I'm officially out of school. Knowing that, and hearing this song, this hits hard. I'm on the verge of the rest of my life, and I can't wait for it.
This song came out just before my first child was born. For me this song is/was about graduating my single life and about venturing into the rest of my life as a mother.
Class of 2020? I decided to listen to this as one of the first songs entering into 2020! Can't really believe I will graduate from high school eleven months from now! Good luck to all!!
I live in the bahamas where there is primary school(kinder-6) and then high school. Today I just graduated primary school woot woot!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :))))))
AVA Just Definitely agree. Will always be an Owl City fan, but his recent stuff has left me feeling a bit cold. OE and ATBAB were just gorgeous though.
Sigh why people cant just simply accept the fact that adam wants to experiment with new stuffs -_- i really do love the sound of maybe im dreaming or ocean eyes... but as an artist, at one point you'll find yourself dying to try something new. I admit the midsummer station sounds a bit too mainstream, but man... verge sounds so much better. New but still has the usual OC sound #dealwithit
Because we know how talented Adam is and can see the huge differences in what he's doing in contrast to what we first loved him for. To see the genius who wrote vanilla twilight do this, is severely disappointing. He never wrote songs for a demographic or event (graduation), he wrote songs that came out of his heart.
Well, maybe you'll like the rest of the album. I suggest looking on the owl city website and going to bio, it really explains how each song goes into a different "rabbit hole" on Mobile Orchestra. If you don't like this rabbit hole, maybe another song on the album will be better in your opinion
I didn't must care for the co singer...here's hoping we get a co-singerless version like alligator sky as a bonus track. The lyrics weren't as full of substance as others of his. Still was okay.
Mokriška Ná Eventually that part won't bug me at all after listening to it for a bunch of times, but I'm still gonna love this song so I really can't stay bugged about it :P
Am I the only one bothered by the super fake-o whistling part? Don't get me wrong, it's a phenomenal song and I believe it marks the next big step in the whole Owl City thing. But that part would've been sooo much better if it were an actual human whistling instead of a computer.

This is so good 👍 BRB listening to this for the rest of today now
***** Rapha you are everywhere, lol ily
I agree my friend!
Lol well hello there Rapha! 😉
***** my nephew tyler is graduating out of highschool today early he made it he got all a's in all his classes and got a a on all tests =D
***** you won't "be right back" then :P
Is it just me or does this remind you of wolf bite and shooting star combined?
Great song btw
Lynz Munich
I was just about to say that. A bit disappointing in my opinion.
Well, in terms of a "new" Owl City song. But, it's still a nice song.
Not a lot of good graduation songs around, so there's that! :D
Lynz Munich Exactly what I thought!
Lynz Munich Well, that's the first single rule. Not too artsy, and a little edging to the mainstream waters. It's how any album sells. :D
Lynz Munich yep that's what I thought too on the first listen
Lynz Munich And fireflies :P
When im living my life to the fullest this is the song I'll remember.
Ditto
TheFairy39 ...stop. I mean...I know you love me.. But sometimes I just need to hear it. "Ditto" doesn't say that to me.. (if you get this reference, you will have my utmost respect)
I hope you still do
Let me just say; YES.
Oo Hannah
Its gonna be AWESOME!!!
I knew you'd be here, Hannah. I love this song!
We are the LPSTuber Night Owls! :D
OMD Hi Hannah XD
It sounds like Shooting Star and Wolf Bite had a baby
Evan Edinger LOL
Evan Edinger Yeah indeed, the first few seconds sound exactly like Shooting star!
Evan Edinger same things i thought
This is exactly what I thought too. xD
And to the sky their 5th cousin
This was just voted as my school's 2k16 senior song, and I couldn't be happier ❤️❤️❤️
Can't wait to jam to this song as we all toss our caps up on Saturday at graduation ❤️✨
+Cat Gregg how was it?!!
+Jesse Deluca It was perfect ❤️ I shed a tear haha (:
This song was used at my school too, for the 8th graders' graduation.
Cat Gregg my school used this song for graduation 🎓
To all the students who were supposed to have the time of their lives graduating this year, this one's for you.

Fully agreeing with you :/
Irina Atanasiu ikr
Im only in Yr 9 and i get the feels imagining seeing my friends for the last time and running off to University. Its scary
Trust me, I had that feeling too. But after all, I liked it so much more after graduation. It is the time where you'll change a lot.

If only there was a City for Night Owls like us... ;D lols
If you are in US.
Night owls rule
Same, the lyrics aren't as good as usual but his voice and the synth is amazing
From the moment this song came out I’ve been so excreted for my senior year, to finally have my moment out on the verge and it just hurts. Everything I’ve been looking forward to has been ruined. I’m so sorry to those in the class of 2020. And as a member of the class of 2021 I can’t help but wonder how amazing this time could have been for us. So if anyone come across this comment who is in the same situation as me, let’s just take a minute to grieve and acknowledge the pain. I only pray that we can all grow from this and try to make the most of what time we have left.
While the song is pretty generic for Owl City, and that does sadden me a bit, I think people are being TOO harsh on it. It isnt the best but it isn't awful. It's a pretty simple little song, nice to listen to. I can imagine it being on the radio. (This is coming from a long time fan btw)
THANK YOU
Tyra P EXACTLY
Yeah, it's not like Adam suddenly made a song like Anaconda or shit like that, then we have a reason to be angry. Most of his songs are meaningfull (why not all, search 'the grizzly' 'coca-cola' without the quote, but that is tolerable knowing that it was a long time ago).
Gina Mirage well since angry is technically an opinion, we are allowed to do that.
Tyra P i'm one of his long time fans too, and to be honest i don't like the way his music is progressing lately. i'm not angry though. i know i shouldn't be. he's the artist, he makes his music, but don't blame me if i don't like his music all that much anymore. i still listen to his earlier music a lot. back in the days of sky sailing up to all things bright and beautiful.
I don't know why I've never heard this song in the hitlists, it's AMAZING! So much better than all the other songs in the hitlists about drinks, drugs and stuff. Well, I guess it's just because I live in Belgium.
I agree!! Loving the beat of it! Fun workout song as well!
+Detective K What the.. You haven't even heard Deer on the headlights? Or, honey bee? Or.. Uh, Vanilla Twilight?.. ORR, oka.. Ima stop now..
And.. Sorry.. xD It isn't a band.. It's a singer.. I'm waay to obsessed..

(High school) Class of 2019, get ready!
Well, we r in quarantine
@@maeee9287 yea, and we got nothing else to do than just contemplate are past experiences.
Ur lucky to had been a 2019 grad before the pandemic.
It feels like I was in high school a life time ago. This song is pretty nostalgic and really captures the emotions of graduating :)
After i heard this i was fucking happy about myself and it's one hell of a song it gave me some epic goosebumps and when i went down to the comments i expected good recations but people are always complaining common guys just stop comparing old songs to this or generics just enjoy things when they are beautiful and stop compare them to things that are better. thanks for this wonderful song.
couldn't say better
+jo pi yeah..thanks
+Ilyas La welcome to the internet, good sir
+Ilyas La BOROS
nice bro
This song was played during our graduation and I had no idea who sang this. Glad this magically appeared on my feed.
Each time I go to a convention, I turn on this song. Each time I have a good day, I turn on this song. And now, it’s time to live my life to the fullest with this song. After graduating, I finally get to see my partner who lives 5 states away, I get to go places I’ve never been. And I’m happy. This song has inspired me to do many things. I’m proud of everyone who’s graduating tonight! 💙
Jeez, I just heard a very great song, then I look down on the comments to see people rejoice, but all I see is people saying Adam's new songs aren't as good as his past ones, and they feel to "generic". Am I the only one who likes all of Adam's songs? Without any sort of disappointment?
ChocoOwl I feel that Owl City has matured over time, but that has not stopped me from liking his music.
ChocoOwl Honestly, most of the "old school" OC fans have been terribly disappointed since the Shooting Star EP. His style changed from imaginative and original to generic and, honestly, boringly mainstream pop-ish. I dislike the transition, but I have high hopes that one day Adam will be able to/wants to create something akin to the pre-ST songs and albums.
OrbitalAxis Yeah, maybe you're right. Actually, I became a fan of Owl City because of the Midsummer Station. I first heard him when Fireflies was popular, but I wasn't a fan of music at that time. I like pop songs that aren't about sex, drugs, and ass. When I heard Shooting Star, it made me want to hear more. So I discovered Owl City and fell in love with his music, whether it be current or old.
***** i'm a fan since Of June, and the truth is that I like the first songs, as the latest. Perhaps because Adam makes the music is something special even the most pop songs.
I really respect the work of Adam, as different opinions, but some do not respect all that entails producing music.
***** In fact, I never denied that the Adam style of music has not changed, the change was quite drastic, even when I first heard Shooting Stars, I had doubts.
But if that is the style that Owl City take from now on, that's fine. I'm not the one to judge since it is decision to Adam if your music will be pop sounds, country, or returns to its classic style, etc.
Who knows ... maybe in the not too distant future, back to the music that most of the "old fans" want. :)
I’ve just graduated with a masters in arts. I started my university journey when this song came out in 2013. Thank you Owl City for the motivation. 🖤
Class of 2K19! I'm going to get emotional when I walk across that stage, thinking about all the hard work I have done within the 4 years of high school. I've grown to love and appreciate the teachers I've had each year. I learn from them! Graduating high school will have such an impact on me when the time comes. CLASS OF 2K19 ALL THE WAY!!!
FINALLY SOMEONE WHO APPRECIATES THEIR TEACHERS 😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂😭😂😭😂😭😂
Yes Kenny Tran! I know what that's like because I graduated in 2K19
This our graduation song last year and I miss them so much, we treated each other like family..
we sang this song on our graduation day ☺ it's perfect!
Man.... Where's the heart..? The catchy beat and lyrics..? The whole song is a chorus.. If this is the future of Owl City then I don't know.. I guess we still have 8 songs to look forward to.
Dylan Thomsen Mhm. Like I tell all the others, hopefully as Adam gets older and starts to see his retirement, he might reach out to his old fans and give us something we all remember. For now though, remember to still support him Dylan, if you can. He might be back someday. :)
agentx114567 I remember reading somewhere that some songs were written a long time ago but didn't fit into the albums he has
Dylan Thomsen Of course, Mr. Thomsen. I agree with, you. This project, Owl City, is going too generic. There is some big losses in Adam's songs, especially in their last album (Midsummer Station). We talk about the deep & meaningful lyrics, unique song arrangements, and so on that could make me listen to their song all day long without ever feeling bored. This is not the Owl City I ever knew, and not the one that I like. Hope we get something's classic in Mobile Orchestra.
Totally agree, kinda disappointed :(
Dylan Thomsen Adam said he is going to try new things but i think he has put a song that was going to be on ocean eyes but didnt think it was good enough to be put on there on this album.
I got a Meteor Shower-ish feel from this song.
By the way, awesome concert in Manila! You were really great!
Luigi Esparas I think you mean Shooting Star :)
***** I'm aware, its one of my favorites! But I personally dont hear any Meteor Shower in Verge. I said Shooting Star because the intro line from Shooting star is the same as the intro guitar line here on Verge, just a note or two difference :) Been a fan of Adam for years, love his stuff!
Luigi Esparas Meteor Shower-ish feel? o.o Which part of it gives you that feel? I feel like I'm missing out something o.o
Luigi Esparas Me too, I think I hear some Wolfbite on the instrumental part.
He had a concert on manila?!?! When?!?
Just saw him play this live as the intro in Lancaster PA. Gave me chills. Definitely my favorite intro to a show ever.
This deserves so much more views!
Mothers Day Trailer! Thank you for introducing me to this song.
true
Yeah, that's where I'm from I've been trying to find this song for so long.
yeah i kn ow
Same here :)
samee
It's finally my time to be on the verge. I made it to my senior year. I mostly fought and clawed my way through my junior year. I was extremely depressed and had many thoughts of ending it all every day but I'm here and so are all you reading this. I made it. You can too. Hopefully I keep living and seeing the good in life. I discovered a passion for writing stories and I aspire to publish one day. So here's to the rest of our LONG lives. Look how far we came and how far we can go. At this moment, I hope I see many more years and I hope to continue fighting onwards. Good luck to my fellow seniors. We're on the verge
I wish graduation wasn't so far away from me. This would be perfect. I remember when I first heard this in like 7th grade and I wanted to be a senior already. Class of 2022!!
3 years later, i hope your graduation goes well next year !
@@slitheryyysnakeee4845 reading this right now… completely forgetting I ever listened to this, and I’m a senior in high school! Seeing your comment was enough to bring tears to my eyes because god damn this song really hits hard. Thank you!!! I hope you have a good rest of your life too :)
@@benitocervantes2478 your comment also brought tears to my eyes holy shit. i’m so glad i helped you find this song again ! i’m just one year infront of you :) class of 2023 !
Holy shit time flies
HOPE YOU HAVE AN AMAZING GRADUATION! 🥺❤️
This was one of the songs for my graduation. Miss the old days when everything was great and everyone was happy
8 YEARS OLD?! ALREADY?! IM CRYING...
I've been looking for this every since I saw that netflix advert xD
LOL ME TO 😃

This was our graduation song in my senior highschool graduation, it is so nostalgic whenever I listen to this song it reminds me of my happy and painful journey in highschool, I always listen to this song to escape the reality that I'm getting older and that the real world is scary and dangerous 💖
Omfg this was the song we used when we graduated 6th grade before I moved. Manee I might be a senior now but this shit brings back memories😩😞🤧
I sang this song of my 5th grade graduation 😭 I’m in 8th grade now :,) I’m heading to HighSchool damn..
-Jackie- :p word of advice focus on school make friends and be happy last one shoot for the stars the sky’s the limit
damn I commented ts 4 years ago💀you did it lil bro, finally graduated 🙏🏼
*This song hits different after you've graduated* ❤
All I could think... "When I'm dressed to the nines, I'm just a shirt and tie... With a taste for prestige, AND BEAUTIFUL MYSTERY!" Out on the Verge and we're dressed to the nines tonight... Yup! Definitely can see myself playing this song as a Throwback for my College graduation 😂
ElectroLove44 Beautiful Mystery and Paper tigers were marvels *mouth salivating*
This song was released one year before my graduation, and years later, graduated, I still feel I’m on the verge of what I’m going to do with my life.
This HAS to be played at my college graduation!
Yeah, Owl City is changing,
But for me, that's totally OK, I don't expect any artist I know to stay the same.
It's unreasonable to ask that.
This song is like Good Time for me, not the GREATEST, but if I hear it on the radio, I'm still going to cheer because it's Owl City
I hope the songs are the Album are good, because I'm going to buy them :3
Love you Adam.
I totally want this song to play at my prom, when I graduate! :D
those are two separate events prom is a mid year dance for grade 11 and 12 an graduation for seniors just sayin
For us, both events are only for the 12th graders, but the prom is held on a seperate day from the graduation (just a couple days apart). Butthe prom is technically still our graduation.I know many schools do it differently, though.
This Message for Owl city, I hope you start doing more songs for us because your songs changed our life for the better.
how it must feel to be young and hopeful
how it must feel to be old and desolate...
+Bensimoewa You people give it too much thought, you know your regrets. Enough with that, you need to see past that life.
+lendial You can be hopeful at any age!
Mr. chair give what too much thought XD
idk,don't ask this generation cuz this generation is just on phones
Three weeks, and I'm officially out of school. Knowing that, and hearing this song, this hits hard.
I'm on the verge of the rest of my life, and I can't wait for it.
This song came out just before my first child was born. For me this song is/was about graduating my single life and about venturing into the rest of my life as a mother.
I sang this in my fifth grade graduation...I’m back to listen to it...couldn’t be happier :,)
We are using this for our graduation song
MxlkyWayz congrats :)
MxlkyWayz us too
MxlkyWayz except for grade 6
MxlkyWayz Lol same but we have already finished off to high school
Guys idk if anyone's gonna see this but I was listening to this today and I'm so excited Owl City will drop a new album this year!!! 💙💙💙
I can see this getting popular fast. Awesome song! =)
Mark Hawk I know! I'm a big fan of Owl City.
Mark Hawk My favorite's probably Galaxies.
Mark Hawk Yes Galaxies is a good one! And yes You're Not Alone is really good too!
@@JerTheGeek whoa 7years ago comments :))
@@owlcityforever3940 This is quite the throwback! Thank you for bringing me back to this!
I have been listening to this song for 8 years and I just realized that the same person sings wake me up🤯
Class of 2020?
I decided to listen to this as one of the first songs entering into 2020!
Can't really believe I will graduate from high school eleven months from now!
Good luck to all!!
TheFifthHour good luck to you!
I doubt we'll get a graduation ceremony.... thanks corona
Congrats!!
Dang pal. I know with what's going on right now some things are a little unexpected, and even though I don't know you, I'm proud of you!! 🏅
Now I've graduated from high school. End of Year 12!
class of 2018 🎉🎉
Congrats 🎉🎉
Class of 2015 here. I'm going into my sophomore year of college. Time flies
I can feel my bones tingling.
This song is destined to be radio-food.
I live in the bahamas where there is primary school(kinder-6) and then high school. Today I just graduated primary school woot woot!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :))))))
I have the same schooling system here in Quebec XD
i graduated high school around 2 months ago too in the United States, Next step college in 2 weeks
We've played this music in our senior high school graduation in the Philippines ❤
Well, at least we had Ocean Eyes.
ATBAB was pretty awesome too. I'm not a huge fan of this newer stuff, but I'm optimistic about the new album!
Yeah, I like ATBAB and OE more than the later stuff. I still kinda like it though.
AVA Just Definitely agree. Will always be an Owl City fan, but his recent stuff has left me feeling a bit cold. OE and ATBAB were just gorgeous though.
I would give the rest of the album a chance
I agree with Brian. I'll still get his new album though, i'm really excited to hear new stuff!!
mothers day trailer broght me here and its the most amazing song ever
+Davina Imane Honestly it is !
+Davina Imane The movie Miracles From Heaven brought me here.
I'm crying, this song is so beautiful
Listening to this on New Years Eve right when midnight hit! :D
Sigh why people cant just simply accept the fact that adam wants to experiment with new stuffs -_- i really do love the sound of maybe im dreaming or ocean eyes... but as an artist, at one point you'll find yourself dying to try something new. I admit the midsummer station sounds a bit too mainstream, but man... verge sounds so much better. New but still has the usual OC sound
#dealwithit
THANK YOU. so much.
Because we know how talented Adam is and can see the huge differences in what he's doing in contrast to what we first loved him for. To see the genius who wrote vanilla twilight do this, is severely disappointing. He never wrote songs for a demographic or event (graduation), he wrote songs that came out of his heart.
Well, maybe you'll like the rest of the album. I suggest looking on the owl city website and going to bio, it really explains how each song goes into a different "rabbit hole" on Mobile Orchestra. If you don't like this rabbit hole, maybe another song on the album will be better in your opinion
sherlen lvn Too bad it sounds almost exactly like many of his other recent songs. Down to some specifics.
That isn't "trying something new."
sherlen lvn Ew, Verge sounds awful, Maybe I'm Dreaming sounds majestic, Ocean Eyes is beautiful, and everything else IS AMAZING
I’m in 5th grade, and June is my graduation. Our school voted The Verge for one of our graduation songs!So congrats!!!
Enjoy Highschool bro. Trust me, you’ll miss it when it ends. Take it from a 2022 graduate
Owl city is doing an amazing job
I didn't must care for the co singer...here's hoping we get a co-singerless version like alligator sky as a bonus track. The lyrics weren't as full of substance as others of his. Still was okay.
Mokriška Ná Sadly, the bonus tracks are previously released songs.
Gotta say I like it better when the featured artist doesn't start the song off.
Tikibird79 Me too. But well we nagged him so he can do whatever he wants to get back to us for nagging! xD
Mokriška Ná Eventually that part won't bug me at all after listening to it for a bunch of times, but I'm still gonna love this song so I really can't stay bugged about it :P
Mokriška Ná This co-singer doesn't sound like he sounds in an Owl City song at all. I miss Breanne Duren, Matt Thiessen, Lights etc.
such a beautiful song, melody everything!! Imagine a world without Owl city!
I just graduated and decided to come back to this song after first hearing it during my Freshman Year☺️
Everyone’s talking about graduation, and honestly I feel it too, but this sounds like such a great end credits song
props to the person who edited this sick lyric video!!
This is a very inspirational song to make every second of your life worth it
So it's a song about graduation and stepping up to the next step to the future of our lives. Right?
Omg yes!!! Im dieing! Can't wait for the next chapter Adam!
This brings back year 6 memories 👩🏼🎓
Graduated highschool four days ago, moving out of my parents' tomorrow-- I feel out on the verge for sure
wish you luck comrade!! 😉😉😉😉
- who's listening this January 2017? HAHA me ♥ still one of the best song for me :)
nashies_ bhaby me
nashies_ bhaby march already :p
March
nashies_ bhaby 2018 😂
I had no idea this song was about graduation, I just opened it by chance and I am graduating next Saturday!!! feels so good 😸
Am I the only one bothered by the super fake-o whistling part?
Don't get me wrong, it's a phenomenal song and I believe it marks the next big step in the whole Owl City thing.
But that part would've been sooo much better if it were an actual human whistling instead of a computer.
Wyntrr_End Actual human whistling can never be as strong, it'd get drowned out
You could always just up the volume on the whistling, though, right?
Yeah, good point! Or even layering it. Maybe it just sounds more punchy this way??
Maybe. But now that I think about it, an actual whistle might sound out of place with the whole electronic feel of the song.
Yeah good point!
