this hit me hard. with an alcoholic father it's hard to know when all the pain will end. thank you for making such an emotional song i guess? i really connected to it on a personal level.
I have dealt with a similar situation with my father. I've always loved owl city, but this is really special to me because the situation hits so close to home.
McKenna Nalow as soon as owl city sang the he said he loved her and then he was gone part i was like wow that happened to me i connected with this whole song thanks owl city
My dad never did anything to make sure I was OK. This song hit my heart, and hit it hard. I'm crying like a baby right now. My parents first divorced when I was 8, got back together, then divorced again. I've had to move at least once or twice each year. Owl City understands the pain, that's why they write songs like this. If it weren't for the internet, I would probably not be here right now making this comment. After my dad divorced for a second time, I was ready to die. But then I started watching inspirational videos, and now I'm here, living, crying my eyes out, but living. Thank you,
Foxy Pirate I sorry for that but try your best to stay strong every second you can because it helps you a lot okieeee ? ^^ Talk to someone might help you find a beautiful times :) Have a nice day !!!!! :)))
People in the comment section saying this song is dark It's not. This is one of the most hopeful songs that I've heard This isn't the end. When life is hard and you don't hink you can keep going, just remember that. We fight to survive because we've made this far
No it's not, listen to the lyrics :) It's saying that there's always hope even when bad things happen. And there's life after death. It's not dark, it's inspiring
My stepfather passed away about a year and a half ago from a very complicated case of multiple myeloma. I can very much relate to this song. One thing I love about the comments: everyone is so supportive and caring, kind of the opposite of what's expected of RUclips. Thanks for making our days, guys. For those of you going through something similar, brighter times will come; just hang in there :)
I'm bawling like a baby right now. Adam managed to make me cry in less than five minutes with such a song. I applaud the rather swift way he makes this stuff remarkably depressing but hopeful. This is no doubt the most powerful of the four in the EP, and my favorite.
with his Christian influence as well it also what God does, you could be carrying a lot of baggage (emotions, physical, etc.) but if you reach out to God he take it all and theres hope in life again, even though you may go through hard times you just have to give it to God and trust that his plan is great and know he's always watching. Things happen for a reason . (as a Christian and i'm pretty sure Adam is a Christian too I assume this is his way of sharing the gospel to others as well :)
Owlcity and Coldplay the most beautiful artists I've ever seen..... Man I can't stop listening to their songs, their songs work like kinda therapy, their songs really heal your heart...You guys are AMAZING!
My jaw dropped when I heard this song. My dad left a week after I went to college, but even though I was 18, I could have been eight for all the pain it caused. He still thinks it's no big deal since he tries to stay in touch, but I can't describe to him the betrayal. Thank you, Adam, for creating a song that helped me realize that time heals.
"owl city just sings dumb wimpy things about fireflies and rainbows lol blah blah lyrics don’t make any sense blah blah blah no talent blah blah all his songs sound the same blah blah blah" oh really? OH REALLY??? I dare every hater who's ever given Adam crap for "Fireflies" to listen to this and his last three albums and THEN try to tell me all his stuff is just "nonsense" that "all sounds the same". I DARE them.
I love this song but I break into tears every time I listen to it. I never personally related because none of my family members have committed suicide, but the message of suicide and parents leaving is still personal. “This isn’t the end” is literally what I tell myself whenever I feel suicidal, I play this song, cry it out, then hop back up.
Guys. If you all think that all of Adam's songs sound like fireflies.. Why are you complaining? Fireflies is an AMAZING song, and basically if you guys are saying that it's just like Fireflies, than you're basically also saying: This song is truly amazing and is a piece of art. All of his songs are meant to touch people's hearts, not to go off into the mainstream of media, this type of music is his safe spot where he can express how HE feels without someone telling him HOW he feels. :P
I agree. I love Fireflies. I hardly buy any secular music at all. Just Christian stuff. And I was willing to buy the song before I even knew he was a Christian artist. It was just that awesome of a song for me. I can absolutely not wrap my head around, people not liking it. When I found out he was a Christian though, it made so happy.
Never did I think a song could relate to me. My dad left us without a word, when he came back, we found out he got cancer. It’s been 5 months, and I miss him dearly.
That's true, his lyrics tends to be melancholic with those glimmers of hope. But he creates beats that are more happy and dreamy on purpose to sort of mask it. Most of his songs tend to be about a dreamer fighting against the harshness of reality and maintaining that hopeful perspective with the help of God. But this song delivers the melancholy more directly than his other songs did, so it does feel sadder for sure. It's also a heavier topic and he said it was inspired by his mother's experience.
Even though I can't fully relate to this personally, it still hits so deep. Such a gorgeous, gentle, melancholy, and yet hopeful song. So many different feelings to take in and all of them beautiful 💙 To anyone reading this, I'm truly glad your still here. Your loved even if you can't see it and absolutely NO ONE can replace you. Find meaning for yourself, hold onto that, and take care of yourself. Better days will be there, even if they have to come hand in hand with hardships 💙💙
I really hope he keeps writing songs like this. Yes, his usual random songs are fun, but this song has so much unexpected emotion. I absolutely love it.
''owl city has been writing the same song since fireflies omg'' listen to this song my friends and tell me this sounds exactly like fireflies because this sounds completely different from fireflies so plz no just stop
This song is incredibly emotional. Dark but hopeful, which is something that Adam is a master at. He left it a little rough, too; his voice breaks a few times, at the very end you hear him lift his fingers off the keyboard (or release the sustain pedal on the piano, I can't tell). That makes it so much more personal and real.
Owl City still knows his roots. This song may be depressing, but it's meant to be. This song is based on Adam's mother's childhood, with her dad leaving his family. I know of sad songs. Say Something, See you Again, etc. But Owl City's sad songs GO STRAIGHT TO MY HEART
this song is one of owl citys best in my opinion i feel like this realates to everyone in one way or another "you fight to survive cause you made it this far' is one of my favroite quotes now
I love that Adam addresses a uncommon theme in music in this song. It it a thought provoking and beautiful song that you can imagine Adam on the keyboard singing.
When i was little i couldn't comprehend the full meaning of this song, now i totally understand it, it's like i'm listening to it for the first time and i started to cry like a baby
these types of stories are the ones i need to hear living with depression. The people that you will hurt leaving this world no matter how dark you think it is, just remember them.
Every time i have a sad day i listen to Owl City. He makes me happy inside and keeps me here because my life isn't perfect i grew up in a poor family never got much but until i listened to Adam i got happier and everything is right to me now.
Adam, I want to personally thank you for writing songs like this one, and Beautiful Times because they are so very relatable. They actually genuinely help me with my own problems in my life. This is such a beautiful song. So, thank you.
You ever get that feeling a song isn't made for us, the audience; rather, it's made for or because of someone else? This is one of only a few I can say has that feeling for me.
I know this from 8 years ago, but this is the most amazing song. So many songs these days are empty words, but This Isn't the End has such a good message. I can't explain how much this song means to me- and so many others. Thank you so much Owl City ❤️
Everyone can connect to this song, some people have lost parents, family or loved ones. For other however, this song serves as a reminder that life is precious, and every moment is to be treasured. Life is to short for hate.
I used to like Owl City, then I started to really listen to the lyrics. It touches my heart and brings peace to my soul. Gives me hope, a new perspective, or a calm place to rest during a storm. Thank you.
This is the greatest owl city song I've ever heard, having grew up on this music this is the best song I've ever heard, if you've ever raised a daughter u know exactly what's going on here, I cried all morning listening to this
I had an alcoholic father growing up. He and I made up when I moved out and became an adult. He was my best friend and every day I find more and more that he's positively influenced my life more than I could've imagined. He drowned in a boating accident that me and my brother were a part of when we were 22, but survived. I miss him so much.
This is one of the songs that hit home for me. When my father left, I felt lost but i learned to deal with it. This song made me bawl out tears for this clearly explained what happened. lovely song! love owl city!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this song really hit hard and i needed that! thank you adam!!!!
Thank you for this song. My grandfather shot himself out of the blue and no one really knows why. He was my favorite person and it hurts real bad still. Thank you for this.
i accidentally stumbled upon this song through spotify whilst listening to owl city's entire albums and i was actually surprised out of vanilla twilight, hospital flowers and lonely lullaby this is-- somehow dark yet also not
I don’t know if this or Beautiful Times is the best off of Ultraviolet. This EP seems almost forgotten, and it’s a shame; IMO, it delivered the most real, genuine, and raw passion Adam Young ever delivered through any of his past songs. I’d love to hear more like this.
This song hits me in the feels so hard because I lost my dad to throat cancer a year ago and I'll always miss him forever because I'll never get over the heartbreak that me and my family went through on the night he died at the local hospice.
When your rely lost this is a good song to listen to, the first time I heard it I cried like a baby it tells you that there's worst things then a bad day. It reminds you of people you lost.I love this song
*(vent)* I can relate to this song on his personal level. I love my Dad I just wish he was nicer to my Mom and I. I wish he would accept me and I wish he wouldn't make my mom feel like she's walking on pins and needles when he's around. I wish our conversation wouldn't just be arguments. *I wish he would come home with a nicer and positive attitude...* 9/26/2021 Edit : I revisit this song with the terrible news. My Parents are getting a divorce. My dad wouldn't change. They both want different things in life. My mom won't have to face verbal abuse from him anymore but it's still sad. I feel like I'm all that remain of their broken relationship.
See, this is why Owl City has made such an impact on my life. Many songs of his has touched my heart or meant something to me. This one, means more. It hits me harder because I have no father to look up to. He didn't go out the same way this song's dad did, but he might as well be dead. For it to say "It's just the beginning, this isn't the end" is true to me. Once I finally let go of my expectations of a man who can never love me for who I am, I realized, there is a whole world out there just waiting to be seen. I may interpret the song differently than Adam is expressing, but all in all, it still touched my heart. Great song, Adam.

Owl City gets me used to happy upbeat songs and then this happens, ADAM YOUNG YOU'RE THE REASON I HAVE TRUST ISSUES
DAMMIT ADAM! I'm now in tears D''':
but still
Slojanko Mastery Who, me? I just really love his music
a lot of his songs are depressing
4ever&always his songs are so deep :')
Really listen to all his songs closely. All of them have deeper meanings
this hit me hard. with an alcoholic father it's hard to know when all the pain will end. thank you for making such an emotional song i guess? i really connected to it on a personal level.
*hugs* (:
same here...I entirely understand you
I have dealt with a similar situation with my father. I've always loved owl city, but this is really special to me because the situation hits so close to home.
McKenna Nalow as soon as owl city sang the he said he loved her and then he was gone part i was like wow that happened to me i connected with this whole song thanks owl city
pvpprosGaming my dad trys to contact me but at this point in time ive gone from sorrow and depressed to angry and depressed moved up 1 step XD
Though I can't personally relate to it, this is such a beautifully written song. Wow.
I could not agree more
It doesn't take a death in the family to feel grief and pain dog. Hope you're doing well.
When the rain falls down
When it all turns around
When the light goes out
This is just Owlsome
(O-oh),
I love that ☺
My dad never did anything to make sure I was OK. This song hit my heart, and hit it hard. I'm crying like a baby right now. My parents first divorced when I was 8, got back together, then divorced again. I've had to move at least once or twice each year. Owl City understands the pain, that's why they write songs like this. If it weren't for the internet, I would probably not be here right now making this comment. After my dad divorced for a second time, I was ready to die. But then I started watching inspirational videos, and now I'm here, living, crying my eyes out, but living. Thank you,
Foxy Pirate I sorry for that but try your best to stay strong every second you can because it helps you a lot okieeee ? ^^ Talk to someone might help you find a beautiful times :) Have a nice day !!!!! :)))
***** OMG I'm so sorry!!!
Still, I would hate it if my dad ever forgot my birthday! But my dad is in a rehab center.
Wow. My dad steals my money. He took my 10 dollars to pay for a pizza and he promised to repay me. 4 years later, I still don't have my 10 bucks.
I can't. I'd get my ass wooped.
I cried and the tears fell from my eyes, like a waterfall
Good one
and I swear I could feel you in my arms, but there was no one there at all.
You were my clarity I swear
All alone in a daydream
Yeah there was magic in the air
Not all of Adam's songs are sad, but when they are they make me want to bAWL MY EYES OUT
Oh my word this is so true
Yes
"Owl City will make you happy," they said.
"You'll love it!" they said.
*OF COURSE I'M NOT CRYING WHO PUT THESE ONIONS HERE*
People in the comment section saying this song is dark
It's not. This is one of the most hopeful songs that I've heard
This isn't the end. When life is hard and you don't hink you can keep going, just remember that.
We fight to survive because we've made this far
yeah, that is so true.
This is surprisingly dark for Owl city. .___.
You've not been paying attention to the lyrics.
Romaji
I have tell me 5 songs that are dark.. They are not that many.. (:
Ever heard Lonely Lullaby?
Yup.. But like a said there are like 1 out of 15 songs haha most of them are about love and being happy.. Even the first songs (My favorites)
No it's not, listen to the lyrics :) It's saying that there's always hope even when bad things happen. And there's life after death. It's not dark, it's inspiring
This is honestly the most beautiful comment section I've ever seen on youtube
Wow... just wow... depressing... but spirit uplifting... this is why I love Owl City.
My stepfather passed away about a year and a half ago from a very complicated case of multiple myeloma. I can very much relate to this song. One thing I love about the comments: everyone is so supportive and caring, kind of the opposite of what's expected of RUclips. Thanks for making our days, guys. For those of you going through something similar, brighter times will come; just hang in there :)
Kinda feeling this for Zelda right now...
RIP Mr. Williams.

Adam is definitely a Christian (and so am I)! He's recently written "You're Not Alone," if you haven't checked that out yet.
Adam Young is an angelic soul sent to this Earth to heal people
The best song off of the EP for sure.
Owlcity and Coldplay the most beautiful artists I've ever seen..... Man I can't stop listening to their songs, their songs work like kinda therapy, their songs really heal your heart...You guys are AMAZING!

I dare every hater who's ever given Adam crap for "Fireflies" to listen to this and his last three albums and THEN try to tell me all his stuff is just "nonsense" that "all sounds the same". I DARE them.
I'm Dearheart 42's brother by the way.
That's why I like Owl City....He doesn't just only make good songs, but the lyrics have meaning
Honestly I think the real question is who the fuck hates fireflies? Like, fireflies is a bop.
Who ever said owl city sucked???
I can't tell if this is a hate comment or not-
*You fight to survive 'cause you've made it this far.*
Thank you, Adam! ❤
"He abandoned his daughter and never returned" this hit me the hardest
I love this song but I break into tears every time I listen to it. I never personally related because none of my family members have committed suicide, but the message of suicide and parents leaving is still personal.
“This isn’t the end” is literally what I tell myself whenever I feel suicidal, I play this song, cry it out, then hop back up.

Same :D
xD
Well,the bad news is that i am islam but still,i like Adam's songs and i like them alot :D
Even though he's christian or something,i still like his songs :D (pls dont think that im ISIS,im in peace)
We are all human, religion should not separate us
seriously is it even possible for a song to make me bawl my eyes out as much as it did? This is too real.
this is such an amazing song, so underrated :(
This is the first songs to ever make me want to cry...
this song made me cry..
Never did I think a song could relate to me. My dad left us without a word, when he came back, we found out he got cancer. It’s been 5 months, and I miss him dearly.
If you clicked this video expecting another one of Owl City's happy songs...
You're gonna have a bad time
well if you notice all his songs are depressing. well really more like try to fight the depression.
That's true, his lyrics tends to be melancholic with those glimmers of hope. But he creates beats that are more happy and dreamy on purpose to sort of mask it. Most of his songs tend to be about a dreamer fighting against the harshness of reality and maintaining that hopeful perspective with the help of God. But this song delivers the melancholy more directly than his other songs did, so it does feel sadder for sure. It's also a heavier topic and he said it was inspired by his mother's experience.
narrowpathkjv.com oh thanks ^^ Always gotta keep God first :)
Not too many songs make me cry, but this one did. Thanks for the beautiful, real music, Adam.
Even though I can't fully relate to this personally, it still hits so deep. Such a gorgeous, gentle, melancholy, and yet hopeful song. So many different feelings to take in and all of them beautiful 💙
To anyone reading this, I'm truly glad your still here. Your loved even if you can't see it and absolutely NO ONE can replace you. Find meaning for yourself, hold onto that, and take care of yourself. Better days will be there, even if they have to come hand in hand with hardships 💙💙
I really hope he keeps writing songs like this. Yes, his usual random songs are fun, but this song has so much unexpected emotion. I absolutely love it.
''owl city has been writing the same song since fireflies omg''
listen to this song my friends and tell me this sounds exactly like fireflies because this sounds completely different from fireflies so plz no just stop
Really? I thought that this sounds like ":Here's Hope", but Beautiful Times sounds a little like Fireflies.
play them both at the same time please
BunnycatXDAJ Fireflies and This Isn't The End, or Here's Hope and This Isn't The End? Or both? Or neither? Or all of these? Or all of these? Or...
I tried all of these and I still think that This Isn't The End sounds the most like Here's Hope.
..
This song is incredibly emotional. Dark but hopeful, which is something that Adam is a master at. He left it a little rough, too; his voice breaks a few times, at the very end you hear him lift his fingers off the keyboard (or release the sustain pedal on the piano, I can't tell). That makes it so much more personal and real.
the fact that they wrote this song means so much to me, im so happy music exists.
Thank you for this beautiful, albeit sad, song. It takes maturity to jump off the usual Owl City Happy Train and tackle issues as poignant as suicide.
Owl City still knows his roots. This song may be depressing, but it's meant to be. This song is based on Adam's mother's childhood, with her dad leaving his family.
I know of sad songs. Say Something, See you Again, etc. But Owl City's sad songs GO STRAIGHT TO MY HEART
Well then... this in my opinion is probably one of Owl City's most emotional and deep songs yet. I actually felt something there.
A literature song, i'm usually not into these but when it come to owl city it always suprises me
this song is one of owl citys best in my opinion
i feel like this realates to everyone in one way or another
"you fight to survive cause you made it this far' is one of my favroite quotes now
this is literally almost exactly my situation im sorry but thank you so much for even existing, adam young
I love that Adam addresses a uncommon theme in music in this song. It it a thought provoking and beautiful song that you can imagine Adam on the keyboard singing.
When i was little i couldn't comprehend the full meaning of this song, now i totally understand it, it's like i'm listening to it for the first time and i started to cry like a baby
these types of stories are the ones i need to hear living with depression. The people that you will hurt leaving this world no matter how dark you think it is, just remember them.

You ever get that feeling a song isn't made for us, the audience; rather, it's made for or because of someone else?
This is one of only a few I can say has that feeling for me.
This isn't the end...of the song, because I breaking the replay button. :D
listened to this song for the first time in years and i'm crying 😭
I know this from 8 years ago, but this is the most amazing song. So many songs these days are empty words, but This Isn't the End has such a good message. I can't explain how much this song means to me- and so many others. Thank you so much Owl City ❤️
"And love is confusing and life is hard. You fight to survive cause you made it this far" relatable
Everyone can connect to this song, some people have lost parents, family or loved ones. For other however, this song serves as a reminder that life is precious, and every moment is to be treasured.
Life is to short for hate.
This song gets me every time, I cant help it. normally I don't cry for anything but this gets me. Makes me think of my dad every time.
My dad was never here for me thank you for making a song about this
I used to like Owl City, then I started to really listen to the lyrics. It touches my heart and brings peace to my soul. Gives me hope, a new perspective, or a calm place to rest during a storm.
Thank you.
"Love is confusing and life is hard. You fight to survive 'cause you've made it this far."
:')))))
This song hits hard, that's why I love it so much. Starts with the truth, and ends in hope and optimism.
This is the greatest owl city song I've ever heard, having grew up on this music this is the best song I've ever heard, if you've ever raised a daughter u know exactly what's going on here, I cried all morning listening to this
I had an alcoholic father growing up. He and I made up when I moved out and became an adult. He was my best friend and every day I find more and more that he's positively influenced my life more than I could've imagined. He drowned in a boating accident that me and my brother were a part of when we were 22, but survived. I miss him so much.
2021 im still listening
This is now one of my favorite Owl City songs!
I like the whole song but I can't stop replaying the ending.
+hannah C brown Me too :)
This is one of the songs that hit home for me. When my father left, I felt lost but i learned to deal with it. This song made me bawl out tears for this clearly explained what happened. lovely song! love owl city!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this song really hit hard and i needed that! thank you adam!!!!
Thank you for this song. My grandfather shot himself out of the blue and no one really knows why. He was my favorite person and it hurts real bad still. Thank you for this.
I like how this was played at the end of my playlist
I hope Adam reads these and sees how much good he is putting in the world
goosebumps
Adam Young is a genius and a master of nuance. I am so happy to observe him deepening as a performer. More ballads please.
this is beautifully written i hope more people will listen to his songs
THANK YOU OWL CITY!!!!!!!!!!
I heard this song and thought it was very depressing.... then heard the last verse! Last verse is amazing! Good job on this!
i accidentally stumbled upon this song through spotify whilst listening to owl city's entire albums and i was actually surprised
out of vanilla twilight, hospital flowers and lonely lullaby this is-- somehow dark yet also not
This comment section is so wholesome.
THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL
owl city is speaking to me.. when i lost my dad.. devistating im sad.
This song is so sad but so beautiful D:
Almost crying over the lyrics. Great song
How have I never heard this before?! This song is awesome! ;__;
This song makes me feel that there is hope is every situation!
Tears. Adam, you've done it again.
So dark... and so sad. :'( Man, Owl City really plays with your emotions when you're looking up his new music!
Adam, I forgot how much I LOVE your voice.
I really hope this song gets a music video.
I don’t know if this or Beautiful Times is the best off of Ultraviolet. This EP seems almost forgotten, and it’s a shame; IMO, it delivered the most real, genuine, and raw passion Adam Young ever delivered through any of his past songs. I’d love to hear more like this.
Damn. This is a great song.
This song hits me in the feels so hard because I lost my dad to throat cancer a year ago and I'll always miss him forever because I'll never get over the heartbreak that me and my family went through on the night he died at the local hospice.
That was an amazing song. I think Adam is getting his spark back :3
Really really beautiful
When your rely lost this is a good song to listen to, the first time I heard it I cried like a baby it tells you that there's worst things then a bad day. It reminds you of people you lost.I love this song
Everyone has their own demons to overcome. Thank you so much, you have given me some hope......
Whoa this song is pretty emotional, wasn't expecting this kind of sad direction from Owl City. But nicely done Adam.
Love This Album :) Brings Back A Lot Of Memories, Happy & Sad, Thank You :) Your The Best
THE FEELS! i am about to cry. Nevermind, i am crying. D':
*(vent)*
I can relate to this song on his personal level. I love my Dad I just wish he was nicer to my Mom and I. I wish he would accept me and I wish he wouldn't make my mom feel like she's walking on pins and needles when he's around. I wish our conversation wouldn't just be arguments.
*I wish he would come home with a nicer and positive attitude...*
9/26/2021 Edit : I revisit this song with the terrible news. My Parents are getting a divorce. My dad wouldn't change. They both want different things in life. My mom won't have to face verbal abuse from him anymore but it's still sad. I feel like I'm all that remain of their broken relationship.
Hope you're doing well, friend. Keep On;
In 2020, this hits hard...
Beautiful song... very thoughtfully written :)
See, this is why Owl City has made such an impact on my life. Many songs of his has touched my heart or meant something to me. This one, means more. It hits me harder because I have no father to look up to. He didn't go out the same way this song's dad did, but he might as well be dead. For it to say "It's just the beginning, this isn't the end" is true to me. Once I finally let go of my expectations of a man who can never love me for who I am, I realized, there is a whole world out there just waiting to be seen.

Wow, such strong lyrics, I hope people find strength with this song! :,)
