    Does anyone else feel like this music video a kind of sequel to the Fireflies video? In Fireflies, it was the toys in Adam's room that came to life, but now that he's grown up he's passing on that same magic to the boy instead.

      Callum McPherson Yeah right. That's what I've noticed the first time I saw this music video.

      Callum McPherson i thought the kid was meant to be him as a kid- seeing himself writing amazing songs. my mum saw a resemblance between them in this and "to the sky".

      I think this kid could represent young Adam, going through some tough times in his life. Adam, knowing how bad it was and how great he's feeling now, wanted to tell him that it's going to get better, so he invented a way for him to travel back in time to tell younger Adam what he wanted to say (hey, that kind of reminds me of what MercyMe was talking about in their song, "Dear Younger Me"). Younger Adam got so inspired by all the magic in the room, he discovered a way for him to do the same. He started creating his own magic (music)! That, I am so thankful for. Fireflies and Beautiful Times both have insanely beautiful videos with similar visuals.

      I'm indebted to it as well, and to Adam Young overall for showing me that my Aspergers traits don't have to stop me from, well, having beautiful times... because his Aspergers didn't stop him.

    • @horrificpleasantry9474
      @horrificpleasantry9474 2 года назад +11

      The 'wander' lyric definitely comes from the hymn Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing, "prone to wander, Lord I feel it, prone to leave the God I love, here's my heart Lord, take and seal it, seal it for thy courts above." It's clearly a sign that this song is talking about fighting indwelling sin and failure to trust in God completely. He's the light, the believer is the lighthouse. The only dead fire is also evidenced that he's talking about sin, because the human nature that is not in submission to Christ in the believer is sometimes called the old man, who is dead in sin

    There are very FEW videos that Adam allows people to comment on his videos, so its heart warming to see so many people who are just as big of fans and in love with his music. Wish he'd allow more videos to receive the love they deserve. Adam Young is a rare gem of humanity and especially in the music business. He's got a unique gift of taking sadness/pain and raising it up to where you feel like you can shine like a golden star. His calming relaxing vocals, sweet harmony and well thought out lyrics bring you to tears but also makes you smile and makes you want to be a better person. Please LIKE this comment a lot so that Adam can see how much he's loved!!!

      "Tiny Adam in a Cabinet" would be the best thing ever.
      He would hop onto my keyboard and teach me some of his songs, he would play hide-and-seek with the cats in the cabinet, he would perch on my shoulder while I feed him an Oreo, he would make out with a Barbie replica of Taylor Swift (because I'm a relentless shipper) and then we would be best friends...
      And then he would ask me to let go of him, because I was crushing his lungs out while hugging him, during a meet-and-greet.

    A spark soaring down through the pouring rain
    And restoring life to the lighthouse
    A slow motion wave on the ocean
    Stirs my emotion up like a rain cloud
    When did the sky turn black?
    And when will the light come back?
    A cab driver turned to skydiver
    Then to survivor,
    Dying to breakdown
    A blood brother, surrogate mother,
    Hugging each other, crying their eyes out
    When did the sky turn black?
    And when will the light come back?
    I'm ecstatic like a drug addict
    Locked in the attic
    Strung out and spellbound
    I fought all through the night
    Oh, oh, but I made it alive
    The sun's starting to rise
    Oh, oh, these are beautiful times
    This fight of my life is so hard, so hard, so hard
    But I'm gonna survive
    Oh, oh, these are beautiful times
    A bad feeling burned through the ceiling
    Leaving my healing heart with a new scar
    A dead fire rose and rose higher
    Like a vampire, up from the graveyard
    When did the sky turn black?
    And when will the light come back?
    We all suffer but we recover
    Just to discover life where we all are
    I fought all through the night
    Oh, oh, but I made it alive
    The sun's starting to rise
    Oh, oh, these are beautiful times
    This fight of my life is so hard, so hard, so hard
    But I'm gonna survive
    Oh, oh, these are beautiful times
    This fight of my life is so hard, so hard, so hard
    But I'm gonna survive
    Oh, oh, these are beautiful times
    My heart's burning bad
    And it's turning black
    But I'm learning how to be stronger
    And sincerely, I love you dearly
    Oh, but I'm clearly destined to wander

      ***** Oh yeah, I just searched it up and she sings randomly and it doesn't actually sound bad =P And because she's not trying all that hard it doesn't sound too good. Maybe I'll have to listen to those songs to see what it's really like. Either way she's still the best person ever! Thanks for the songs btw =)

      The 'wander' lyric definitely comes from the hymn Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing, "prone to wander, Lord I feel it, prone to leave the God I love, here's my heart Lord, take and seal it, seal it for thy courts above." It's clearly a sign that this song is talking about fighting indwelling sin and failure to trust in God completely. He's the light, the believer is the lighthouse. The only dead fire is also evidenced that he's talking about sin, because the human nature that is not in submission to Christ in the believer is sometimes called the old man, who is dead in sin

    This is my #1 favorite song from Owl city every time I'm having a bad day or someone at school makes fun of me or if people treat me like an outcast because I'm Autistic I always lessen to this song and know that life is beautiful and things will be better thank you Adam young.

    As somebody who used to be suicidal, I can somehow relate with the song.

      Depression runs in my family and disorders are also very common throughout my family tree(which is a very dangerous mix). I have ODD, OCD, ADD, ADHD and depression. My mother was and still is suicidal. She also has
      depression, OCD, and ADD. My father has anxiety, ADHD, and bipolar. He had ODD, but doesn't anymore.
