To everyone in the comment box, I am not Christian. I understand this song is originally about Christianity, but I think anyone can enjoy it. It's about finding something bigger than you that makes you feel good. And a Christian saying "God bless" to anyone should be considered a compliment, because they are wishing you well, from the highest being they believe in. I think we should all accept the love of each other, and you don't need to get upset when someone wants you to have a good day :)
THANK YOU FOR JUSTIFYING THAT! goodness me, there are moments where I tell someone "God Bless" and they just stare and either aqwardly say "yeah" or curse me off. It hurts. But, knowing that life is limited and eternity is forever, I have no problem telling people what I find morraly correct. Better know me for who I am and not someone I'm not. Right?
"Is that the light at the far end of the tunnel or just the train?" Adam Young can just take common phrases and turn them on their head. That's why I love Owl City so much.
I love this, it makes me tear. shout out from someone with depression who found a new hope from above. with faith and hope, you can find courage in the darkest of places, even under a tidal wave. you just need to stick with it. stick with living. keep swimming upward and don't be afraid if you go back under. God will reward you for your perseverance. Love this song.
"Depression please cut to the chase, and cut a long story short" You know why Adam Young is a genius? Because he and very few other artists could make depression sound this good.
My favorite part is when he sings comes down like a tidal wave cause its really cool how you made the "wave" say sorrow all over . I am still very impressed :D cant wait for the next one !
"all my life i wish i broke mirrors, instead of promises, cause all i see is a shattered conscience staring right back at me" indeed Adam!! pure music and rich in meaning.
Just came across your videos--absolutely love them. Good source material to work with, makes things a little easier to do, I'm sure, but still, you have a real gift--innocent and simplistic, straight to the point. I know we are all supposed to change and grow and all that, but I hope you do your videos exactly the same way for years to come because they are very heartwarming and uplifting. I hope things have gone well for you over the past 8 years, and I hope they go well for you in the foreseeable future. God bless!
“Tidal Wave is about running hard and racing for the prize with both eyes locked on the finish line so that one day, the words “Well done, good and faithful servant” might be heard." -Adam Young :)
GIRL, THIS IS AWESOME!! Nicely done. I am well and truely impressed. You put a LOT of effort into this and it paid off! (= You make paper magic!! Don't ever stop and please do your best to stick to paper! Break the mould and don't go into computer graphics. Thank you for working so hard for what is just over three minutes of our viewing pleasure. Well done!!! (= God Bless you!
This song, and Tied Together With A Smile by taylor swift describe so perfectly what i'm going through. I feel so lost, and no one seems to notice...Owl City helps me through it all. The inspiration and beauty of these songs give me the hope i need to move on.
this song reminds me there is allows a light at the end of the tunnel in orther words life can get u down but there is allways someone willing to listen
"Then I was given grace and love I was blind but now I can see Cos I found a new hope from above And courage swept over me" I love Adam ... he's so awesome and even though his songs are so different and kinda weird you've got to love them. And it's always seemed so blatantly obvious to me that those lyrics are about finding Jesus ... which just makes him and this song all the more awesome!!! lol Kinda like Meteor Shower ... I love him so much! :)
Wow, I love you, this song is fav fave of owl city. xD~ i was looking for a version of it to post on my facebook... i definitely useing you. TY for making it so much more wonderful~
that was the cutest thing ever! I was sad Owl City hadn't made a video for this song; its one of my favorites! But I am sad no longer! You rock and you are so talented and created! I'm showing this to all my friends!
I wish I could cross my arms And cross your mind 'Cause I believe You'd unfold your paper heart and wear it on your sleeve All my life I wish I broke mirrors Instead of promises 'Cause all I see Is a shattered conscience staring right back at me I wish I had covered all my tracks completely 'Cause I'm so afraid Is that the light at the far end of the tunnel or just the train Lift your arms, only heaven knows Where the danger grows And it's safe to say There's a bright light up ahead and help is on the way Help is on the way I forget the last time I felt brave I just recall insecurity 'Cause it came down like a tidal wave And sorrow swept over me Depression please cut to the chase And cut a long story short Oh please be done How much longer can this drama afford to run Fate looks sharp, severs all my ties And breaks whatever doesn't bend But sadly then All my heavy hopes just pull me back down again I forget the last time I felt brave I just recall insecurity 'Cause it came down like a tidal wave And sorrow swept over me Then I was given grace and love I was blind but now I can see 'Cause I've found a new hope from above And courage swept over me It hurts just to wake up Whenever you're wearing thin Alone on the outside So tired of looking in The end is uncertain And I've never been so afraid But I don't need a telescope to see that there's hope And that makes me feel brave
i love ur vidoes so much! this is my favorite of yours! i didnt no the song before this video, and now its one of my favorites! keep up the good work, and i hope u keep making these!
My friend sent me this video and asked me to watch it before I read all the comments/sidebar. I actually thought this was the OFFICIAL music video until I read it was fan-made. you did an AMAZING job! really! :D
I love that anything you do or put on the paper really makes sense to the lyrics... You are so creative. I really love your video's. So cute, Make me wanna snuggle someone :3

@@ajbanimatedstudios5014right!
Agreed
These paper-creation music videos are more enjoyable for me than many professional music videos. Well done miss♪
I second this and hope you are still making them, God bless! ❤
"Is that the light at the far end of the tunnel or just the train?"
Adam Young can just take common phrases and turn them on their head. That's why I love Owl City so much.
Same!

aye imma bring you back to this
My favorite part is when he sings comes down like a tidal wave cause its really cool how you made the "wave" say sorrow all over . I am still very impressed :D
cant wait for the next one !
keep up the creativity!
Depression PLEASE cut to the chase !!! How much longer can this drama afford to run?
The lyrics are so meaningful, of all Adam's songs this one really paints a solid picture. Also Matthew Thiessen where have you been all my life?
Oh my goodness your videos were my childhood I just remembered you out of the blue and I knew I had to watch these again. Thanks for everything ^_^
What an adorable video! It's so perfect for this song.
WooohhhooOO!! This video is so great! :) Owl City is soooo greeaaatttt!!!! I love the message in Tidal Wave. So uplifting! :)
It hurts just to wake up when you’re wearing thin, alone on the outside so tired of looking in. Hits hard
"all my life i wish i broke mirrors, instead of promises, cause all i see is a shattered conscience staring right back at me" indeed Adam!! pure music and rich in meaning.
Thats why i love his songs

"I dont need telescope to see that there's hope" that's absolutely true :)

Kinda like Meteor Shower ... I love him so much! :)
LOL! I loved the part where he writes down that he has broken another promise, and breaks the mirror anyway! Hilarious!
that is awesome!!! Favorite song by Owl City right now, switches on and off. SOOO CREATIVE! Must have taken forever.
OMG i luff this song so much!! the pictures match so perfectly with it!
Wow, I love you, this song is fav fave of owl city. xD~ i was looking for a version of it to post on my facebook... i definitely useing you. TY for making it so much more wonderful~
@lotsandlotsofbubbles well, it isn't cheery, but it's certainly optimistic
Really good concept and imagery. I think it could be better with more fps though.
its just one person adam young
matt thiessen who is the lead singer of relient k is in a couple of his songs too
Thank you so very much for making this video. It is a perfect match to this amazing song.
@JunctionCemetery I think that the lyrics are childlike, and thats what makes them awesome. They're so simple and happy, they just make me smile.
beautiful song + beautiful video = AMAZING BEYOND WORDS!!!
Aawn! Love this music!
that was the cutest thing ever! I was sad Owl City hadn't made a video for this song; its one of my favorites! But I am sad no longer! You rock and you are so talented and created! I'm showing this to all my friends!
I have never heard such 'depressing like' lyrics put into such a cheerful way.
Dont you just love Owl City
Gah, I still get tears in my eyes when I hear this song. Bravo, mate, very well done video. C:
This is super cute! Very well done! Captures the essence of the song perfectly!
That was the most adorable and creative fan video I have ever seen. My best friend and I love it
this song is really deep....
1) This song is amazing. 2) This video is almost its equal in amazingness
I wish I could cross my arms
And cross your mind
'Cause I believe
You'd unfold your paper heart and wear it on your sleeve
All my life I wish I broke mirrors
Instead of promises
'Cause all I see
Is a shattered conscience staring right back at me
I wish I had covered all my tracks completely
'Cause I'm so afraid
Is that the light at the far end of the tunnel or just the train
Lift your arms, only heaven knows
Where the danger grows
And it's safe to say
There's a bright light up ahead and help is on the way
Help is on the way
I forget the last time I felt brave
I just recall insecurity
'Cause it came down like a tidal wave
And sorrow swept over me
Depression please cut to the chase
And cut a long story short
Oh please be done
How much longer can this drama afford to run
Fate looks sharp, severs all my ties
And breaks whatever doesn't bend
But sadly then
All my heavy hopes just pull me back down again
I forget the last time I felt brave
I just recall insecurity
'Cause it came down like a tidal wave
And sorrow swept over me
Then I was given grace and love
I was blind but now I can see
'Cause I've found a new hope from above
And courage swept over me
It hurts just to wake up
Whenever you're wearing thin
Alone on the outside
So tired of looking in
The end is uncertain
And I've never been so afraid
But I don't need a telescope to see that there's hope
And that makes me feel brave
This is amazing. You are amazing. Adam Young is amazing. Of these things i am certain.
