frrrrr. I would listen to owl city every now and then. and whenever fireflies get played in my car with my friends around, their first reaction would be 'yooo I haven't listen to this song for YEARS'. bro you're missing out, owl city has released TONS of great songs since then 😂 tbf we as owl city fans are the chosen ones 💕
We all who have loved Owl City since the beginning (basically nerding out when we tell people it’s only Adam who is O.C. not a full band) and love each and every one of his songs, understand how special this tight knit community is, and this video proves it!
I know! I have been so blown away by the amount of Owl City fans dropping comments on this video and sharing how different songs have impacted them at different times and how much they love his music. Honestly, even as a huge fan, I had no idea there were so many awesome people also in love with it :) Welcome to the channel! Hope to see you around more, Justin!
I usually never comment on things, but thank you so much for making this video because I’ve never felt so understood in my love for owl city, he’s been a constant in my life for about 10 years now?? I think?? When I was about 12 a friend showed me to the sky one day during class and we would listen to it everyday since then. Even years after not even talking to that friend anymore I fell in love with the style, the instrumentals and the gorgeous imagery that Adam puts in his songs, it even seems like I fall in love deeper each year that passes and it seems like there are always new things I’ve never noticed before in his songs, little details or lyrics that have more meaning as I grow old. These days I’m listening to All Things Bright and Beautiful constantly everyday and angels is my favorite of the album for sure although plant life is really growing on me, I don’t even know what I’m saying anymore just wanted to say thank you I guess since I don’t really have people I can share this love with, hope you have a wonderful day :)
Heya -- thank you so so much!! I hope you're having a wonderful day too! That's so cool that you've been following his music for so long! It blows my mind that he has made so many incredible songs ♥ Like you said, he really knows how to paint pictures of the stories in his songs. And the lyrics and music together are just perfect. Angels is totally one of the best from that album, so I'm glad you're loving it! Thanks again for commenting!! I hope I'll see you around more!! :)
Same for me. If everyone in this world listens to his songs, there wouldn't have been any conflict and fighting. He really shaped my world view and inner world. Now I'm an idealistic utopian, struggling in real world and life. Really good to see a real big fan and a video!
@@davidtang2549 thanks so much for sharing! :) I know... I really wish everyone could just give a listen to all his music. It's such inspiring stuff. My kids will have this forced on them every day 😅
@@davidtang2549 You expressed my thoughts.. i never knew anyone who even knew Adam, but a few weeks ago I found out that one guy in a math camp knew - and more importantly, really liked - When can I see you again. So the last night, when everyone was partying downstairs and we had the smaller reproductor all for ourselves, I played some of the songs to him (When can I see you again, Unbelievable, Verge and maybe My everything, if I remember correctly). He seemed to like them, but for me the most shocking thing was his reaction. Instead of saying something like „Nice songs“ he told me to not care that the others don't like Adam's style and listen to what I like and encouraged me to spread his optimistic music far and wide. What a legend. And what a great community around this singer ❤
I would like to personally apologize to all the fans of Montana and update it's ranking to an A-tier. I was way too hard on it in this video and regret my actions 🙏🤣
Before vitamin sea was released, how I became the sea was my favourite. It always brings me to a world where a boy meets a mermaid thingy. Also the first song why I became a fan. Vitamin sea is now my fav cause after one year of my first job, this showed up and boy I filed for vacation real fast.
I love that ♥ so wild to have a new favorite after so many years. But Vitamin Sea has also become one of my favorites!! Ever since filming since video, I've been listening to Coco Moon soooo much.
It’s so so nice to see people share their love for Adam!! Owl city has been my all time favourite artist for 8 years and his stuff truly is music for the soul ❤❤❤
It really is! His music gives me so much joy and has for so many years. I'm so glad to meet more people who gave been following him a long time! Thank you for checking out this video and welcome to the channel!
No one else gets true good music these days, THANK YOU SO MUCH for making this video. Owl City was the entire reason I got into music. His style of songs is so unique, and it makes you feel like you’re up in the stars in a fictional world. I also love his christian messages in some of his songs. I will ALWAYS love Owl City
Hey! Thank you so so much! 🎉 So glad the video was fun! I was so hyped to make it. It's so awesome that Adam's music got you interested in music. He definitely has some of the most unique, fun music out there ❤️ all time favorite
The dedication you put in this video! As an Owl City fan since 2009, I really enjoyed watching the entire video and didn't even notice the time it took. Great job!
@@JoelAbshier Sure! I actually have two favorites depending on my mood, but they'll always be All Things Bright and Beautiful and Ocean Eyes (Deluxe Edition)
Dear Vienna is definitely one of my favorite songs of all time. Dear Vienna has always spoke to me on another level, I absolutely love the opening of this song-- "I regarded the world as such a sad sight Until I viewed it in black and white Then I reviewed every frame And basic shape And sealed the exits with caution tape" Definitely listen to this song focusing on the meaning of all the lyrics, I would 100% rank Dear Vienna: 👑
Hey! Sorry somehow this comment slipped past me! Thank you so much for sharing ❤️🙏 and welcome to the channel Those lyrics are super good. Listening to it again makes me want to give it 👑.
I am also a HUGE Owl City fan! I've only listened to his music for 5 years, but it feels much longer. His sound is so unique, and it makes me feel happy. The new album "Coco Moon" has the coolest key changes because he uses interesting chords.
Thanks so much Alaina! Sorry I somehow missed your comment! ☺️ So glad to meet another megafan. Coco Moon has been so good so far. Even this making this video, I've fallen in love with it more. It really does have so many good key changes or even momentary modulations. ☺️
Thanks for doing this, I always feel like I'm the only one I know that delved into Owl City's songs after Fireflies to the point where he became my favourite musician still to this day.
Thanks so much! :) I really appreciate you taking the time to check out the video! Adam is my favorite artist too, so it was an absolute blast to get to make this video and fanboy for hours and hours about his music! What are your favorite songs??
@@JoelAbshierThere are so many choices for favourites but I think I'd go for The Real World, Cave In, Up All Night, Air Traffic and Dinosaur Park for my top 5 currently. Also I'm one of those people that really vibe with Kamikaze since it's so different compared to everything else on the ATBAB album.
I'm in love with the songs "Alligator sky"(with and without the rap), "Unbelievable", "Wolf Bite" and "Deer in the headlights". "Fiji Water" and "Vitamin Sea" from Adam's most recent albums are so nostalgic.
Those are all such awesome songs! Fiji Water and Vitamin Sea are also some of my favorites from his latest album. Such amazing stuff! And welcome to the channel! Hope I'll catch you around more :)
SO excited for this! I was an owl city superfan as a kid, in 5th grade we had to write an essay but our hero and I wrote about adam. Definitely not as familiar with his discography as you are. So far, this is a great reminder how subjective these things are - the voice effect and hard cut on rainbow veins were my favorite part and I miss that lo-fi charm in his newer projects, which you seem to have a greater appreciation for. something to love for everyone :)
Hey there thank you so much! There's definitely a lot of my preference in here, haha, but rainbow veins is still a wicked good song. You might be a more hardcore fan than I am. I've never written an essay about Adam 👏 🎊 that's the coolest and cutest thing
Thank you so much for putting this excellent video together! I get goosebumps and tingles listening to almost every one of his songs! I’m 57 and a music teacher and think Adam is a musical genius! He is definitely my favourite recording artist of all time which is saying something as I’ve been around a long time and have a very long list of favourite bands and artists. His music is on another level, is so unique, and just lives in my soul. He inspires me so much as a musician and I’m so thankful that God put him on this earth!❤️❤️❤️
Thanks so much, Tamara! I'm so glad you liked it! :) He really has something special to his music. I find it so interesting to learn how to play a lot of his stuff. It's so rare to come across something that's super by-the-book 😅 I feel like I'm always learning something new when I play it. But I agree, he's totally on another level
The Tornado, Beautiful Times, and Meteor Shower are the top 3 that come to mind. Man, I need to make a tier list of my own. I'm inspired. Love the video, it's nice to hear someone who is also such a huge fan of Owl City go into depth on what you like/dislike about each song. SSS tier video, not quite royalty, sry.
Tidal Wave’s been my favorite song by Adam for the last six years now. Despite my agnosticism, it really hits when you’re at a low point, especially with its last couple of lines.
I feel like it's rare to meet someone who likes this song too! So glad you like it. And yes, those last few lines just hit so good. Thanks for checking out the video!
Hi Joel! Your video is 10 months old but I know the video today ONLY & finish watching now... without skipping!! Love your 5 hours dedication of making this video and your reaction to all those songs! I also want to say my tierlist but can't cause it's a comment hahaha. But anyway my fav Owl City song of all times is ON THE WING and my fav album/ep is ULTRAVIOLET and my least fav is.... 👀 MONTANA 🤣 just kidding! Btw I know I am late watching this video but still I am glad I found it. "Better late than never". Thank you for making this video and keep making more. God bless you. (PS: That new song "Car Trouble" is a banger!! Absolutely love it!)
I'm sorry I'm so late on getting back to you!! But thank you so much for checking out the video. I know it's a huge one to get through 😅 but I'm glad you liked it! This video was such a trip to make and revisit all of my favorite music. Hehe, well you and I can be the Montana haters 🤭 I definitely went too hard on that song at the start of this video lol. On the Wing is soooo good. There are some killer recordings of how he played it live on the cinematic tour and I love it so much! Also I will be recording a video this week reacting to Car Trouble and the rest of Coco Moon Deluxe 🤭 It has been painful to wait for it!
Shine your way is a collaberation with a malaysian singer known as Yuna, i know because the song was pretty big for malaysia as it is one of the biggest collab a local artist had manages to secure, it was back in the day where malaysian artist isnt quite yet common in the international scene
Hot air balloon was my alarm up to this day as it always makes my day. Listening to it makes my heart flutter even though I had my darkest times, that song just makes me feel alive.
Thanks!! As soon as I get the chance I'm definitely going to listen to it! I just gotta see the musical first! ☺️ It may be a while, but I'll update this comment when that day comes
About the Mobile Orchestra album, he made a commentary version of each song, I believe it's on Spotify as well. And I recall him saying that I Found Love is actually a song about Death. Like someone who's looking back at all the accomplishments in life and now they're ready to depart from this life. If you haven't checked out yet, I highly recommend ❤ Now I'll continue watching your video ^^
Last Summer, I listened to Silhouette for the very first time. I was struck by the lyrics and was almost in tears. Its a sad song that I can relate to.
It really is! Every time I hear it I still get tears. It's definitely one of his most sad songs. I actually did a cover of it a few months back and it's one of my favorite things I've done
He is one of the most underrated artists imo. His music is always so dreamy that made my childhood a memorable journey than just a plain period of my life.
I completely agree! I honestly am shocked more of his music isn't popular. He really has created a sound entirely of his own. Thanks for checking out the video! I really appreciate it
You know youre a hootowl when u dont skip this 2 hour-long video. Big fan of Owl City since 2009 here. Thank you for making this video, man! Great work! When you put The Yacht Club on 👑 tier i was like "THATS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!"
Thank you so much!! ☺️ So glad you enjoyed the video. You're the real one for making it through this long video. Also yeeeessss! It seems like no one talks about the Yacht Club, but it's one of my absolute favorites!
I'm happy I found your video. It was super fun listening to someone appreciate Owl City. My favorite Owl City song is Plant Life! I have "I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest" tattooed on me. Umbrella Beach, Cave In, Angels, Designer Skyline, and Take Me Somewhere Nice are also some personal favorites. Those alternative versions of Alligator Sky really threw me off. I was not expecting that. I had to pause the video to go listen to them.
Hiya!! Thanks so much for checking it out and subscribing!! :) I'm so glad you liked it!! And uuuuughhh yesss Plant Life is such an amazing song. I remember jamming to that one so much back in the day. Your top list is absolutely fantastic
Also... yes... those Alligator Sky alternate versions are...... something 😅 they might be some the only music that exists of his that I don't want to hear ever again
sorry me again, but i'm watching this in its entirety rn and Silhouette gave me CHILLS hearing it. Its such a deeply touching song for me, wondering when you'll feel happy again, asking if the pain is over yet. Its gorgeous and i'm glad that Embers is on the same album, because you kind of need both of them. One hits you in your feels and the other inspires you to keep fighting. Love it
On the complete opposite end, i'm sorry but i absolutely hate deer in the headlights as an afab person. It makes me violently uncomfortable like.. why does he not back off after being peppersprayed 💀 i know its a joke song but.. didn't age too well
Hey I'm sorry I'm responding sooo late to this, but you are absolutely right. Silhouette is the perfect, sit on the couch and cry song, and Embers does really life you out of it. It's funny you just commented this because I'm actually in the process of recording my own version of Silhouette for the channel! Thank you so much!
"I don't think anyone else but me cares about If My Heart Was A House" - I literally screamed at that. ME. I CARE ABOUT IF MY HEART WAS A HOUSE. It's so fucking beautiful, makes me cry every single time.
Dude, thanks for making this video. Your passion clearly shows, and the video was a blast to watch. It's so cool to see just how many big Owl City fans are still out there! Adam Young has changed of all our worlds for the best, and I'll always be grateful for that. I started a dream pop project called Skyway Lights (feel free to listen anywhere you find music :D ) that came straight out of my love of Owl City, and it has become one of the most fun things I do. I hope that everyone is still pursing their dreams, and never forget that dreams don't turn to dust!
I'm not sure if you're a Christian, but there are a few references that are really clever. The most obvious is Field Notes being a direct retelling of Matthew 13:44 comparing the kingdom of heaven to a treasure buried in a field. New Sons of Thunder is a reference to James and John in the Bible when Jesus gave them the nickname "sons of thunder" in addition to a reference to 1 Corinthians 15:52 with the "in the twinkling of an eye" part. I've also heard a theory that Kamikaze is about the fall of mankind and the chorus being how Revelation 19 refers to Jesus coming back on a white horse. Of course Meteor Shower has a lot of references to various Bible verses. I feel like there are a few I'm missing, but those are the biggest ones that I feel like are harder to understand without the references.
Amazing video, that's such commitment! I adore everything Adam does and it's great to see other people who feel the same. Choosing a favourite Owl City song or album would be like choosing my favourite child... if I had any!
I feel that! His music is so special to me and it feels so hard to put one above another or even begin to try to pick a favorite. Honestly, you could turn on just about any of these songs any day and I'd be so happy.
This was so fun! Adam has been my favorite artist for a long time. Small correction on "Firebird" though - that song was actually about his wife's brother. I remember seeing somewhere that Adam wrote the song from the now-Mrs. Abbey Young's perspective, going back through her memory lane with her about how close she was with her brother growing up.
Hey there! Thank you so much, that's so cool to know! Someone reminded me that he was an only child, but I didn't know what's who the song was about. I'm so impressed at his ability to tell and story in such an intimate and personal way. It feels like that connection is deeply personal to him 😅 Thanks so much for taking the time to watch this -- I know it's a super long video!!! 🙏🥳 I'm glad it was fun!! Hope I'll catch you around the channel more!
Oh. My. Gosh. 😅 I think over the course of filming my scale shifted a little. Honestly, out of all the comments, this is definitely my most egregious mistake in the video. Back to back, I would've never done that 😂😂😂 Also thank you for checking out the video! :)
I stopped listening to Owl City for awhile, but after his newest album released I've been listening more than ever and i forgot how good his stuff is!! And how much i just enjoy it.
Awesome video! Some of my favorite Owl City songs are: Angels Alligator Sky - No Rap Version Thunderstruck Captains of the Sky Fireflies And many many more!
I got recommended this video, thought “oh I know a couple of his songs, I’ll watch” and how I have like 20 new songs to get obsessed over. For years I’ve loved to say that my favourite Christmas song was by owl city, humbug is such a fun song to share with people over Christmas
Whenever I hear Owl City music (excluding the more Christian and country stuff) I always think of the aesthetics of mid-to-late 2010s and maybe modern anime a little - Makoto Shinkai’s stuff especially, or that one movie on Netflix that draws a lot from his style (Bubble, I think). I can really easily picture an AMV using clips from Makoto Shinkai’s work set to an Owl City song
Awesome video, so glad I found this on my recommended page! My top songs are definitely Dementia, On The Wing, Galaxies, and Alligator Sky (but it's so hard to choose a favorite haha)
Thank you so much! I'm glad youtube is recommending it to people! ☺️ Those are great picks. On the Wing is such a great song especially. But yeah, choosing between any of them is tough 😅 even ranking them makes me feel so guilty lol
Thanks so much for making this video! None of my friends or family like Owl City, but to see someone love and enjoy these songs the same way I do really helps me feel like I'm not alone. My favorite song's gotta be Saltwater Room, it's just such a beautifully composed atmospheric masterpiece and I'm instantly relaxed whenever I hear it.
Thank you so much for checking it out!!! Yesss the Saltwater Room is probably my all-time favorite Owl City song. It's soooo hard to pick, but it's just a beautiful song that I really connect with lyrically. So glad to meet another person who loves Adam's music 🤗 Welcome to the channel!
Be Brave!!!!!! I know like 99% of his songs by heart but that song just speaks to me on a whole other level. From the calm loneliness to the discovery to the grand revelation… each playback I can relive through Adam’s lens, over and over again, what it feels like to fall in love. And as a currently single dude who’s been in love before that really hits home :’)
Yesss!! That song puts falling in love into words so beautifully. I really love it. Everytime I hear it I want to happy cry. I'm with you there on the singleness 😅🤜 Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I hope to catch you around in the comments again :)
I love that I’m just now realizing that a lot of owl city fans have similar back stories in their love and connection to owl city. Adam young has taken a good permanent chunk of my brain and resided there just jamming at all time since 2009 when I was 11. My favorite childhood memories are taking walks in the field in my back yard with headphones listening to owl city just escaping the world and freely feeling like myself. I continued taking these walks up to current. Since I gave birth to my son last year I haven’t been able to walk as much but I make sure to take time to play his music and give myself moments in time to escape once again into such a wonderful place❤️
That same thing has blown me away since making this video. So many people, like yourself, have shared how big of a piece of your life his music has been. His early music especially is just that perfect kind of "escape to my own little world" kind of music. I've always connected with it so, so much. Also, huge congratulations on your son (even if it's a year late 😅)! And welcome to the channel :) I hope I'll catch you around more!
I'm having a blast watching this. I feel so edged on all the song sampling 😂 Not gonna lie, I screamed at you over Montana! Those soft piano notes following the first chorus choke me up every time. The day I heard Montana for the first time, I called my boss to take a personal day and drove 4 hours to a ski resort on a whim, it was awesome. Also, mad respect for the vinegar shot. That looked brutal 🤣 Flowers of the Field is an obscure one, for sure, but so romantic!
Thank you so much!! Oh man it was so tough deciding what hits of the songs to cut out! I'm sorry for the teasing! I don't think I'll ever stop feeling bad about Montana 😅 I really did that song dirty but have since upgraded it to an A tier. I think I was just in a mood. I respect your spontaneity so much. That ski trip is such a sick story! ☺️ Welcome to the channel!!! ☺️
My favorite Owl City songs are: 1.) The Saltwater Room 2.) On The Wing 3.) How I Became The Sea 4.) Fuzzy Blue Lights 5.) Strawberry Avalanche Sky Sailing: 1.) Sailboats 2.) Brielle 3.) Blue And Red
An Owl City song I don’t hear talked about much is Clap Your Hands, which was in Everybody’s Golf. It’s so catchy and fun, and never fails to put me in a good mood. I even remember turning it on driving away from my high school graduation, blasting it as loud as my eardrums could handle and shamelessly singing along. It’s so great😁
Oh man, I thought I covered this one but I guess I missed it! I love that even on the tracks he does for movies and games, he doesn't slack; they're still just more great Adam songs that could go on an album without a blink!
That's such a great memory too! 💃 Continue to tie important moments in your life to his music! Also thanks for dropping a comment! Hope I'll see ya around the channel more Nicki :)
I’m just really happy someone appreciates the instrumental break in Tip of the Iceberg as much as I do haha. That song is so underrated. Favourite song? Geez, that’s a tough one. Depends on my mood. If I really had to pick though, it would be Hot Air Balloon or Lonely Lullaby.
Yessssss!! Finally someone else who feels me on that song. It really is underrated. I could listen to that instrumental on loop lol. Oof those are such great songs. They're also sooo different
Owl City is that artist that I listened to all a time as a kid and is someone I keep coming back to randomly now. The Tornado has really got me back into listening to him regularly though, I really love the storytelling in that song and the double meaning (at least from my interpretation) of it being about going through a depressive episode, while I don’t suffer from depression personally I know people that have and I find this song really powerful. At that moment that’s my favourite, but there are loads of songs he’s done that I can listen to over and over again and never get bored of. Great list, I haven’t listened to all of these before so will definitely be filling in the gaps over the next few days!
Heya! I'm so glad you liked the list and I hope it's introduced you to at least a few new songs that you'll like! Adam definitely is an amazing storyteller -- I really think the latest album shows off that skill so much. The Tornado is one that's really grown on me more and more as I listen to Coco Moon. Glad you love it too!
Tbh I don't think I have the energy to make more of these full artist discography videos 🤣🤣 I've made two and they take so many hours to make and an unbelievable amount of time to edit 😅 I might retire from this genre and just do single albums lol
This is all I’ve ever wanted to watch someone do. Thank you for your dedication to this! It was so fun to listen along and remember all of these Owl City gems.
Thanks for taking the time to check it out! Even my opinions have changed some since making this video, so I feel you 🤣 Be Brave will definitely always be a favorite for me, like you said, it's just so powerful.
... My mom has the ocean eyes cd and when I was younger she always use to play it for us while she was cleaning the house, her favourite was always fireflies. MY favourite was Dental Care though, haha. Now that I've actually listened to his other music I'd have to say The Tornado and Silhouette are tied as my favourites.
Oh my gosh Dental Care is such a good song though. That one and rugs from me to you always make me laugh. I actually just release a cover of Silhouette today, if you're interested!
I listened to take me somewhere nice when my grandad died and it reminded me so much of him of my gran when they were younger so it’s ultimate tier frfr
So glad this video was recommended. Only been a fan a few years, but he quickly became one of my faves and I absolutely love each and every song of his, so to see someone else share that passion is really cool. I also went into this expecting to know every song as I've done many deep dives into his discography, and yet you still managed to teach me some, like what is mr heartbreak lol, need to go listen to that immediately. My favourite song of his is probably the same as yours, The Saltwater Room, its just so beautiful and atmospheric, and both versions have something different about them that I love. Anyway, thanks for making this, and I look forward to exploring more of your channel
Heya! Thank you so much for checking out the video! It feel like it's rare to meet someone who got into him recently -- I think that's so cool!! So glad to meet another lover of The Saltwater Room. I'm sure I rambled on about how much I love it during this video, but it's really my absolute favorite! The lyrics and mood is just so good! Thank you again for taking the time to check this out! I'm so glad you liked it! Welcome to the channel and I really hope I'll catch you around the comments more! I upload every week :)
You should absolutely watch Cast Away. It’s a good movie plus I think you’ll appreciate the lyrics of Kelly Time more. I love how Adam reuses themes and lyrics throughout all his music. My favourite is that the “Cause I walk alone” part of Silhouette (2:45 - 3:10) is the same melody as the “I don’t feel so alone” (1:30 - 1:50) part of Vanilla Twilight. I’ve always wondered if those two songs are a prequel/sequel-type of situation.
Thanks so much for the comment! I think I'll make some time to watch it just so I can understand the lyrics to Kelly Time better! ☺️ And yeah, you are so right! It's almost like in a good musical where characters and feelings have different themes associated to them... But Adam has been doing it for like 15 years, weaving it into all of his music! Also, huge welcome to the channel! 🤗🤗
I noticed a lot of others, but somehow didn't pick up on that. I noticed the Adam, Check Please and Wonderfilled, or the theory that Super Honeymoon and Under The Circus Lights, or even Blue and Red and Hospital Flowers potentially being about the same accident.
My most favorite Owl City song is Can't Live Without You. I wonder why it isn't as popular as some of his other songs. I personally think it's an underrated masterpiece.
Funny enough, I probably agree with about 90% of your ranking. Great job with the list. PS- Shout out Shaq in the Vanilla Twilight music video EDIT: just got to the end of the video. My favorite 2 songs are When Can I See You Again & Wolf Bite. .....and hurry up and listen to the Waving Through A Window cover. It's amazing.
Thank you so much! This was such a fun video to make. I'm glad you agreed with them! Also your two favorites are so good. I covered When Can I See You Again and I've been dying to make a cover of Wolf Bite but haven't gotten to it yet! Let's go Shaq! 🏀
Also! I skipped all of his covers for this video, but I definitely think I need to make a followup video going over them. There are so many good ones people have asked me about
Field Notes is a musical retelling of Jesus Parable of the Hidden Treasure so it's got even more layers. It's a really good one. Until My Muse came out, If My Heart was a House was my favorite love song from Owl City. Now it just depends on which one Im listening to at the time. Hot Air Baloon just makes me smile every time I hear it.
Haha, yesssss I totally should've known that 🤭 A few people have told me I was wrong on that. But thank you so much for checking out the video! I'm so glad you liked it :) Hope I'll catch you around here more!
this made me subscribe hahaha, been hunting down reaction videos for adam's new album cuz,.. well just because want to see how others reacts to his music hahahhaa
@@JoelAbshier so worth the wait man!, Tornado has been a rollercoaster feels, and it just amazes me how a music can do this to the listeners hahahaha just caught me off guard.
My daughter fell in love with fireflies and introduced Owl City songs to me and I absolutely love love his songs. Her first ever concert was Owl City and we went together.
The funny thing for me is I always pictured Adam Young as having a sad or neutral expression for most of his songs but when I saw him in concert he had a big smile the whole show so it threw me off in the best way.
Yesss! That's actually so true. I could totally see him being more lost in space and dramatic. But in concert he looked so happy! When did you see him??
Ocean eyes album was my childhood playlist. I remember when I was in the car, long time ago, maybe when I was 6 or 7 with my kindle fire 7 I listened to the whole ocean eyes album (deluxe edition album) Owl city will forever be one of my favorite artist.
I was so happy to go to my first concert in 2009, an Owl City concert in Baltimore, MD and now 14 years later I'm going to my second Owl City concert in October ❤
I love how this video found its way to my recommendations. Very happy to come across an Adam Young fan like me, we're a rare breed! I love you and (even though I'm just a few minutes into it,) I love this video!!
I loved this video, you covered so much! I've been listening to Owl City ever since his first album came out, and I've been loving his music ever since. And you introduced me to a few hidden gems I hadn't found yet, but can now add to my playlist(s)! Thank you!
Thank you!! I'm so glad you liked it 🤗🤗 also glad I could introduce a few new ones! I absolutely love his music 🎶 Thanks for commenting and welcome to the channel, Sierra! ☺️
Designer Skyline is my favorite OC song. Maybe I’m Dreaming is my favorite album. Rainbow Veins is one of my top 3 on that album. Super Honeymoon is my number 1 haha.
Great video! My ranking would definitely be a little different but I do agree that Adam doesn't make bad music so its hard to rate it all. To answer your question, I can't pick one one song as my favourite. its actually impossible, I think. Adams music is so closely associated with different stages and memories in my life that I couldn't choose just one. I'll just say I enjoy 99% of his music immensely and I am enjoying Coco Moon an awful lot with Kelly Time and Under the Circus Lights being my favs.
Thank you so much! Yeah, even looking back at this video I have some songs I'd like to change already! I love his music so much and it's hard to put anything beneath another. Coco Moon has been seriously fire though! I think you're experience with his music is so cool. I totally relate to having songs that were really significant at certain stages of my life, but have been replaced with some different ones. That's one of the coolest things about following someone for so long.
@@JoelAbshier I'm sure any list I made would change week to week. I went through a period years ago listening to All Things Bright and Beautiful on repeat for months and completely burnt myself out on it. I've only just recently come back to that album to re-experience and re-appreciate it all over again. Ocean Eyes and Maybe I'm Dreaming were my gaming albums as a kid and I loved listening to them while playing RPGs. Adam's music has shaped me so much and I'm looking forward to whatever he creates next.
It's so cool how the experience of an album can completely change depending on where you're at. Adam's music is really perfect for that too, with his style of lyrics. I'm deep in a Coco Moon phase right now, haha.
1:56:23 I definitely consider it as being all imagination, as he says "lets spend the afternoon in a *cold* hot air balloon" :D I imagine some kids playing in a old hot air balloon that was stashed away in a basement. My favorite Owl City songs are my favorites for different reasons so I can't just pick one sorry. xD I can probably narrow it down to Lucid Dream, Silhouette, Up All Night, Vanilla Twilight, Fireflies, On the Wing, Lonely Lullaby, If My Heart was a House. I am very thankful for To The Sky since that was the OC first song I heard, playing on the credits of the owl movie xP. I like the structure of old Saltwater Room but the new one is definitely crisper and cleaner.
Finished the video and loved it. Your dedication is just amazing. Gotta say, my number 1 Owl City song constantly changes, but I think it's a tossup between Wolf Bite and Cave In. Midsummer Station is my easy winner for best album; everything but Take it All Away is a masterpiece or just really darn good. Again though, thanks for making this video, and I'll be excited for your takes on whatever Adam does next :)
Hey thank you so so much! 🙏 So glad you liked the video! Cave In is such an amazing song. I was so glad he did it when I saw him for the first time this year. I'm already gearing up for the Coco Moon Deluxe tier list next week 🤭 🤭
My favorite album by Owl City is Cinematic. It just honestly gives me nostalgia, especially New York City and Montana. I was 9 when it came out, and I am turning 16 this year, so it's the soundtrack to my late childhood. I love all of these songs, and kudos to Adam and how he's created amazing songs over his career and I am glad to call him one of my all-time favorite artists.
West Coast Friendship, Swimming in Miami and Cave In have always been my favourites ❤ Thank you so much for this video! I've been an Owl City fan since 2014 when Ultraviolet came out. Amazing!!
Thank you so much for checking out the video and for dropping a comment!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I really love those 3 songs! That pre-chorus to West Coast Friendship gets my hyped 😅 And I personally relate to Cave In so much! Thank you again and welcome to the channel!. I hope I'll see you around the comments more! Also, I saw you upload a bunch of Nightcore versions of Owl City songs on your channel and checked them out! 🥳
As a Pop Punk fan, Dementia is my 100% favorite. Up All Night, The Saltwater Room, and The Real World is up there too. (From the new Coco Moon my favorite is Sons of Thunder)
Thanks for commenting Suzy! 🤗 Nice to meet another Owl City fan!! Also, I love your picks! Saltwater Room and Real World are some of my absolute favorites too
Sky Sailing was such a hidden gem when I discovered it like 4 years ago. I knew he had a lot of side projects before Owl City, and the amount of gems on that one album is crazy. All Things Bright and Beautiful is also highly underrated. It was released right after Ocean Eyes, and unfortunately was never as popular, but it has so many great songs, many of his best. Honestly, I feel bad for all the people that only know him for Fireflies, because they are missing out on an entire world of awesome music. Fireflies is his magnum opus, and it'll undoubtedly be the song he's remembered most for, but he is certainly much more than that. I'm glad more people are realizing that.
Hey Nick! Thanks so much! Yeah, I couldn't agree more. It's amazing how much of his work isn't really tracked anywhere. I wish all of his side-projects were available under one simple "Adam Young" name so we didn't have to work so hard to hunt them down. I agree that All Things Bright and Beautiful is an awesome one. Honestly, it never has a dull track on the whole thing and has such good ones like Plant Life, Deer in the Headlights, and my personal fave Yacht Club 😅 Haven't found many people who like that one with me though. I always feel so mixed. Like, I'm so glad that people know Fireflies and that it's so beloved, but it does break my heart that that is the only song most people know. He has so many great songs and such a wide range of musical and lyrical talent. I just wish I could share it with more people! Also, big welcome to the channel! I hope to catch ya around in the comments more! :)
Reading this coment section I think I am one of the newest fans, only starting in Janurary 2022 after 'good times' was randomly played on the radio one night. I didn't have a favorite group at the time and as I discovered more songs I liked him even more until now that he is officially my favorite "group" / singer. I can't wait to see him live one day although I still need to listen to a lot of OWL CITY's songs ( I probably only listened to 20% lol 😅😅)
Hey! Welcome to the channel (and the Owl City fans 🥳)! Honestly, before making this video I had no idea how many people there were who had been fans so long. The response to this video has really surprised me. So glad you stumbled across Adam's music last year 🤗 And I love that he's already your favorite in such a short time! What's been your favorite song of his that you've heard so far??
@@JoelAbshier it's hard to choose one as I keep discovering new songs every day but if I had to pick one right now it would be Cinematic, On the wing and Back Home (all from different albums 😜)
As a massive owl city fan, it’s so interesting to see someone who loves owl city and Adam young, but have like the opposite taste in his music! But I love it! We have some similar opinions but some very different and I loved comparing x
That's so awesome! Yeah I love seeing comments and hearing what songs people love and why, especially when they're different opinions than mine. Actually a few comments on here have made me like some songs I ranked lower even more
Lucid Dreams destroys me every single time i listen to it. I have felt the way it makes my insides surge, for anything else. It never fails to make me feel like im hurdling through the middle of a cosmos.
Umbrella Beach is my most favorite Owl City song. "home will always be here. unseen, out of sight."
That's such a great one ❤️ those lyrics are to die for
Also welcome to the channel 🤗
HEYYYYYY SAMEEEEE ONE OF MY FAVORITES ❤
My 5 favorites are
5) Umbrella Beach
4) Plant Life
3) Rainbow Veins
2) Cinematic
1) Metropolis
@@SomeRandomPuzzlePiece I'm just now seeing this comment, but that is a spectacular list. I love those middle three specially
I love when people tell me "Man does Owl city even have other songs than Fireflies?" and ive been listening to his other music for years.
I knoooow right? It pains me when I hear "man, that guy really dropped one song and dipped"
frrrrr. I would listen to owl city every now and then. and whenever fireflies get played in my car with my friends around, their first reaction would be 'yooo I haven't listen to this song for YEARS'. bro you're missing out, owl city has released TONS of great songs since then 😂 tbf we as owl city fans are the chosen ones 💕
We all who have loved Owl City since the beginning (basically nerding out when we tell people it’s only Adam who is O.C. not a full band) and love each and every one of his songs, understand how special this tight knit community is, and this video proves it!
I know! I have been so blown away by the amount of Owl City fans dropping comments on this video and sharing how different songs have impacted them at different times and how much they love his music. Honestly, even as a huge fan, I had no idea there were so many awesome people also in love with it :)
Welcome to the channel! Hope to see you around more, Justin!
Let's sing a song.
"Shipwreck in a sea of faces
There's a dreamy world up there"
Love it :)
"Dear friends in higher places
Carry me away from here"
"travel light let the sun eclipse you
cause your flight is about to leave!"
"And there's more to this brave adventure
Than you'd ever believe!"
@@jacobchandler7642”Bird’s eye view, awake the stars cause they’re all around you!”
“Wide eyes will always brighten the blue”
I usually never comment on things, but thank you so much for making this video because I’ve never felt so understood in my love for owl city, he’s been a constant in my life for about 10 years now?? I think?? When I was about 12 a friend showed me to the sky one day during class and we would listen to it everyday since then. Even years after not even talking to that friend anymore I fell in love with the style, the instrumentals and the gorgeous imagery that Adam puts in his songs, it even seems like I fall in love deeper each year that passes and it seems like there are always new things I’ve never noticed before in his songs, little details or lyrics that have more meaning as I grow old. These days I’m listening to All Things Bright and Beautiful constantly everyday and angels is my favorite of the album for sure although plant life is really growing on me, I don’t even know what I’m saying anymore just wanted to say thank you I guess since I don’t really have people I can share this love with, hope you have a wonderful day :)
Heya -- thank you so so much!! I hope you're having a wonderful day too! That's so cool that you've been following his music for so long! It blows my mind that he has made so many incredible songs ♥ Like you said, he really knows how to paint pictures of the stories in his songs. And the lyrics and music together are just perfect. Angels is totally one of the best from that album, so I'm glad you're loving it!
Thanks again for commenting!! I hope I'll see you around more!! :)
Same for me. If everyone in this world listens to his songs, there wouldn't have been any conflict and fighting.
He really shaped my world view and inner world. Now I'm an idealistic utopian, struggling in real world and life.
Really good to see a real big fan and a video!
@@davidtang2549 thanks so much for sharing! :) I know... I really wish everyone could just give a listen to all his music. It's such inspiring stuff. My kids will have this forced on them every day 😅
@@davidtang2549 You expressed my thoughts.. i never knew anyone who even knew Adam, but a few weeks ago I found out that one guy in a math camp knew - and more importantly, really liked - When can I see you again. So the last night, when everyone was partying downstairs and we had the smaller reproductor all for ourselves, I played some of the songs to him (When can I see you again, Unbelievable, Verge and maybe My everything, if I remember correctly). He seemed to like them, but for me the most shocking thing was his reaction. Instead of saying something like „Nice songs“ he told me to not care that the others don't like Adam's style and listen to what I like and encouraged me to spread his optimistic music far and wide. What a legend. And what a great community around this singer ❤
I would like to personally apologize to all the fans of Montana and update it's ranking to an A-tier. I was way too hard on it in this video and regret my actions 🙏🤣
@@UkulilyFilly justice has been delivered
Montana is A Tier for sure. I visited North Fork Road while listening to this song. I also went all the way to Polebridge.
Thank God!
Fun fact: If My Heart Was a House was the song my wife and I danced to at our wedding. Needless to say I think your ranking of it is perfect
Oh my gosh that's so sweet! ♥️♥️ I want to steal that idea for my wedding. It's such a beautiful song
Before vitamin sea was released, how I became the sea was my favourite. It always brings me to a world where a boy meets a mermaid thingy. Also the first song why I became a fan.
Vitamin sea is now my fav cause after one year of my first job, this showed up and boy I filed for vacation real fast.
I love that ♥ so wild to have a new favorite after so many years. But Vitamin Sea has also become one of my favorites!! Ever since filming since video, I've been listening to Coco Moon soooo much.
It’s so so nice to see people share their love for Adam!! Owl city has been my all time favourite artist for 8 years and his stuff truly is music for the soul ❤❤❤
It really is! His music gives me so much joy and has for so many years. I'm so glad to meet more people who gave been following him a long time! Thank you for checking out this video and welcome to the channel!
Under the circus lights is quickly becoming my new favrioute
I'm actually with you! When I turn on Coco Moon now, sometimes I jump right to this track because I love it so much!
No one else gets true good music these days, THANK YOU SO MUCH for making this video. Owl City was the entire reason I got into music. His style of songs is so unique, and it makes you feel like you’re up in the stars in a fictional world. I also love his christian messages in some of his songs. I will ALWAYS love Owl City
Hey! Thank you so so much! 🎉 So glad the video was fun! I was so hyped to make it. It's so awesome that Adam's music got you interested in music. He definitely has some of the most unique, fun music out there ❤️ all time favorite
I love seeing bird with a broken wing appreciation, that song truly is the best of Mobile Orchestra
Aye! Yes you're the first person I've ever seen call that one out! It's such a fantastic song!
I adore that song too and never see people talking about it
The dedication you put in this video! As an Owl City fan since 2009, I really enjoyed watching the entire video and didn't even notice the time it took. Great job!
Hey thank you so much for watching! 🤗🤗 I'm really glad you enjoyed it! After all this time, what's been your favorite album?
@@JoelAbshier Sure! I actually have two favorites depending on my mood, but they'll always be All Things Bright and Beautiful and Ocean Eyes (Deluxe Edition)
Those are great choices. I think Ocean Eyes is definitely the one I go back to the most. Then probably All Things Bright and Beautiful after that.
Dear Vienna is definitely one of my favorite songs of all time.
Dear Vienna has always spoke to me on another level, I absolutely love the opening of this song--
"I regarded the world as such a sad sight
Until I viewed it in black and white
Then I reviewed every frame
And basic shape
And sealed the exits with caution tape"
Definitely listen to this song focusing on the meaning of all the lyrics, I would 100% rank Dear Vienna: 👑
Hey! Sorry somehow this comment slipped past me! Thank you so much for sharing ❤️🙏 and welcome to the channel
Those lyrics are super good. Listening to it again makes me want to give it 👑.
yeah, when the chorus repeats at the end, and the echos is coming the song just chills me out
@@dake6844 it so does!
So many wonderful songs between sky sailing and own city.
I know! ❤️ Just so much good stuff he's given us for so many years
I am also a HUGE Owl City fan! I've only listened to his music for 5 years, but it feels much longer. His sound is so unique, and it makes me feel happy. The new album "Coco Moon" has the coolest key changes because he uses interesting chords.
Thanks so much Alaina! Sorry I somehow missed your comment! ☺️ So glad to meet another megafan. Coco Moon has been so good so far. Even this making this video, I've fallen in love with it more. It really does have so many good key changes or even momentary modulations. ☺️
Thanks for doing this, I always feel like I'm the only one I know that delved into Owl City's songs after Fireflies to the point where he became my favourite musician still to this day.
Thanks so much! :) I really appreciate you taking the time to check out the video! Adam is my favorite artist too, so it was an absolute blast to get to make this video and fanboy for hours and hours about his music!
What are your favorite songs??
@@JoelAbshierThere are so many choices for favourites but I think I'd go for The Real World, Cave In, Up All Night, Air Traffic and Dinosaur Park for my top 5 currently.
Also I'm one of those people that really vibe with Kamikaze since it's so different compared to everything else on the ATBAB album.
I'm in love with the songs "Alligator sky"(with and without the rap), "Unbelievable", "Wolf Bite" and "Deer in the headlights". "Fiji Water" and "Vitamin Sea" from Adam's most recent albums are so nostalgic.
Those are all such awesome songs! Fiji Water and Vitamin Sea are also some of my favorites from his latest album. Such amazing stuff!
And welcome to the channel! Hope I'll catch you around more :)
SO excited for this! I was an owl city superfan as a kid, in 5th grade we had to write an essay but our hero and I wrote about adam. Definitely not as familiar with his discography as you are. So far, this is a great reminder how subjective these things are - the voice effect and hard cut on rainbow veins were my favorite part and I miss that lo-fi charm in his newer projects, which you seem to have a greater appreciation for. something to love for everyone :)
Hey there thank you so much! There's definitely a lot of my preference in here, haha, but rainbow veins is still a wicked good song.
You might be a more hardcore fan than I am. I've never written an essay about Adam 👏 🎊 that's the coolest and cutest thing
Welcome to the channel 🤗
Thank you so much for putting this excellent video together! I get goosebumps and tingles listening to almost every one of his songs! I’m 57 and a music teacher and think Adam is a musical genius! He is definitely my favourite recording artist of all time which is saying something as I’ve been around a long time and have a very long list of favourite bands and artists. His music is on another level, is so unique, and just lives in my soul. He inspires me so much as a musician and I’m so thankful that God put him on this earth!❤️❤️❤️
Thanks so much, Tamara! I'm so glad you liked it! :) He really has something special to his music. I find it so interesting to learn how to play a lot of his stuff. It's so rare to come across something that's super by-the-book 😅 I feel like I'm always learning something new when I play it. But I agree, he's totally on another level
I gotta be honest - Angels is my favourite song of all time. Gets me head-banging every time!!
That song is absolutely fire! Mad respect
The Tornado, Beautiful Times, and Meteor Shower are the top 3 that come to mind. Man, I need to make a tier list of my own. I'm inspired.
Love the video, it's nice to hear someone who is also such a huge fan of Owl City go into depth on what you like/dislike about each song. SSS tier video, not quite royalty, sry.
Tidal Wave’s been my favorite song by Adam for the last six years now. Despite my agnosticism, it really hits when you’re at a low point, especially with its last couple of lines.
I feel like it's rare to meet someone who likes this song too! So glad you like it. And yes, those last few lines just hit so good. Thanks for checking out the video!
Hi Joel! Your video is 10 months old but I know the video today ONLY & finish watching now... without skipping!! Love your 5 hours dedication of making this video and your reaction to all those songs!
I also want to say my tierlist but can't cause it's a comment hahaha. But anyway my fav Owl City song of all times is ON THE WING and my fav album/ep is ULTRAVIOLET and my least fav is.... 👀 MONTANA 🤣 just kidding!
Btw I know I am late watching this video but still I am glad I found it. "Better late than never".
Thank you for making this video and keep making more. God bless you.
(PS: That new song "Car Trouble" is a banger!! Absolutely love it!)
I'm sorry I'm so late on getting back to you!! But thank you so much for checking out the video. I know it's a huge one to get through 😅 but I'm glad you liked it! This video was such a trip to make and revisit all of my favorite music.
Hehe, well you and I can be the Montana haters 🤭 I definitely went too hard on that song at the start of this video lol. On the Wing is soooo good. There are some killer recordings of how he played it live on the cinematic tour and I love it so much!
Also I will be recording a video this week reacting to Car Trouble and the rest of Coco Moon Deluxe 🤭 It has been painful to wait for it!
Shine your way is a collaberation with a malaysian singer known as Yuna, i know because the song was pretty big for malaysia as it is one of the biggest collab a local artist had manages to secure, it was back in the day where malaysian artist isnt quite yet common in the international scene
Hot air balloon was my alarm up to this day as it always makes my day. Listening to it makes my heart flutter even though I had my darkest times, that song just makes me feel alive.
Aww that is so awesome!! That's such a magical way to start the day!
Hope you'll enjoy Dear Evan Hansen, Adam's cover is one of my favourite songs from him for when I'm feeling down!
Thanks!! As soon as I get the chance I'm definitely going to listen to it! I just gotta see the musical first! ☺️ It may be a while, but I'll update this comment when that day comes
@@JoelAbshier haha same i wanted to see the musical after hearing the song it's one of my favorite songs
I need to check the tour schedule for Dear Evan Hansen 😂 you're making me want to hear this song more!
I came here to recommend this cover as well. It's fantastic
About the Mobile Orchestra album, he made a commentary version of each song, I believe it's on Spotify as well. And I recall him saying that I Found Love is actually a song about Death. Like someone who's looking back at all the accomplishments in life and now they're ready to depart from this life. If you haven't checked out yet, I highly recommend ❤
Now I'll continue watching your video ^^
Last Summer, I listened to Silhouette for the very first time. I was struck by the lyrics and was almost in tears. Its a sad song that I can relate to.
It really is! Every time I hear it I still get tears. It's definitely one of his most sad songs. I actually did a cover of it a few months back and it's one of my favorite things I've done
He is one of the most underrated artists imo. His music is always so dreamy that made my childhood a memorable journey than just a plain period of my life.
I completely agree! I honestly am shocked more of his music isn't popular. He really has created a sound entirely of his own.
Thanks for checking out the video! I really appreciate it
Underrated Owl City songs:
Technicolor Phase
Air Traffic
Good Time Acoustic
Real World
I Found Love
Beautiful Times
You know youre a hootowl when u dont skip this 2 hour-long video. Big fan of Owl City since 2009 here. Thank you for making this video, man! Great work!
When you put The Yacht Club on 👑 tier i was like "THATS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!"
Thank you so much!! ☺️ So glad you enjoyed the video. You're the real one for making it through this long video.
Also yeeeessss! It seems like no one talks about the Yacht Club, but it's one of my absolute favorites!
Wow...great work man. This is unreal. Love the passion for Owl City. Ranking these tunes would be hella hard.
Thank you so much!! I'm glad you liked it! It's so hard to pick with his music... I love all of the music so much!
I'm happy I found your video. It was super fun listening to someone appreciate Owl City. My favorite Owl City song is Plant Life! I have "I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest" tattooed on me.
Umbrella Beach, Cave In, Angels, Designer Skyline, and Take Me Somewhere Nice are also some personal favorites.
Those alternative versions of Alligator Sky really threw me off. I was not expecting that. I had to pause the video to go listen to them.
Hiya!! Thanks so much for checking it out and subscribing!! :) I'm so glad you liked it!! And uuuuughhh yesss Plant Life is such an amazing song. I remember jamming to that one so much back in the day. Your top list is absolutely fantastic
Also... yes... those Alligator Sky alternate versions are...... something 😅 they might be some the only music that exists of his that I don't want to hear ever again
sorry me again, but i'm watching this in its entirety rn and Silhouette gave me CHILLS hearing it. Its such a deeply touching song for me, wondering when you'll feel happy again, asking if the pain is over yet. Its gorgeous and i'm glad that Embers is on the same album, because you kind of need both of them. One hits you in your feels and the other inspires you to keep fighting. Love it
On the complete opposite end, i'm sorry but i absolutely hate deer in the headlights as an afab person. It makes me violently uncomfortable like.. why does he not back off after being peppersprayed 💀 i know its a joke song but.. didn't age too well
Hey I'm sorry I'm responding sooo late to this, but you are absolutely right. Silhouette is the perfect, sit on the couch and cry song, and Embers does really life you out of it. It's funny you just commented this because I'm actually in the process of recording my own version of Silhouette for the channel!
Thank you so much!
@@JoelAbshier OMG let me know when that drops, i'll be waiting patiently 👀 Thats so cool!
@@ToastyGhost2 will do!! It'll probably be this Saturday or the one after!
"I don't think anyone else but me cares about If My Heart Was A House" - I literally screamed at that. ME. I CARE ABOUT IF MY HEART WAS A HOUSE. It's so fucking beautiful, makes me cry every single time.
Odd remark he made, literally the whole fandom gushes over that song
Dude, thanks for making this video. Your passion clearly shows, and the video was a blast to watch. It's so cool to see just how many big Owl City fans are still out there! Adam Young has changed of all our worlds for the best, and I'll always be grateful for that. I started a dream pop project called Skyway Lights (feel free to listen anywhere you find music :D ) that came straight out of my love of Owl City, and it has become one of the most fun things I do.
I hope that everyone is still pursing their dreams, and never forget that dreams don't turn to dust!
I'm not sure if you're a Christian, but there are a few references that are really clever. The most obvious is Field Notes being a direct retelling of Matthew 13:44 comparing the kingdom of heaven to a treasure buried in a field. New Sons of Thunder is a reference to James and John in the Bible when Jesus gave them the nickname "sons of thunder" in addition to a reference to 1 Corinthians 15:52 with the "in the twinkling of an eye" part. I've also heard a theory that Kamikaze is about the fall of mankind and the chorus being how Revelation 19 refers to Jesus coming back on a white horse. Of course Meteor Shower has a lot of references to various Bible verses. I feel like there are a few I'm missing, but those are the biggest ones that I feel like are harder to understand without the references.
Finally after 15 yrs of listening to owl City, a worthy man has appeared who really understand the escapism, surrealism, poetry concept of Owl city.
So glad you liked it 🙇
Amazing video, that's such commitment! I adore everything Adam does and it's great to see other people who feel the same. Choosing a favourite Owl City song or album would be like choosing my favourite child... if I had any!
I feel that! His music is so special to me and it feels so hard to put one above another or even begin to try to pick a favorite. Honestly, you could turn on just about any of these songs any day and I'd be so happy.
Thank you for checking out the video!! And welcome to the channel! :)
This was so fun! Adam has been my favorite artist for a long time. Small correction on "Firebird" though - that song was actually about his wife's brother. I remember seeing somewhere that Adam wrote the song from the now-Mrs. Abbey Young's perspective, going back through her memory lane with her about how close she was with her brother growing up.
Hey there! Thank you so much, that's so cool to know! Someone reminded me that he was an only child, but I didn't know what's who the song was about. I'm so impressed at his ability to tell and story in such an intimate and personal way. It feels like that connection is deeply personal to him 😅
Thanks so much for taking the time to watch this -- I know it's a super long video!!! 🙏🥳 I'm glad it was fun!! Hope I'll catch you around the channel more!
NO WAY BRO PUT ALL MY FRIENDS ABOVE RAINBOW VEINS! (lol in al seriousness great video)
Oh. My. Gosh. 😅 I think over the course of filming my scale shifted a little. Honestly, out of all the comments, this is definitely my most egregious mistake in the video. Back to back, I would've never done that 😂😂😂
Also thank you for checking out the video! :)
I stopped listening to Owl City for awhile, but after his newest album released I've been listening more than ever and i forgot how good his stuff is!! And how much i just enjoy it.
Awesome video! Some of my favorite Owl City songs are:
Angels
Alligator Sky - No Rap Version
Thunderstruck
Captains of the Sky
Fireflies
And many many more!
Man those are awesome picks! Captains of the Sky just gets me out of bed in the morning lol!
Thank you for checking out the video! And welcome to the channel 🤗
Alligator Sky is so great. That line where says take it in with your breath against the glass is awesome!
@@jonahdonahue2930 Yeah that imagery is great!
thunderstruck is crazy bro like how does he just make a perfect 2010 edm pop banger
I got recommended this video, thought “oh I know a couple of his songs, I’ll watch” and how I have like 20 new songs to get obsessed over.
For years I’ve loved to say that my favourite Christmas song was by owl city, humbug is such a fun song to share with people over Christmas
Whenever I hear Owl City music (excluding the more Christian and country stuff) I always think of the aesthetics of mid-to-late 2010s and maybe modern anime a little - Makoto Shinkai’s stuff especially, or that one movie on Netflix that draws a lot from his style (Bubble, I think). I can really easily picture an AMV using clips from Makoto Shinkai’s work set to an Owl City song
Awesome video, so glad I found this on my recommended page! My top songs are definitely Dementia, On The Wing, Galaxies, and Alligator Sky (but it's so hard to choose a favorite haha)
Thank you so much! I'm glad youtube is recommending it to people! ☺️
Those are great picks. On the Wing is such a great song especially. But yeah, choosing between any of them is tough 😅 even ranking them makes me feel so guilty lol
Thanks so much for making this video! None of my friends or family like Owl City, but to see someone love and enjoy these songs the same way I do really helps me feel like I'm not alone. My favorite song's gotta be Saltwater Room, it's just such a beautifully composed atmospheric masterpiece and I'm instantly relaxed whenever I hear it.
Thank you so much for checking it out!!! Yesss the Saltwater Room is probably my all-time favorite Owl City song. It's soooo hard to pick, but it's just a beautiful song that I really connect with lyrically.
So glad to meet another person who loves Adam's music 🤗 Welcome to the channel!
Be Brave!!!!!! I know like 99% of his songs by heart but that song just speaks to me on a whole other level. From the calm loneliness to the discovery to the grand revelation… each playback I can relive through Adam’s lens, over and over again, what it feels like to fall in love. And as a currently single dude who’s been in love before that really hits home :’)
Yesss!! That song puts falling in love into words so beautifully. I really love it. Everytime I hear it I want to happy cry. I'm with you there on the singleness 😅🤜
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I hope to catch you around in the comments again :)
I love that I’m just now realizing that a lot of owl city fans have similar back stories in their love and connection to owl city.
Adam young has taken a good permanent chunk of my brain and resided there just jamming at all time since 2009 when I was 11. My favorite childhood memories are taking walks in the field in my back yard with headphones listening to owl city just escaping the world and freely feeling like myself. I continued taking these walks up to current. Since I gave birth to my son last year I haven’t been able to walk as much but I make sure to take time to play his music and give myself moments in time to escape once again into such a wonderful place❤️
That same thing has blown me away since making this video. So many people, like yourself, have shared how big of a piece of your life his music has been. His early music especially is just that perfect kind of "escape to my own little world" kind of music. I've always connected with it so, so much.
Also, huge congratulations on your son (even if it's a year late 😅)! And welcome to the channel :) I hope I'll catch you around more!
This makes my hyperfixation happy. thank you
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 🤗 🤗 I love owl city so much
I'm having a blast watching this. I feel so edged on all the song sampling 😂
Not gonna lie, I screamed at you over Montana! Those soft piano notes following the first chorus choke me up every time. The day I heard Montana for the first time, I called my boss to take a personal day and drove 4 hours to a ski resort on a whim, it was awesome.
Also, mad respect for the vinegar shot. That looked brutal 🤣 Flowers of the Field is an obscure one, for sure, but so romantic!
Thank you so much!! Oh man it was so tough deciding what hits of the songs to cut out! I'm sorry for the teasing!
I don't think I'll ever stop feeling bad about Montana 😅 I really did that song dirty but have since upgraded it to an A tier. I think I was just in a mood. I respect your spontaneity so much. That ski trip is such a sick story! ☺️
Welcome to the channel!!! ☺️
My favorite Owl City songs are:
1.) The Saltwater Room
2.) On The Wing
3.) How I Became The Sea
4.) Fuzzy Blue Lights
5.) Strawberry Avalanche
Sky Sailing:
1.) Sailboats
2.) Brielle
3.) Blue And Red
An Owl City song I don’t hear talked about much is Clap Your Hands, which was in Everybody’s Golf. It’s so catchy and fun, and never fails to put me in a good mood. I even remember turning it on driving away from my high school graduation, blasting it as loud as my eardrums could handle and shamelessly singing along. It’s so great😁
Oh man, I thought I covered this one but I guess I missed it! I love that even on the tracks he does for movies and games, he doesn't slack; they're still just more great Adam songs that could go on an album without a blink!
That's such a great memory too! 💃 Continue to tie important moments in your life to his music!
Also thanks for dropping a comment! Hope I'll see ya around the channel more Nicki :)
@@JoelAbshier You covered it briefly around 1:09:00
@@dustrose8101 oooh thank you! I had thought I had covered it, but just assumed I had missed it 😅
I’m just really happy someone appreciates the instrumental break in Tip of the Iceberg as much as I do haha. That song is so underrated.
Favourite song? Geez, that’s a tough one. Depends on my mood. If I really had to pick though, it would be Hot Air Balloon or Lonely Lullaby.
Yessssss!! Finally someone else who feels me on that song. It really is underrated. I could listen to that instrumental on loop lol.
Oof those are such great songs. They're also sooo different
I wish we sensitive people could gather in a wooden cabin and talk about our feelings and dreams so warmly 🥲 ‘sailboats wish that they were stars’…
️🤗❤️️🤗❤️️🤗❤️🤗
Yes please!!!
Owl City is that artist that I listened to all a time as a kid and is someone I keep coming back to randomly now.
The Tornado has really got me back into listening to him regularly though, I really love the storytelling in that song and the double meaning (at least from my interpretation) of it being about going through a depressive episode, while I don’t suffer from depression personally I know people that have and I find this song really powerful. At that moment that’s my favourite, but there are loads of songs he’s done that I can listen to over and over again and never get bored of.
Great list, I haven’t listened to all of these before so will definitely be filling in the gaps over the next few days!
Heya! I'm so glad you liked the list and I hope it's introduced you to at least a few new songs that you'll like! Adam definitely is an amazing storyteller -- I really think the latest album shows off that skill so much. The Tornado is one that's really grown on me more and more as I listen to Coco Moon. Glad you love it too!
I must say Cinematic changed my life!! I will never abandon the album no matter what! :)
Couldn't agree more!! That album took me by surprise with how much I love it ❤️❤️
Thanks for dropping a comment and welcome to the channel!
All things bright and beautiful did the same to me :)
These ranking every song videos are overkill. What's next, ranking every section of every song so you can churn out like 7 hours of content?
Tbh I don't think I have the energy to make more of these full artist discography videos 🤣🤣 I've made two and they take so many hours to make and an unbelievable amount of time to edit 😅 I might retire from this genre and just do single albums lol
This is all I’ve ever wanted to watch someone do. Thank you for your dedication to this! It was so fun to listen along and remember all of these Owl City gems.
Thank you so much Devin!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it :) :)
And welcome to the channel!!
Interesting tier list, can't say I agree with all of it but I'm happy to see Be Brave getting some love. That song is some powerful stuff.
Thanks for taking the time to check it out! Even my opinions have changed some since making this video, so I feel you 🤣 Be Brave will definitely always be a favorite for me, like you said, it's just so powerful.
... My mom has the ocean eyes cd and when I was younger she always use to play it for us while she was cleaning the house, her favourite was always fireflies. MY favourite was Dental Care though, haha. Now that I've actually listened to his other music I'd have to say The Tornado and Silhouette are tied as my favourites.
Oh my gosh Dental Care is such a good song though. That one and rugs from me to you always make me laugh.
I actually just release a cover of Silhouette today, if you're interested!
I listened to take me somewhere nice when my grandad died and it reminded me so much of him of my gran when they were younger so it’s ultimate tier frfr
That is literally so sweet 🥹 I'm so glad that song has that place for you
So glad this video was recommended. Only been a fan a few years, but he quickly became one of my faves and I absolutely love each and every song of his, so to see someone else share that passion is really cool.
I also went into this expecting to know every song as I've done many deep dives into his discography, and yet you still managed to teach me some, like what is mr heartbreak lol, need to go listen to that immediately.
My favourite song of his is probably the same as yours, The Saltwater Room, its just so beautiful and atmospheric, and both versions have something different about them that I love. Anyway, thanks for making this, and I look forward to exploring more of your channel
Heya! Thank you so much for checking out the video! It feel like it's rare to meet someone who got into him recently -- I think that's so cool!! So glad to meet another lover of The Saltwater Room. I'm sure I rambled on about how much I love it during this video, but it's really my absolute favorite! The lyrics and mood is just so good!
Thank you again for taking the time to check this out! I'm so glad you liked it! Welcome to the channel and I really hope I'll catch you around the comments more! I upload every week :)
You should absolutely watch Cast Away. It’s a good movie plus I think you’ll appreciate the lyrics of Kelly Time more.
I love how Adam reuses themes and lyrics throughout all his music. My favourite is that the “Cause I walk alone” part of Silhouette (2:45 - 3:10) is the same melody as the “I don’t feel so alone” (1:30 - 1:50) part of Vanilla Twilight. I’ve always wondered if those two songs are a prequel/sequel-type of situation.
Thanks so much for the comment! I think I'll make some time to watch it just so I can understand the lyrics to Kelly Time better! ☺️
And yeah, you are so right! It's almost like in a good musical where characters and feelings have different themes associated to them... But Adam has been doing it for like 15 years, weaving it into all of his music!
Also, huge welcome to the channel! 🤗🤗
I noticed a lot of others, but somehow didn't pick up on that. I noticed the Adam, Check Please and Wonderfilled, or the theory that Super Honeymoon and Under The Circus Lights, or even Blue and Red and Hospital Flowers potentially being about the same accident.
My most favorite Owl City song is Can't Live Without You. I wonder why it isn't as popular as some of his other songs. I personally think it's an underrated masterpiece.
Funny enough, I probably agree with about 90% of your ranking. Great job with the list.
PS- Shout out Shaq in the Vanilla Twilight music video
EDIT: just got to the end of the video. My favorite 2 songs are When Can I See You Again & Wolf Bite.
.....and hurry up and listen to the Waving Through A Window cover. It's amazing.
Thank you so much! This was such a fun video to make. I'm glad you agreed with them!
Also your two favorites are so good. I covered When Can I See You Again and I've been dying to make a cover of Wolf Bite but haven't gotten to it yet!
Let's go Shaq! 🏀
Also! I skipped all of his covers for this video, but I definitely think I need to make a followup video going over them. There are so many good ones people have asked me about
Field Notes is a musical retelling of Jesus Parable of the Hidden Treasure so it's got even more layers. It's a really good one.
Until My Muse came out, If My Heart was a House was my favorite love song from Owl City. Now it just depends on which one Im listening to at the time.
Hot Air Baloon just makes me smile every time I hear it.
I remember "Fireflies" helped me through a tough patch in middle school, I was pleasantly surprised when I heard it years later as a meme
Haha, I feel like Fireflies has had like 3 waves of being a hugely popular song: Wild New Sound, Meme Song, and now a Nostalgia Song
Thanks for doing this!
Found myself screaming ADAM IS AN ONLY CHILD a few times though
Haha, yesssss I totally should've known that 🤭 A few people have told me I was wrong on that. But thank you so much for checking out the video! I'm so glad you liked it :) Hope I'll catch you around here more!
this made me subscribe hahaha, been hunting down reaction videos for adam's new album cuz,.. well just because want to see how others reacts to his music hahahhaa
Thanks so much for the sub! 🤗 How are do you like the new album? Favorite track?
@@JoelAbshier so worth the wait man!, Tornado has been a rollercoaster feels, and it just amazes me how a music can do this to the listeners hahahaha just caught me off guard.
Yeah, that song is just wild. When it gets to the biggest moment it makes me shake
Few people loved owlcity to much and Im happy you are one of us.
Indeed! I myself am going to one of his concerts in Anaheim on October 4th, can't wait!
I absolutely love his music ❤️ thank you so much for checking out the video!
Oh sick!! I'm going to see him in September for the first time just a week before that! We'll both be having amazing weeks! 🎉
My daughter fell in love with fireflies and introduced Owl City songs to me and I absolutely love love his songs. Her first ever concert was Owl City and we went together.
Aww that's so awesome!! 🤗 I love that you got into the music she was into!!
The funny thing for me is I always pictured Adam Young as having a sad or neutral expression for most of his songs but when I saw him in concert he had a big smile the whole show so it threw me off in the best way.
Yesss! That's actually so true. I could totally see him being more lost in space and dramatic. But in concert he looked so happy! When did you see him??
@@JoelAbshier September of last year in Sacramento. Been a fan for a good 12 years and this is the first concert I went to.
Ocean eyes album was my childhood playlist. I remember when I was in the car, long time ago, maybe when I was 6 or 7 with my kindle fire 7 I listened to the whole ocean eyes album (deluxe edition album) Owl city will forever be one of my favorite artist.
I love that!! 🤗 Ocean Eyes is definitely the soundtrack of my childhood haha. I can still turn it on literally any day and love it just as much.
I was so happy to go to my first concert in 2009, an Owl City concert in Baltimore, MD and now 14 years later I'm going to my second Owl City concert in October ❤
That's so amazing!! You went so early on! I'm going to see him for the first time in just a few weeks and I can't wait!!
Strawberry avalanche disrespect lol I love that song, one of my fav.
Oh no 🫣🫣🫣 I'm sowwy 👉👈
You are crazy, but crazy like me. I like you
🤣 🤣 🤣 This might be my new favorite comment
I tend to gravitate towards his melancholy tunes. Three of my favorites are Silhouette.. My Muse, and If My Heart Was A House. 💖
Those are some wonderful picks
I love how this video found its way to my recommendations. Very happy to come across an Adam Young fan like me, we're a rare breed! I love you and (even though I'm just a few minutes into it,) I love this video!!
Thank you so much for checking out the video! I know... it's a long one to consume in one sitting haha. I'm glad you're liking it though!
And thanks for dropping a comment! Welcome to the channel!! :)
I loved this video, you covered so much! I've been listening to Owl City ever since his first album came out, and I've been loving his music ever since. And you introduced me to a few hidden gems I hadn't found yet, but can now add to my playlist(s)! Thank you!
Thank you!! I'm so glad you liked it 🤗🤗 also glad I could introduce a few new ones! I absolutely love his music 🎶
Thanks for commenting and welcome to the channel, Sierra! ☺️
It's so nice to finally find someone who also crazy about Adam Young!
Yey!! ☺️ So glad to meet someone else who loves his music! ☺️ What are some of your favorite songs?
Designer Skyline is my favorite OC song. Maybe I’m Dreaming is my favorite album. Rainbow Veins is one of my top 3 on that album. Super Honeymoon is my number 1 haha.
I absolutely love those picks! Everytime I look back on this video I feel like I was too harsh on Rainboy Veins. That song and Super Honeymoon are 🔥🔥🔥
@@JoelAbshier Haha I was actually going to say "if you listen to Rainbow Veins enough be careful it'll grow on you"!
@@arenmoore2516 that whole album is like that. I can't believe how good it is for how early it was in his career.
@@JoelAbshier Totally! So true.
Great video! My ranking would definitely be a little different but I do agree that Adam doesn't make bad music so its hard to rate it all. To answer your question, I can't pick one one song as my favourite. its actually impossible, I think. Adams music is so closely associated with different stages and memories in my life that I couldn't choose just one. I'll just say I enjoy 99% of his music immensely and I am enjoying Coco Moon an awful lot with Kelly Time and Under the Circus Lights being my favs.
Thank you so much! Yeah, even looking back at this video I have some songs I'd like to change already! I love his music so much and it's hard to put anything beneath another. Coco Moon has been seriously fire though!
I think you're experience with his music is so cool. I totally relate to having songs that were really significant at certain stages of my life, but have been replaced with some different ones. That's one of the coolest things about following someone for so long.
@@JoelAbshier I'm sure any list I made would change week to week. I went through a period years ago listening to All Things Bright and Beautiful on repeat for months and completely burnt myself out on it. I've only just recently come back to that album to re-experience and re-appreciate it all over again. Ocean Eyes and Maybe I'm Dreaming were my gaming albums as a kid and I loved listening to them while playing RPGs. Adam's music has shaped me so much and I'm looking forward to whatever he creates next.
It's so cool how the experience of an album can completely change depending on where you're at. Adam's music is really perfect for that too, with his style of lyrics. I'm deep in a Coco Moon phase right now, haha.
This is a great video, I'm so glad somebody finally made this
Thank you so much!! I'm so glad you liked it 😊
It's so true to the lyrics🤣. Some guy had a really good comment on it: "It's just some random thoughts that pops off in his mind🤣"
1:56:23 I definitely consider it as being all imagination, as he says "lets spend the afternoon in a *cold* hot air balloon" :D I imagine some kids playing in a old hot air balloon that was stashed away in a basement.
My favorite Owl City songs are my favorites for different reasons so I can't just pick one sorry. xD
I can probably narrow it down to Lucid Dream, Silhouette, Up All Night, Vanilla Twilight, Fireflies, On the Wing, Lonely Lullaby, If My Heart was a House.
I am very thankful for To The Sky since that was the OC first song I heard, playing on the credits of the owl movie xP.
I like the structure of old Saltwater Room but the new one is definitely crisper and cleaner.
On The Wing is such a timeless song top tier for me! Also, not sure if it was mentioned, but Adam's cover of T Swift's Enchanted is also cool
Heck yes it is! I'm glad he's still playing it live so much!
Also enchanted is sooo good too. I actually skipped over his covers for this video though
my favorite owl city song is how i became the sea, but my favorite adam song is if the trees had eyes they’d be gazing at you on aquarium
I totally missed Aquarium on this video 😭🙈 But those are such great picks. I feel like How I Became the Sea has grown on me over this last year
Owl City is basically the only artist I listen to! He is the GOAT!
Yesss! I love him so much
Finished the video and loved it. Your dedication is just amazing. Gotta say, my number 1 Owl City song constantly changes, but I think it's a tossup between Wolf Bite and Cave In. Midsummer Station is my easy winner for best album; everything but Take it All Away is a masterpiece or just really darn good. Again though, thanks for making this video, and I'll be excited for your takes on whatever Adam does next :)
Hey thank you so so much! 🙏 So glad you liked the video! Cave In is such an amazing song. I was so glad he did it when I saw him for the first time this year.
I'm already gearing up for the Coco Moon Deluxe tier list next week 🤭 🤭
Bro thank you so much for making this video, it makes the world a better place :) So glad I stumbled upon it!
Thank you so much!! I'm so glad you liked it!
My favorite album by Owl City is Cinematic. It just honestly gives me nostalgia, especially New York City and Montana. I was 9 when it came out, and I am turning 16 this year, so it's the soundtrack to my late childhood. I love all of these songs, and kudos to Adam and how he's created amazing songs over his career and I am glad to call him one of my all-time favorite artists.
West Coast Friendship, Swimming in Miami and Cave In have always been my favourites ❤ Thank you so much for this video! I've been an Owl City fan since 2014 when Ultraviolet came out. Amazing!!
Thank you so much for checking out the video and for dropping a comment!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I really love those 3 songs! That pre-chorus to West Coast Friendship gets my hyped 😅 And I personally relate to Cave In so much!
Thank you again and welcome to the channel!. I hope I'll see you around the comments more! Also, I saw you upload a bunch of Nightcore versions of Owl City songs on your channel and checked them out! 🥳
@@JoelAbshier Thank you so much!
As a Pop Punk fan, Dementia is my 100% favorite. Up All Night, The Saltwater Room, and The Real World is up there too. (From the new Coco Moon my favorite is Sons of Thunder)
Thanks for commenting Suzy! 🤗 Nice to meet another Owl City fan!! Also, I love your picks! Saltwater Room and Real World are some of my absolute favorites too
@@JoelAbshier Fireflies got me into OC when the song first came out been a fan ever since. 😀
@@iuxbaesuzystanYessss
Sky Sailing was such a hidden gem when I discovered it like 4 years ago. I knew he had a lot of side projects before Owl City, and the amount of gems on that one album is crazy. All Things Bright and Beautiful is also highly underrated. It was released right after Ocean Eyes, and unfortunately was never as popular, but it has so many great songs, many of his best.
Honestly, I feel bad for all the people that only know him for Fireflies, because they are missing out on an entire world of awesome music. Fireflies is his magnum opus, and it'll undoubtedly be the song he's remembered most for, but he is certainly much more than that. I'm glad more people are realizing that.
Hey Nick! Thanks so much! Yeah, I couldn't agree more. It's amazing how much of his work isn't really tracked anywhere. I wish all of his side-projects were available under one simple "Adam Young" name so we didn't have to work so hard to hunt them down.
I agree that All Things Bright and Beautiful is an awesome one. Honestly, it never has a dull track on the whole thing and has such good ones like Plant Life, Deer in the Headlights, and my personal fave Yacht Club 😅 Haven't found many people who like that one with me though.
I always feel so mixed. Like, I'm so glad that people know Fireflies and that it's so beloved, but it does break my heart that that is the only song most people know. He has so many great songs and such a wide range of musical and lyrical talent. I just wish I could share it with more people!
Also, big welcome to the channel! I hope to catch ya around in the comments more! :)
I was one of those people who only knew him for one song. 10+ years later I listened to his discography and I love it!
Reading this coment section I think I am one of the newest fans, only starting in Janurary 2022 after 'good times' was randomly played on the radio one night.
I didn't have a favorite group at the time and as I discovered more songs I liked him even more until now that he is officially my favorite "group" / singer. I can't wait to see him live one day although I still need to listen to a lot of OWL CITY's songs ( I probably only listened to 20% lol 😅😅)
Hey! Welcome to the channel (and the Owl City fans 🥳)! Honestly, before making this video I had no idea how many people there were who had been fans so long. The response to this video has really surprised me.
So glad you stumbled across Adam's music last year 🤗 And I love that he's already your favorite in such a short time! What's been your favorite song of his that you've heard so far??
@@JoelAbshier it's hard to choose one as I keep discovering new songs every day but if I had to pick one right now it would be Cinematic, On the wing and Back Home (all from different albums 😜)
My favorite songs are Plant Life and Tip of the Iceberg!
Tip of the iceberg definitely deserves more love!
As a massive owl city fan, it’s so interesting to see someone who loves owl city and Adam young, but have like the opposite taste in his music! But I love it! We have some similar opinions but some very different and I loved comparing x
That's so awesome! Yeah I love seeing comments and hearing what songs people love and why, especially when they're different opinions than mine. Actually a few comments on here have made me like some songs I ranked lower even more
Lucid Dreams destroys me every single time i listen to it. I have felt the way it makes my insides surge, for anything else. It never fails to make me feel like im hurdling through the middle of a cosmos.
Yeah Lucid Dream just hits! I feel like that's one of the few songs where he goes for max intensity (like Tornado) and it's soooo good.
