"If your household appliances wrote love songs while you were away on vacation, their cheerful blips and bleeps would pour out the windows, sweep through the neighborhood like candy-coated tidal waves, and you would return home to find... crowds of people standing on your lawn, clapping and singing along to the happiest pop melodies imaginable."
~Welcome to Owl City~

Here are my thoughts on an amazing musician. His name is Adam R. Young, but you may know him better by the name Owl City. If you haven't heard his music, you are missing out and I strongly urge you to go buy his CD. He has some of the most creative lyrics you can imagine; here are my favorite lyrics from each song off his album Ocean Eyes.


Ocean Eyes (2009):
1. Cave In
"If the bombs go off
The sun will still be shining
Because we've heard it said that every mushroom cloud
Has a silver lining "

2. The Bird and The Worm
"If you're my girl
Swirl me around your room with feeling
And as we twirl
The glow in the dark stars on your ceiling
Will shine for us
As love sweeps over the room
'Cause we tend to make
Each other blush"

3. Hello Seattle
"Take me above your light
Carry me through the night
Hold me secure in flight
Sing me to sleep tonight"

4. Umbrella Beach
"Home will always be here, unseen, outta sight
Where I disappear and hide
I think dreamy things as I'm waving goodbye
So I'll spread out my wings and fly"

5. The Saltwater Room
"Time together is never quite enough
When you and I are alone, I’ve never felt so at home
What will it take to make or break this hint of love?
Only time, only time"

6. Dental Care
"I'd rather pick flowers
instead of fight"
"Golf and alcohol don't mix
And that's why I don't drink and drive"

7. Meteor Shower
"I can finally see
That you're right there beside me"
"I am not my own
For I have been they knew
Please don't let me go
I desperately need you"

8. On the Wing
"I spend my coldest nights
alone, awake, and thinking of
the weekend we were in love."

9. Fireflies
"I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems"

10. The Tip of the Iceberg
"Snow drifts build up and enfold us
As we wait out this winter storm
So we snuggle close in the darkness
And keep each other so warm"

11. Vanilla Twilight
"The stars lean down to kiss you
And I lie awake and miss you"
"I'll sit on the front porch all night
Waist-deep in thought because when I think of you
I don't feel so alone"
"As many times as I blink
I'll think of you tonight"

12. Tidal Wave
"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"
