I brought the oceanside to its rusty knees as I felt the even tide deep in my shallow dreams.

to the man that started it all:

thank you for being there for me in the rough times. thank you for always being my shoulder to cry on, the music to get me through the late nights, for being sometimes the only reason to make it through into the next day.

i don’t think Adam Young really has any idea how much he’s done for me - thank you for keeping the whimsy alive in this harsh world. thank you for the inspirational lyrics to keep me going. thank you fo helping me process emotions like grief, anger, sadness, anxiety…

12/13 year old keri lu really had no idea what was in store.

16-19 year old keri lu thought it was the end for a while.

26 year old keri lu is thankful that there was a light in the darkest of times.

thank you, adam. you mean the world to me.

Alright in celebration of Mr. City's Coco Moon Tour officially starting, I put together my (subjective) ranking of my favorite 15 Owl City songs -- this was a slideshow I made for a powerpoint party which is why there's time stamps and YouTube videos embedded in the original slides. This list also excludes any side projects like Sky Sailing as well as cover songs.

This is not perfect and I might have gotten my research mixed up so I am open to constructive criticism ✨

15. Designer Skyline 15. Bombshell Blonde 13. Rainbow Veins 12. Lonely Lullaby 11. On the Wing 10. Cave In 9. Learn How to Surf 8. Dinosaur Park 7. June 28th, 1986 + Galaxies 6. Paper Tigers 5. Fireflies 4. Plant Life 3. If My Heart was a House 2. When Can I See You Again 1. Wolf Bite

i cannot believe i got to experience this tonight. this concert was one of the best shows i’ve ever been to. i felt like a kid again, trying to find some comfort in the world and only finding it through owl city.

i saw an interview where he said that he liked to help suggest how you should feel while listening to his songs, he doesn’t want to spell it out for you. it’s open to interpretation essentially

and that’s what adam young did for me starting from 2008/2009 all the way to now. i listened to his music and interpreted it into a way that young keri lu could understand the world and her feelings. she was so emotional, so angry, so not understanding of her own brain at the time and didn’t know how to properly deal, cope, or handle all her intense feelings. but adam young through owl city was able to help her get a hand on some feelings.

young keri lu interpreted into something much different than 25/26 year old keri lu. however young me was able to take those lyrics and apply it to her life was so comforting and it’s only for her to remember.

adam young was honestly one of the biggest influences in my life to keep going. his music stuck it out with me through thick and thin. his music inspired me because:

“this fight of my life is so hard, but i’m gonna survive. these are beautiful times”
