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

Jasper jump scare!

Special shout out to Jasper who was the only CEC character that didn’t terrify me as a kid.

I can’t see Jasper singing a synth/electro pop song, but at the same time..that would be amazing.

Anyways, shout out to all the Owl City/Mid-Summer Station album fans out there! The vibes are unrivaled (I know Ocean Eyes is good but no one talks about the midsummer station album!)

...how...

how did i not know this song

its from midsummer station??? i know that entire album except bombshell blonde somehow??!?

anyways you are absolutely correct about it being an aventurine song XD

also i love that i keep discovering these owl city gems that somehow slipped through my radar XD XD

XD

Tbf it’s one of his songs that doesn’t really sound like an Owl City song, despite the lyrics being absolute witty fire XD

It’s one that took me a while to get to as well so no worries XD

OWL CITY CONCERT DAY!!!

i'm feeling a little emotional at the thought of seeing him perform again 8 years later at the exact same venue :') and im SO exited that he's going to be playing a bunch of old songs!!

& here's some bracelets i made last night to wear to the show!! (i didn't have time to make all of them so i left out mobile orchestra and cinematic which i am okay with lol)

if anyone who sees this is going tonight, feel free to say hi! i'll be the one with blue hair and too many bracelets 💙

[technofinch]

Got some new cds and decided to do some organizing, here's my current collection lmao

[florenmaiden]

sometimes i think about that owl city dude and wonder how he was able to produce 4, arguably 5, flawless albums, both lyrically and melodically and at least 3 of them production-wise as well, and then one day suddenly decide that nah, catchy diverse songs mixing clever puns, playful imagery and poignant lyrics that are both relatable and dreamy is NOT what we're going for anymore. from now on we go with the same synth-melody endlessly rehashed in all the songs, as well as extremely tired lyrical clichés and rambly songs that sound like they were improvised given a random topic, like how you sing about making pancakes while making pancakes

EDIT: Mercury is stationed direct on Jan 1st, 2024. The source I used which stated it was in retrograde until the 18th had a typo.

EDIT: Fixed the zodiac signs for the full moons using a new source.

Given that “Kamikaze” is my favorite Owl City song I got unreasonably excited about this and went to listen at once.

*me listening to The Tornado by Owl City and he starts screaming
