GOD YES RED HAIR DOPE ERA JIMIN š BABIE BUT MAKE IT SEXY š„µš„µ AND OMG YESDGFHG MY FAVE ERA IS HYYH. ORANGE HAIRED JIMIN. PLS. HEāS EVERYTHING. I WISH I HAD GOTTEN INTO THEM DURING THAT. LIKE THAT ERA IS ..... SOMEHOW SO FUCKING WILD AND STILL SO ASSURING AND CALMING ????? KEEPS ME ROOTED LIKE IDK HOW TO EXPLAIN DFGHJKL AND WINGS TOO DAMN I WISH I WAS HERE TO LIVE ALL THOSE AMAZING ERAS. but even though i wish i had gotten into them earlier... i think i found them when i needed them the most. I was going through a very difficult time last year and they somehow they made me feel so fucking safe and at home that the connection was instant. honestly iāve never stanned or felt a connection with any celebrity as strong as the one i feel with bangtan. its like... they donāt know i exist but they still know EXACTLY what im feeling and what to say or do at that time to make me feel comforted. Its weird god but its true :((( SORRY I GOT EMO I JUST LOVE THEM A LOT SDFGHJKL

my highlights list of Owl City songs
maybe youāve only heard like āfirefliesā and you dont have shit taste and arenāt a coward and so youāve always hoped iād make a list of imo extra standout owl city songs; maybe i just wanted to make something like this list even though i didnt try that hard to cut it down and it would change every day and i dont think i dislike any of his songs and could give reasons why i especially like some element of pretty much each of them
Assuming Everyoneās Also Heard: VANILLA TWILIGHT (Ocean Eyes), GOOD TIME (The Midsummer Station) theyāre both amazing. vanilla twilight is intense and good for when youāre looking at a nice sunset and feeling brave. shaq is in the music video. that carly rae jepsen and adam young happened to team up was a great move by whoever initiated it, and good time is iconic, and thereās a version where carly rae jepsen is also singing the chorus and its better but i dont really know how to search for it in particular because its otherwise identical
***HELLO SEATTLE*** (Ocean Eyes) this was on the radio too so it couldve gone in the above section but it needs its own. im not sure iād say this is officially my favorite owl city song but if someone hadnt heard anything by owl city this is the one iād choose to represent his entire vibe and be the first impression. and youād think nobody could possibly remix it but adam young himself did and its fantastic and relatable even though the only lyrics are the occasional words āhello seattle.ā technically the first version of this song is on the album āof juneā and theyre both good but i like the ocean eyes version best
DESIGNER SKYLINE (Of June) the most upbeat song on the album probably. adam young is very very good at lyrics and some elements of this include his imagery, rhythm, alliteration, wordplay, and general ability to make the words in a song both euphonic in the sound along but also be very Pretty content wise. ok im most serious about how good he is with lyrics so maybe iāll be more concise after this one
FUZZY BLUE LIGHTS (Of June) owl city songs arenāt depressing or even really Sad even when theyāre sad (w/ some exceptionsā¦cough silhouette) but theyāre good if you are / have been a Sad Person Who Lives In Their Head because thats what a lot of the songs are about / the perspective theyre from. this one sounds like that and also like an overcast day
***IF MY HEART WAS A HOUSE*** (Ocean Eyes) the Best love song of the whole discography imo. it goes hard as fuck. i donāt date but for the duration of this song i have a gf/bf/nb-f
THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG (Ocean Eyes) one of the best and another one of the best love songs. im especially partial to the winter theme now o course. this super cool thing happens in the middle with amazing lyrics and this volume effect. the instrumental versions of this and if my heart was a house are also killer
ANGELS (All Things Bright And Beautiful) adam young loves jesus a whole lot; this song is about literal christian angels. i love the alliteration of the lines āin the dust on the cellar staircase / a pair of footprints followed me / i saw a flicker in the fake fireplaceā. not many owl city songs are from both an upbeat perspective AND have upbeat music, and this oneās chorus really goes for it. adam y.ās pretty excited about jesus stuff i think and so when he channels that in songs especially about jesus, itās pretty energetic. but for the most part his songs arent overtly christian save maybe some passing references, so if thats a concern dont worry
***GALAXIES*** (ATBAB) for example, this one definitely has a jesus line. but this is just one of the references to an unspecified āheā which means it could also just be interpreted as gay. (owl city belongs to the gays btw) and this really is a song to go ham to and listen to it with stereo speakers because one of my fave parts relies on that. the intro is a bit jarring because the outro of ājanuary 28, 1986ā is meant to transition into this one
DEMENTIA (The Midsummer Station) iād put this as a highlight but recognize its coz its a personal fave. it sounds like it would be incredibly depressing of course but it has nothing to do with actual dementia thank god. itās a love song and very upbeat in both sound and content. iām hugely partial to the lyrics, especially the pairs āevery light in the night flickered in and out / every bone in my back shivered up and downā; āevery voice in my head shouted yes and no / every freight train of thought fought to stop and goā; āevery tear in my eyes dripped and wouldnāt drop / every disc in my spine shook and couldnāt stopā and āevery hand let me go that i tried to hold / every warm-hearted love left me freezing coldā
KISS ME BABE, ITāS CHRISTMAS TIME (single) he has a bunch of random christmas singles and this ones the best. the titles ridiculous and i love it, and the song isnāt really about anything and i love it. it is such a bop. āpeppermint winterā and āhumbugā are the other best xmas ones
SHOOTING STAR (Midsummer) half the songs on this album are summery dancey songs about having fun with other people (usually owl city songs are about being lonely or having fun with one other person tops by cloudwatching, so this album is unusual in that regard and rocks out a bit which is also unusual as per owl cityās tendency to sound really dreamy or otherwise fairly light. it bothers people who are in the āthe old stuff is betterā camp of everything) and the other half are upbeat summery songs that are encouraging and tell you youāre a good and special person. this one is the latter and a lot of fun. i like the lyrics and melody of the lines āfan a flame so hot it melts our heartsā and ālet your colors burn and brightly burst / into a million sparks that all disperse / and illuminate a world thatāll try to bring you downā (but not this time)
GOLD (Midsummer) same category song as above (title refers to āi know youāre goldā). itās great and sung to a person about to go off and do something and youāre telling them they can totally do it because theyāre great. i maintain that one of the Owl City Signature Moves is The Affectionate Sigh: heās very good at working in words sung with a rising/falling tone, a la a sigh, and its an upbeat delivery not like a āim sadā sigh. when it happens in this song is my favorite part of the whole thing, at the end of the line: āyouāll never be far, iām keeping you near, inside of my heart, youāre he^reā
BEAUTIFUL TIMES (Ultraviolet EP) the songs on ultraviolet all have a super cool sound, kind of mixing the more loud/layered/noisy quality of midsummer station with the more introverted vibe he usually has, and are all kind of about being stressed and sad but looking to something or someone and kind of seeing a chance to feel okay. āthis isnāt the endā is completely about a girl whoās dad kills himself but it has the really good line āyou fight to survive cuz you made it this farā and otherwise has a technically uplifting end but without much of the āyou shouldnt kill yourself because life is magicalā bs which is useless and irrelevant imo but instead the ālife is chaotic and you cant say the future is going to be good but it exists and meanwhile youāre not dead yetā which is an infinitely more thoughtful approach. but anyways, about beautiful times: its also about being happy but usually being really sad (āthis fight of my life is so hard (so hard, so hard) but iām gonna survive, oh oh these are beautiful times,ā) and also isnt very patronizing about the subject (the prospect/aspiration of feeling happy when youāre a Sad Person) and frames everything in having had damagingly negative feelings while still being overall positive. i really like the way he sings into the first few verses with an echo of what will be the first couple of words, overlapping slightly and growing in volume before taking you right into the actual start of the verse. this is the most upbeat sounding song of the EP imo
THUNDERSTRUCK (Mobile Orchestra) the intro alone is killer. one of the most Go Hard to songs of the owl city discography. proudly carries the tradition of singing about ghosts (see: plant life, a fun-to-sing-along-to song all about an actual haunted house)
BACK HOME (Mo Orch) this album has a lot of sounds that, while familiar, are different from any of the other albums, like this one which is very very country. it goes hard as fuck. it uses the word āfirefliesā for the first time since fireflies. i love it
CANāT LIVE WITHOUT YOU (M.O.) personal fave of the album is mostly why this is here. as the title suggests its a dramatic love song, i love how pumped the chorus is and the way the outro sounds. Love To Sing Along
***WHEN CAN I SEE YOU AGAIN?*** this is peak āhappy music, sad lyricsā even though thats everywhere in owl city music, its pretty rare to find songs that are straightforwardly happy. this song is a banger and lyrically crushing. i guess its in the ābittersweetā category like a shit ton of owl city songs are, but still. this song changed our lives
I HOPE YOU THINK OF ME has this sick chill drumbeat throughout the song which is kind of rare. it kind of fuses his underwater type sound with his going hard as hell sound. like, it would be like the choreography of ābet on itā if i was listening to this song while standing up. you get really into the lyrics. i love this part at the end where the music pulls back for just a second while he goes āthe thought is KILLING me!ā shoutout to ākamikazeā where he yells half of it and its invigorating, shoutout to āpaper tigersā which is an amazing song that hasnt shown up on an album
SUNBURN (Ocean Eyes) possibly the cutest owl city song. it has a sweet guitar riff. cute sweet, not sickass sweet.
HOT AIR BALLOON (Ocean Eyes) possibly the happiest owl city song. extremely cute but not as cute as sunburn but happier than sunburn.
BEAUTIFUL MYSTERY killer intro, really upbeat, the melody of the verses is great and the chorus goes pretty hard
RAINBOW VEINS (Maybe Iām Dreaming) another top level cute and happy song (ācheer up and dry your damp eyes, and tell me when it rains, and iāll blend up that rainbow above you, and shoot it through your veinsā) and has a top tier chilled out whispery interlude/bridge/whatever that then throws you into this pumped up finale
THE YACHT CLUB (ATBAB) speaking of being thrown into a pumped up finale, this does that too. so does āumbrella beach.ā this one goes hardest imo and the live version of it goes even harder than that. plus the lyrics are amazing and the alliteration is stellar
***SUPER HONEYMOON*** (Maybe Iām Dreaming) consistently one of my top tier faves. i like the semi staccato delivery of parts of the lyrics, the music is fantastic, also very Classic Example of owl city
SKY DIVER (MID) super dreamy and pretty and bittersweet sounding, classic
HALCYON a bop!!! electronica on electronica
SLEEPWALKER so fun and sounds like a song to be going to the beach to
YOUTOPIA (ft. Adam Young) obvs not owl city but iām putting it in, the full 4 min version. not only dreamy and bittersweet but one thing i always love in music is an unresolved musical phrase repeating on end. thereās also this part in the middle where his vocals kind of layer and grow and it has a long E sound and when he lingers on the long E its one of those things that would be grating except for its actually great because of that. see: honey and the bee
MR. HEARTACHE (ft. Adam Young) a total bop about being sad. like i wanna jump around to this song. see: tokyo, the song by adam young (owl city) featuring the artists of this one, SEKAI NO OWARI, which has my fave lyric āare you having fun yet, iāll send you the sunset, i love the mostā
FIREFLIES (Said the Sky remix) the intro to this is like, oh my god. the only fireflies remix the world needs.
UMBRELLA BEACH (Long Lost Sun remix) the original is great but i love this version even more. the finale is fantastic and exuberant
THATāS IT i could include all the songs because i have good things to say and specific things to point out about each of them. for example: dental care is a masterpiece of puns. puns are a running theme in owl city. so is ghosts, the sky, the ocean, and The Affectionate Sigh. if you listen to enough songs you find repetitions of certain phrases like āoh darling i wish you were here,ā āi feel like a postcard, i wish you were here,ā ālike hundreds of postcards, that say i wish you were hereā and someone should make a post of all of them. it would be me if i had a laptop. anyways i like owl city youāre welcome for this post
