Owl City

Today it was snowing, let's talk about Owl City.  

Owl City was one of my favorite artists in 2019/2020. My favorite songs of his were Fireflies, Vanilla Twilight, Red Hot Balloon, The Bird and The Worm, Unbelievable, Sunburn, Strawberry Avalanche, and Not All Heroes Wear Capes. Fireflies are one of those songs that was literally written for daydreaming when you were 12 years old and imagining scenarios in your head. All of Owl City's openings tickle the ears and rush like running water and it's the coolest thing ever and I love that too. The songs are so catchy, they get stuck in my head all the time: "I'll be out of my mind and you'll be out of ideas pretty soon so let's spend the afternoon in this red hot air balloon"♪ "If you're the bird whenever we pretended summer then I'm the worm I know the part- it's such a bummer but fair is fair"♪ "I like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly it's hard to say I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep cause everything is very as it seems when I fall asleep"  The images my head makes for these lyrics are so pleasing and bring me back to when I was 12. (Being 12 seems like one of those universal experiences that girls have when they read books in bed in the summertime when the windows open).
