I saw a bear in the den He stayed right there where he'd been Asleep like a rug you would make from his skin Out I crept through the trees he lived in I've been hoping for Daisies to push through the floor I want life to grow all around me So I don't feel sad anymore I'd rather waltz then walk through the forest The brook babbles on about nothing at all A quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus A new leaf turns over unwilling to fall
I fanboyed so hard when I found out Matt and Adam were friends and had done songs together. They really sound similar, I'd love to see Adam do a cover of something like Be My Escape, or maybe Hello McFly?
As much as I like Adam's version, I like this version a lot! Matt makes the song have more Relient K-esque lyrics. It felt like I was hearing the song for the first time all over again!
Normally I would talk about how I like the original version better, but I find that Matt sings it just different enough that I'm not bothered. This is almost a completely new song, were it not for the lyrics that remained the same.
I saw a ghost on the stairs Sheets on the tables and chairs Silverware swam with the sharks in the sink Even so I don't know what to think I've been hoping for Daisies to push through the floor I want life to grow all around me So I don't feel sad anymore I'd rather waltz then walk through the forest The trees keep the tempo as they sway in time A quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus If I play your heartstrings, will you strum on mine?
Oh and by the way if you want to hear a small peice of adams version watch his *the Making of All Things Bright and Beautiful" it's like the last 20 second of the video but it's sooooo pretty.
@Jas000per Okay, I agree. I'm not really sure why I asked the question in the first place. They're really different from each other. Owl City isn't like most stuff I listen to, so it's a nice break.
Oh my.... amazing... I just know Adam's version will be breathtaking... it gets my heart pounding just thinking about it! (: Cannot wait for his new album. Anyone know when it will come out? Like in December or next year? Just wondering..
@krm3396 Oh, well thats not nice language. Why don't you like them? Relient K is my favorite band. Matt Theissen is probably the most talented musician I know. He doesn't sound that great here, though. Seriously, why don't you give them a try? My favorite album of theirs is Five Score and Seven Years ago.
Owl City + Relient K = genius
I saw a bear in the den
He stayed right there where he'd been
Asleep like a rug you would make from his skin
Out I crept through the trees he lived in
I've been hoping for
Daisies to push through the floor
I want life to grow all around me
So I don't feel sad anymore
I'd rather waltz then walk through the forest
The brook babbles on about nothing at all
A quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus
A new leaf turns over unwilling to fall
I can't wait to hear the finished version with Adam... I am sure it'll be just as amazing as I imagined!
how was it? ♡
Plant Life is an amazing song
I fanboyed so hard when I found out Matt and Adam were friends and had done songs together. They really sound similar, I'd love to see Adam do a cover of something like Be My Escape, or maybe Hello McFly?
Dear Matt, We Need A Studio Version Of This. KThxBai
@NathanAndrukonis Why must we choose one to be over the other? Let's enjoy each band's beauty equally :)
As much as I like Adam's version, I like this version a lot! Matt makes the song have more Relient K-esque lyrics. It felt like I was hearing the song for the first time all over again!
Normally I would talk about how I like the original version better, but I find that Matt sings it just different enough that I'm not bothered. This is almost a completely new song, were it not for the lyrics that remained the same.
Agreed. Matt Thiessen is one of the most underrated musicians/song writers IMO.
Oh my goodness. His voice. I can die now of pure happiness.
this song is so pure.
Thank you so much for uploading this! It's wonderful, and you're very lucky to have been there :)

I'd rather waltz then walk through the forest
The trees keep the tempo as they sway in time

@Perradocx The trees keep the tempo as they sway in time...
Oh and by the way if you want to hear a small peice of adams version watch his *the Making of All Things Bright and Beautiful" it's like the last 20 second of the video but it's sooooo pretty.
@LcieFocus I agree, this version is better than Adam's version.
@Jas000per Okay, I agree. I'm not really sure why I asked the question in the first place.
They're really different from each other. Owl City isn't like most stuff I listen to, so it's a nice break.
@marlintheelitefan good call. :) I think yours is much closer. I still think he says "stayed right there" though. .. also, where do i bend, anyway?
@lostinhair1234 Agree, it's so beautiful!
I will be posting the whole Owl City concert on here.
Oh my.... amazing... I just know Adam's version will be breathtaking... it gets my heart pounding just thinking about it! (: Cannot wait for his new album. Anyone know when it will come out? Like in December or next year? Just wondering..

That falsetto.
Adam's version is SO much better and I like Adam's words better....
They worked together on it.
Oh my god Relient K meets Owl City :O
Whose better:
Relient K or Owl City?
I vote Relient K, but I like both a lot.
@geisttgih oh, that's so far away ): But it'll be worth the wait I suppose..
@lpernites2 Thank you.
@JiWCreations i think we'd all rather keep our pants on. but socks? socks can be blown off. thats perfectly acceptable.
At 3:31 I can hear Yoshi from Super Smash Bros. in the background
@marxpanda I just posted it in the description for you.
@gregplaysviola Yeah, I was just wondering.
@dtyson777 both of them wrote it together

@ryanlovesowls OHAI RYAN.
