this song is such a perfect example of what a brilliant storyteller adam is. even without the fantasy-like elements and metaphors of his earlier works, this still manages to capture that same level of wonder and beauty that made him so well known i swear this guy could write a song about taking the bus to work and it'd still be this breathtaking
@@nakdickson A time signature is how many beats in a measure (section). Most song are written on 4/4, so the beat goes 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4. In a song like this one though, the beat goes 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3 (like a waltz). Hope this helped 😊
Adam is very talented at conveying what he wants to tell through his diverse and heartfelt lyrics. Coco Moon is very clear about what Adam wants to tell. I think this album is like another collection of books told by a mysterious man, who doesn't care about popularity but only to reach its rightful audience. I'm glad I know Owl City.
Super cute song! It oddly makes me think of the first concert I’ve ever been to (Owl City - Cinematic Show in 2018) and how it blew me away. I fell in love with the magic of creativity ✨ & I was definitely ‘sad for a day or two’ when the show ended 😂
I adore this song! I only went to a circus act a few times growing up, but this song, the imagery it evokes, the vocals, the sound effects and samples, and musical intricacies... it's magical. I love it all! Thank you, Adam! Thank you for Under the Circus Lights and all of Coco Moon!
Yes!!! His songs evoke experience laced emotions/feels! I feel the same way about Dinosaur Park. I have never been to a dino park, but I would imagine it would feel exactly the way he describes and captures it in the song. 🖤
Adam’s music saved me when I moved to America as an immigrant. The depressing days and nights . Nights of tears which came with doubts from a new environment and a new journey.I’d listen to ocean eyes and cry so hard and go to bed and wake up feeling better .This music in this album is very dreamy. I cry and disappear in thoughts when I listen to it. I’m so happy, sad , scared at the same time . I imagine heaven, eternal life every single emotion happens to me . Adam, thank you. You have helped me so much and you’d never know. God bless you. See you in DC❤️
Dreamworks was going to do a musical movie called Me and My Shadow with Josh Gad and Bill Hader and Adam was set to do the entire soundtrack for it 😭😭I think he produced the whole thing and it was never released. Dreamworks did us dirty and canceled the film during production because they didn't think it would get them what they wanted in the box office 😭 We were robbed
This might be the best song of our generation, legit - The lyrics are perfect and the use of circus-like instruments is just genius. You are the greatest composer of modern times, Adam - Thank you so much for this song!
Owl city always delivers a masterpiece. Owl city has been my favorite since school. Many songs and years later, Owl city is still the best and my favorite. These songs have kept me going and are always a part of my playlist. God bless Owl city. You deserve more recognition than most.
This song is absolutely magical, the imagery and storytelling are just so perfect. There's no other way to describe it, it's just spectacular, I was blown away listening to this for the first time. Thanks for blessing us with another great song Adam.
I feel an odd connection with this song that I can’t seem to describe. It truly is breathtaking. In fact, the whole of Coco Moon is breathtaking. Truly one of the best Owl City albums of all times, if I say so myself. (But Ocean Eyes & Maybe I’m dreaming will be my faves forever!)
@@megalisa830bright6 I hadn't listen to anything OC aside from the funny song; and I think that's what captivated me. The more grounded (kinda) themes of Coco Moon. But all of their old stuff I've been discovering and with the help of this chart is to be greatly appreciated. I love everything they've done so far!
@@megalisa830bright6 yeah, his style has definitely changed. But I do miss his dream genre. Maybe it’ll come back in the next album. (If there is a next one)
Watching from Nigeria, All my childhood memory till now can't forget the impact your beautiful music tone has on me, thanks for good music owl city. Love this one in particular ♥️♥️.
I discovered Owl City when I was 14 and he became my favorite singer, today I am 26 and I still enjoy his music. almost 4 years ago I put a playlist of my favorite singer for my daughter while she was in my womb. Tonight she has fallen asleep while she was listening to this song. She was relaxed. I am definitely glad that Owl City exists and it makes me happy to share these songs with my daughter in her most beautiful years. I love you Adam Young♥ God bless you
What a masterpiece song from one man band, knowledge of many instruments really helping adam to make such a music,he is gem,he needed to be famous again...
I still remember when I first heard the song fireflies. It reminds me of when I went on a walk through the woods with my dad one night and a whole bunch of fireflies came out of the grass when my dad tossed a stone.
After religiosly listening to this album i have to say,this hands down Adams best song. The instrumentals, story themes, atmosphere and wordplay is unlike anything ive heard before. Thank you Adam for this masterpiece, God bless you🙏
The circus just came to town! I've been listening to this song recently, it's awesome! All of Coco Moon is, really. Great job, Adam! Hope y'all have a great day!
This was like one of my top 5 current favorite songs on this album after more than a few listens of the song & album since about like a month ago now (while I was able to have the right time to give another official listen on the new album), the style & melody itself was really satisfying & interesting to listen to, and the part with the "Ladies & Gentlemen! Welcome to the most spectacular show!" with the fireworks was really great too! :)
I have been listening to this song on repeat and I don't know why. Something about the beat triggers something emotionally in me. It's very hard to find amazing feel good music these days and Owl City never disappoints me.
I'm going through the songs one at a time, and so far it feels like this album is a collection of pieces of Adam's experiences, a first job that gave him the stability to pursue what he wanted in Adam, Check Please. Here, he shares the wonder of realising that he wanted to be a part of the showbiz world. Despite seeing that, while the people on the stage are amazing, they're humans with struggles too. Instead of wanting to only see the "girl on the flying trapeze", the actor on the stage, he wanted to find her the person behind the act. Realising that that real person behind the act isn't for the audience to find is saddening, but it also made him realise his own dream to be that person, doing his best for the audience, to be the one who fills others with wonder and life. That's just how it reads to me xD That or he just really liked The Greatest Showman xp
The Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey circus are back! I absolutely LOVE the circus, and I am so excited to see it again. I'll be going for my birthday in October.
I was feeling really suicidal back in March and then Owl City and Melanie Martinez announced the release of their new albums, after years of hiatus it felt like a sign to stay. I’m so glad I did, this is my favorite song on the album and now I listen to Coco Moon every time my mind is plagued with bad thoughts. 💜
Under the circus lights is a beautiful mesmerizing song it’s so cool because when I close my eyes and i’am in my car or my house I can picture myself at the circus even tho i’am not there I love how Adam takes us on a journey to a new world not like reality today
Es bueno saber que hay personas con buen gusto de música como lo es owl City, muchos latinos o personas que hablan español tristemente no saben la buena vibra que estas canciones transmiten
I’ve been listening since I was 14. Vanilla twilight was the first song I heard. I remember listening to it on repeat for a week… I’m 25 now, and I’m playing this song on repeat everyday 😩 Thank you Adam, you bring a certain type of magic to the world that nobody else can!
I just saw him in concert yesterday at sea world and it was amazing Adam young please don’t stop making music me and my son had an amazing time and I loved this new song ❤would love to see you in concert again!!!!
this song is such a perfect example of what a brilliant storyteller adam is. even without the fantasy-like elements and metaphors of his earlier works, this still manages to capture that same level of wonder and beauty that made him so well known
i swear this guy could write a song about taking the bus to work and it'd still be this breathtaking
This is probably my favorite song on the album. It's not super often that pop songs are written in a 3/4 time signature.
True
Woke up to the song in my feed and thought the same thing. “It’s pop but the rhythm is in... NO WAY!” 🤓🎼
Could you please explain what you meant to me?
@@nakdickson A time signature is how many beats in a measure (section). Most song are written on 4/4, so the beat goes 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4. In a song like this one though, the beat goes 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3 (like a waltz).
Hope this helped 😊
A lot of owl city's 3/4 songs are often my favorite, despite not being a title track. They just sound extra magical.
I really like this song! The sound effects of this album are so speciaaaal and make the album magical. 💗✨
Adam is very talented at conveying what he wants to tell through his diverse and heartfelt lyrics. Coco Moon is very clear about what Adam wants to tell.

I gotta be honest, without Owl City, I probably wouldn’t be the person that I am today
Same
Same
Same here Buddy!
Same
Oh my gosh same here. I literally grew up listening to him. I started when I was 10 and now I’m 24.
Why doesn’t this song have a music video already? It would be twice as magical!
All of his songs should have their music video tbh. They are all so dreamy!
Yes, it would be so magical if it has. Like a dreamy moments! 🌸
Ikr
Well, the production cost would also be as twice as magical.
Adam's an indie musician now. He probably doesn't have a big budget to create a MV.
@@n_core It's possible bcuz Adam can have sponsorships and his works is awesome. Maybe he's too bz on his own business that's why.
I adore this song! I only went to a circus act a few times growing up, but this song, the imagery it evokes, the vocals, the sound effects and samples, and musical intricacies... it's magical. I love it all! Thank you, Adam! Thank you for Under the Circus Lights and all of Coco Moon!

Someone should take Owl City's music and write a Broadway musical with it.
Fucking brilliant, that's what you are

--great idea there! 😍😍😄😈🖤💟💘💌💌💌💘💜💚💙💜🖤💟💯
This is pure magic. No other artist makes me feel this way.
This might be the best song of our generation, legit - The lyrics are perfect and the use of circus-like instruments is just genius. You are the greatest composer of modern times, Adam - Thank you so much for this song!
Do not forget that noise of circus and train
This is my favorite song of his in a while! I don’t remember the last time such a magical dreamy story was told in pure song like this
One of my favourite songs from CocoMoon. So inspiring and nostalgic! Thank you Adam
Best song of the album! It's epic, mysterious, cute and sad at the same time
It would/will be stunning to see this one performed live. Just one more month for me, I’m so excited
I've grown up with this man he helped me through some hard times
Owl city always delivers a masterpiece. Owl city has been my favorite since school. Many songs and years later, Owl city is still the best and my favorite. These songs have kept me going and are always a part of my playlist. God bless Owl city. You deserve more recognition than most.
I don’t know, I just feel like crying listening to this track. Owl City is always a forever gem.
I love this song. Owl City will always have a special place in my heart.
I love this song, I hope it gets an actual music video too
Angelic voice, Magical music, beautiful lyrics. ♡ Love you Adam
This deserves a music video honestly
His instruments always sends me to heaven 😊
My favorite song, see you tonight! Can't wait for this concert!
This is indeed one of my most favorite songs from Coco Moon. It's so lovely!
This song is absolutely magical, the imagery and storytelling are just so perfect. There's no other way to describe it, it's just spectacular, I was blown away listening to this for the first time. Thanks for blessing us with another great song Adam.
Owl City saved me many many times back then, hearing this now, it feels like meeting an old friend again. Nostalgic yet new.
It's been 64 days since the release but that bridge at 2:44 gives me goosebumps every single time ❤
Owl City is a Childhood memories for many people 😊
One of the best new albums out there, love these songs, Adam!
I feel an odd connection with this song that I can’t seem to describe. It truly is breathtaking. In fact, the whole of Coco Moon is breathtaking. Truly one of the best Owl City albums of all times, if I say so myself.
(But Ocean Eyes & Maybe I’m dreaming will be my faves forever!)
I hadn't listen a lot of Owl City since the funny song, but oh lord Coco Moon is a masterpiece and they have become my favorite since I heard it
I think that Owl City's older albums have more dreamy and whimsical songs than his later albums! XD
I'm a die-hard old-era owl city fan but I'm really finding an appreciation for his newer stuff!
@@megalisa830bright6 I hadn't listen to anything OC aside from the funny song; and I think that's what captivated me. The more grounded (kinda) themes of Coco Moon.

Maybe my favorite on the entire album! So magical, dream-inducing, well-composed and amazing!
💗💗💗💗 This is my second favorite song on the album, it gets stuck in my head for hours but I never get tired of it. It’s magical
Watching from Nigeria, All my childhood memory till now can't forget the impact your beautiful music tone has on me, thanks for good music owl city.
Love this one in particular ♥️♥️.
Owl City Music has the same effect on me since 2011, and I am from Sierra Leone 🇸🇱.

Many people loved this song so much from CocoMoon Album. It's so magical and we hope it has Official Music Video. 🥺🎉
I have been listening to this song on repeat and I don't know why. Something about the beat triggers something emotionally in me. It's very hard to find amazing feel good music these days and Owl City never disappoints me.
Terima Kasih Owl City (Kota Burung Hantu) Yang Sudah Menemani Aku Waktu Kecil Sampai Dewasa.
I can't wait to see you preform tonight ❤
The chorus makes me think of "Plant Life". I wonder if it's an intentional callback.
I like how each song of Owl City is a story. I'm always blown away by his talent!
My fave song from Coco Moon! It's so dreamy, magical, & full of wonder every time I listen to it ✨
His songs have such a clean feel and language 😅reminds me of worship Christian songs when i grew up in a way. Although im not religious 😅😅
Im so proud of you and this album Adam!!!!! You really did it with this one 💚
your lyrics never fails, they are the greatest
You are a legend of gold, Adam Young, you can make a wonderful and incredible music.👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿💯💯💯✨️✨️✨️🎶🎶🎶😁😁😁
Am I the only one that thinks that all Owl City songs tell a mystical story?

God i love this persons songs they helped me through so much in life thank you man your the best ❤
This has such a vivid combination of childlike joy and soft bittersweetness
My favorite 🥰 can’t wait!
The Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey circus are back! I absolutely LOVE the circus, and I am so excited to see it again. I'll be going for my birthday in October.

Stay strong! Life is Fr hard! Ik you can make it! I wanna see you rocking to owl city 50 years from now if your young! All love!
@@UkulilyFilly I really like battle of the larynx and nymphology
Hey buddy! We are the new sons of thunder! I hope you stay safe
THANK YOU FOR STAYING. 🫂
dont worry about a thing cuz every little thing gonna be alright
Makes no sense that this seems like such a magical happy song but it just makes me feel sad the whole way through for some reason
Under the circus lights is a beautiful mesmerizing song it’s so cool because when I close my eyes and i’am in my car or my house I can picture myself at the circus even tho i’am not there I love how Adam takes us on a journey to a new world not like reality today
Beautiful lyric video.
This song is so beautiful
I fallen inlove with this song. 🥺
Una de las mejores canciones del album. Se siente el amor y, sobre todo, la magia. Es simplemente fantástica ❤
Aaah una persona que le gusta Owl City que habla español, me caes bien
Yo también me facina escuchar Owl city Beautiful ❤
Es bueno saber que hay personas con buen gusto de música como lo es owl City, muchos latinos o personas que hablan español tristemente no saben la buena vibra que estas canciones transmiten
WE LOVE YOU OWL CITY❤
❤❤❤
How could someone like Adam fade into the background
this summer gonna be a great time with owl city 😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥
There is something so magical about this song and owl city as a whole
"And She Took my Breath Away!"
Love your melodies. So playful
Love this song so much, I listen to it daily.
Reminds me of Plant Life, my all-time favourite Owl City song
Would love a music video for this one ♥
I thought about it too! Sounds a lot like Plant Life! I love both songs so much ❤
the outro, I loved the Outro!!! I see what you did there, and I love it
I’ve been listening since I was 14. Vanilla twilight was the first song I heard. I remember listening to it on repeat for a week… I’m 25 now, and I’m playing this song on repeat everyday 😩
Thank you Adam, you bring a certain type of magic to the world that nobody else can!
You really are a legend.
Owl City makes the most emotional, romantic songs ❤ another favorite
I just saw him in concert yesterday at sea world and it was amazing Adam young please don’t stop making music me and my son had an amazing time and I loved this new song ❤would love to see you in concert again!!!!
I Wish that i was as talented as Owl City
I'm unaware if this is based on an event in Adam's life but if it is this song would've fitted Cinematic imo haha
Finally, i can say that owl city is back
I'm so happy to hear you guys sing and play again
I'm so glad this song is 5 mins long
I was a back bencher like how my Nick name is ! Taking a front seat because of your music much love from Uganda
Man, this is the most magical lullaby i've ever taste
IM SO EXCITED TO GO TO HIS CONCERT!!
This song gives me the same feeling that firefly gave me when I was younger
This will be used from The Amazing Digital Circus movie!
11/10. Love this song. 💕
This one is my fav!
❤❤❤❤❤ this song made my day 😚
Being obsessed with Owl City Music is an understatement.
