I grew up with very strict religious parents I was never allowed to listen to any music other than Christian contemporary and hymns but when I was 11 my older sister smuggled me this album and after hearing this song I realized for the first time that you could express personal emotions about things through songs this was the first love song I ever heard and I've never been the same since I doubt Adam Young aka Owlcity will ever see this but thank you for writing this beautiful song 💙🦋
Not all music has to be ABOUT God specifically, but we Christians should listen to music that lines up with our values. Adam is a Christian and so all of his songs honor Him, so he's okay in my book. I used to listen to a Christian radio station called WayFM that played his music, so come with everyone else here and take your vacation in Owl City. :) (Also, if you want to get around your parent's rule, listen to Adam's versions of Come Thou Fount and How Deep The Father's Love For Us. Maybe if they're exposed to these, they'll let you listen to Adam's other music.)
oh hmm past controls the present which affects the future free to think for themselves but chained by the words of others and not by their own reality thoughts of others are echoed through the caves of their own throat and their head like having the stockholm syndrome still acknowledged but not esoteric rather segregated into one of them or different years of crusade war and strife forgotten in the present how does the past affect the present if it cant control the future projected through mortal eyes?
I once loved a girl who lived far away. We would talk and I would travel to see her. But she said things weren’t working for her and so I drove back home 20 hours through a snow storm. And I listened to this song over and over while I felt the emptiness in my heart that I had made room for her. Well I moved for school and found myself much closer to where she lived. I worked to forget her and find someone new. Then one morning I woke up to an email asking if I wanted to see her, but that she couldn’t promise things would be different. We just celebrated the 5 year anniversary of our marriage. Don’t worry, there is someone that will fill that room in your heart too.
This song always warms up my heart. In my darkest times, it reminds me that at one point, someone made me feel loved. And I’m already grateful for that.
"chills run down my spine" that smooth and sweet line as he sang it gracefully... i really love how he chooses his lyrics and emphasize it beautifully.. create more of this song Adam:D and sing along again with Ms. Breanne Duren:D
Owl city was the thing that kept me going when i was younger. Been listening since sixth grade. That was 2010!! Im 19 now and this song still gets stuck in my head. My favorite shade is navy blue as well.
Wonky Bee wow that's exactly the same for me. 19 and Owl City really got me through some super difficult life stuff when I was in 6the grade. It's pretty insane that we have the same experience in that respect.
the kids of today will never know ... they just won't this was a moment in our lives that is unforgettable and so wonderful i miss the early to mid - 2000s waaaaahhh
I love these kinds of love songs because their just soft and don't need a bunch of nasty stuff to get the idea through that the person singing the song is truly in love. You can just have a wholesome love song. That's not to common now a days. Not to say they don't exist (obviously this song exist) they can just be hard to find
I used to listen to this song almost everyday and specially loved watching this video. A while ago this video and other videos of this channel was not available on TH-cam for a long time for some reason. I'm glad its back
This song was released on the same night that I got a call from my sister that she's had a bad reaction to a vaccine, and this may be the last time we talk... the doctors in Germany were telling her that her body rejected it, and she may die very soon. I had no way to fly to her in time, I have never felt so useless, or like a worse brother. I couldn't do anything except cry and breathe. This song got me through that time. My sister is now home, and doing great, about to give birth to her first son, and I am so excited to be an Uncle. Sometimes, you never know how great life is going to be. Thank you Adam Young ♥
I love these type of lyrics videos. They are old but unique. Never seen a lyric videos like this, very cute and classic, just a bunch of words wrtitten in a paper combined into a video, what a creative way to make a lyric video :) It requires effort and it turns out well. I love these old lyric videos.
I feel clearly blessed every time I hear this amazing song by Owl City. God Bless you Adam. I love the music fading away towards the end of the song...chills run down my spine every time I listen to it :) Btw hsac4life I really enjoy watching your Owl City videos :)
Ive been listening to this since im in elementary. Back then I just liked it for the tune. But as I continue to listen to it, it feels different as years go by. And now I just sit down and patiently feel the emotions as every words in this song plays and feel the goosebumps.. what im saying is its a very good song.. yup.
Flower "balm" perfume. Not "bomb". ;-) (Also, while the sewing needle is cute, the needle he's talking about is a compass needle. She's north, and so his compass needle is moving gracefully as she circles him.) Very cute. I really enjoyed the visuals (and obviously love the song, lol).
I'm from 11years ago. I can't forget this song and all Adam Young albums. He is the nature of nostalgic music, smooth and has a big world of imagination. Missing those days..
a year ago i danced to this song with my wonderful husband as our first dance. it reminds me how lucky i am to have him because without him i would be lost. thank you for the beautiful video!
I actually cant believe your channel is still here, I loved these videos so much back then and being able to watch them again right now means so much, thank you!!!
I would just like to say I think you did a good job with the video. It's creative, and a pleasant change of pace from the usual lyrics on a screen approach.
How do you live listening to it as your blowing up and tearing limbs from parasitic alien's and making sure they're dead by splattering their corpses with your very feet
Please please never cancel this video or channel! I remember watching this when I was in high school, it brings back so many nice memories 🥰 I even doodled the "if my ❤️ was a 🏠 you'd be Home" part on my backpack, in the same font style as yours, and it's still there!
I don't care, Owl City's music can change anybody's mood from sadness to happiness instantly, this guy's songs are just so damn beautiful, it's legendary. Whenever i'm mad or sad, i have to come and listen to this guy's music to make me happy, it gives me one of the best feelings like the feeling of serenity.
I remember watching this video I’d say 10 years ago. This song and this video is so nostalgic and means even more now that I’m 23 and have a significant other❤
I don't think it's his intent for EVERY song to sound like a God-loving song, but it shows up a lot (he's devout IRL). This, on the other hand, I think it just a normal love song.
If every Owl City song can be related to God, so can every pure song. Owl City has pure music, so sex, drugs... and not all of it has to do with God, but since God is pure, and his music is, you are gonna be able to streach any of his songs, some that were meant to be, some that weren't. What about Fuzzy Blue lights? Imo that would just be weird and more childish than he seems to be "If I were in a sad art gallery?" Or On The Wing. He talks as if he is the one leading the other person, even calls them darling.
This was a million dollar song man. Even at the time when this project dropped you could tell that if this had been dropped in 2018 it would’ve been on the billboard charts
I will be creating an owl city Playlist if you guys have suggestions I will be on the commits of owl city To The Sky on Saturday 10pm to 1am 8/30/2020:)
I like how the pictures match the lyrics. Your very creative! That is my #1 favourite song out of all the songs I have EVER heard in my WHOLE LIFE!!! I obviously voted up to carry k's comment.
Good question +Master Querty it sounds like a lovely line. I think maybe it means that no matter what happens his heart/deep feelings will always be towards that person above all else, absolute like how that point on a compass will always naturally point north again.
What I read before is that when ever you got lost, just go and always follow north in the compass. So I think, this means that "my heart(compass) will always follow you(north)".
this song is SOOOOOO beautiful...i LOVE owl city....there my fav. band and i fell.....more me with the songs....this song...could change the world....any of owl city's songs could...

But he has Christian music tho
Same!! It was worth "rebelling" against my parents
oppss not to offend, but I never knew Christian people like u exist
oh
hmm
past controls the present which affects the future
free to think for themselves but chained by the words of others and not by their own reality
thoughts of others are echoed through the caves of their own throat and their head
like having the stockholm syndrome
still acknowledged but not esoteric rather segregated into one of them or different
years of crusade
war and
strife
forgotten in the present
how does the past affect the present if it cant control the future projected through mortal eyes?
If my heart was a house you'd pay rent
+Tina Diamond Haha xD im using this!
😂😂
Clever! :D
Dangit now I can't listen to this song properly xD
Is this Tom Nook? : D
I'm using this for my wedding this June 19. This song is a time machine!
Congratulations!
Congrats buddy!. You got married on my birthday
ah im so excited for you!!!! idk if you had it yet id assume not
God bless you
One year later, hope you and your spouse are doing just fine!

This song always warms up my heart. In my darkest times, it reminds me that at one point, someone made me feel loved. And I’m already grateful for that.

LJ.黄色的橡皮鸭 its pretty. I feel great when i heard this song.
Wonky Bee . I remember i was 17, at the first time i fall in love in a girl she is my first love. Is so amazing. And now I'm 23 on December 22.
over a decade has passed and i still find myself coming back to these cute videos haha
This song is beautiful, and his voice sends chills down my spine, I love Owl City so much :) these words are just so amazing
He was so ahead of his time!
the kids of today will never know ... they just won't
this was a moment in our lives that is unforgettable and so wonderful
i miss the early to mid - 2000s waaaaahhh
Now this is a song that certainly gives you chills!
Who in their right mind would dislike this video?
Bret Jamus ikr
Mumble rapers and JB's fan and Nikki Minaj's fan
Maybe no one is in their right mind
The people who disliked had their vision too blurred by tears and missed the like button
Those whose are home alone.
I love this so much, been listening to Owl City for years, every song is just amazing in it's own way. Much love
Hes amazing
I love these kinds of love songs because their just soft and don't need a bunch of nasty stuff to get the idea through that the person singing the song is truly in love.

I love how there's comments here from 7 years ago, but also like a week ago xD
Yeah
1:03 That random "o" lit up my day somehow.. xD
I used to listen to this song almost everyday and specially loved watching this video. A while ago this video and other videos of this channel was not available on TH-cam for a long time for some reason. I'm glad its back

It requires effort and it turns out well. I love these old lyric videos.
"If my heart was a compass you'd be north." That took me a second but when I figured it out: "Awwwwwwwwwww! :3"
Oh, I just got it while reading your comment.
I feel clearly blessed every time I hear this amazing song by Owl City.
God Bless you Adam.
I love the music fading away towards the end of the song...chills run down my spine every time I listen to it :)
Btw hsac4life I really enjoy watching your Owl City videos :)
2019 now but the feels is still good with this song :>
Ive been listening to this since im in elementary. Back then I just liked it for the tune. But as I continue to listen to it, it feels different as years go by. And now I just sit down and patiently feel the emotions as every words in this song plays and feel the goosebumps.. what im saying is its a very good song.. yup.
it makes me think of soooo many memories :'(
i love how this song has such weird lyrics but they tell an amazing love story :)
Still listening to this beautiful music
(2019)
C'est incroyable le talent qu' à Adam Young a pour remettre la valse au gout du jour! (et en plus, c'est pas la seul de ce genre...)
Moi Re Il y a quelles autres chansons de lui qui sont un peu "valse" ?
Flower "balm" perfume. Not "bomb". ;-)
(Also, while the sewing needle is cute, the needle he's talking about is a compass needle. She's north, and so his compass needle is moving gracefully as she circles him.)
Very cute. I really enjoyed the visuals (and obviously love the song, lol).
I was curious so I googled it and there is a perfume called Flowerbomb
Whoever created this masterpiece, i really thank you for giving me a mornings melody
I remember when I'm Playing Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2
while listening to this song..
and now 2015..
what a great throwback :D :D
*****
hahaha :D
weird right??
but that's the reason
why I love this song...
Elakid I have the same thing but its somewhere only we know and minecraft XD

Elakid me with Pokémon black 😂
Lol
You make very beautiful illustrations! :)
The way you edit them really adds magic to the music.
"Chills run down my spine
As our fingers entwine
And your sighs harmonize with mine "
God-tier songwriting, right there.
It's so calming I'm crying such a great song da best
I'm from 11years ago. I can't forget this song and all Adam Young albums. He is the nature of nostalgic music, smooth and has a big world of imagination. Missing those days..

Years later I am here cause this is the right version to the song . Thank you
2:41 'It's an intense setting-up to nothing' -My best friend
I really love the first line,
You're the sky that I fell through ❤️
96 people didn't get caught when they fell
I didn't either, but I'm still liking
I would just like to say I think you did a good job with the video. It's creative, and a pleasant change of pace from the usual lyrics on a screen approach.
i got it..the word i mean ..all songs of owl city is so magical and natural still awesome ..
The story behind this song is so beautiful.The song is just so beautiful it needs no words to be described cause it describes it self
I put this song on while I play Dead Space... Makes it not as scary :)
Love your profile pic :)

I thought this was the same person and died inside a little until I noticed the usernames .hhgcgljggjc
ElectricShimmer Lol. :D
How do you live listening to it as your blowing up and tearing limbs from parasitic alien's and making sure they're dead by splattering their corpses with your very feet
Please please never cancel this video or channel! I remember watching this when I was in high school, it brings back so many nice memories 🥰
I even doodled the "if my ❤️ was a 🏠 you'd be Home" part on my backpack, in the same font style as yours, and it's still there!
i
The drawings make this so wholesome
This is my most favorite song, only from Owl City. :)
i love the back round pictures they tell u the story along with song its cute and helpful
Him: "Did it hurt?"
Me: "Did what hurt?"
Him: "When you feel from heaven."
Me: "No.........Because you caught me when I fell."
Feel or fell?
I don't care, Owl City's music can change anybody's mood from sadness to happiness instantly, this guy's songs are just so damn beautiful, it's legendary. Whenever i'm mad or sad, i have to come and listen to this guy's music to make me happy, it gives me one of the best feelings like the feeling of serenity.

AmeliaPanics phandom i need to see this video post you speak of
L A C K A D A I S I C A L sadly, it has been a year already and I don't remember what I was talking about. I'm sorry ;_;
AmeliaPanics omf the phandom is e v e r y w h e r e
I remember watching this video I’d say 10 years ago. This song and this video is so nostalgic and means even more now that I’m 23 and have a significant other❤
I automatically thought of my ex girlfriend (who i still love)... and almost cried.....
oh my gosh this is like my favorite song ever. your video is amazing :D
I feel like every Owl City song can be related to God in some way
That's his aim 😊
Some of his songs include Bible references
I mean he is Christian so... also He's got multiple Christian songs including In Christ Alone, Galaxies, and You're Not Alive
I don't think it's his intent for EVERY song to sound like a God-loving song, but it shows up a lot (he's devout IRL). This, on the other hand, I think it just a normal love song.
If every Owl City song can be related to God, so can every pure song.

He talks as if he is the one leading the other person, even calls them darling.
@@MASTERMIND2368 Fuzzy Blue Lights is the best song where the beats remain almost the same. Oh my my.
This was a million dollar song man. Even at the time when this project dropped you could tell that if this had been dropped in 2018 it would’ve been on the billboard charts
I love this song. Reminds me of when my lady and I first started dating. XD
I love everything about this song. Super meaningful
Im singing this to every of my friends.
So cute :) I used to watch this videos when I was like 13 years old and now Im 16. This is amazing...
This is the best video on TH-cam as far as I am concerned! :) Thank you hsac4life for the amazing video! You touched many lives!
Robert R are you sure about that?
Makes me smile because you said it best❤
My heart already a house.. no more "IF"
I honestly love this song so much
Flower balm perfume or flower bomb perfume?
(luv the song, confuzed lyrics)
Flower balm
Dustin Duczek The video says flower bomb with a picture of a pink hand grenade.
+Frozzuuuu_ Creator misheard it.
I will be creating an owl city Playlist if you guys have suggestions I will be on the commits of owl city To The Sky on Saturday 10pm to 1am 8/30/2020:)
WHY CANT I FIND THIS SONG ON SPOTIFY GAHHHHHHHHHHH~!!!
IT USED TO BE ON THERE AND THEY TOOK IT OFF D:
I KNOW IT IS SO ANNOYING
They took off To the Sky too ;-;
+RiCkY CoRoNA ;-;
I think they took it off cuz it's an iTunes exclusive tho
In my opinion this is the best romatic song out there!
When I found out this was a shout out to the book Skybreaker ♥♥
Kendra H it's WHAT
I like how the pictures match the lyrics. Your very creative! That is my #1 favourite song out of all the songs I have EVER heard in my WHOLE LIFE!!! I obviously voted up to carry k's comment.
If my heart was a house
You'd pay rent
Owl City is such an amazing band. Their songs make me wanna cry and fall inlove all at the same time:)
what does "If my Heart was a compass you'd be north" means
Good question +Master Querty it sounds like a lovely line. I think maybe it means that no matter what happens his heart/deep feelings will always be towards that person above all else, absolute like how that point on a compass will always naturally point north again.
What I read before is that when ever you got lost, just go and always follow north in the compass. So I think, this means that "my heart(compass) will always follow you(north)".
Compass needle always goes for the North. Hope you got it ❤️
So many Owl City Songs. But all of them are Awesome !
:( It hurts
Same here u.u
I really love this video!!!!You have like the nicest writing EVER. Good job!!!:D
I'm so lonely... :'(
Get out then. Not off the video, just out in public. Find new people.
Matt Damon I do. I go to school and I have a job. People just don't like me...
+Dark Infinity Don't say that! It's not true!
Party Fevers Yes it is. I try to talk to people but they just blow me off. A lot of things are going bad in my life right now... It hurts...
it will get better.
This song was just dedicated to me from someone new in my life.. Thanks Mike
this song is SOOOOOO beautiful...i LOVE owl city....there my fav. band and i fell.....more me with the songs....this song...could change the world....any of owl city's songs could...
If you draw that.. CONGRATULATIONS. YOU TOUCHED MY HEART.
This is a very clever way of presenting the lyrics haha. I love it! :D
the chorus to this song is beautiful. nuff said.
This is probably one of the cutest Owl City songs ever
love the pictures changing to make the lyrics. great idea
this video is so moving i love it
This has been stuck in my head all day and I just love it.
