used this song as a basis for the speech I gave at my sister's wedding last year. closed it off with that beautiful lyric 'Life is different now and that’s ok with me I moved away and you started a family But deep inside you and I are still the same kids Cuz you’re my brother and that won’t ever change Even though everything changes' such a perfect song for the occasion. lots of people commented on how lovely the lyric was and I was so happy to tell them it was this song. this version holds a special place in my heart
These alt versions are literally perfect as the ‘end credits’ of this Cinematic movie. Exactly the right vibe. Why did I even have the slightest worry when he revealed All My Friends, it’s perfect! 😭
I’ve never been to live concert before.. I’m holding out for Owl City. I wish there was word on when he’d be touring again. This is my favorite song of the album.
A little background: This song is sung in the perspective of Abbey [Adam's girlfriend] and her relationship with her brother, Billy. They're both the mystery boy and girl singing in 2:14-2:35; [talking] 2:51-2:57.
This song reminds me heavily of my old best friend. We had our ons and offs, and right now, it's one of those "off" moments for no reason. He and I used to play PS4 all night and be idiots together. We met in a summer school class going into 6th grade in 2002; we made this stupid claymation project together. We started hanging out together since he lived up the street from me. I would walk to his house or vice versa; we would always find something to do. In our teenage years, we remained friends; we grew together. Eventually, I got caught up in life, and so did he; we didn't talk from 2011-2013. When I moved back home, we rekindled our friendship. We would hang out almost every night since we both worked 2nd shift. Our hangouts turned into listening to music, playing magic the gathering, and talking about life. We talked about our friendship and how similar we were. He was the brother I never had. It lasted that way until the summer of 2017. It's been one year, two months, and 4 days since I last talked to him. There was no rhyme or reason. But hey, who's counting, right..? Now here I am, listening to this song relating to every word that Adam says, reigniting feelings I have tried to fight off since we last talked. I reached out to him a few weeks ago, but I never heard anything back from him. Anyways, I sigh and think about the past, but it's alright because everything changed. 2022 edit: It's been 5 years now, and no contact. Life has changed me, him, and all of us, honestly. But, this is simply just a part of life. I look back and those times and think, "Oh wow, who even were we!?". That was a piece of me at that point in time, without it, I wouldn't be "me" now. So I am grateful for the time I got to spend having him in my life, even if he is not here now.
Awwww, the art for this song is so sweet!! I absolutely love the sound of the alt version, it reminds me of late nights and friends who understand you like nobody else ^.^
@@tonim.8016 Sorry this is a month later but if you're still wondering, Abbey is Adam Young's girlfriend. This song is written about Abbey's relationship with her brother from her perspective.
This song is really something else, The album is great, but I keep going back to this song and feeling really nostalgic and melancholic, When I was listening to this While high, I even started to cry.
The background beat that begins at 1:16 just reminds me so much of the really old Adam young music like sky sailing. (not sure if it was that or old owl city, or swimming with dolphins but one of them) Really loving these new songs.
Years ago during college, I fell asleep studying/listening to music and woke up a while later as this song was playing. It was just so dreamy and surreal, I felt like I was floating ❤️
“There’s a new guest room in my parents home, the carpet got replaced a couple years ago. Because it isn’t my bedroom anymore, there’s new photographs on the freezer door.” = this hit me like a train.
Every single song & version is beautiful. The sound is different from the last album which is totally logical and I'm not complaining. Adam, keep up the good work :)
I had to cry for this song, it brings back really good memories of my old friends before I moved. Thank you for this beautiful song Owl City, you are awesome.
Owl city never cared for fame and attention,and thats how great music get produced.😇 Real art only wants expression and adam knew it. Owl city is love❤️
All right. I've been to the following: Firebird, Firebird Alt, All My Friends Alt, Winners Never Quit, Always, Cinematic, Madeline Island, and Montana Alt. Am I missing anything? Any other new releases I overlooked or that hasn't been uploaded yet?
GOSHHH i love this song so much! It's such a great tribute to his brother, really sweet and brings me chills and tears. I want to have a relationship like that with my brother.
Already got my Tickets for The Rave II in Milwaukee!! I cannot wait, just Binging all your songs Adam, keep up the Great work!! 😄 Anyone else going to The Rave II?
I love this album so much. I listened to it everyday on repeat for a long time. I'll always think of my junior year of college when I hear this album. Thanks owl city for making this art!
Everything changes i used to be a kid when i was listen to your songs but now i grew up....ur voice changes,u grew up too,but deep inside we are same just having different life experience..... that's ok too... because change is energy of life...go flow with it
This song is absolutely beautiful. I liked it before, but once you analyze the lyrics combined with the beautiful harmonies, it’s incredible. Adam Young is such an amazing songwriter.
wow this version is so depressing,,,, it feels more like you looking back and being depressed over it and you wanna go back, unlike the other version where you're just crying over it all but looking forward to the future at the same.
Awh!!! I am feeling free right now! This song has great sound effects and the tone of the story was so warm and so friendly. The story was awesome! This is lit! This story seem like it was played in motions and in seasons too.
used this song as a basis for the speech I gave at my sister's wedding last year. closed it off with that beautiful lyric
'Life is different now and that’s ok with me
I moved away and you started a family
But deep inside you and I are still the same kids
Cuz you’re my brother and that won’t ever change
Even though everything changes'
such a perfect song for the occasion. lots of people commented on how lovely the lyric was and I was so happy to tell them it was this song. this version holds a special place in my heart
These alt versions are literally perfect as the ‘end credits’ of this Cinematic movie. Exactly the right vibe. Why did I even have the slightest worry when he revealed All My Friends, it’s perfect! 😭
Sucha perfect display^^^^
I saw this comment a long time ago and ever since, this is all I can think about when hearing this song (: ❤
I’ve never been to live concert before.. I’m holding out for Owl City. I wish there was word on when he’d be touring again. This is my favorite song of the album.
I went to two of his concerts. Mobile Orchestra Tour and Cinematic Tour. It was really awesome and worth it.
Me too, I just started listening to him in the past two years or so... fingers crossed that he’ll start touring again🤞
good news: he's now back on tours!
hes going on tour in september! with his new album coco moon.

captainboobypants This makes sense. But just curious as to how you know this. :p
here He answered it on Twitter and on the Reddit AMA. Abbey also posted a tribute about it on her instagram today 🤗.
I read all his tweets during the Q&A and didn’t see that. I didn’t follow the Reddit one. Interesting, though...
Whoa
wait are there something between billy and abbey tho?
It really bothers me how owl city is so underrated.
That's so true
Cause people now a days don't have good taste in music
Don't let it bother you because that's how he wanted it
Prochondo underrated! 😄 I always found Adam's voice to be soothing when you get exhausted.
Same.

Peter Doucette
Oh crap this is going to make me cry
Hope he's fine
Yes, true :( everything do change
Hope you heard from him!
Your story is beautifully sad.
Life becomes so smooth and wonderful when I hear your songs
Simanta Deka.. Thanks A lot on behalf of him
More than agreed
agree!
Love this version. The whole album is amazing. Everything changes, including your musical direction but I'm loving it so far.
Amanda nice to see some respect on here! Jeeez! Thanks for noticing a effort for change!
I'd say Winners Never Quit and Heroes Don't Wear Capes are my least favorites, but all the other ones I love equally as much.
@@blind6745 Why are they your least favorite?
Awwww, the art for this song is so sweet!! I absolutely love the sound of the alt version, it reminds me of late nights and friends who understand you like nobody else ^.^
That is true.. Alt version has asoft touch.. Reminds of affection of allmity.. Love u a lot my dearest god..
Same
@@dominant3547 love my god
You're such an intriguing artist. This is mesmerizingly beautiful.
Tim nice word choice, write a song eh!
The wait is over.... and it was so worth it
look a furry. i am gangsta mouse and i shoot pedestrians
love your profile picture
it hits me on the part 'you know I'll never change' from Abbey
When can you please show me
@@pingmah7545 Maybe he meant "You know that I wouldn't change a thing" like 1:52
Yeah..... 1:52 part. Still coming back to this... 💗
excuse me to cut in here but who is Abbey? Its clear to me that she spent her vocal to this track...
@@tonim.8016 Sorry this is a month later but if you're still wondering, Abbey is Adam Young's girlfriend. This song is written about Abbey's relationship with her brother from her perspective.
Every owl city song is truly a gift for the world!!
Adam Young is a gift for humanity :)
When I need wholesome, beautiful music. A reminder that the world isn’t so dark. I always know where to look. Thank you, Adam.
Finally!! You're a huge part of my life
I get so nostalgic listening to firebird, does anybody else?
Totally here
This song is really something else, The album is great, but I keep going back to this song and feeling really nostalgic and melancholic, When I was listening to this While high, I even started to cry.
It really is something else. It is just something out of understandings, feeling that way because of a song...
Meee
Alt version probably 💕
The rhythm is magical!
This song is underrated. This alt version is the best among the songs in the album :)
Well, I'm crying a little.
Susanna H aaaaaa dont worry there ehhh!
Me too
The alt versions of his album is irritable to eyes
The background beat that begins at 1:16 just reminds me so much of the really old Adam young music like sky sailing. (not sure if it was that or old owl city, or swimming with dolphins but one of them) Really loving these new songs.
Pretty sure that beat in the background is from Port Blue. I think the song was "Over Atlantic City".
It sounds like blue and red as well by sky sailing😄
also sounds just like 0:10 into Fuzzy Blue Lights!
Years ago during college, I fell asleep studying/listening to music and woke up a while later as this song was playing. It was just so dreamy and surreal, I felt like I was floating ❤️
“There’s a new guest room in my parents home, the carpet got replaced a couple years ago. Because it isn’t my bedroom anymore, there’s new photographs on the freezer door.” = this hit me like a train.
This is the best song on the album, it’s on repeat rn
I orefer this version. More soothing and relaxing💕
If I loved the original version, there is nothing else that describes how beautiful this is!
Every single song & version is beautiful. The sound is different from the last album which is totally logical and I'm not complaining. Adam, keep up the good work :)
I had to cry for this song, it brings back really good memories of my old friends before I moved. Thank you for this beautiful song Owl City, you are awesome.
Owl city never cared for fame and attention,and thats how great music get produced.😇
Real art only wants expression and adam knew it.

All right. I've been to the following: Firebird, Firebird Alt, All My Friends Alt, Winners Never Quit, Always, Cinematic, Madeline Island, and Montana Alt. Am I missing anything? Any other new releases I overlooked or that hasn't been uploaded yet?
Every other song in the album has been previously posted. Just go to his youtube page and you can find them all
I was asking about the _new_ releases. He released so much at once, I wanted to make sure I didn't overlook any...
Have you heard House Wren yet?
Mary Luong
Thought I was missing one. Forgot to write that down, thanks...
Holy crap. A person with the same first and last name as me! and we both like Owl City!
I just fall in love to Adam over and over again.
I LOVE THIS SONG

Love it! Sounds so peaceful.
2020, this music is still soothing and magical
Beautiful....every music you have made is soo good to feel....lovely.
GOSHHH i love this song so much! It's such a great tribute to his brother, really sweet and brings me chills and tears. I want to have a relationship like that with my brother.
Totally. Also, the song is about Abbie (Adam's girlfriend, who is also singing) and Billy, her brother. Which I didn't find out until today.
Listen this when you are sad. there is another level for the song believe me. Something in the composing of the song.
Best song 🍅
Already got my Tickets for The Rave II in Milwaukee!! I cannot wait, just Binging all your songs Adam, keep up the Great work!! 😄
Anyone else going to The Rave II?

Hey Billy, remember when Owl City used to give us great songs?
Oh wait, nevermind, they/he still do/does... 😂
Putu Imchen indeed. FYI Owl city is a project containing 1 person only. Adam Young.
AyyMJeyy Yeah... He has a great unique voice 😊
there's quite a few people helping him though, and i considered them part of the project
Jessen's Channel might be true.. that's why I wrote "they" 😂
Marcey Ramos lol... And yeah it is indeed a team effort 😇 👍
This man is my hero
Cuánta hermosura 😭😭😭😭😭 me atrevería a decir que está mejor que el single normal. Pero Dios, que genio Adam 😭😭😭
"Its Alright Everything Changes...."
Everything changes i used to be a kid when i was listen to your songs but now i grew up....ur voice changes,u grew up too,but deep inside we are same just having different life experience..... that's ok too... because change is energy of life...go flow with it
