Owl City!
These guys are like, my new obsession. <3
People: What's your favorite artist/band?
Friend: Melanie Martinez.
Other Friend: Taylor Swift.
Me: OWL CITY!
People: *weird looks* What's that?
Okay, maybe that was kind of an inaccurate scenario because I have weird friends who are obsessed with Van Halen and Mozart.
But back to Owl City.
Their songs just make me feel so. . . happy! Even if they're not happy songs. I can listen to them a million times and find some new meaning in it. Does anyone else listen to Owl City? (Right now Hot Air Balloon is playing in the background as I write this. HAB, guessing that was the song you got your name from.)

*Starts squealing like a fan girl*
SQUEE!!!!!!!
OWL CITY IS AMAZING!!!! IT'S ONE OF MY FAVORITE BANDS EVER!!!!!
*Takes deep breaths*
Alright, rant over.
I love Owl City! Some my family doesn't like it, but I do!
A couple of my favorite songs are:
Fireflies,
Vanilla Twilight,
Deer in the Headlights,
It's always a good time, (with Carly Rae Jepsen!)
and When Can I see you again. (From Disney's Wreck it Ralph!)
I could go on and on . . . but I won't. ;)

YASSS OWL CITY ROCKS!
I especially like Hot Air Balloon, Fireflies, Vanilla Twilight, Deer in the Headlights, and Take to the Sky, though all of them are awesome. :)

Owl City... Oh I loaf them so much!!!!!!
I am really inspired by Adam Young, since I'm a bit of an insomniac myself, {my parents make me go to bed though =(} and their songs are just AMAZING. I have all of the Owl City albums, and a few things from random soundtracks. My faves.... Take To The Sky (From the Guardians of Ga'Hoole), Unbelievable (My Dad loves this one too), Back Home, Fireflies (My first Owl City Song ever!!!), Aligator Sky (with the rap), Shine Your Way (From the Croods), and like, all of The Midsummer Station.

Ooh, Take To the Sky is awesome! I love Unbelievable as well!

One, I LOVE Owlcity!
Two, it goes like this: I heard Fireflies as the background song for a participant on America's got Talent (I am pretty sure it was that one) and LOVED it. I had no idea who it was by at the time. Then I heard it later on, and I figured out it was by Owl City. I pretty much died right there. BOOM. Dead. As in, by the awesomeness his music presents.
Owl City is really the only artist I can listen to all day long without going crazy. His music is upbeat and true. And the best part? Adam Young has Aspergers. I can relate to that, so I understand really his odd choices of words and the awesome way it goes together. His music is something I can relate to.
Overall, I love Fireflies, Hello Seattle (I was born and raised in Seattle), and Alligator Sky (rap or no rap, I could care less) to name a few. But he's the best, I love his music.
And Abi, you know HAB? *Gives the wide-eyed look* Lucky.

Nah, I was just saying that he mentioned a couple times on here that he got his CB name from an Owl City song, so I figured it was probably Hot Air Balloon.
(August 11, 2016 - 9:20 pm)
Oh okay, that makes sense.

Owl City is pretty cool, but I've only heard a few songs of theirs.
You can call me weird, though, because I like lots of different kinds of music, I like classical music, (But I am disgusted by Debussy.) I like the Guardians of the Galaxy Awesome Mix, (70's music.) I like music that's like Coldplay's, and I like soundtrack music. (Star Wars, HTTYD and LOTR FTW!)
I think that my least favorite music has to be Country, because most of the songs are way too similar, and it gets REALLY BORING. (And I've heard too much of it because of my sisters.)
Nothing really matters, anyone can see, nothing really matters but MWAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! (Had to quote The Muppets.)
(August 11, 2016 - 2:22 pm)
*high-fives* COLDPLAY!! And yes, DOWN WITH COUNTRY GENRE!!! I like listening to soundtrack music/music without words when I'm writing. :)

I'll watch the night turn light blue
But it's not the same without you
Because it takes two to whisper quietly
The silence isn't so bad
'Til I look at my hands and feel sad
'Cause the spaces between my fingers
Are right where yours fit perfectly
- Adam Young, Vanilla Twilight
Aren't these lines so . . . Perfect? This is why it's one of my favorite songs— It's a love song, I suppose, but it's different than most songs you hear in this theme. It perfectly captures quiet moments, of peace and missing someone. It's so sweet and sad, but makes me happy at the same time. <3

YAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sadly, I am not listening to any Owl City right now. But he's Unbeliveable. (XD)
And yes, HAB has admitted that his name comes from OC.
