Because Owl City songs makes me happy, light and bouncy.
It has been quite a while since I've been fascinated by Owl City music. I was never a fan of Electronica/Techno Pop due to my classical background in music but Owl City changed that. It wasn't just music that drew me to Owl City music but the clever rhyming and message of his songs. Oh yeah, Owl City is just a one-man act, if you don't know yet, by Adam Young.
Add to the fact the unique story of Adam Young's rise in the music industry despite knowing nothing of it. I recently came across a half-year old post in Plugged In Online about the song Fireflies which made me smile deeply.
"I can remember sleeping out on a dock on the edge of this lake and looking up at the sky. There was a meteor shower that night. I remember thinking, What a cool idea of shooting stars being fireflies, and trying to translate that into music. That’s what spurred it on."
In a world where chart-topping tracks often trade in edgy or deliberately controversial imagery, "Fireflies" is an amazingly unique expression of one young artist’s wide-eyed wonder at the world. John Keats would be proud. (read full article in Plugged In Online)
It's just uplifting to know that God chooses the unlikely people to make a difference even in the most unlikely places.
