Best of Owl City: goo.gl/mSDwW7 Subscribe here: goo.gl/dL549o Music video by Owl City performing Owl City Road Stories. (C) 2010 Universal Republic Records, a division of UMG Recordings, Inc.
What I love about Adam Young, is that his music is GENUINELY different, and he's such a nice guy. He doesn't take his fans for granted, and he wants to show that he really appreciates and loves everyone. Why people hate him is beyond me :\
@@Madison-lh5rlhis song is so pure about imagination, nostalgia, happiness, no swear, no curse , no drugs or any silly things like other music nowadays.
Omg! You took the words right out of my mouth! If only it were possible! The only way I can "attend" old concerts is thru watching them on vids here on YT. Thank God for that at least!
we still have a chance! he seems to perform in his hometown a lot. so, if ally gets the job, vesper gets the house, and i can hunt adam down! and meet him in person. it would work right?!?!?
Adam Young: Writes his own lyrics, crafts his own melodies, AND the accompanying harmonies. Plays the drums, guitar, and piano, and incorporates clever symphony. Dresses up nice and appropriately, exercises and maintains muscle, has a cute face, and looks good with any hairstyle or beard. He makes wonderful soundtracks, enchanting covers, and has a gentle, yet occasionally strong and raspy singing voice. He is humble, respectful of women, friendly with his crew mates and fans, and an easy collaborate. Adam is humorous in his interactions with fans, yet not afraid to talk about serious topics, or give advice. He skateboards for fun, he watches wholesome movies, and dances like a total maniac on stage. My point being, is that Adam Young, is one of the kindest, coolest, most attractive, and talented people on Earth. There is no valid reason, as to why anyone can could possibly hate him. Mr Owl City, is just 2fab4u.
This man doesn’t get enough credit for being such an inspiration, he creates incredible atmospheric, melodic and magical music. But doesn’t get enough credit because he’s not “marketable” like all those fake artists who use their sex appeal to sell their “music” Adam actually worked hard to achieve his career but he doesn’t get enough credit for it. That just sucks! And shows how unfair the music industry really is today. Thank you Adam for being such an inspiration for me.
Whenever I go through these old videos of Adam Young I kind of feel sad :( I miss how cheerful he used to be back then. Although I don't know him personally nor have I met him but going through his recent videos (Specially the 2015 concert in China) he looks so..well, how I say it.."reserved"?! Seriously, I wonder if he's ok :'( Take care Adam...
There's something about Adam that will always mystify me. He always seems so interoverted, shy, and humble at the same time, until he lets go whenever he's playing his music on stage. At first you might think that he's not that hard to understand, but I will always wonder of the depths of that brilliant mind of his..
You know how at concerts they say "This is my favorite city so far on the tour!" or something like that and it's obviously a lie? Well at his concert I went to in Minneapolis he said "It's so great to be home" and I almost shit my pants I screamed so hard.
When I turn 16 get a drivers license, some friends, and a car. I will go to an Owl city concert with those friends, my car and drivers license. It will be owlsome!
So this October I WENT TO AN OWL CITY CONCERT! IT WAS SOOOOOOO AMAZING AND IT MADE MY YEAR! AND I LOVED IT SOOOOO MUCH! I did not drive there though and none of my friends went but it was still SOOOOOOO SOOO GREAT!
This was a magical time in my life, I remember it like yesterday. I used to watch this video over and over again, because I loved (and still do) Owl City. The innocent optimism is something that this album specifically conveys to me is one that i sorely miss in my life, so every so often i will listen to Ocean Eyes and harken back to the days of my early teens, where i was a quirky kid just trying to get by highschool. I will forever be grateful for Adam and his music making such a heavy impression on me. May everyone find happiness in their own special way, Thank you Adam.
i was 9 back then couldnt travel let alone buying a ticket to one these, but i now im 19 and i wish i could turn back time and go to one of these concerts
I only discovered Owl City in 2016. I need to go to a concert of his before I die. I have connected to his music in a way that I haven't to any other music.
Little did he know that, 3 years after starting this project, it would become a worldwide phenomenon. Whether or not he will be a one-hit-wonder remains to be seen; to me he will always be a wonder, and every song a precious gift.
A guy named 'Juan' from facebook, a member of 'Owl City Fans Club' group said that there's an error in one part of the video (2:24) And that is: Why is that girl who played cello had three hands instead of two but you do not see anyone else behind her? Is someone teaching her or a GHOST? 😱
The more I learn about Adam Young, the more convinced I am that he is the greatest musician of this generation. Outstanding person. Outstanding music. We need more like him.
Okay literally, When I saw him with his glasses on my heart just melted he is so adorable. xD He really came out of his shell, he used to be SOO shy but now-a-days he's all calm and collected. I love him. He's- Amazing. ♥ :D
watching his again after a few years now...Adam still wonderful but I miss the old days! :") I miss the old songs, I wish I could have gone to more of the older concerts...anybody got a Tardis or anything so I can go back in time!!!!!
This man has always inspired me to give my best in every situation. I remember my days back in middle school when I had a few frnds only...his songs were my only way of being an extrovert....atleast in Adam's beautiful imaginative world.
I will never forget the time i went to his concert! I had a blast and i knew all his song. I cried when he came out cause i would never thought i see him at a concert! Love ya adam!
Whenever I hear his music, I think of lying underneath the stars or watching the sun rise or set. It's just so peaceful, occasionally slightly melancholic, but always with this deep-rooted optimism. It's hard to find that in music. Your music is both deep and wonderful, please keep it up, Owl City! God has really blessed you. =)
aww adam's so awesome, i'm so happy for all the success he's gotten over the past years. I'm so glad I got to see him front row in a small venue a couple years ago before he got this big! I don't think i'd be able to relive that experience again...
really what i love about Adam the most is how he's so open with his faith and he's just a normal guy... i mean, some of the things he puts on his fan page on facebook are hilarious and normal
he is such a chill guy. he seems like a down to earth great guy. more people should try to be like him. i think he's one of the most positive role models today
I went to an Owl City Concert during his 2011 tour. I remember I cried when "Angels" started, it wasn't even one of my favorite songs of his but it just hit me that night. I would love to go to another concert of his someday, I love his music and he is adorable live.
Owl City is a genius and honestly the world needs to know. I honestly believe Owl City and Adele are the few singers who sing really beautiful music these days devoid of foul language.
I have loved music for more than fifty years and yet what Owl City does stands out because it is simply outstanding! The music, the melodies, the voice, the lyrics marinate so wonderfully well that it is the perfect recipe for success!
I've been listening to you for ten years and I never get tired of listening to your work, your songs keep me going good bless you Adam and I hope I'll meet you in person one day and just thank you and talk.
You know what is kind of weird? I like listening to Ocean Eyes while I am in a car ride and just look out the window. Owl City music just kind of makes me feel about how happy the world is, and all of his music makes me think of nature and idk. It just makes me happy :)
What I love about Adam Young, is that his music is GENUINELY different, and he's such a nice guy. He doesn't take his fans for granted, and he wants to show that he really appreciates and loves everyone. Why people hate him is beyond me :\
Wait… people hate him?! For what💀💀
@@Madison-lh5rlhis song is so pure about imagination, nostalgia, happiness, no swear, no curse , no drugs or any silly things like other music nowadays.
I don't know why they hate him so much either! 😭 He's helped me through so much!
Awh man, I would kill to travel back in time and go to one of the Ocean Eyes concerts!
Omg! You took the words right out of my mouth! If only it were possible! The only way I can "attend" old concerts is thru watching them on vids here on YT. Thank God for that at least!
we still have a chance! he seems to perform in his hometown a lot. so, if ally gets the job, vesper gets the house, and i can hunt adam down! and meet him in person. it would work right?!?!?
Sounds awesome to me!
can I get in on this?
Our adventure can still go on!!

This is amazingly well put, Adam is my favorite musician and he always will be 😎
I loved how they prayed before the show :D
+Talia Young blessings brother
Talia Y
same, and (even if I'm not a "religious freak") I love the religious references in his songs
he's such a happy smol bean
Adam Young is my favorite singer ever and his music has literally changed my life
I just love Adam so much. He is so adorable and I really love hearing him talk a lot idk why
Note to self: Owl City likes Ice cream Sandwiches
YourLocalHugDealer I LOVE ice cream sandwiches!
Who doesn’t? :D
This man doesn’t get enough credit for being such an inspiration, he creates incredible atmospheric, melodic and magical music. But doesn’t get enough credit because he’s not “marketable” like all those fake artists who use their sex appeal to sell their “music”
Adam actually worked hard to achieve his career but he doesn’t get enough credit for it. That just sucks! And shows how unfair the music industry really is today.
Thank you Adam for being such an inspiration for me.
I miss Adam's hairstyle in here...
We all do but we gotta accept the man's almost 30. There's no going back...
Yeah lol
remember the line in his song firebird? ‘That’s alright cause everything changes’
I love this guy, he's such an inspiration. He's just doing what he loves, and everyone loves him for it. I hope i can be like him someday :)
Aliano19personauser me too
Dreams don't turn to dust. :)
Light_inThe_Dark Amen.
i could never be one of those people who had the chance to meet him

Seriously, I wonder if he's ok :'(
Take care Adam...
I know this is really late. But I was hearing he was sick during that concert. So that might have been the reason he was so reserved.
Xecutioner Gunner this is really late, but adam is fine, lol.
Well suffice it to say he grew up. Everyone does it, he’s still happy but unless childlike way.
He’s probably more reserved now as he’s older and wants to keep his life private from the media.
I love how he's wearing a LIGHTS jumper xD
Seriously though the world needs more guys like him, he is perfect boyfriend material.
The Ocean Eyes Era (Adam) and Speak Now Era (Taylor) defined who I am today and I will be forever grateful to them for that.
There's something about Adam that will always mystify me.
He always seems so interoverted, shy, and humble at the same time, until he lets go whenever he's playing his music on stage.

Yup I from Iowa but close enough right? (I hope)
Matt that was me when I went to r5's VA show and they went on and on about how great it is and I was like YESSSSSSSS
When I turn 16 get a drivers license, some friends, and a car. I will go to an Owl city concert with those friends, my car and drivers license. It will be owlsome!
Take me with youuu! XD
Happily fellow Owl City fan and internet stranger! XD
Tris J. That actually is really funny cause its a quote from vanilla twilight lol
So this October I WENT TO AN OWL CITY CONCERT! IT WAS SOOOOOOO AMAZING AND IT MADE MY YEAR! AND I LOVED IT SOOOOO MUCH! I did not drive there though and none of my friends went but it was still SOOOOOOO SOOO GREAT!
Emmy Joy: I know you wrote that three years ago, but that is the cutest thing I have ever read! 😊❤
i want a teddy bear from him....
... or him as your teddy bear 🙈
ᗷᒪᗩᑕK ᑕᒪOᑌᗪ heehee! Yes!😻
I think I finally figured out why some people hate owl city....
1. They are jealous
2. They are addicted to rap
3. They r stupid
X
Hey im addicted to rap but i LOVE this guy
Right?
Shawn Christopher, am I right?
I didn't even know that the word hate could be in the same sentence as Owl City....... 😂
i would love to see Owl City as The Doctor in Doctor Who
When?
Discorded Brony YES. MY GOODNESS YES. WHEN CAN THIS HAPPEN?!
Discorded Brony im up for that!
Hell yeah 😂
it had to be said…
Yes I collect Fireflies now…
Fireflies are cool.
This was a magical time in my life, I remember it like yesterday. I used to watch this video over and over again, because I loved (and still do) Owl City. The innocent optimism is something that this album specifically conveys to me is one that i sorely miss in my life, so every so often i will listen to Ocean Eyes and harken back to the days of my early teens, where i was a quirky kid just trying to get by highschool.

I wish I could go back in time to 2009 to go to an Ocean Eyes Concert.
Ever get the feeling that you were born at the wrong time?
I luved the end,"I'm so tired "
i was 9 back then couldnt travel let alone buying a ticket to one these, but i now im 19 and i wish i could turn back time and go to one of these concerts
the part where he prayed made my day
I only discovered Owl City in 2016. I need to go to a concert of his before I die. I have connected to his music in a way that I haven't to any other music.
Me. Too man
Me too. I can’t even explain it.
He’s wearing a Lights hoodie! We love legends supporting legends :D
Little did he know that, 3 years after starting this project, it would become a worldwide phenomenon. Whether or not he will be a one-hit-wonder remains to be seen; to me he will always be a wonder, and every song a precious gift.
adam is so awesome, and his words are perfect. so perfect + awesome =...OWL CITY!!
The fact that they pray together is such an inspiration. He has everything yet still humbled himself before the One who gave him this blessing
2:44 i love his shoes
Onitsuka Tigers rules!
@@realitynotexist the silhouette almost looks like the original nike cortez
FROZONE Kind of haha
A guy named 'Juan' from facebook, a member of 'Owl City Fans Club' group said that there's an error in one part of the video (2:24)
And that is:
Why is that girl who played cello had three hands instead of two but you do not see anyone else behind her?
Is someone teaching her or a GHOST? 😱
why is he so that adorable ahh God please i want a boyfriend like him, err, no, a husband. Please God, thank you.
I wish U get want U want. If married then i pray Ur husband always cheer u up.😇
I will always love his music but the first album will always be the best. No matter what
Daniel Mckeown Are you speaking about Of June or Ocean Eyes? Because Of June technically was made before Ocean Eyes
@@mikerice868 out of all three, maybe I'm dreaming is better
And Owl City be like: "Screw T-shirts! I'm givin' out teddy bears!"
god i love him love his music love how he's not afraid to show that he's a christain and absolutely LOVE how he lets himself go on stage! so yeah... I
he's so young!!
Well his name does sound a lot like "I am young."
3:27 - "A good song is never finished, it's just abandoned"
When the crowd started signing Fireflies, I seriously got tears in my eyes. It's just... amazing.
The more I learn about Adam Young, the more convinced I am that he is the greatest musician of this generation.
Outstanding person. Outstanding music. We need more like him.
Okay literally, When I saw him with his glasses on my heart just melted he is so adorable. xD
He really came out of his shell, he used to be SOO shy but now-a-days he's all calm and collected. I love him. He's- Amazing. ♥ :D
Always come back to this video for nostalgia
Thank you Adam for being a shining light in this haunted house of a world

The first few seconds are so nostalgic
I know it's many years pass by but Adam Young You're my idol and favorite singer since I heard your songs..
This man has always inspired me to give my best in every situation. I remember my days back in middle school when I had a few frnds only...his songs were my only way of being an extrovert....atleast in Adam's beautiful imaginative world.

I'm a metalhead and I love Owl City. They always make me feel good.
He totally deserves to be famous, so humble :) x
He really is the best! I recently got my toddler into his music as well. Good man, good message, good music! I’ll always support him.
