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
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
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.
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 CZcams for a long time for some reason. I'm glad its back
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.
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 :)
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..
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).
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 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 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!!!
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
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❤
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 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
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)".

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 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 💙🦋

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?
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 is the most underrated love song ever. There, I said it.
And it still slaps
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.

Don’t worry, there is someone that will fill that room in your heart too.
Awwwww this is so cute
Made my day
oh! this story warmed my heart ❤😍
😭😭
This is better than any other romantic films because this is real 😊
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.

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!
I love how there's comments here from 7 years ago, but also like a week ago xD

this was a moment in our lives that is unforgettable and so wonderful
i miss the early to mid - 2000s waaaaahhh
0:26 🎶🎵 why is so amazing 😭😍😍💕
Now this is a song that certainly gives you chills!
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.
Also yo same fav shade
Exactly the same for me, his music actually inspired me to begin producing
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.

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.

Hes amazing
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 CZcams for a long time for some reason. I'm glad its back
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.
2019 now but the feels is still good with this song :>
Still listening to this beautiful music
(2019)
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.
i love how this song has such weird lyrics but they tell an amazing love story :)
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.

"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.
it makes me think of soooo many memories :'(
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.
Emily is so lucky to have you, this shit had me in tears
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 :)

It's so calming I'm crying such a great song da best
Whoever created this masterpiece, i really thank you for giving me a mornings melody
You make very beautiful illustrations! :)
The way you edit them really adds magic to the music.
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" ?
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..
I dedicate this song to uploader because she seems cute in her profile pic
I miss Owl City!!!
this is the only song i can listen to over and over again without ever getting tired of it
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
hahaha...Adam is great :)
Elakid me with Pokémon black 😂
Lol
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
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 ❤️
Years later I am here cause this is the right version to the song . Thank you
i found this video back in 6th grade. i'm glad its still up! :))

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!
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
96 people didn't get caught when they fell
I didn't either, but I'm still liking
This is my most favorite song, only from Owl City. :)
This song is beautiful and the pure innocence of the pictures suit it PERFECTLY!
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.
WHAT KIND OF TRASH IS THIS???? IT FREAKING SU- and now I'm hypnotized by it's beauty... I LOVE OWL CITY!!!
My favorite song since 2012 ❤️
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!!!

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
The drawings make this so wholesome
i love the back round pictures they tell u the story along with song its cute and helpful
"Chills run down my spine
As our fingers entwine
And your sighs harmonize with mine "
God-tier songwriting, right there.
I automatically thought of my ex girlfriend (who i still love)... and almost cried.....
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 honestly love this song so much

My favorite song i fall asleep to it every night... so many memories.
This is the best video on CZcams as far as I am concerned! :) Thank you hsac4life for the amazing video! You touched many lives!
Robert R are you sure about that?
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.
oh my gosh this is like my favorite song ever. your video is amazing :D
Makes me smile because you said it best❤
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. 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.

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.
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
I love your videos- love the pictures!!
oh, got back to the time i first watched this video, 2012. how much have passed by since.
When I found out this was a shout out to the book Skybreaker ♥♥
Kendra H it's WHAT
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?
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
never had a thumbs up before, but thumbs up if you were thinking of that special someone the whole time you listened..
:( It hurts
Same here u.u
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 has been stuck in my head all day and I just love it.
your videos are truly beautiful! :) thank you so much for posting it!
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 ❤️
If my heart was a house
You'd pay rent
efffin 11 years, feel so old yet but the feelings way back when hearing this song for the first time remains.
this is awesome
just what i needed right now thank you
LOVE this song! and I really liked how you put it together! very cute :)
it's simply amazing. very well done! :D
I love your vids. They are so creative and go perfectly with owl city songs.
This is cute! I love the pictures!! :D
This is so cute! Love it!
I must say..... This is the most adorable thing I've seen in a long while!!!
I really love your little videos! They are absolutely adorable
In my opinion this is the best romatic song out there!
