Ok, this is a guy that makes his own stuff and people really do love this guy. Every single song of his is chill to listen to and soft sounding to the ear. I even like to listen to it to chill myself out. I just personally think that he says the most random words in the world! But people still love it because i'm guessing they are focusing on the single words and how cute they are. I dunno.

Does anyone agree with me? Or am I just not listening or understanding it correctly?

This is just one of his songs. The one they've been playing on the radio.

"Fireflies"

You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
Cause they'd fill the open air
And leave tear drops everywhere
You'd think me rude but I would just stand and
Stare

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns, slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Cause everything is never as it seems

Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach my how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
A sock-hop beneath my bed
The disco ball is just hanging by a thread
(Thread, thread...)

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns, slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Cause everything is never as it seems
(When I fall asleep)

Leave my door open just a crack
(Please take me away from here)
Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(Please take me away from here)
Why do I tire of counting sheep?
(Please take me away from here)
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
(Ha-ha)

To ten million fireflies
I'm weird cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
(Said farewell)
But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar
(Jar, jar, jar...)

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns, slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Cause everything is never as it seems
(When I fall asleep)
[x2]

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns, slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams


I'm not saying he's the best but i'm not saying he's the worst either. I mean my favorite of his is Saltwater Room. It keeps my mind from thinking about anything stressful.

Just want an opinion from you guys on what you think of this guy.

AHHHHHH I HATE THAT SONG!!!

A reason why would make that a more legit post.

Also, you are MarioBros, yet you only represent Mario. Explain.

how am I only representing mario?

Haha, you bring that up in every post!

Those lyrics are pretty damn strange. :O

I mess with Mario, but yeah, I don't understand them. Why is that his method? What in the english language makes that kind of lyrics make sense?

His lyrics are like just random words put together into a song..

Owl City's older songs are getting way more recognition now. I've been a total fanatic of his music since 2008, and I noticed that his old pieces like Fuzzy Blue Lights and Designer Skyline are getting a ton of hits on YouTube and other sites. So, it looks like he has officially moved on from being called a One-hit wonder

True and he's also having like every girl say that his voice is so hot. He's so hot....a bunch of groupies haha. But it's good that he made something of himself. If he can do it, many other can.

Yep I'm glad that he has gone mainstream while still making good music. Usually popularity makes some musicians think they can pump out crap and make millions.

I can't even turn on the radio without hearing it anymore.

The song is pretty good, but I don't like his voice that much.
It just sounds strange for some reason.

See "Californication" by Red Hot Chili Peppers.
This song has enough words put together to make a little bit of sense.

Yes, yes, the music is soothing but the words to me...have no meaning to it. Either I don't relate to it or it really doesn't have meaning. Although, it's very catching.

Also, he's not that hot, honestly, I think Nick Jonas is better looking.

Q: Does he know how to sing? Is it just the auto-tune that makes his voice sound nice?

how can you say a song that makes absolutely no sense isnt crap? thats exactly the type of song thats killing the music industry.. just a bunch of random ass words strung together to make a song.. all people listen to is the melody and beat of a song, nobody cares about lyrics anymore. its sad, and its killing music. i would probably like that song if the idiot had put some effort into trying to make a song that made sense instead of putting the mainstream, non making sense, meaningless lyrics that mindless youth listens to nowadays. it makes me shameful of my own generation...
