[@OliviANDixie]

I hope if Adam ever looks back on these interviews, I hope he never gets those past-moments-embarrassment feelings, 'cause he stayed true and honest. He handled the awkwardness of not agreeing 100% with the interviewer at times without being rude but yet staying un-manipulated. Adam inspired me so much, if I could just say thank you to him, man, his example just means so much to me. And it's Jesus in his heart is why.

Is it correct that he’s autistic ?

[@darklightmotion5534]

​@@mscoot629I think a bunch of the music, especially Fireflies could be autism coded but idk if Adam is autistic

[@colorfulflashoflight]

This is definitely why i love adam's music because you turn it on and it's imagination and anything can happen in his songs. It is surreal and amazing.

[@dontworrybehappy5431]

He has an inner kid character inside of him in a good way

[@K300-z9y]

I know. He is such a nice person. He has aspergers syndrome, and he's really shy and gets stage fright, but he has been able to cope with it a lot better. He has a heart of gold. :)

Boy, this interview is so nostalgic! I remember being thirteen years old and being enthralled by Adam's music. I used to play the MP3 files from my computer over and over again. I love the direction he's gone and I can't wait for more!

Owl City and Imagine Dragons!!!! A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN

[@dandelionmosssycamore8218]

I agree with you 100%

[@smisoles]

💯

[@void_fimshe]

If Owl City and Imagine Dragons had a mashup, then it would be between their songs, "Angels" and "Demons". They (the songs) actually go swell with each other.

[@jalamoureux5895]

This guy is cool he didn't sell his soul for money and he stayed with Jesus

[@Blazerghost]

ja Lamoureux eh hard to tell with Hollywood... don't annex that possibility just because of how he portrays himself during interviews and song.

[@Blazerghost]

@5th Round Lawler good for you so when you die nothing should happen.

Adam young is very humble

[@cagzomo]

I'm a huge fan of Adam Young. I just worry that the dreamland wonder he's able to convey in his music could be lost in collaboration. I understand his feelings about wanting to grow and expand as an artist but I just don't want that glow to fade..

[@BeyBladGuy365]

I want to see more songs like Fireflies, that was awesome

Lindsey Stirling and now almost Imagine Dragons! I love Adam's music so much my eyes are tearing up!!! That would be the best thing ever, and he is the best inspiration ever. He came out of nowhere, and he is shy, yet he is incredibly famous! You have to love this guy for acting like any other person, and that is what makes me want to be somebody.

[@l.a.b.industries]

The wonder in Adam's eyes at the beginning is the same wonder portrayed in everything from Fireflies, Thunderstruck, Cinematic and even Shackleton. We miss you buddy, can't wait for whatever you might have next!

[@OliviANDixie]

I feel like Adam is just living his life now, born from the freedoms God brought him through his music. And someday he will have enough experiences from his life that his poetic heart will pour into new songs that he will share yet again. So happy for him.

Watching this in 2020 makes me miss the days when Owl City's music was popular. It still is but not as much. Still a fan though.

[@GoldEvil911]

Sadly I didn't actually know his true colors and how amazing he was until this video, and I've listened to his music since Fireflies. By amazing I mean not a complete shy introvert who just makes good music. I rarely saw interviews where he actually spoke out besides this one...

[@PhilShary]

In fact he is a shy introvert who makes good music, but here is playing a role of a cool pop star guy and he's so into it that he convinced himself to do that - it's a unique quality of Cancerians.

[@GoldEvil911]

Phil Shary Yeah well I don't mind it too much as long as he keeps the "makes good music" trait. :)

Vesper Seriously? Every adult hears it all the time. I bet he's used to it. Even because he's a Christian.

[@vesper180]

I Sir Laughsalot yeah everybody hears it, but hopefully not when they are being INTERVIEWED! I mean he's not out on the street somewhere. I've seen a lot of his interviews and tbh this is the first time I saw someone say something so crude during one. it's extremely unprofessional and kinda disrepectful of Adam, because I would hope the interviewer would have bothered to learn something about the person they were gonna interview. So...ykwim, now?

[@isirlaughsalot2675]

Vesper In that case, when you are talking about interviews, I do agree it's disrespectful and unprofessional.

Not even a minute in, and I can tell that this guy is definitely an Aspie.

[@KeybladePirate]

+Aubren Lewis How though?

[@eveningdim7167]

inverted introvert Because I am one and I have experience with other people who also have Asperger's. It's the way he talks, how he chooses to interpret the reporter and answer back, and what he notices in his surroundings and his impression of it.

[@KeybladePirate]

Aubren Lewis Could you give examples?

[@eveningdim7167]

inverted introvert Best bet is to look up other blogs on KZbin made by aspies. Just watch enough of them, and maybe you'll see. My info is just from observation.

[@KeybladePirate]

Thanks Aubren. I'm curious because it's been pointed out to me that i may have Aspergers so i want to know what that looks like. Whereas this guy, while shy, seems to be able to function in interviews and i don't think i could do that but maybe that's completely unrelated.
