That's because they both have a great sense of music knowledge.. And both of them make dreamy, great melodic tracks and their sound design is also awesome... They design their sounds perfectly...

the reason Owl City songs hit so hard is their imaginative child-like lyrics and, as mentioned in this video, nostalgic instrumentals. combined, they create some real tearjerkers songs, even if some lyrics don't make the most sense to many of us.
