I usually never comment on things, but thank you so much for making this video because I’ve never felt so understood in my love for owl city, he’s been a constant in my life for about 10 years now?? I think?? When I was about 12 a friend showed me to the sky one day during class and we would listen to it everyday since then. Even years after not even talking to that friend anymore I fell in love with the style, the instrumentals and the gorgeous imagery that Adam puts in his songs, it even seems like I fall in love deeper each year that passes and it seems like there are always new things I’ve never noticed before in his songs, little details or lyrics that have more meaning as I grow old. These days I’m listening to All Things Bright and Beautiful constantly everyday and angels is my favorite of the album for sure although plant life is really growing on me, I don’t even know what I’m saying anymore just wanted to say thank you I guess since I don’t really have people I can share this love with, hope you have a wonderful day :)

​@@davidtang2549 You expressed my thoughts.. i never knew anyone who even knew Adam, but a few weeks ago I found out that one guy in a math camp knew - and more importantly, really liked - When can I see you again. So the last night, when everyone was partying downstairs and we had the smaller reproductor all for ourselves, I played some of the songs to him (When can I see you again, Unbelievable, Verge and maybe My everything, if I remember correctly). He seemed to like them, but for me the most shocking thing was his reaction. Instead of saying something like „Nice songs“ he told me to not care that the others don't like Adam's style and listen to what I like and encouraged me to spread his optimistic music far and wide. What a legend. And what a great community around this singer ❤

Owl City is that artist that I listened to all a time as a kid and is someone I keep coming back to randomly now. The Tornado has really got me back into listening to him regularly though, I really love the storytelling in that song and the double meaning (at least from my interpretation) of it being about going through a depressive episode, while I don’t suffer from depression personally I know people that have and I find this song really powerful. At that moment that’s my favourite, but there are loads of songs he’s done that I can listen to over and over again and never get bored of. Great list, I haven’t listened to all of these before so will definitely be filling in the gaps over the next few days!

Heya! I'm so glad you liked the list and I hope it's introduced you to at least a few new songs that you'll like! Adam definitely is an amazing storyteller -- I really think the latest album shows off that skill so much. The Tornado is one that's really grown on me more and more as I listen to Coco Moon. Glad you love it too!

This was so fun! Adam has been my favorite artist for a long time. Small correction on "Firebird" though - that song was actually about his wife's brother. I remember seeing somewhere that Adam wrote the song from the now-Mrs. Abbey Young's perspective, going back through her memory lane with her about how close she was with her brother growing up.

Hey there! Thank you so much, that's so cool to know! Someone reminded me that he was an only child, but I didn't know what's who the song was about. I'm so impressed at his ability to tell and story in such an intimate and personal way. It feels like that connection is deeply personal to him 😅 Thanks so much for taking the time to watch this -- I know it's a super long video!!! 🙏🥳 I'm glad it was fun!!

You should absolutely watch Cast Away. It’s a good movie plus I think you’ll appreciate the lyrics of Kelly Time more. I love how Adam reuses themes and lyrics throughout all his music. My favourite is that the “Cause I walk alone” part of Silhouette (2:45 - 3:10) is the same melody as the “I don’t feel so alone” (1:30 - 1:50) part of Vanilla Twilight. I’ve always wondered if those two songs are a prequel/sequel-type of situation.

Thanks so much for the comment! I think I'll make some time to watch it just so I can understand the lyrics to Kelly Time better! ☺️ And yeah, you are so right!

I love that I’m just now realizing that a lot of owl city fans have similar back stories in their love and connection to owl city. Adam young has taken a good permanent chunk of my brain and resided there just jamming at all time since 2009 when I was 11. My favorite childhood memories are taking walks in the field in my back yard with headphones listening to owl city just escaping the world and freely feeling like myself. I continued taking these walks up to current. Since I gave birth to my son last year I haven’t been able to walk as much but I make sure to take time to play his music and give myself moments in time to escape once again into such a wonderful place❤️

As a extreme fan of owl city and adams music it was so cool you made this video! I mean constant talking over 5 hours, that's dedication. I actually thought I knew a lot of adams music but this video got me to realize I only scratched the surface of a whole ocu (owl city cinamatic universe.) Some of my favorites, "If My Heart Was a House" and "Silhouette" are certainly hidden gems. I recently also begain listening to the instrumentals from the albums and got a new favorite "Country Hymm" which is a nostalgic and peaceful track with a simplictic yet impactful piano tune. Kinda reminds me of the beginning owl city's song "Always" At the end of the day, its just really fun to jam out to these songs. There is so much variety in all their music- theres like a song for every day of the year ^^

A good friend of mine sent me a Spotify link to Ocean Eyes when it dropped in 2009. I laid down in the dark with headphones, listened to 20 seconds of Cave In and fell in love. «Please take a long hard look through your text book, cause I’m history.» So many memories of that time when I was still in college. Thank you so much for this awesome video, it’s now 03:38 here in Norway.

Oh. My. Gosh. 😅 I think over the course of filming my scale shifted a little. Honestly, out of all the comments, this is definitely my most egregious mistake in the video. Back to back, I would've never done that 😂😂😂 Also thank you for checking out the video! :)

Incredible job on putting this video together, I know it took forever to film and even more time to edit. SO happy you put If My Heart Was a House royalty tier, that one has been a favorite since my Grooveshark days. My other favorite would probably be Cinematic, I think that album is a masterpiece and that song in particular just makes me tear up and inspires me to follow my dreams. If I had recording equipment I would be so down to record Honey and the Bee lol. Again, amazing video and I hope you get to see him on tour!

Thanks so much Shelley! I think it's so weird that If My Heart Was a House isn't more popular? It feels almost lost among all the other great songs on Ocean Eyes, but I absolutely love it so And you're so right, Cinematic is a masterpiece front to back, and it's enhanced so much by listening to it as a whole.

... My mom has the ocean eyes cd and when I was younger she always use to play it for us while she was cleaning the house, her favourite was always fireflies. MY favourite was Dental Care though, haha. Now that I've actually listened to his other music I'd have to say The Tornado and Silhouette are tied as my favourites.

Oh my gosh Dental Care is such a good song though. That one and rugs from me to you always make me laugh. I actually just release a cover of Silhouette today, if you're interested!

Interesting tier list, can't say I agree with all of it but I'm happy to see Be Brave getting some love. That song is some powerful stuff.

Thanks for taking the time to check it out! Even my opinions have changed some since making this video, so I feel you 🤣 Be Brave will definitely always be a favorite for me, like you said, it's just so powerful.

Great video! My ranking would definitely be a little different but I do agree that Adam doesn't make bad music so its hard to rate it all. To answer your question, I can't pick one one song as my favourite. its actually impossible, I think. Adams music is so closely associated with different stages and memories in my life that I couldn't choose just one. I'll just say I enjoy 99% of his music immensely and I am enjoying Coco Moon an awful lot with Kelly Time and Under the Circus Lights being my favs.

Thank you so much! Yeah, even looking back at this video I have some songs I'd like to change already! I love his music so much and it's hard to put anything beneath another. Coco Moon has been seriously fire though! I think you're experience with his music is so cool. I totally relate to having songs that were really significant at certain stages of my life, but have been replaced with some different ones. That's one of the coolest things about following someone for so long.

@@JoelAbshier I'm sure any list I made would change week to week. I went through a period years ago listening to All Things Bright and Beautiful on repeat for months and completely burnt myself out on it. I've only just recently come back to that album to re-experience and re-appreciate it all over again. Ocean Eyes and Maybe I'm Dreaming were my gaming albums as a kid and I loved listening to them while playing RPGs. Adam's music has shaped me so much and I'm looking forward to whatever he creates next.

It's so cool how the experience of an album can completely change depending on where you're at. Adam's music is really perfect for that too, with his style of lyrics. I'm deep in a Coco Moon phase right now, haha.
