Happy birthday Adam! - July 5th 2024

[@MammalMan]

What I feel listening to owl city I can never feel anywhere else. This sweet breeze with glorious melodies talking about the tiniest aspects of life, that's owl city. Its been so long Adam, its been so long. Thank you for this blessing of wonderful music. Excited to treat my ears with the full album.

my dad took me to my first ever concert when i was 11 on july 5th- it was an owl city concert. i knew it was his birthday (i had looked up his wiki earlier) and during the intermission i screamed “HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADAM” and got the whole crowd to start singing happy birthday to him! such a magical experience at such a magical concert. love you adam, keep up the amazing work!

[@gregoryjames5005]

This song really spoke to me. there are so many artists out there talking about how their parents screwed them up or screwed them over or neglected them or left them. And I know that those types of songs mean something to a lot of people. I just don't connect to those songs because my parents taught me love and respect. This song... This song spoke to me. What a beautiful song about life's beginnings and working class parents that didn't have much to give except love and hope. Thank you Adam

[@ChristmasCarolyn]

Then you're going to love his other song that I suspect is a love song dedicated to his father. It's called "Not All Heroes Wear Capes". Warning: it might make you cry. But don't worry, it's a good kind of emotional, happy cry. (T u T )

Can we all just agree that Adam has the voice of an angel which is so peaceful and so quiet and so heart warming The way he says that was when life began for me always makes me cry because of how softly he says it Owl City. We missed you.

[@AnggaNegara]

yeah his voice is very very beautiful and dreamy. I agree with you.

[@Ginie1429]

Lyrics : My mum woke my dad up And said, "It's time to leave" So they jumped in the old Caprice And tore off into the night On the fourth of July They flew through the darkness Driving like Jehu And they rolled into Ottumwa Before the sun began to rise On the fourth of July And in walks Bob and Janice Rachel's on her way To peek in through the window Hoping to hear her grandson cry On the fourth of July My mother watched the fireworks From her hospital bed And after it was all over She held me for the first time On the fifth of July I've got my mother's brown eyes And my dad's quiet way And Grandma Rachel's love for music The morning I arrived On the fifth of July Deeping in Iowa country And a heavenly hideaway On the shores of Lake Rathbun My folks brought me home On the fifth of July That was when (that was when) Life began (life began) For me And that was when (that was when) Life began (life began) For me A teacher and a mechanic Brought me into this world And they loved me with all their hearts since The day I opened my eyes On the fifth of July That was when (that was when) Life began (life began) For me That was when (that was when) Life began (life began) For me

These past few years have been a chore. From work, school and family, I feel soo sore, but when I think of throwing in the towel, I'm reminded that this life is more than the sum of my worries. On the 9th of March 1993, my mom and dad took a risk. Out of love and hope they gave me a gift. Having never met me before, it was quite the risk. I can't thank them enough for giving me birth, because that was when life began for me.

[@LunaLittleGalaxy]

A lot of Owl City's songs are basically music put to poetry, as opposed to most artists who put lyrics to their music. I noticed how different the styling of these lyrics were compared to most other songs. The styling and the placement of each word seemed a lot more poetic than Fiji Water, for example. It also had no real chorus besides "On the fourth of July/On the fifth of July", which is also a very common trope in poetry. It's how they get their names. I also noticed it in songs like Air Traffic and Sky Diver. Both of those have no real chorus and poetic styles, and they get their names from a common theme in the song. Much like poems would. You don't see poems repeating a chorus over and over again, do you? Or taking their names from a repeated line in the chorus? Unless they're songs (which people consider poetry, anyway), no. Real poems without any music or beat attached to them, this song is like that. He could have written down these lyrics and published them in a book and no one would have ever suspected that this was written as a song. Can you do that with most other songs? That's why Owl City is one of the most creative people ever. Most artists don't even think of singing poems.

[@goodnightosaka]

GalaxyLPSTV agreed

[@raghavaroranetwork]

Beautifully explained. I agree.

[@katarzynamysluk3801]

If he actually DID publish it as a -normal- poem, I'd make sure he got a Nobel Prize in literature for that.

I wish you all the best, above all, that you keep your essence, because through it, souls find peace and a light that allows them to continue with their lives. Thank you for all, thank you for being alive, thak you for inspiring... I wish you could see this message one day. I don´t expect you to answer but to keep it in your heart...
