Owl City | Under The Circus Lights (Official Lyric Video)

[@emceepingas]

this song is such a perfect example of what a brilliant storyteller adam is. even without the fantasy-like elements and metaphors of his earlier works, this still manages to capture that same level of wonder and beauty that made him so well known i swear this guy could write a song about taking the bus to work and it'd still be this breathtaking

[@ajw4782]

This is probably my favorite song on the album. It's not super often that pop songs are written in a 3/4 time signature.

[@JJ-no7bc]

True

[@matthewmacdonaldchannel1]

Woke up to the song in my feed and thought the same thing. “It’s pop but the rhythm is in... NO WAY!” 🤓🎼

[@nakdickson]

Could you please explain what you meant to me?

[@andfriends]

​@@nakdickson A time signature is how many beats in a measure (section). Most song are written on 4/4, so the beat goes 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4. In a song like this one though, the beat goes 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3 (like a waltz). Hope this helped 😊

[@alananoor4324]

A lot of owl city's 3/4 songs are often my favorite, despite not being a title track. They just sound extra magical.

[@diegopansini3152]

Why doesn’t this song have a music video already? It would be twice as magical!

[@edwardgrenore126]

All of his songs should have their music video tbh. They are all so dreamy!

[@LightcoreDJade]

Yes, it would be so magical if it has. Like a dreamy moments! 🌸

[@Alfie_chat]

Ikr

[@n_core]

Well, the production cost would also be as twice as magical. Adam's an indie musician now. He probably doesn't have a big budget to create a MV.

[@LightcoreDJade]

@@n_core It's possible bcuz Adam can have sponsorships and his works is awesome. Maybe he's too bz on his own business that's why.

[@PortalMasterRift]

I gotta be honest, without Owl City, I probably wouldn’t be the person that I am today

[@sunflowericedlatte]

Oh my gosh same here. I literally grew up listening to him. I started when I was 10 and now I’m 24.

[@field_notes.owlcity]

I really like this song! The sound effects of this album are so speciaaaal and make the album magical. 💗✨

[@kanseethehootz551]

I adore this song! I only went to a circus act a few times growing up, but this song, the imagery it evokes, the vocals, the sound effects and samples, and musical intricacies... it's magical. I love it all! Thank you, Adam! Thank you for Under the Circus Lights and all of Coco Moon!

[@jessicaduncan114]

Yes!!! His songs evoke experience laced emotions/feels! I feel the same way about Dinosaur Park. I have never been to a dino park, but I would imagine it would feel exactly the way he describes and captures it in the song. 🖤

[@florencegail2003]

Adam is very talented at conveying what he wants to tell through his diverse and heartfelt lyrics. Coco Moon is very clear about what Adam wants to tell. I think this album is like another collection of books told by a mysterious man, who doesn't care about popularity but only to reach its rightful audience. I'm glad I know Owl City.

[@lucidstarfield]

Super cute song! It oddly makes me think of the first concert I’ve ever been to (Owl City - Cinematic Show in 2018) and how it blew me away. I fell in love with the magic of creativity ✨ & I was definitely ‘sad for a day or two’ when the show ended 😂

[@PeterEMarx]

Someone should take Owl City's music and write a Broadway musical with it.

[@victorjohansen6038]

Fucking brilliant, that's what you are

[@SpicePrincess1890]

Dreamworks was going to do a musical movie called Me and My Shadow with Josh Gad and Bill Hader and Adam was set to do the entire soundtrack for it 😭😭I think he produced the whole thing and it was never released. Dreamworks did us dirty and canceled the film during production because they didn't think it would get them what they wanted in the box office 😭 We were robbed

[@kennethlaw5871]

--great idea there! 😍😍😄😈🖤💟💘💌💌💌💘💜💚💙💜🖤💟💯

[@klaara_]

This is pure magic. No other artist makes me feel this way.

[@GhostOperatorSD]

I've grown up with this man he helped me through some hard times

[@pamelannaka8660]

Adam’s music saved me when I moved to America as an immigrant. The depressing days and nights . Nights of tears which came with doubts from a new environment and a new journey.I’d listen to ocean eyes and cry so hard and go to bed and wake up feeling better .This music in this album is very dreamy. I cry and disappear in thoughts when I listen to it. I’m so happy, sad , scared at the same time . I imagine heaven, eternal life every single emotion happens to me . Adam, thank you. You have helped me so much and you’d never know. God bless you. See you in DC❤️

[@CasperFox]

This might be the best song of our generation, legit - The lyrics are perfect and the use of circus-like instruments is just genius. You are the greatest composer of modern times, Adam - Thank you so much for this song!

[@Skylineblue1997]

Do not forget that noise of circus and train

[@ceciliacawthorpe2803]

One of my favourite songs from CocoMoon. So inspiring and nostalgic! Thank you Adam

[@Vengeance404]

Best song of the album! It's epic, mysterious, cute and sad at the same time

[@diegopansini3152]

This is my favorite song of his in a while! I don’t remember the last time such a magical dreamy story was told in pure song like this

[@EmilyRobertsMusic_]

I feel an odd connection with this song that I can’t seem to describe. It truly is breathtaking. In fact, the whole of Coco Moon is breathtaking. Truly one of the best Owl City albums of all times, if I say so myself. (But Ocean Eyes & Maybe I’m dreaming will be my faves forever!)

[@OriRealCAOS]

I hadn't listen a lot of Owl City since the funny song, but oh lord Coco Moon is a masterpiece and they have become my favorite since I heard it

[@megalisa830bright6]

I think that Owl City's older albums have more dreamy and whimsical songs than his later albums! XD

[@JordanSoulman]

I'm a die-hard old-era owl city fan but I'm really finding an appreciation for his newer stuff!

[@OriRealCAOS]

@@megalisa830bright6 I hadn't listen to anything OC aside from the funny song; and I think that's what captivated me. The more grounded (kinda) themes of Coco Moon. But all of their old stuff I've been discovering and with the help of this chart is to be greatly appreciated. I love everything they've done so far!

[@EmilyRobertsMusic_]

@@megalisa830bright6 yeah, his style has definitely changed. But I do miss his dream genre. Maybe it’ll come back in the next album. (If there is a next one)

[@seunghineseyo]

I don’t know, I just feel like crying listening to this track. Owl City is always a forever gem.

[@Blacker94]

It's been 64 days since the release but that bridge at 2:44 gives me goosebumps every single time ❤

[@Sr1njan]

This deserves a music video honestly

[@deathdreath7606]

Owl city always delivers a masterpiece. Owl city has been my favorite since school. Many songs and years later, Owl city is still the best and my favorite. These songs have kept me going and are always a part of my playlist. God bless Owl city. You deserve more recognition than most.

[@JacksonC62]

I love this song, I hope it gets an actual music video too

[@kaylathewolf7990]

It would/will be stunning to see this one performed live. Just one more month for me, I’m so excited

[@gilmanuel6090]

I love this song. Owl City will always have a special place in my heart.

[@lakshanijayawardhana435]

Angelic voice, Magical music, beautiful lyrics. ♡ Love you Adam

[@vegangelo_29]

This is indeed one of my most favorite songs from Coco Moon. It's so lovely!

[@tirtoananda4348]

Terima Kasih Owl City (Kota Burung Hantu) Yang Sudah Menemani Aku Waktu Kecil Sampai Dewasa.

[@justincaelas]

My favorite song, see you tonight! Can't wait for this concert!

[@neoolde3958]

This song is absolutely magical, the imagery and storytelling are just so perfect. There's no other way to describe it, it's just spectacular, I was blown away listening to this for the first time. Thanks for blessing us with another great song Adam.

[@crazedhark5200]

Owl City saved me many many times back then, hearing this now, it feels like meeting an old friend again. Nostalgic yet new.

[@nakdickson]

His instruments always sends me to heaven 😊

[@BliXXardStorm]

One of the best new albums out there, love these songs, Adam!

[@sudhirkachhap7777]

Owl City is a Childhood memories for many people 😊

[@wade_says]

Maybe my favorite on the entire album! So magical, dream-inducing, well-composed and amazing!

[@MICHAELITUS]

Watching from Nigeria, All my childhood memory till now can't forget the impact your beautiful music tone has on me, thanks for good music owl city. Love this one in particular ♥️♥️.

[@hannahthehotcheeto]

I absolutely adore this song! its such a vibey song and i love the incredible imagery the lyrics brings! Amazing work Adam! 🥳

[@Whyme-wl4hb]

I still remember when I first heard the song fireflies. It reminds me of when I went on a walk through the woods with my dad one night and a whole bunch of fireflies came out of the grass when my dad tossed a stone.

[@hollow4k]

I love how after 13 years, he still hasn't changed his music style.

[@PeculiarSeeker]

💗💗💗💗 This is my second favorite song on the album, it gets stuck in my head for hours but I never get tired of it. It’s magical

[@LetterheadStudios]

The chorus makes me think of "Plant Life". I wonder if it's an intentional callback.

[@zappinghero4690]

This was like one of my top 5 current favorite songs on this album after more than a few listens of the song & album since about like a month ago now (while I was able to have the right time to give another official listen on the new album), the style & melody itself was really satisfying & interesting to listen to, and the part with the "Ladies & Gentlemen! Welcome to the most spectacular show!" with the fireworks was really great too! :)

[@teknomouse830]

The circus just came to town! I've been listening to this song recently, it's awesome! All of Coco Moon is, really. Great job, Adam! Hope y'all have a great day!

[@Vanessa-eh3wb]

I discovered Owl City when I was 14 and he became my favorite singer, today I am 26 and I still enjoy his music. almost 4 years ago I put a playlist of my favorite singer for my daughter while she was in my womb. Tonight she has fallen asleep while she was listening to this song. She was relaxed. I am definitely glad that Owl City exists and it makes me happy to share these songs with my daughter in her most beautiful years. I love you Adam Young♥ God bless you

[@nikkimel56]

Am I the only one that thinks that all Owl City songs tell a mystical story?

[@shariklase1546]

I like how each song of Owl City is a story. I'm always blown away by his talent!

[@RowanAboat-k2c]

How could someone like Adam fade into the background

[@Danagis]

"And She Took my Breath Away!"

[@Skylineblue1997]

What a masterpiece song from one man band, knowledge of many instruments really helping adam to make such a music,he is gem,he needed to be famous again...

[@reninkpen5402]

I was feeling really suicidal back in March and then Owl City and Melanie Martinez announced the release of their new albums, after years of hiatus it felt like a sign to stay. I’m so glad I did, this is my favorite song on the album and now I listen to Coco Moon every time my mind is plagued with bad thoughts. 💜

My fave song from Coco Moon! It's so dreamy, magical, & full of wonder every time I listen to it ✨

[@CordellRadke]

I have been listening to this song on repeat and I don't know why. Something about the beat triggers something emotionally in me. It's very hard to find amazing feel good music these days and Owl City never disappoints me.

[@gertrudeterodeclaro1538]

After religiosly listening to this album i have to say,this hands down Adams best song. The instrumentals, story themes, atmosphere and wordplay is unlike anything ive heard before. Thank you Adam for this masterpiece, God bless you🙏

[@mitchellhasto3003]

This has such a vivid combination of childlike joy and soft bittersweetness

[@SwordmaidenGwen]

I'm going through the songs one at a time, and so far it feels like this album is a collection of pieces of Adam's experiences, a first job that gave him the stability to pursue what he wanted in Adam, Check Please. Here, he shares the wonder of realising that he wanted to be a part of the showbiz world. Despite seeing that, while the people on the stage are amazing, they're humans with struggles too. Instead of wanting to only see the "girl on the flying trapeze", the actor on the stage, he wanted to find her the person behind the act. Realising that that real person behind the act isn't for the audience to find is saddening, but it also made him realise his own dream to be that person, doing his best for the audience, to be the one who fills others with wonder and life. That's just how it reads to me xD That or he just really liked The Greatest Showman xp

[@sleepywatcher3528]
