I loved "Meteor Shower," I just wish that it was longer than two minutes. +1 I didn't get the whole album before...avoided the more quirky ones (i.e. Dental Care, lol). I liked Sky Sailing's "Brielle" (single that I'm pretty sure did absolutely nothing) as well (for those who don't know, Sky Sailing was another Adam Young project that was more guitar, less electronic). Omg. Another Sky Sailing fan. I loved "Brielle." It was one of my favorite songs of the summer. Sky Sailing was basically just Adam Young unplugged, but it was still great.

I liked it quite a bit too--hit #38 on my year-end chart and would've been higher had I actually done charts every week (oops).

I hope there's more songs like this <3

Saw these guys play John Mayer's support in Houston last year. Nice show. Different.

Brielle was my favorite song from 2010, period! Everyone I played it for thought it was great. I can't believe that radio didn't touch it. (great video too btw). Also, Shooter, "If My Heart Was a House" is EPIC. Can't wait for new material!

Loved "Dental Care" -- not sure why you all be hatin'. Sure, the lyrics are a bit odd -- but so what? A little originality never hurt anyone -- and "Dental Care's" lyrics still top 90% of country songs.
Vanilla Twilight was the best song on that album though (still don't understand what exactly the video was aiming for though...)

Owl City's sound reminds me so much of Death Cab for Cutie's.

He did a response to Taylor's Enchanted!
Sample of the lyrics: Taylor, I'll spend my whole life wondering if you knew I was enchanted to meet you, too
I was never in love with someone else I never had somebody waiting on me 'Cause you were all of my dreams come true And I just wish you knew Taylor I was so in love with you.
:'( I love it!

I love his version of "Enchanted." It's not as good as Taylor's, but I didn't expect it to be.

This guy is terrible and I hope Taylor stays away. She's too good for him and his shitty electo-pop. #sry2say

I loved Ocean Eyes at first but it quickly became one of the worst albums I've ever heard. The songs just become so overwrought and grating. That being said I still like "Cave In" and "Umbrella Beach."

:( Album release pushed back to June 14th. Ninety-second previews of "Dreams Don't Turn To Dust," "Deer In The Headlights," and "Galaxies" are up, though: owlcitymusic.com/atbabThere's also a song available for free (that's not on the album) with the Owl City Galaxy iPod/iPhone app (also free) called "Lonely Lullaby," about Adam's ex Annmarie (love it!): www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TN9rGRsv_8

Must be cause of the lyrics: Chorus: Dear God, I was terribly lost, When the galaxies crossed, And the Sun went dark. Dear God, You're the only North Star, I would follow this far. and the final 2 sentences from the bridge: For He is the saving grace of the Galaxies! He is the saving grace of the Galaxies I seriously love the fact that he also puts out songs from his believe (if I said that correct) Catchy songs but definitely also with a layer of meaning

^ Yes! Oh, and I was mistaken, Galaxies is on Christian CHR, not AC. And it went Top 20 this week!

Taking a listen now. I really do love them. Hoping there is a distinguishing between their first effort and this
Within the first minute, I hear an amazing lyrics: "reality is a lovely place but I wouldn't wanna live there"
They are great song writers!
