Owl City

There seem to be multiple interpretations of this song, but personally, I think of it as a song about growing up. It speaks of that awkward stage where a person is no longer a child, but is not quite an adult. There is a great deal of nostalgia in the song. The lyrics speak of wanting to slow time down and not wanting to let go of the things that bind the singer to his childhood--shown in the keeping of fireflies in a jar. Yet there is hope in the future - in "dreams [that] are bursting at the seams."

No. Adam Young went to public schools. He went to Owatonna Senior High School.

Adam Young has been inspired by many different people and things, but he claims his biggest inspiration is God.

"Fireflies" by Owl City does not have a specific moral purpose. However, it is commonly interpreted as a reminiscence of his childhood.

I gotta feeling...

That tonight's gonna be a good night

That tonight's gonna be a good night

That tonight's gonna be a good, good night

A feeling... Woohoo

That tonight's gonna be a good night

That tonight's gonna be a good night

That tonight's gonna be a good, good night

Tonight's the night,

Let's live it up

I got my money,

Let's spend it up

Go out and smash it

Like oh my God

Jump off that sofa,

Let's get, get off

I know that we'll have a ball

If we get down and go out and just lose it all

I feel stressed out, I wanna let it go

Let's go way out spaced out

And losing all control

(Chi CHi Chi)

Fill up my cup,

mazel tov

Look at her dancing,

Just take it off

Let's paint the town,

We'll shut it down

Let's burn the roof,

And then we'll do it again

Let's do it,

Let's do it,

Let's do it,

Let's do it

And do it and do it,

Let's live it up

And do it and do it

And do it, do it, do it

Let's do it, let's do it,

Let's do it

'Cause I gotta feeling, woohoo,

That tonight's gonna be a good night

That tonight's gonna be a good night

That tonight's gonna be a good, good night

A feeling, woohoo,

That tonight's gonna be a good night

That tonight's gonna be a good night

That tonight's gonna be a good, good night

I gotta a feeling

Tonight's the night

(Hey! )

Let's live it up

Well, first of all, not to be a grammer nazi, but it's "so many people", not "so much people".

To answer your question, I'm sure one of the main things is that it's a change from what is considered popular music these days. It's upbeat and soft, and Adam's voice is a quite unique one.

The overall tone, too, is one of silliness and not much sense. Most other songs have a specific point they are centered around, (usually relationships,) and are pretty straightforward, but Fireflies is about what seems, on the surface, to be a type of bug. Closer inspection reveals that it may have many different subject matters, depending on what you want to believe! The opportunity for opinions and metaphors is incredible.

Mainly, however, it all comes down to public mood. It is hard to calculate what type of song the majority of people will like, and believe me, record companies have been trying for years and years! To use some popular phrases with not much actual reasoning behind them, it's catchy, and it's easy to listen to.

I think that's the best I can answer your question.

Breanne Duren is the girl who sings with Adam Young (Owl City) in The Saltwater Room.

Yes, Adam was in a couple of other bands as a matter of fact. Owl City obviously being his most popular. The ones I know of are: Swimming with Dolphins(myspace.com/swimmingwithdolphins), Port Blue(http://www.myspace.com/portblue), Insect Airport(http://www.myspace.com/insectairport), Seagull Orchestra (http://www.myspace.com/seagullorchestra), and Windsor Airlift(http://www.myspace.com/windsorairlift). The last three of the bands mentioned (Insect Airport, Seagull Orchestra, and Windsor Airlift) are no longer making music from my understanding. Hope this helps! Also one of his past band names is sky sailing.

There is no one named mathew decker in the band owl city. Owl City is a solo singer that produces music in his parents basement. He released Of June in 2007 His name is Adam Young

The genre of the song Fireflies by Owl City is electronica.

Owl City doesn't perform at private events, but you could go to an Owl City concert for around 30-50 dollars per ticket. On the other hand if he were playing a venue it would be around 35,000 for the performance hiring price.

Owl City does not have an official email address. However, to contact him for business purposes, you may use the contact page on the Owl City Music or Adam Young Music site.

Owl City tours with many musicians.

With one of his newest concerts, he is touring with support acts Lights and Paper Route.

He has also been a support act for Cobra Starship and he may have had something to do with Relient K.

Adam Young of Owl Cuty has a severe case of insomnia and has gone over 38 hours without sleeping. Other than this, he is fine.

Young owls are called owlettes. An owlette can also just be a very small kind of owl.

The song is actually called Fireflies, and it is sung by Owl City aka Adam Young.

They have interviewed him about that, and he was on a camping trip, laying on the dock, a meteor shower was going on then, and he thought how cool it would be if the meteors were Fireflies, and to translate it into a song, he also thought about how much he DIDN'T sleep that night, and he translated it into "FireFlies," the 28th most popular downloaded song on iTunes EVER. Hope this helps!!

"Dental Care" is a fun, tongue-in-cheek song about smiling and going to the dentist.

Bot at this time, but he did have a girlfriend back in 2010 that moved to California. Also, he reportedly dated Breanne Duren a while back. If this is true, it didn't work out, but they are still on friendly terms.

You would not believe your eyes if 10 billion kangaroos came out of your closet and ate your food. They probably will eat you to, which means you'll be dead and gone. You will be missed, so you better watch out.

I'd like to make myself believe that planet Earth is smelly. I haven't taken a shower in about five weeks today. But it's okay, I still wear my cologne.

Cause I get a thousand hugs from both of my great grandmas. They are so nice they make me soup. A person beneath my feet. A creepy guy on my bed. A fork and knife hanging by a thread.

I'd like to make my self believe that planet Earth is smelly. I haven't taken a shower in about five weeks today. But it's okay, I still wear my cologne.

Keep that seat open all the way. Please buy me a rabbit. It makes my house more comfortable. Please buy me a rabbit. Why am I tired of eating eggs? Please buy me a rabbit. They're really yellow I think I'm dead.

T-ten billion kangaroos. They ate my entire house. It wasn't nice, they made fun of me. I started to run away. Kangaroos are not so nice. They look so cute, but you're just their prey.

I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth is weird. It's hard to say I'd rather eat a rat than brush my teeth, but they look cute I want one as a pet.

If you meant 'How was Adam Young's childhood' or 'What was it like?' then sadly, there isn't much information released to the public. However, he often refers fondly to his teen years and his family.

Nope! But according to his band mate's twitter, Breanne Duren (sings female vocals in 'The Saltwater Room'), Adam has a girlfriend named Ann. But they broke up and he wrote a song for her on his new album All Things Bright And Beautiful.

(Owl City fan since '08!)

shes not from owl city

yes she is. she's the girl who sings on saltwater room, and tours with Adam young as part of his live band. from owl city's wikipedia page: "Young is joined by Breanne Düren on several tracks; the most noted being "The Saltwater Room". Owl City's live band consists of Breanne Duren (background vocals/keyboards), Matthew Decker (drums), Laura Musten (violin), and Hannah Schroeder (cello)."

I'm not sure how old she is, but if I had to guess, I'd say around 24 - the same age as Adam Young.

she is 22.
