Who sings fireflies by owl city?
Fireflies lyrics:
You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
Cause they'd fill the open air
And leave tear drops everywhere
You'd think me rude but I would just stand and stare
Chorus:
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Cause everything is never as it seems
Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
A sock-hop beneath my bed
The disco ball is just hanging by a thread
(Thread, thread, thread...)
Chorus:
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Cause everything is never as it seems
(When I fall asleep)
Leave my door open just a crack
(Please take me away from here)
Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(Please take me away from here)
Why do I tire of counting sheep
(Please take me away from here)
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep?
To ten million fireflies
I'm weird cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
(They said farewell)
But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar
(Jar, jar, jar...)
Chorus:
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns, slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Cause everything is never as it seems
(When I fall asleep)
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns, slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams.

How did owl city become popular?
Adam Young (Owl City) first started making music as a result of his insomnia.
Because he had insomnia (an illness where you can't get to sleep at night) , he'd go down to his parent's basement every night and work with one keyboard and one computer.
Eventually, he began uploading these songs he made onto his Myspace account and he was a big hit.
He then became noticed by a record label and in 2007, he released his first album, Maybe I'm Dreaming. In 2008, he released his second album, Of June and in the last few months of 2009 this third album Ocean Eyes was released.
He is adorable! I love him! And he is such a good musician! him: http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/users16/xxdearmiaxx/default/adam-young--large-msg-125408809977.jpg
What is the metaphor in hot air balloon by owl city?
Hot Air Balloon is just a cute little song about Adam and a girl building/taking a ride in a hot air balloon. I don't think there is any deep meaning behind the song, it's just for fun :)
On his album "Ocean Eyes," in the "thank you" section, he thanks Jesus Christ, "to who I owe everything."
Adam young is a christian, he incorporates a large amount of his faith in his music, usually in a subtle way. His faith is shown strongly in his song "Tidal Wave"
Why does Adam young call himself owl city?
This is what his blog says
After high school I moved to Minneapolis and spent the dead of winter in Minnesota working the graveyard shift at UPS. By default, everyone hated me and I hated being there so I moved home, got another dead end job and wasted a semester and a half at Riverland Community College thinking I could make something of myself (it wasn't a waste because the college was "bad" but because I couldn't make myself do the work and eventually got myself onto the academic probation list and thrown out). This is when I started producing music. How it all ended up working out, I'll never know.
Mid-semester I read a short story by Ambrose Bierce for one of my required english courses, a story called "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" that had a profound effect on me. It wasn't until later that I discovered the 1962 French film adaptation that ended up changing my general outlook, my frame of mind, my point of perspective, and my entire life from that moment on. It was a hammer between the eyes and I remember driving my white beat-up 92′ Caravan to work at Coke with tears in my eyes because of the ironic and obvious spiritual comparisons between my life and the impact of the story.
Read it for yourself or watch the film if you wish to draw your own conclusions. I find both totally inspiring and incredibly powerful. The film is one of the most beautiful pieces of cinema I've ever seen.
People tend to ask me "why Owl City?" and it's not the kind of answer I can explain in thirty seconds during a loud meet-and-greet while the opener is soundchecking in the same room two people are trying to converse in. Even if you and I had half an hour and a quiet coffee shop, it's not that simple.
Make of it what you will. After reading the story or watching the film, I always walk away feeling like I've gotta start living… an emotion I believe we all need to feel more often than we do.
Each time I think about it, the character in the story is me… and all I have left is a little bit of time.
That's why Owl City.
Owl City is actually just Adam Young, and no, Adam Young is not a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called "Mormons"), but he has stated that he is a Christian.
No. Adam Young is not a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called "Mormons"). He has said that he is a Christian. Mormons ARE christians, but he has more specifically said that he is a southern baptist. :edit: Just to clarify, Mormons do believe in the same God as stated in the bible, so they are Christian.
Answer to :edit: Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints read and accept the King James Version of the Bible as inspired scripture. They believe in Jesus Christ as the Son of God as recorded in the King James Bible. Many Christian churches vary in several doctrines. Those differences do not disqualify them from being Christian, as long as they accept Jesus Christ as Savior for all God's children, and strive to follow His teachings.
Does Adam young have aspergers?
Actually in an interview, he claimed to have Asperger Syndrome which is a mild form of autism. That's why on stage he moves strangely, why he is socially awkward, and makes music all of the time.
As a guy with mild Aspergers syndrome, I'll have you know that it is, in fact, a form of Autism. (Can you tell I have it? No. Am I functional? Yes. Am I capable of being a member of this website? Yes.) I have it easy, but there are many people who have much worse than me. People who if you stare at them for a certain amount of time, will throw fits and tantrums. Before you answer flag and comment on another question, I'd highly suggest that you get your facts straight.
