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.

Where do owls live in the city?
Owls have many different habitats, depending on the species. Some live in tree holes and trunks, others in farms and bushes, some in forests. It really depends what owl you're looking for.
Is there any repetition in fireflies by owl city?
It really depends on what form of repetition you mean. The chorus is repeated multiple times throughout the song, but if you mean vocal repetition, (single words or phrases repeated consecutively) then no. Although there is a slight echo at the end of some verses. However, in the Fireflies Remix (on the Ocean Eyes Deluxe Version album) there is much vocal repetition.

The inside of the Ocean Eyes CD booklet says:

Vocals on The Saltwater Room & On the Wing by Breanne Duren
The Maybe I'm Dreaming CD booklet says "Additional vocals by Breanne Duren and Austin Tofte".

dental care is complete care of the oral cavity (the mouth). dental care is more than the teeth it is making sure the Gums in your mouth are strong and still doing their job by bocking bacteria from getting into your blood stream and the teeth should be strong with enamel with no erosion or bacterial infections (cavities) and overall plaque should be cleaned out and reduced to prevect bacterial infections. plaque leads infection. its a thick coat of bacteria collecting on the tooth and eventually starts to eat into teeth and into the gums without it being controlled it can eventually eat into the gums and teeth and get into your blood and immediately begin flowing to your heart and cause heart complications. this is the importance of dental care. sometimes it is looked away from but without dental check ups you are only hurting yourself more and setting your self up to very more serious matters. if a dentist (such as myself) catches a small cavity and fills it: its not such a big deal. But if you ignore it and let the cavity keep eating into your tooth and eventually hit your blood line and affect your heart then you have caused yourself a major problem that could of all been avoided in a 30minute filling. So yes dental care is a very important feature to your over all health and should be looked into every 6 months.
