YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE YOUR EYES
Owl City has always been a shitty, pussified, boring rip off of The Postal Service
i liked the music video as a kid
>>73499284
You forgot 'autistic'. The guy's definitely on the spectrum judging by his interviews.
>>73499417
Someone post that letter he wrote for Taylor Swift.
>>73499461
bump
>>73499461
Alligator Sky is a fucking jam though. That and the rest of the album it's on.

>One blustery evening last October, I waited impatiently until the clock tolled midnight and then promptly bought Taylor Swift’s new record on iTunes. I played it in the kitchen, I played it in the car, I played it at the studio, I played it on flights to Japan and back; I just couldn’t keep away from it. Speak Now was the indisputable leader of my “top 5” record list of 2010, which is slightly ironic because the other four albums were abstract experimental/post-rock/ambient works.
>I always love decoding the sneaky secret messages hidden in Taylor’s written lyrics, so naturally the day Speak Now came out, I played the whole thing from top to bottom as I added up the capital letters per each song’s set of lyrics.
>As track 8 came to a close and the album switched over to track 9 (a breathtaking song called Enchanted and one of my favorites on the entire record), something began to feel curiously “familiar.”
>I couldn’t put my finger on it. Why did the song feel so personal? Why was it ringing a bell? Perhaps it was merely the word “wonderstruck” that indeed struck a sweet chord, but before the second chorus hit, I’d already added up the letters:

>reddit tho
But still, I actually really like the song, it's nostalgic if anything.
>>73500063
She completely ignored him after this too, like what the fuck. A letter like that at least earns you a BJ
>>73500231
(cont)
>A-D-A
>And then it hit me like a freight train. I didn’t even need to find that last letter “M.” A colorful swirl of memories flashed before my eyes as it all added up. My jaw hit the floor.
>The track is absolutely gorgeous and I’m so tremendously honored that Taylor would write such an elegant song and thereby offer a gracious nod in my direction. Needless to say, I was lost for words and utterly smitten. I couldn’t stop smiling.
>I figured such an eloquent gesture should be reciprocated by the most polite, heartfelt and respectful response I could possibly muster. It’s no secret that I’m a bit shy, so naturally music was the most articulate way of attempting such a sincere endeavor. How does one respond to such a personal outpouring of emotion and sentiment? I tossed and turned over that one.
>They say “timing is everything” and that brings us to now. Today is Valentine’s Day.
>And thus, here is my reply…

cover art looks like a trance single

Unironically love both artists. Postal Service got me into Dntel and glitch, and Owl City got me into post rock (he's got a post rock side project called Windsor Airlift).
>>73500116
Same. Had Ocean Eyes in 4th grade. Know every song on it. His music is incredibly nostalgic.

Y'all aren't even posting the best Owl City song:

>>73500621
glad you agree The Saltwater Room is the best Owl City song
>>73500587
whoa. how did you know? this is top 5 best owl citys for sure. did not expect to see it. also west coast friendship.
>>73500656
Just a long time fan. Hope he gets back to the more personal and dreamy style he had, cause I'm still not warming up to his newer music - the Adam Young scores project was awesome though
>>73500587

>>73500656
I like the Ocean Eyes version of Saltwater Room slightly better. The baseline thingy is more pronounced on Ocean Eyes/
>>73501148
Always liked the Maybe I'm Dreaming version better. The guitar line is less compressed, more honest sounding. Plus it's longer.
>>73501356
It does sound less processed. I guess I like my Owl City more digitized.
>>73501375
That's fair desu. What do you think of his recent work (last two albums)?
>>73501437
The last one I listened to fully was the one with Alligator Sky. That one is good, but I tried the next one and didn't like it.
I did like the song "Tokyo" though, and the song "Up All Night".
>>73500436
id unironically think this is a good song if it werent for the singers voice
>>73501493
Ultraviolet EP is flawless.
>>73501623
Yeah, I should listen to the other couple songs. I found "Up All Night" in a mis-labeled torrent for one of his full albums.

Men are gross.
>>73501841
Vaginas are the most disgusting part of any human body.
bad meme
>>73502707
That song would have been forgettable garbage had it not been for the meme though. One annoying hook and outdated chill wave imitation everything else.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feA64wXhbjo
Actually loved this song forever and now that it's a meme I can't listen to it anymore without some faggot saying "LOL IS THAT THAT ONE SONG FROM THE MEME?"
>>73499212
Quality song though.
