Picture a boy in Minnesota plagued with insomnia and equipped with a laptop.  Picture this boy making electronic music and adding his very own dreamy vocals.  That is Owl City, formed in early 2007 by Adam Young in Owatonna, Minnesota. Owl City’s latest release on new label Universal Republic is Ocean Eyes. A delicious collection of sweet uplifting songs that will make you swooooon.  This is the kind of music that will turn your entire day and mood around with just a listen.  Start with “Fireflies” and keep going.  Owl City has built quit a following through MySpace where initial songs and videos were released.  Owl City debuted at #27 in the Billboard 200 charts.  Now there’s video air time on Vh1 and MTV and also an appearance on the new 90210 soundtrack which features the song “Sunburn.”  Owl City is currently on tour.

  10. I can’t stand this song. It’s soooo annoying. I rather listen to somethings else to make me feel “uplifted.” Not sorry! lol

    • Don’t judge a book by its cover and dont judge people by how they look. If you hate owl city sooooo much why bother searching it on google or yahoo. No wait, why are you even posting comments on this site huh? Thats right, your JEALOUS you stupid piece of shit! I mean REALLY! WHY GO TO A WEBSITE FOR OWL CITY LOVERS, AND WASTE YOUR TIME MESSING UP YOUR LIFE?

    • i don’t like this song either. i totally agree with you! i think its annoying, and kinda “fruity”. is he gay? and i’m not judging a book by its cover because i’ve heard this song alot. and i’m on this website because my sister wanted to see what owl city was :)

  13. GREATT SONG VANILLA TWILIGHT!

  14. I actually love the music. It is calming, and clever. Quirky, but a great listen, and I’ve had Fireflies stuck in my head for the past three days. Love the song!

  15. I’m sorry if you disagree, but Fireflies is a stupid song.
    Owl City has so many better songs like
    the saltwater room, vanilla twilight, rainbow veins, etc.

    • I, myself, like Fireflies. However, I agree that The Saltwater Room and Rainbow Veins (as well as Hot Air Balloon and The Bird and the Worm) are much better representations of Adam Young’s talents.

  16. don’t like vanilla twilight!

  17. Ahh I love this song :) !<3 Owl City is the perfect band to make you calm down,relaxed and happy,I was smiling and happy in the car when I heard this song<3 And I had a huge migrane,but the song just made me forget about it!
