Owl City is the newest band to hit the scene, and it has been a smash hit. All of the songs are adored and people love the dreamy quality of the music, Owl City is a pop "band". Owl City, also known as Adam Young, stays within the range of gentle feelings, you'll find no extremes in this music, but can invoke any feeling (sadness, happiness, loss, longing). Longing and sadness stand out in these lines of "Vanilla Twilight":
"The silence isn't so bad,
Till I look at my hands and feel sad,
'Cause the spaces between my fingers
Are right where yours fit perfectly"
Happiness and lost are the big emotions in his new song "Strawberry Avalanche":
"When we woke up buried alive beneath the fruity landslide we both laughed hysterically
It could've been just another dream, but I swear I heard you scream
A strawberry avalanche crashed over me"
It is hard to compare Owl City to current music makers today as they are a brand new type of music that most Americans haven't heard even though Owl City originated from Owatonna MN. So far all the reviews from critics have been positive, his music is well-liked. His second album was released in September and that album caused people to love Owl City even more. The singer says he was inspired by the European DJ's and things he saw in real life. Just listen to his music and those parts are obvious. All-in-all I like his songs and music style. The only complaint I have is his songs are very similar, all with quiet smooth melodies and whimsical lyrics. I think that in coming years that will be his biggest problem, the lack of change. You should definitely give it a listen, his songs talk about real life in a round-about fashion. It is worth the money.
