The man behind Owl City is Adam Young. Adam Young comes from Owatonna Minnesota. Most of the music Adam Young writes is electronic and pop. When someone listens to his songs, it would make them smile or feel happy. There isn’t a part in his songs that would make you feel sad or horrible. Compared to other musicians, Owl City’s music is refreshing. His music does not sound mostly like the other music you would find on the radio these days. Adam Young’s music is relatively new compared to the artists of today. “I’d like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly its 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.” This part of the song is memorable to me because what the song is basically saying is he wishes the world would turn slowly so that he would remain asleep longer and not have to wake up. I like this part of the song because I would rather be asleep than awake for the most part of my life. According to Entertainment Weekly, Adam Young’s music is daydreaming ready. I agree on what Entertainment Weekly said because the songs that he writes make you think and at the same time go into a daydream kind of state of mind. Billboard.com states that Adam Young’s album Ocean Eyes hit the number two spot on the electronic albums. I agree with what Billboard classifies Owl City’s album as because most of the music he writes sounds electronic. Owl City is a good listen, and if you want to listen to some feel good music, Owl City is a good band for you.
