Biography

Owl City is an American electronic music project created in 2007 in Owatonna, Minnesota. It is one of several projects by singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Adam Young, who created the project while experimenting with music in his parents' basement. Owl City developed a following on the social networking site Myspace, like many musicians who achieved success in the late 2000s, before signing with Universal Republic Records, now Republic Records, in 2008. After two independent releases, his debut EP Of June (2007) and debut studio album Maybe I'm Dreaming (2008), Owl City gained mainstream popularity with its 2009 major-label debut and second studio album, Ocean Eyes, which includes the Diamond certified single "Fireflies". The album was certified 2× Platinum in the United States, with "Fireflies" being certified Diamond in January 2023. In June 2011, Owl City released its third studio album, All Things Bright and Beautiful, which was followed by The Midsummer Station in August 2012. He released his fifth studio album and last under Republic Records, Mobile Orchestra in July 2015. He released his sixth and seventh studio album Cinematic (2018) and Coco Moon (2023), independently. Owl City has recorded songs for several animated films, including Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole, Wreck-It Ralph, The Croods and The Smurfs 2. Owl City also has released several charting singles, most notably the Carly Rae Jepsen duet "Good Time" and "Fireflies".

LYRICS

A spot soaring down through the pouring rain
And restoring life to the lighthouse
A slow motion wave on the ocean stirs
My emotion up like a raincloud
When did the sky turned black?
And when will the light come back?!

A cab driver turned to skydiver,
Then to survivor, die into breakdown
A blood brother & surrogate mother
Hugging each other, crying their eyes out

When did the sky turn black?
And when will the light come back?!
I'm ecstatic like a drug addict locked in the attic
Strung out and spellbound

I fought all through the night
Oh, oh, but I made it alive
The sun stormed arrives
Oh, oh, these are beautiful times
This part of my life is so hard, so hard, so hard,
But I'm gonna survive!
Oh, oh, these are beautiful times!

A bad feeling burns through the ceiling
Leaving my healing hard with a new scar
A dead fire rose and rose higher
Like a vampire up from the graveyard

When did the sky turn black?
And when will the light come back?!
We all suffer but we recover
Just to discover life where we all are

I fought all through the night
Oh, oh, but I made it alive
The sun stormed arrives
Oh, oh, these are beautiful times
This part of my life is so hard, so hard, so hard,
But I'm gonna survive!
Oh, oh, these are beautiful times!!

This part of my life is so hard, so hard, so hard
But I'm gonna survive
Oh, oh, these are beautiful times!!

My heart's burning bad and it's turning black
But I'm learning how to be stronger
And sincerely I love you dearly
Oh, but I'm clearly destined to wander
