I love how throughout the video the people start disappearing from the room -- you know, going and painting, doing photography, writing on the blackboards-- doing what they want to do with their lives, until it's just Adam and Aloe Blacc in the room singing, because, that's what they did with their lives. That was their passion, how they touched the world. They didn't need to go anywhere because that's what "the rest of their lives" was all about.

Owl City must be one of the most underrated artists in music. His songs are so powerful, with meaningful lyrics and they really hype me up dancewise.

@mylifeed360

And I hope it stays this way because if his music comes out in the radio they would make him not only over rated but they would also kill the meaning to his songs

@Endp0ny0427

I still remember the last time i heard fireflies on the radio... that was the last of my childhood drifting off into a world of complete sh*t
