Stand on up and take a bow
There is something there and it's showing

Don't mind me.. just listening to Owl City, the greatest music artist of all time (no competition) who makes stunningly stellar music with his amazingly beautiful voice-which for some reason makes me think of my girlfriend-, creating extreme nostalgia while immediately brightening the day of anyone who listens.

Weston Hewlett

So true I agree with everything here

bob pip

I have been a HUGE Owl City/Adam Young fan for years now, and it is AWESOME to hear his beautiful works of art represented more widely, and receiving more of the credit and awe they deserve!

MikeORiley1

Throw in some Owl City performance footage and this could easily pass as the official video, INCREDIBLE work!
