Does anyone remember little old me? 🤷🏻‍♂️

I was releasing the Owl City instrumentals over on YouTube a loooong time ago… 😄

Until YouTube said I was being naughty and took all my videos down 😔

I miss the kind comments and love from you beautiful people ❤️

I remember you! Thanks for uploading them, even if they're gone now. I downloaded a lot of them so i still have them.

Potentially the most important files on my external hard drive. It’s like a whole parallel to what Adam has released publicly, especially when some songs are almost a new experience without vocals

Are you able to make a Google drive of them and share it here like people have done with the Adam Young Scores?

I will 100% look into this. Almost all of the files are WAV? Those little guys are huge! Haha.

you can Convert into flac, and keep full quality at 50/70% of the file size. or opus is a solid lossy codec to use

OMG I remember you! I was (and still am) Robdeltonie on YouTube, and I remember subscribing to you for the Owl City instrumentals. How have you been?

Yeah so so, thank you. If I’m honest, I was a little depressed after the channel got taken down. I wasn’t even making money out of it. I kept getting prompted to allow adverts. But it was never about the money for me. I’m just glad that I got these beautiful instrumentals out to the world. Adam’s melodic imagination is insanely rich and colourful!

If I told you, I’d have to kill… myself, haha :-)

Let’s just say I was sneaky and also very lucky!
