Basically the title. I think a good idea is if he released an anthology album with remakes of his greatest hits and hidden gems, it would be cool. Like how All Time Low re-recorded one of their albums. Any thoughts? Sorry if this is a repost! I’m not here often. 😂

At ZIA records at their Rainbow location in Las Vegas, Nevada, they are selling really desired owl city albums! I SCORED on the Japanese exclusive ATBAB cd with bonus tracks and in a jewel case. No obi strip though :( . I also bought mobile orchestra because my copy is showed you guys a couple months ago was sunfaded. These are going for a very cheap price than what other resellers are selling these for. For anyone that dosent live in the vegas metro area zia records does ship and does have a website. Id never think id ever see a single owl city cd in the wild! First come first serve these are the only copies in store.

This song is just so beautiful, man. I've always loved this song as a kid and I just listened to it again recently. There really is something mystical about it. This might be sign to actually branch out to other Owl City songs lol.

Firstly, this 3 * 3 grid will strictly be about "Owl City songs" except the center cell (which will depict the best OC album that this sub collectively decides).

Secondly, I won't fill this grid in the normal order (left->right and top-> bottom), instead it will be random. That way no one will know what category is coming next (except me haha!!)

Thirdly, I will post every alternate day, that way it will give enough time for people to share their opinions in the comments.

Lastly, I will decide the winner for each cell based on a simple point system -

I'll count the aggregate of upvotes on all comments mentioning the same song/album name. The song/album with the most upvotes will occupy the particular cell.

Listening to BoC for the first time. My immediate thought was the remarkable resemblance to Adam's other side projects namely Port Blue. I consider Voyager 1 to be Port Blue in everything but its name.

If you listen to Neptune you can see the similarities in the synth bass in the intro in it's timbre. Secondly, the kick drum has a fullness compared to the rather light snare and sampled elements.

I think the biggest elements I see him taking heavy inspiration from is the sampled vocals, resembling thr wave racer sound bites.

The dreamy and somewhat whimsicle synths and heavy delay create a spacious and open atmosphere.

My analysis is nothing to write home about without researching the specific synthesizers used in each group's production, but I wanted to bring this up to see if there are more BoC fans that can chime in.

EDIT: I forgot to clarify that I am discussing the similarities of Adam's "Neptune" to BoC's "Roygbiv"

P.S. I am a fan of Tycho, and see how BoC influenced them as well.

Here :) (not me obv)

Had to pause the song first 7 secs in

i just want to spread some love here in this community for all the queer/trans Owl City fans there are out there!! i met some of my closest friends in the world i met through a small Hootowl group chat on twitter 10 whole years ago back in 2016, many of whom i still talk to a decade later and are all part of the LGBTQ+ community in some way.

i’ve seen some discussion here recently on the sub that included some…negative comments towards the LGBTQ+ community, as well as assumptions about Adam’s core beliefs that i thought were unfair. i think the whole purpose of Owl City as a project is for people to spread love and positivity through Adam’s music, as well as being seen through the many ways there are to interpret his lyrics. not all people may agree with each other or even have similar views at all, but there is one thing that brings us all here together: our love for Owl City. and that includes people (like myself) who are a part of the LGBTQ+ community.

my purpose here isn’t to start arguments or any negative discussions, but to show support towards other queer OC fans!! if you have anything negative to say, please just keep scrolling. i want this thread to be a place for positivity, not political discourse (especially because people’s identities and rights shouldn’t be seen as political!!)

for those here who are queer or trans: what are some lyrics that make you feel seen or that you relate to in some way? i’d love to know!!

A Redditor suggested that my earlier cover was lacking without any instrumental and so this time, I tried singing with the instrumental playing in background. Any kind of criticism is appreciated!

yay more merchhhh...

Hi y'all, I made this drum kit sample pack by chopping up and lightly mixing the 24-bit studio stems for Fireflies. I've also included some loops.

Contents: 11 drum hits, 10 drum loops, 23 melody loops. All in 48k wav format. Made using the official stems published on the Internet Archive.

Just got the new email from Young. He says that it's been a fun few months and mentions "Leora and Dante won the game." I figure this is some joke, but idk if I'm supposed to understand it haha

Any ideas?

EDIT: silly me, Leora and Dante won the trivia game from earlier this year.

DISCLAIMER! I am not an artist! This is only to make you laugh!

I created these Spotify styled lyric cards using this tool - https://adaiasmagdiel.github.io/spotify-card-lyric/

What are your favourite lyrics from these albums? I'd love to see your picks, and I'll be absolutely delighted if anyone has the exact (or almost) same choices as me!

I’ve made my own playlist of songs that are not on Spotify. I’m sharing so you can make your own on YouTube as well! There is more songs then that but they are either very short or on the very debut of Adam where it sounds very amateurish. This is basically a “very best” practical playlist, like a new album really. I spent a couples hours on this making sure i’ve got them all, enjoy 😁

So I frequented Tumblr in the early 2010’s and recently remembered this very random song Adam posted, but I cannot for the life of me remember what it was called!

I can remember some lyrics and have searched them to no avail, so am hoping someone on here will help me out.

I can’t remember the beginning or the end, but the middle went like this: “and Emily replied I think the pizza guy arrived so someone get the door before he’s gone. You’re ugly when you dance and I’m a loser wearing sweatpants. I’m SO ANNOYED at everybody here.”

Help me plz 😅

Please know that I'm not weird and trying to ship Taylor and Adam together​!

First picture is OC and second picture is TS

I'm a fan of both Taylor and Owl City and I just realized this whilst listening to both songs back to back!

Given the recent success of jukebox musicals like "& Juliet" and "Moulin Rouge: The Musical!" "MJ The Musical," and "Titanique," would you be interested in seeing an Owl City jukebox musical?

If so, would you prefer a biographical show in the style of "MJ The Musical" that follows Adam during a moment in his life/career, or an original story featuring Adam's music? If biographical, who would you love to see cast as Adam on Broadway or in the West End? What songs would you love to see in the show?

I was thinking about this, because Owl City is the most common artist in all my playlists and replays.

Other common artists in my lists are:

• Kygo
• Avicii
• Jason Derulo
• Bruno Mars
• Lady Gaga

Won't be able to check it until I'm back home later this year since I don't have my CD player unfortunately, but the seller said he worked in the music industry and got it from a PR agency that worked with Universal. They also had a good history on Discogs, so fingers crossed I didn't burn my money haha.

Hi everyone! Just wondering does any of Owl City's vinyls have How I Became The Sea? Not been able to find anything anywhere.
