Owl City is my favorite band. It is project by a guy named Adam Young, and rather than having a real band, Adam mixes all his songs on his computer. However, when he performs live he brings live musicians rather than just his computer full of mixes. Owl City has always been an inspiration to me ever since I found out about the band a little over a year ago.
Although the project has been around since 2007, I didn't discover it until 2009, a little before it got big with his single "Fireflies." Its the only song by him that I've heard on the radio, however, others of his songs I find to be equally amazing. I have since seen him live and have bought all his Owl City CD's. Me saying that I actually have a favorite band is a thing in itself, considering I love so much music. But Owl City definitely is my favorite because he is just so uplifting and cheerful.
I'm not sure if you noticed, but this Adam Young is the same Adam Young I often quote in these blogs. He is just one of the most inspiring people I have ever had the honor of reading and listening to his work. He is such and optimist, and his music definitely portrays that. Although I often time don't understand his lyrics because they are so abstract, it is impossible not to smile while listening to his music. It is so unique. It isn't necessarily pop, electric, or techno, but rather a sort of mix of them all with lots of happiness thrown in. This music makes me better appreciate the power of music and how it can completely change your mood around. Owl City can always cheer me up, and Adam Young always provides the challenge for me to be more optimistic. In the midst of all the stress from college life, Adam is an inspiration and reminds me with his music and blogs to look at the brighter side of all situations.
