Owl City sort of gave me diabetes. Sorry mate.

 

You got off easy! They gave me cancer.

 

owl city, ar is a tiny township a few miles south of where I live!

 

HUGE OWL CITY FAN!!!

I don't know any in real life, so I almost never get to talk about it. I talk about Owl City less than I talk about classical. My favorite songs are "Cave In", "Butterfly Wings", "Galaxies", and "Super Honeymoon". Owl City is amazing (just ordered a T-shirt the other day actually). His music has a whimsical dream-like quality to it that I'm drawn to. No music can make me feel the way his music does; sometimes even classical doesn't compare in the feelings that it stirs for me. Unfortunately, I do think "The Midsummer Station" was a weak album and too pop-oriented, but I am still a big fan and will always be.

 

Ok, to be fair, I don't mind the music part of their music that much. I just can't stand their lyrics. They're way too syrupy sweet and it sounds like they just sat down and thought "hmm what's the cheesiest crap that we can put out that's going to make tweeny girls ginies tickle."(No offense, Tristan, just how it sounds to me).

"If I was a raindrop, would you be my thunderstorm?" Blech! And I can't stand the sound of that guys' voice either.

Sorry if I offended anyone.

It's not just Owl City though so I don't want to just puke all over them for this. There's a whole genre of new pop rock musicians that just write the cheesiest tweeny girl lyrics ever, like Secondhand Serenade or something like that? So this symptom is not unique to Owl City by any means.

 

lol, I understand the common criticism of Owl City's music. It's definitely not for everyone. But the thing is--that whimsical "cheesy" air to his older music is what I love. His latest album was full of generic "on the floor" dance-pop lyrics like "if you're down to get down tonight" (from "Good Time"; the other "big hit" song--not to be such a hipster, but still. There's a reason that song became a huge hit and isn't all that popular with long-time Owl City fans).

But yeah, his voice is definitely unique; you kind of either love it or hate it.

 

I am a fan of Owl City; the music of his is so sweet and refreshing when I am down it's Owl City all the way.

 

Don't worry, it would take a lot more than that to offend me, violadude.

. . . his voice is definitely unique; you kind of either love it or hate it.

I like his voice. He's in my range. Sort of.
He's like the non-classical equivalent of a countertenor. Then again, he can go pretty low in his register.

 

Anyone who's been a fan of Owl City as long as I have is going to recognize that his newest music simply isn't as good. It's all dance-pop, an overdone genre that occupies the Top 10 lists. His latest EP came out on July 30th and my thoughts are "meh".

 

NOPE :tiphat:
