When I was listening to this song from owl city's new album CINEMATIC, I come across 'Firebird'.
This album is an autobiographical one - highlights of his life.
"The title is 'Cinematic', because I believe life is like a movie. I believe life is full of magic, my life is like a movie, and so is yours,"
The chorus of 'Firebird' resonated with me as with many of his other songs:
Tell me why I look back and I wanna cry
Sometimes I feel like we grew up too fast
You and I had the time of our younger lives
Sometimes I sigh and think about the past
But it’s alright, 'cause everything changes
It just embodied exactly what I think of my childhood, a kind of happy-sad perspective. I am sad when I think back, but I am happy I am here now, and vice versa. It is a strange feeling, hard to place.
