-has always been dreamy, comforting, encourages imagination and wonder and grabbing onto innocencen, when you hear his lyrics you imagine the great nature, you feel like theres a breath of fresh air you needed, his sounds are light and innocent, did he say he liked contrasting sad lyrics to happy melodies? stromae definietly said that, what i like about artists like this is the way you can clearly feel how they work with sound and overlay them etc i don't know much about mysic , I think it is geniys, making a melody people can remenber , and for that reason I also find owl city's side project port blue and others very emootionally engaging, some of them are more like sound art like at anchor or sunset, where you feel the atmosphere ocmpletely, its very immersive just like dioramas and iflms,
but to put ;yrics on top, wow, that is just art, and owl city is one of the few artsist out there today (also aurora who I discovered recently ) that has this pure energy flowng throigh it, ... I might be biased because I grew up listening to owl city and reslly relying on his music to bring comfort, poetic lyrics ar re really comforyting bevcause they are beutiful and bring about beautiful imageyr, and he frequesntly uses contrasts in lyrics, like in hospotal flowers, even his name, which is actually a project name, and his real name is adam young (truly, he is a child at heart in the best way, whcih I hope I will be, but living on this planet makes you feel like your maturity has to be forced andall innocence is gone from all this contamination) the contrast of owl m and city , to me gives a calm image in the nighttime, like a quiet owl in the corner justy observing. you don't really imagine an owl in the daytime when you think of it, i suppose its all psrt of that 'constructed natrue; thing again =, anyway some lyrics:
i was thinking when i was writing my mcp, is it 'wrong \ to use nature as such a dreamy thing, I suppise it is only dresmy to us humans, animals and plants just grow and survive and live and die in a cycle,.. us humans have rich imagination to romnanticise something - google remantisastation
