Music

Well after all the depressing post I have written in the last few days I want to pen down some happy thoughts...

Well I would like to talk about the music I am listening to now a days...

"Owl City" is the latest band I am listening to now a days and I love their music and mixing. Just in love with the music, voice and the lyrics of most of their songs...

Just a short background on them:-

Owl City is an American synthpop musical project. It consists of Adam Young and his backing band. The name comes from Adam's hometown Owatonna, Minnesota. Young started out making music in his parents' basement,which he claims is a result of his insomnia.

Well so much for the background...

Now to the crux of the matter...

I love their single " fireflies" Don't know why but I just love the music and the lyrics of that song...It seems to be favorite song now a days. I tend to listen to it at least 3-4 times everyday...

Thanks to groove shark, I have a play list of only their songs and the minute I am back in my dorm room the music is blasting full on on my earphones listening to them non stop...

Here is how the lyrics of the song go...


You would not believe your eyes,
If ten million fireflies,
Lit up the world
As I fell asleep.

'Cause they fill the open air,
And leave teardrops everywhere,
You think me rude,
But I would just stand and stare.

I'd like to make myself believe,
That planet Earth turns slowly,
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep,
'Cause everything is never as it seems...

'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs,
From ten thousand lightning bugs,
As they tried to teach me
How to dance.

A foxtrot above my head,
A sockhop beneath my bed,
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread. (Thread, thread)

I'd like to make myself believe,
That planet Earth turns slowly,
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep,
'Cause everything is never as it seems... (When I fall asleep)

Leave my door open just a crack. (Please take me away from here)
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac. (Please take me away from here)
Why do I tire of counting sheep? (Please take me away from here)
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep. (Please take me away from here)

To ten million fireflies,
I'm weird 'cause I hate good-byes,
I got misty eyes when they said "Farewell",

But I'll know where several are,
If my dreams get real bizarre,
Cuz I saved a few and I keep them in a jar.

I'd like to make myself believe,
That planet Earth turns slowly,
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep,
'Cause everything is never as it seems...

(When I fall asleep)

I'd like to make myself believe,
That planet Earth turns slowly,
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep,
'Cause everything is never as it seems...

(When I fall asleep)

I'd like to make myself believe,
That planet Earth turns slowly,
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep,
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams...
