Owl City Vanilla Twilight

owlcity2010pic In the state of Minnesota lies a small town called Owatonna with roughly twenty-two thousand inhabitants. Within that city is a quiet road with a modest house. In that house there’s an unkempt basement with no windows. Within those confines you’ll find Adam Young of Owl City hard at work on his electronic and melodically infectious music of simple and singular beauty. You may not know Adam by name, but you’ve heard his current smash hit “Fireflies” at least once over the last few months.

Now, it’s time to let you hear his follow-up single “Vanilla Twilight” from the “Ocean Eyes” project in an effort to prove that he’s no one hit basement wonder. As always feel free to post your music review in the comment box below this video and the songs lyrics.

Owl City – Vanilla Twilight:

the stars lean down to kiss you
and i lie awake and miss you
pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere
cuz ill doze off safe and soundly
but i’ll miss ur arms around me
i’d send a post card to you dear
cuz i wish you were here

i’ll watch the night turn light blue
but it’s not the same without you
because it takes two to whisper quietly
the silence isn’t so bad
till i look at my hands and feel sad
cuz the spaces between my fingers
are right where yours fit perfectly
i’ll find repose in new ways
though u haven’t slept in two days
cuz cold nostalgia chills me to the bone
but drenched in vanilla twilight
i’ll sit on the front porch all night
waist-deep in thought because when
i think of you i don’t feel so alone

i don’t feel so alone
i don’t feel so alone

as many time as i blink i’ll think of you

tonight

i’ll think of you tonight

when violet eyes get brighter
and heavy wings grow lighter
i’ll taste the sky and feel alive again
and i’ll forget the world that i knew
but i swear i won’t forget you
oh if my voice could reach back through the past
i’d whisper in your ear
oh darling i wish you were here
