My sister and I on most occasions do not agree on the same music. I tend to focus on my eccentric rock playlist and her on her diverse list of modern top 100 songs. Yet, sometimes, when the planets align we latch onto a similar song. This morning she told me to check out “Fireflies,” by Owl City, telling me that she thought it was cool, a little techno, and something I might enjoy. Generally this equation leads to me listening and forgetting, but after one listen to the song a few minutes ago, I am pleasured to say that I am rather hooked. The song is pretty cool and I can imagine it being a fast riser on the charts where it sits at #94 right now.
Adam Young
Owl City is actually the chosen name of lead everything Adam Young whose main musical aspirations were a cure for his insomnia. He started making
music in his parents basement and his odd mix of electronic rock, new wave, and pop was born. The music is quite dreamy and atmospheric and the cause for this is Young’s synth. I am usually not a fan of these type of songs but for some reason this one latched on tight.
- The Album it is on
The chorus and creative video (where toys come to life in a scene like a twisted Toy Story) were most likely a cause for this. Well, I will let you guys decide for yourself, and you can see if it has a similar effect. Enjoy!
