[GangsterDragon]

I'm a proud Owl City citizen. Because in Owl City, you have Rainbow Veins. Dreams Don't Turn to Dust, and you rise your head up to Alligator Sky to watch the Meteor Shower. You ride in a Hot Air Balloon, and greet the Sky Diver of Umbrella Beach. During the night, Fireflies flit about under the Vanilla Twilight sky. You should visit sometime. If you're lucky, you'll see the Strawberry Avalanche, far away from The Real World.

[CNIP2]

this is amazing

[64shugochara]

this one is soooooo much better than the one with the rap. why didnt they put this on the cd?

[REKCOR18]

@64shugochara because without the rap it sounds alot like fireflies

[sharkyadam1]

is better than the rap

[1lilalilo1]

I love that song and with the lyrics is better

[auroraionaa]

Whats he singing about? to me it sounds like nuclear war and space travel maybe?

[accountnameism547]

@auroraionaa

I believe his songs could have multiple meanings, it all depends on what you imagine it to be :)

[PearlsofLife3]

i don't really like the rap version, but oddly enough i still enjoy it. i never liked rap before thoguh....in fact i hated rap, but after hearing Alligator Sky the rap version i think it started growing on me and i started liking it. i first heard this version though, but i think i like both, i just like this one better, but the rap version one is the only rap song i will listen to, i love teh part:" Cause we've been lied to, that the sun is something we cant fly to" i love that line :)

[jennychienli108]

this song lights me up like a BIG firecracker :D

[Avakline]

Don't laugh at this Just do it

Start thinking something you really really want cause this is astounding the person that sent me this to me said their wish came true 10 mins after they read the mail so I thought what the heck you have just been visited by Dr Suess's cat in the hat he will grant you one wish when the countdown is over

10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

MAKE A WISH

Send this to 10 videos within the hour you read this

If you do your wish will come true

[Mistyleaf119]

Im getting sick of all these fricking rap stuff ruinning songs i cherish and love!! I feel like rapping a talking, with style! [No offense to those rap lovers out there..]

[CnJz96]

The rapper is good to though, he isn't vulgar and has a good voice... but Adam sound AWESOME either way :~D Love him! 

[JudgeCanary]

i think the rap is way better whats wrong with the rap anyway

[BEJAKI97]

RAP version is made only to try to make Shawn popular...

[caroline3tears1]

XD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cennetz24]

I love when Adam "plays" with his texts :D "purpel burst of paper birds" for example xD

[jeweles1996]

I love this soooo much more than the rap version <3

I mean, they cut all the good parts out in the rap ver. most of whats left is like the courus.... My favourite parts are whats in between there<3 Im not even that fond of the offical video :/

♪♪remember to breath cause itll take your breath away..♪♪

[kitz09d]

adam's voice is magic..b it da rap version or this one..

OWL CITY IS AWSUM!!

[sunnyblossoms]

I like it but the rap was better.

[cheesecakelover110]

This is way better. i mean, i liked the rap, but the "remember to" thing is pretty cool.

[palmerfan22]

I can't beleive Adam Young used to work in Coke trucks. I'm so glad that he helped revive synthpop.

[bryadillasaurus]

Owl City Is Awesomer Than You!!

[ILoveSharpay]

i fall asleep to this every night. idk , ..it gets my creativity juices flowing.

[cheesecakelover110]

@ILoveSharpay Ditto. :-)

[Eggiestone]

haha, funny, i was on my way to school and o thought about owl city and then other songs and i thought, other songs were stupid becuas the songs talk about sex and rudeness i just shook my head and said to my self the wit of the world thes days.

[HeAlether24]

do be honest I like both the rap, and the non-rap version becuase with both of them you have to "remember to breath, cause it'll take your breath away" ;)

[lavenderloser]

Ever wonder what an alligator sky is?

[KupcakeKittyDiamonds]

@lavenderloser could possibly be something to do with a gamma ray burst.. quick shut me up b4 i start talking nerdy. I'm writing a book and after a gamma ray burst hit the earth it made a cloud of and created a thingamabob of gas blocking out the sun.. and its sorta a greenish color. alligators r green. yay science XD and i write my book while listening to this song. coincidence...

[lunelilyonrunescape]

@lavenderloser It swallowed up his love. It's an alligator sky because it's full of danger and it took his love away from him.

[maddyfriend222]

@lunelilyonrunescape wow i love ur reason! very nice(:

[OMEGAConscript]

@lavenderloser Its just like saying "the sky is the limit", but used alligator sky to avoid cliches, and also to play with the listener's imagination..

[OMEGAConscript]

@lavenderloser but they used*

[TheMAKEProductions]

@lavenderloser it's your own world of imagination (i'm guessing)

[msheartbreaker200]

love this song :) :) :) <3 best song

[JordanPJames97]

I like the rap version better because it's a new element for Owl City and the whole song sounds better because of background vocals and such.

[zahin12345678]

<3 this song so so so much!

[blackbirdfly0128]

i have NO idea what an 'alligator sky' is, but i'm in love with this song!!!

[kewlgirl1099]

Love thiss <3

[darkshojogirl]

OMIGOD IT IS SOO MUCH BETTER WITHOUT THE RAP!!

cos i do actually like rap. Im have absolutely nothing against rap, but i reallllyyy like this version betterr!!!

[starbursts551]

i like it better without rap it sounds better and its easier to sing along with not everyone can rap!

[carnationInaction]

3 people have troubles hearing things. They can't differentiate an awesome song or those lame justin bieber songs. Fuck them!

[hellrocks1130]

I love the version with rap and the one with no rap <3 I can't love one without loving the other because it's Owl City. What's not to love?

[jena9956]

this is my first time hearing this song, and its AMAZING!!!!

[tiffanylewis97]

So much better than the rap version, this captures the beauty and passion he's been trying to express through all of his other peices. I think i'm in love. :)) <3

[TheHassen9]

this version is way better than the rap version.

[xRainheart]

Adam... ugh why'd you put rap in it :c This is wayyyyyyy better.

[nstev123]

oh yeh better than rap just by a little bit though

[mrbiboodibap]

i like this!!

[AbbyMooreLovesRice]

Does it make me a hater to say the inde rock/electronic/techno AWESOME music like Owl City gets ruined when mixed with rap? Because if it does then yes...I'm a hater. Rap ruins good music and it's a BAD idea trying to mix to TOTALLY different genres of music (:

[shrimpp123]

I never heard of this song before. I really like this version better than the rap version. The guy I kinda like told me that this song reminded him of me. Is that good? <3

[MellyJadeLovesPonies]

3 people have shitty taste in music

[LaverlyLove]

I like it without Shawn rapping, it's wayyy better :)

[cheereos]

my god this is such a good song, really deep lyrics. thankfully there's a non-rap version, rap is lame. stupid hip hoppers ruin good music

[89celena]

@cheereos i agrre about hip hop but rap is good in song songs especially this song. stop hatin!

[raviq11]

but quality is low

[WindwardRailway]

Much better :D

[OpieJ1]

better then rap version lol sorry but i hate rap

[11PLSoccer]

Why Alligator Sky?

[DestinyAwaits530]

i love this version a lot more than the rap. the rap is okay, but this is great. i like the lyrics that take over the rap part. "dip your toes in the galaxy, cuz it's yours to explore tonight." <3

[musicspeaks2001]

wow. owl city makes some great catchy music along with another christian band called Red Letter Hymnal. They both have great music on youtube and itunes for that matter

[anandodasgupta]

where is the bass ?? omfg bass boost required.

[skynat247]

These two give two diff feels. the rap one gives the feel of a lost earth, something happened and its gone [mabye no more air?] forever. it gives a feeling that owl city lost something, like a girl or his family in the chaos. this one makes it seem like he is just a child floating away into space without a care, asking an aquaintence where he was when it all began? as if he knew this person well, and was having a conversation with him/her in space about it. because they didnt know.

[happyfanfeet]

woa, this is not the usual owl city, I like it!

[officerchocoholic97]

@whyamisexc11 So true! :DD

[Fueledbypufferfish]

Though this song is really good, it has come to my attention that he uses the same mellow beat in the background D;

[AlwayZash]

this song made me fall in love with owlcity all over again <3

[MrDanielally]

this is beter than the rap version

[Mrsbabyblue2009]

lovely music when driving a car with open windows, on a warm, sunny day...

[xxAlicexxHannxx]

After the 10th play in a row, my Mum came in and took my speakers and told me to stop singing :(

[skullily]

i think both of the versions were pretty good ^^

[officerchocoholic97]

Way better than rap version. [:

[whyamisexc11]

@officerchocoholic97 the rap one made me soo depressed

[whyamisexc11]

@officerchocoholic97 the rap one made me soo depressed then i found the one without the rap :DD

[superpen7]

@officerchocoholic97 ya the rap is a mood killer 

[x3DearPacificDayx3]

my gosh I love owl city (: I love making paper animation videos to his songs, my latest one was rainbow veins but I'd like to do this song soon too!

[KatieBreit]

3 people got carried to the alligator sky and didnt listen to Adams instructions

[dinosaurrawr89]

oh my god, I like this one so much better. Why'd they have to put a rapper in it in the first place -___- I mean really. It's Owl City.

[Squall3246]

do you have the copyrights of this song or did you edit this song

[Hazecreeds]

@Squall3246 This song belongs to Adam too ^^ he made 3 versions first with shawn second with B.o.B and this one but the main song is with shawn

[Squall3246]

@Hazecreeds ugh thanks... i want to make lyrics video but i always get copyrights stuff

[emmathefantastic]

SOOOO much better without the rap<3 <3 <3

[AlwayZash]

lol this is sooo awesome! much better then the other one. but i think its cool that he tried somthing new... :) the rapping one wasnt so bad, but i like how he made 2 so you can decide for yourself.

[DarcyLovesYouu1]

Owl City is always better off without a bullshit rapper <3

[neopets915]

Better then the rap,milky way :D tasty!

[neopets915]

@COHaven16 very true

[COHaven16]

this song should have been in Wall-E

[XoXaNNyaXoX]

i thought the one with the rap was good and then i heard this :)

[graylot]

his lyrics are or wrong -,-

[35Favorites]

Way better than the one with rap. Why does everyone need a rap segment on their songs these days!!!?

[dpolaristar]

@35Favorites Linkin park makes it work!

[OrigamiGuardian]

@35Favorites you are completely right

[musicman141995]

I LOVE OC!!!!!

[28purplenurple]

So glad they have this version cuz in the other version the rap totally runied Adam's BEAUTIFUL voice! :3 <3

[xxshadowloverxx12]

Adam young is my favorite!

[Lilly5739]

I like this version much better! I guess I'm in the minority!

[skandarsgirl01]

I LOVE the non rap version. I was kinda dissappointed when I realized he had used a rapper in this song b/c it seem that everything popular has to use a rap when it really doesn't need to...but anyway i love love love this song :D

[multiburger1000]

Amazing nice!

[knonis31]

I can't believe he is not having a concert whr I live, I'm just devastated

[19Sibby96]

I agree with mailman0 lmao I love this so much better(: eargasm...

[xoscrluvv00]

love this song sooooo much.

[aqwxancon]

1 person got blasted into the alligator sky :P

[TheGleek2011]

-3 it x

[911desmarais]

dumb

[musicman141995]

This is probably the best Adam has done.

[patrocom]

although.. alligators in the sky would be trippy, i like this song :D!

[mailman0]

It sounds like the song was finished, then they just stuck Shawn Chrystopher in a recording booth, played the song, and he just talked over the finished song. I suppose it could have been all right if he had really added to the song, but instead he just detracts from an already finished piece. Did you use some vocal removal tool to cut out Mr. Chrystopher, or is this a version before he ruined it?

[05clairbear]

I don't want Owl City to change their music. I <3 it too much!

[Dt967]

Look, stop arguing about whether the rap or non-rap is better. They're both awesome

[Banelli1330]

Even without the rap, I have to admit this song is still unfortunately very main-stream for Owl City.

Don't get me wrong, I still love it.

[Argurious19]

Shawn Chrystopher is good, but seriously, NOTHING compares to when that first verse hits in this version! Talk about chills down the spine!!

[Light3up]

Got some love for this song!

[xstuckxinxmyxheadx]

May 17th?! On iTunes it says June 14th...

[Bouncest2]

When I buy the albumn, I'm deleting the rap version and replacing it with this

[videoANDadio]

The audio quality sucks!! It's so unstable

[Bobbelly1]

This one is easily the best owl city song ever...the Non-rap is anyway cuz the rap SUCKS

[awesomeness8918]

Dude who doesn't like rap I don't know but ... The rap version is soooo much better but I still like owl city by the way watch floating cup it's pretty good

[owlwolf101]

Can y download this? I like this soooo much better than the rap! If I can download, where and/or how?

[MrChewymango]

Soooooooooo much better than the rap version....I couldn't stand the rap! This is soo much better!

[Mr1pandapuppies1]

@unicorn3553

LOL !!! XD

[keepthebombgethecoin]

@adob193 I think it's more of a metaphor; the sky is "eating you" like an alligator when you're on this rocket that's flying into space. :)

[keepthebombgethecoin]

@kamikazegaming1 no. Just no.

[asdfghjkl28112]

hi is so awsome

[kgirl346]

Great song! I cant wait for the album :)

[pkpikachuYT]

Where XTC becomes cavalier hehe

[foreversunshine00]

can't wait for the whole album to come out! love owl city !!!

[joker7487487]

XD motivation mixed with a kickin bass and entrancing vocals, this is what music should be.

[MusicMunchies101]

why did u write "non-rap"?

[vintagegirl1999]

@MusicMunchies101 There is a rap version for this song

[Spiritheart113]

Wayy better than the one with Shawn Christopher. Love this version :]

[adob193]

Does anyone have any clue about what an alligator sky is? My best guess is that some cloud patterns kinda look like an alligator's back.

[THEORYofMEtari8kitti]

Is this or the Shawn Chrystopher version the one on the album?

[theshelbz101]

this album comes out on my bday. "dreams dont turn to dust"! ;)

[musefan4]

This version is far better than the rap version. Rap is so harsh and overpowering for owl city, they sound awful together :l not that rap sounds good in the first place, though.

[psycopathe57]

both versions are cool

[CyberAceTV]

How did you get this?

[misshmonglo82]

thank you so much for uploading!! I love it so much more without the rap! =)

[asdolfhitler]

thumbs up if you did not notice the background color change

[mistydoll5898]

i <3 both versions.

[Kongarch]

Sorry to interrupt, but "We're ecstasy because cavalier" should be "WHEN ecstasy BECOMES cavalier" ...

[XxXKawaiiSocksXxX]

@Kongarch Yeah sorry bout that... I know there will be mistakes in here because the song hasn't officially been released yet and very few sites had the lyrics.

[TiffanyTeddyTune44]

@XxXKawaiiSocksXxX HOW DID YOU GET THIS DOWNLAOD?!? ive been searching all day :P plz respond :)

[dkreye]

@XxXKawaiiSocksXxX its also over every town AS you look down sorry just had to :D
