  • Alright alright alight.This is totally bullcrap about his gf drying. Adam Young wrote this song for his girlfriend that he loved in high school, but they lost contact, so he wrote this song about them. No, she didn't die. He's said it in interviews, people who say that she died, are lying and just passing on rumors. Its song is just about him missing her is all.

  • My first thought when I saw the picture that starts 0:24 was: OMG he has a big nose ..

    Haha,sorry.. I love the music he does, but I could not help thinking so.

  • 0;31

  • now that i know the meaning of the song im crying like crazy. its so sad. (tear)

  • Wow reading the song's meaning made me cry :( that's so sad.. i always thought of this song cause me and my girlfriend broke up and i really miss her but his girlfriend died gosh that's so sad :((

  • this song makes me think about how i miss a guy i dated.... i cryed threw te song! its so pretty but so sad

  • To be honest....any song can be anything you think of it to be....This songs just means that to him, but to me...I think of my girlfriend, and how she is out in the world, but she isn't sitting right beside me right now for me to hold....

  • this song made me cry cuz me and my boyfriend just broke up and when we would get into fights he would sing this to me so i would laugh and we would make up but this time its not gonna work and its takin every thing i have not to take him back

    

  • @jonasgirl233 Thats a really bad argument.

  • I love this song but just because he wrote it about his girlfreind does not nessicarily mean that she died.

  • @jonasgirl233 Wooooow the media!!! Oh no! It must be true then!! No. It would be true if Adam confirmed it. Not "the media"

  • @jonasgirl233 dude or girl lol u guys just sing about girls all the time doesnt mean they gfs died then they write a song about it

  • this song reminds me of my dog who sadly passed away in feb of 2 seizures and i still cry when i hear this song and think about my dog. its a very sad song but it makes me know that my dog is in heaven :) and i swear i will never forget this song or my dog!! -TwilightNHorsesLover ;)) ;))

  • @TwilightNHorsesLover :) For some reason, it reminds me of my little sister who dies in the womb. But it also reminds me that families are forever.

  • could be his mother

  • I love this song, so stinking much! When I'm having a bad say, I listen to this and then go hug my little sister and little bro.

  • Comment removed

  • And I'll forget the world that I knew

    But I swear I won't forget you

  • guys, don't believe everything wikipedia says. she died. :'(

  • I cry EVERY TIME I listen to this. And that's most days!!!!!!

  • This actually made me cry, and im a 14 year old boy XD

  • @Liairsoft1 awe!! :)

  • She didnt die by the way she just moved away.

  • wth you tube wont let me post the link??? well just google it noobs google is your friend

  • ok owl city has many question like why is shaqu in the real music video for vanilla twilight(i seached up on this there was no reason it was for the heck of it)?, is he on drugs(i say no he just a insomniac like his songs say) but this question how he wrote this song has been awnsered with a sure yes his girlfriend or soon to be bride died if you dont think she did here's proof.

  • if you don't liek the song then fine. if you do does it matter who died or what the songs written for? it obvious it affected you all as its such a great song...just enjoy his lyrical greatness!

  • in the lyrics it said I'd send a postcard to you dear, so it means she is too far away and he cant send a postcard there!

  • in the lyrics it said I'd send a postcard to you dear,

  • his girlfriend DID die. :'( Poor Adam! but the song is soo amazing :) my favorite song since January <3

  • @jonasgirl233 But thats the media, they make almost everything up, hes girlfriend didnt die.

  • @jonasgirl233 He had a girlfriend that moved away and he misses her

  • @jonasgirl233 how do u knw dat adam's gf is dead?

  • 3:15 mmmm

    anyone know where thats from?

  • ♥♥♥ it

  • omg this song is really deap it gets to me thinking about the meaning

  • OMFG its just a song dont effing cry about it Jesus Crist... Is a good person

  • his girlfriend didn't die he just made the song :3

  • WOW ONE OF US ISN'T STUPID, YOU JUST COPIED THIS FROM ANOTHER ARTICLE

  • i got goose bumps right at the start

  • it's repose, not opposing.

  • @jonasgirl233 i like whispering quietly with the girl i love, everynight i sing this song to her, it isn't about his girlfriend dying, it's about a lost love.

  • i didn't cry for the other times i heard this song. must of been the meaning.

  • almost cryed :(

    excellent song :)

  • God, i still love this song so much!

  • reminds me off people i no....and miss :/

  • @jonasgirl233 This touching ode to love lost is about Adam Young's (a.k.a. Owl City) high school girlfriend who moved away. In an interview with Buzzgrinder on August 20, 2009, Young explained: "I met the most charming girl imaginable when I was in high school and most of my 'cozy' songs are about her. She moved away to college for a few years and we kind of lost touch. She and I recently started talking to each other again and life has a way of reshaping sometimes." i will email u link

  • what a beautiful song <3

  • omg i was about to cry;(

  • I am pretty sure tha ann marie monson is adam's girlfriend form that whole twitter thing and how they were following each other and breanne duner sorta confirmed it too. strangest thing though..they're not following each other on twitt n e more, in fact this ann girl is not even on twitter n e more! grrr how it angers me just to think that adam is taken. ARGHH!

  • hope you know im not 42 actully 11 [ used dads age] but if my girl friend passed i would be destroyed

  • @jonasgirl233 Yes, what potatospotatos28 says is true. I was a bit confused when I saw the music video, too, but both Wikipeida and ITS CITED SOURCE for it say that its about Adam Young's (Owl City) girlfriend from high school who moved away.

  • T.T

  • dang, why does this song always bring tears to my eyes?

  • She passed away...

    Its not something to say like you know about it just forget about it.

  • awesome

  • Adam Young girlfriend is not dead from any accidents thats just a stupid rumour, Adam Young girlfriend name is Ann. And she is preety much ALIVE !

  • @Strawburry01 thats his girlfriend after the one that died read the press

  • @Strawburry01 = I thought ann is his new gf?

  • Ohh, ir makes sense now(:

  • adam young's girlfriend MOVED AWAY not PASSED AWAY

  • aww I love this song, it's so beautiful. I hope that Adam is okay, he's such a lovely guy and he doesn't deserve that pain :(

  • Oh give me a break, i absolutely LOVE owl city, but he did NOT have a girlfriend who died.

  • @potatospotatos28 i saw an interview and he accualy said it

  • @potatospotatos28 its true dude.

    100%

    its true.

  • @potatospotatos28 she did die in a car crash

  • @potatospotatos28 actually. . . he did.

  • poor adam. =[ beautiful song though

  • the song was wrote because she left to go to college and they drifted apart ....he never once said she was dead.

  • If you review the new music video by owl city I think you'll understand.

  • @jonasgirl233 review the new video??? no perhaps read the lyrics and what he said himself will suffice, rather than believe everything I hear on the internet!

  • @jonasgirl233 how does the music video imply anything about his gf dying? its lights in the sky if u remember his fireflies video he is in a room full of toys.. the guy has a very child like sense of humor which is where he gets his lyrics and i would like to see media confirm his dead gf in the meantime ill give u a link saying it was about his gf going to college not dying

  • @jonasgirl23The whole thing about Adam's girlfriend being dead is simply not true. Her name is Anna she is tall and has blonde hair just like adam said.Their not together anymore but they are still friends.

  • @paulbarry3 well you should get a clue just because you did

    not here it is not true us comene sense

  • @paulbarry3 you mean the song was written because she left to go to college (learn to spell). Also I agree with jonasgirl233

  • @beatles4evaaneva as you can see my spelling was flawless, my grammar was off so don't try play that card on me, especially when one looks at your name. @jonasgirl you say in your description that its about his gf dying but then say that you will link me to him saying it was about her going away, make your mind up! I know she's not dead. Plus lights in the sky could symbolise heaven and the afterlife, maybe that's why people assume she is

  • In an interview, he was asked what his next single would be

    He replied Vanilla Twilight.

    But in the same interview he was asked what kind of women he likes

    He replied, My girlfriend, shes blonde and tall

    So obviously he wrote the song before she supposedly died

  • @yoboyrolo It can't of been before she died, cuz just listen to the lyrics..."But i swear i won't FORGET YOU, oh if my voice could reach back through the PAST, id whisper in your ear, oh darling i wish you were HERE."

  • In an interview, he was asked what his next single would be

    He replied Vanilla Twilight.

    But in the same interview he was asked what kind of women he likes

    He replied, My girlfriend, shes blonde and tall

    So obviously he wrote the song before she supposedly died

  • ya i love this song toooooooo butt ilove my song fireflies!!!!!!

  • That is so sad, I love this song, even though it makes me want to cry a lot it kinda keeps me going at the same time.....

  • one of my friends said she died in a car crash... is that true? :( <3

  • how could he sing that i mean i wuld like start crying if i had to sing that n i had lost sum1 that close to me

  • the meaning of the song is super sad...it made me cry...sunburn and super honey moon r also based on his girlfriend i think....there's one part in sunburn that i just cried my eyes out in

  • I HOPE he's ok !! i feel really sad now !!! i so love him !!!! i really want 2 now wat his girlfriend looks like cuase u now she died and every thing!!!! and in some verses it is really sad if u think about it !!! and u can tell that he is really alone !! i feel really bad for him and the girls fam !!!! i think she died from cancer! i hate when people die from cancer cuase u now that some day there will be a cure and so many have died from it all ready

    i feel so sorry for him :(

  • i love him hes so awsome and makes the best music but it made me cry! im sorry about his girlfreind

  • Just listening to this song, I could tell he most likely lost his girlfriend. His music has had such a positive impact on people, and I'm sure I speak for many fans when I say that I'd love for him to continue making music for a very long time :D

  • omg its so sad poor him :(
