link download please!

[4EveraGuiltyOne]

<3.<3 love this song

[NkZzxDM]

Wow this is just awesome... I can't explain how awesome it is. It is as relaxing as classical music and as cheerful as today's hits at the same time...

Thanks a lot.

[halo0rap]

Oh my, this is just so blissful~ :) And just wondering but are you using a synthesizer? If so what kind because I want to get into synthpop. :3

[summertimesend]

@halo0rap I guess so. This particular lead was made in the inbuilt ES2 synth in Logic, so it wasn't a real outboard synth. But any synthesiser can do this lead. It's just a sine wave with zero attack, zero sustain and a medium-length release.

[HashtagHelloTayLo]

@summertimesend if you ever feel somewhat interested in somehow contributing to a future cover or something of mine, I would literally be the happiest panda. <3

[summertimesend]

@HashtagHelloTayLo Haha, what do you mean? Cover art or cover song? And contribute how?

[HashtagHelloTayLo]

@summertimesend Cover song. <3 Or something. Not sure. I just love your music and if you at some point in time are interested in doing a duet or something similar, uhh, hit me up. (: #fangirl

[summertimesend]

@HashtagHelloTayLo Oh wow. Just watched your Fix You cover. You're way better than me! Have you considered entering my cover contest? 'Cause if you did that and won then I'd produce a song for you.

In terms of collaboration, I hate it from my end. I mean, if you wanted me to sing, I'd be happy to send vocals, but every time I've done it the other way around it's ended in sadness. It almost ruined the duet off my next album 'cause my vocalist didn't send me the right stuff! :\

[HashtagHelloTayLo]

@summertimesend Gotcha. Tell me more about this cover contest? :) And ohhhhh my goodness. Thank you SO much. That is such a huge compliment- you're fantastic! And we kind of messed up near the end of Fix You- Landslide is our better one! (I'm the one on the right in the videos, in case you were wondering.)

[summertimesend]

@HashtagHelloTayLo Haha I'm not fantastic, I use Melodyne. Helps to polish up the vocals a little. Just like Owl City. You two sounded great on your own! As for the cover contest, it's pretty much as simple as it sounds. Cover a song of mine (backing tracks available on my website if needed), upload to YouTube and email me the link. Just watch the main video on my channel, it explains it all :) and it's to win a copy of the new CD and also have me produce one of your songs!

[HashtagHelloTayLo]

@summertimesend Haha nah, you're amazing, even if you use Melodyne! And oh, that sounds so cool! I may just have to enter this contest.(:

[summertimesend]

@HashtagHelloTayLo Oh please do... I would love to watch an entry from you two :)

[suad1007]

Brilliant music dude!! :D

Like if you agree :)

[summertimesend]

@suad1007 Thank you! I appreciate it :)

[StupidMoviesbyKO]

the tune is like hot air balloon from owl city.

[summertimesend]

@StupidMoviesbyKO ...really? The list of comparisons others have made so far was:

I'll Meet You There

Butterfly Wings

On The Wing

The Technicolor Phase

Fireflies

Hello Seattle

The Saltwater Room

I guess I can now add Hot Air Balloon to that... though I really don't see how :P

[kirbygurl8759]

New favorite artist. -3

[summertimesend]

@kirbygurl8759 That is the biggest compliment you could give me! Thank you so much, I'm truly honoured :)

[kirbygurl8759]

@summertimesend <3 I swear if you needed it, I'd totally give you vocals.

[TheWorldsLongestName]

[524Lissa]

Who is your inspiration in this world?

[summertimesend]

@524Lissa Lyrically... God and my girlfriend. Musically... Adam Young and Matt Thiessen.

[524Lissa]

@summertimesend Cool, thanks for answering!

[gidoen0002]

Im serious, my school will soon be singing your praises. i have an ability to get people to get behind an idea. You will become that idea.

[summertimesend]

@gidoen0002 I can't tell you how grateful I am. Perhaps you should document your attempts and enter it into the contest I announced recently :)

[buildnboyjr]

when it said if you like this then please sub i thought f*ck that i already did

[hidethesources]

the lyrics are just THE lyrics. <3 Perfect, perfect, perfect! <3

[summertimesend]

@hidethesources Thanks! I'm so glad you like them :)

[xtrozz]

i had already put a com , but i don't care , AMAZING i love it.... keep working <3

[summertimesend]

@xtrozz Thanks again then :) I'm working on new stuff at the moment!

[Smash3x]

your music is amazing!

and this cannot be compaired to owl city..

owl city has repetitive instrumentals.. these are not repetitive!

[summertimesend]

@Smash3x Hey, thank you! I'm really glad you think so :)

[SurgeonArmy]

@Smash3x Have you noticed that the bloops at the beggining are looped through all the verses? This song is actually kind of repetitive in instrumentation. But that makes it catchy, it is still a good song.

[TheCrazipanda]

My best friend showed me your songs and they are amazing!

[summertimesend]

@TheCrazipanda Well, thank you for listening, and thank your friend for me as well :) I'm so glad you like them!

[TheCrazipanda]

@summertimesend Keep making your beautiful music and we'll keep listening..you are truly amazing!

[aurabelleloveszelda]

haha, you sound EXACTLY like owl city!

[summertimesend]

@aurabelleloveszelda Hmmm. In a good or bad way?

[aurabelleloveszelda]

@summertimesend

oh! definitely in a good way :) i love adam young [:

[ILurveMYGaara]

You sir, are amazing. <3

[summertimesend]

@ILurveMYGaara Thank you :)

[kennectpop]

That was supposed to be a question mark

[kennectpop]

This is Christian /

[summertimesend]

@kennectpop This is the most abstract song I've written, but yes, I deliberately made reference to Christian themes in this song. They're subtle, but they're there ;)

[yillix108]

so just likee about 3 min ago i have discovered your music. 3 minutes in and im in lovee<3! please keep music coming ill be listhing #NowSharedOnFacebook

[summertimesend]

@yillix108 Thanks so much! More music is on its way :)

[DobbyIsAFreeHouseElf]

i like food

[DobbyIsAFreeHouseElf]

beautiful. i feel like im dreaming. or flying? or both! wait no!! it makes me feel like im petting a sparkly pink miniture unicorn WHILE im dreaming and flying....

[XxNolita96xX]

Hi :3

I commented before on my old account GottaLoveWebkinzlid

(I moved accounts)

I still love this <3 Absolutley gorgeous.

[dontgetinahuf123]

do summertimes end go on tour in england? WHERE AND WHEN?!?! :)

[summertimesend]

@dontgetinahuf123 Unfortunately not - I have not toured yet. If I ever do, I'd love to come to England :)

[JumbaJohn]

So apparently if you're a talented solo artist who plays the keyboard, then you're Owl CIty? No.

This is, and only is, Summertime's End.

[TheWorldsLongestName]

We NEED more LIKES on this videoo!!!!!!

[208xx]

This was really good.... Imagine if Owl City and Summertime's End could collaborate and make a few songs.... THAT would be awesome!!!!!

[summertimesend]

@208xx Thanks! It's on my wishlist :)

[1423chris]

Wow I found a band like owl city. Nice

[summertimesend]

@1423chris Thanks :) It's a compliment to be compared to him. He is good, after all.

[TOMJAYification]

fact is if you never heard of owl city your music wouldn't sound like this.. am I wrong ?

[summertimesend]

@TOMJAYification No, you're absolutely correct. If Matt Thiessen hadn't heard of the Beach Boys, Relient K wouldn't sound anything like they do. Adam Young is a huge influence on my music. But everyone seems to judge all my music based on this song alone, which is kinda annoying.

[TOMJAYification]

@summertimesend but I think you have done a good job, I wouldn't imagine it isn't easy to make music that sounds similar to Owl City.

[SteveMusic1000]

OMG!! I thought I would never find a band like owl city!! but look at what I've found!!

[Zanny697899]

@SteveMusic1000 It's one person.

[summertimesend]

@Zanny697899 True I guess, but I still refer to it as a band. I dunno, I just don't like the idea of using my name. Also I do all the instruments and stuff so I suppose I am like a band, just with less people :)

[Zanny697899]

@summertimesend So you're sorta like Owl City. Who is only Adam.

[summertimesend]

@SteveMusic1000 Haha, thanks! I'm glad you found what you were looking for :)

[xiaowangismydog]

@SteveMusic1000 you should also look at The Postal Service, though their music is much more on the alternative side.

[AI2TSY]

wow your great you should deffinatly be more popular

[summertimesend]

@AI2TSY It'd be nice ;) but I can't say I'm unhappy with how things are now. Thanks for listening!

[TheRaver2606]

honestly summertime's end is awesome i love it keep it up . :D

[summertimesend]

@TheRaver2606 Thank you. It's a blessing to be able to do this and I hope to be able to keep it up.

[ScaryMystery]

Hey, thanks for showing me Summertime's end. (Dont remember the nick) I love Owl city and I start to love summertime too. :)

[summertimesend]

@ScaryMystery On behalf of whoever it was, you're welcome! Thank you so much for listening.

[BadStuffRS]

Have you toured/Will you tour in the UK?

[summertimesend]

@BadStuffRS I haven't... I would love to. I'm really not a very well-established artist. I'd like to say I'm comparable to Adam Young and where he was at in his early days, but I can't say at all that I'd ever get the same success as him! If the opportunity ever presented itself, though, I'd so be up for it - I love the UK :)

[BadStuffRS]

I always hear about Summertime's End on Owl City videos so I decided I must check it out =D Subbed =]

[summertimesend]

@BadStuffRS Thank you for checking my stuff out! I am so glad you enjoyed it :)

[yorkyhunt]

"Owl city"?!? Really the FIRST People who did songs like this was The Postal Service. Argh.

[summertimesend]

@yorkyhunt Haha, that tends to be overlooked by people who like pointing the finger and calling 'ripoff'. It happens across all genres ;)

[astridneg]

i like owl city voice but summer times end is amazing too

[summertimesend]

@astridneg That makes two of us. I think Adam Young is awesome :)

[Zanny697899]

30,000 views in an hour!!!

[summertimesend]

@Zanny697899 How I wish it were so. But it's taken almost a year to get these views!

[Zanny697899]

@summertimesend But yesterday it raised like 1,000 views. Hmm strangely awesome!!!!

[shotgunmanful]

rock bands and owl city is really my favourite music producers:Dwithout them,I will commit suicide

[emberbluetechno]

you should make more electronica songs like this......this si your best song....please....(:

[summertimesend]

@emberbluetechno I'm trying to do a little better than this song, but I am making ones that sound similar for my next album :)

[SuperMrGamerdude]

Every owl city and summer times end fan knows that its their dream to see these 2 work on a song and sing it together

[summertimesend]

@SuperMrGamerdude My dream most of all, haha. It would be amazing.

[MakeAcid]

10 seconds hearing

and im subscribed :D

[summertimesend]

@MakeAcid Thanks so much! That's probably the record so far ;)

[Zanny697899]

1:38 Love that part :)

[summertimesend]

@Zanny697899 My favourite bit too :)

[JGMoneyable]

We need musicians like you & Owl City to fill the ears of many!!! :D

[redandyapple]

hey again love this song btw cant stop listening and this is my moms account and she loves your voice to!!!!!!! you wrote this write?

[summertimesend]

@redandyapple Thanks! Yeah, I wrote this :)

[redandyapple]

dude i hope you know i wasnt trying to be mean im just a strong critic you are really great tho never give up!!!!!

[summertimesend]

@redandyapple It's OK, I appreciate the criticism! Thanks for listening!

[IAmKellx]

Add some soft acoustic guitar instead of the boop things and this would be heavenly. Still love it though, nice job

[summertimesend]

@IAmKellx Funny you should say that. I've already written an acoustic version of this song - it'll be out early next year ;)

[IAmKellx]

@summertimesend nice, are you available on itunes?

[summertimesend]

@IAmKellx I am; there are links in the information box of all my songs :) but this song is free if you join the mailing list on Facebook. And so far I've never sent out an email so there's no worry about spam! I just want to be able to let people know when I make new albums.

[lkarr92]

i feel like this is just a rip off of an owl city song..

[summertimesend]

@lkarr92 Haha, many people say that, but the suggested songs that I ripped off are too many to count. I'll definitely admit to being heavily influenced by Owl City for the style of this song, but I didn't "rip off" any of his songs.

[lkarr92]

@summertimesend sorry ha i guess rip off was a little harsh.. don't get me wrong, i love the music you make, i just felt like this soundsed ALOT like if my heart was a house by owl city. then again, it's been a while since i've heard the song =b idk just the feel of the music reminds me of owl city nice job though! cheers =)

[Zanny697899]

I favorited and liked. Nice job!!!

[summertimesend]

@Zanny697899 Thanks! Glad you liked it :)

[redandyapple]

wow this really good but honestly not as good as adam but you are a really good music artist

[summertimesend]

@redandyapple Thanks! Yeah, this was one of my first attempts at electronic music. Obviously Adam Young is better than me. But my next album will be a little better :)

[muffinsgirl14]

@summertimesend lol yeah its really good :D

It reminds me a bit of owl city which spoils it (not cause i don't like owl city i love them!!) cause when i listen to a song it has to be a bit different! You get what im saying? XD im just saying try to make it a bit less like owl city..hehe. I don't mean to be rude if i seem it im soooo sorry!! X(

[Fuzion180]

beginning is awesome, digitally calming ^^ lol where's summertimesend from?dont really know of them much

[Fuzion180]

@Fuzion180 oh wait nevermind, just looked at the account -.-

[summertimesend]

@Fuzion180 Thank you! Perth, Australia, though I see you went and found that :)

[MrFCOS]

...........Awesome, just awesome!

[summertimesend]

@MrFCOS Thanks very much for listening :)

[Dudieronix101]

Owl city and sky sailing and summertime's end should do the most epic song.

[shotgunmanful]

@Dudieronix101 i agree:D

[summertimesend]

@shotgunmanful @Dudieronix101 It would be great to work with Adam and I one day hope to :)

[chekkawekka101]

@Dudieronix101  o.c and s.s are both adam young...

[spike34020]

@Dudieronix101 sky sailing is adam also.

[M0N0747]

yes i love this song and i finally bought the album on itunes

[summertimesend]

@M0N0747 Thank you so much! I really, really appreciate your support like that :)

[SexxyPandaMidget]

;_; Ohmyholyjello. I now breathe this song.

[summertimesend]

@SexxyPandaMidget Awesome :) The next album of mine has an acoustic version which is way better IMO. Stay tuned for that.

[sunhopedreams]

@summertimesend well the music and musician are pretty similar aren't they u can't create beautiful music unless you're a beautiful person :P

[MsCarlab1]

Owl City and Summertimes end :D AMAAAAZZZZINNNNNNGGGGG!!!!!!!

[xtrozz]

This is the best of your sounds !! And i think the other guys tinks like me !!! So do the same type of song !!

[summertimesend]

@xtrozz Thanks! Not sure if I'll be following this kind of style for many more songs as it tends to get criticised quite heavily for sounding like Owl City... but we'll see ;)

[MsCarlab1]

@summertimesend nooo dont stop making music like this is amazing that you sound like owl city because I LOVEEE OWL CITY SOO MUCH!!! and now i love you guys because i love the sound that you create and i love your voice it doesnt sound like Adam Young's so there are differences :)

[summertimesend]

@MsCarlab1 Well... we'll see. Hopefully my next album is only a few months away and we'll know then ;)

[MsCarlab1]

@summertimesend GREAT!! :D i love you <3 xx

[summertimesend]

@MsCarlab1 Haha, thanks very much Carla :)

[MsCarlab1]

@summertimesend No problem :) xxx, you deserve all the fans and positivity that you get, btw im spreading the word about you on EVERYTHING

[vurtiso]

i keep coming back to this song.

[summertimesend]

@vurtiso I hope you enjoy it every time :)

[I3lindFir3]

literally owl city in every aspect

[artisme12]

Oh This song is great ! Just love it, I don't care what they say cause I also love Owl City and Summertime's End will be my favorite too.

[summertimesend]

@artisme12 Thanks so much! I'm really honoured to be in the same class as Owl City :)

[sunhopedreams]

@summertimesend you're awesome :)

[summertimesend]

@sunhopedreams Well, maybe my music is, but not me ;) thanks though!

[Estelikour]

"Owl City" is becoming a genre of music people :D

[summertimesend]

@Estelikour I'd think so after reading the comments on this video.

[stepbystepawsomness]

@Estelikour electropop.

[WynnterReverie]

o__o They're a bit too similar, but I like it.

[welsamz]

REMINDS ME OF OWL CITY!!

[Boxrag]

...Owl City

[JesseIsACow]

Really good, sounds almost exactly like owl city though o-o

[andrewt328]
