[NebulaeBurst]

Oh Adam, Y U so owlsome

[munnonockspirit]

Must....buy...but where?

[B4im81]

..Adam does screamo... I STILL LOVE IT

[Rainalon78]

BEHOLD! No-one says that anymore because people think it's stuped. SOOOOO NOT STUPED.

[HongKoon93]

Adam is so misunderstood by the mainstream crowd and media in SO many different ways

[MrKillDoe]

this music is so hardcore lmao

[Predelnik]

That's amazing, such a diverse piece of art.

[REDWOLF015]

thumbs up if you're his biggest fan

[riceballuver4ever]

@REDWOLF015 You'd think out of 17, 055 veiws and 140 likes, there would be more than 15 fans... come on people!

[96BearBear]

All of his music is wonderful but he is to talented and adorable to hurt such a lovely voice like his in songs like these but I still luv it and him!!!!!

[greenmonster3535]

THIS.PICTURE.IS.SO.CUTE

[strawheads]

i can hear him screaming "oh my god" "wings" and "proud"

[ILiekDuhAdamYoung]

....Lyrics? I think NOT O:

[REDWOLF015]

breath taking

[mikepunk4ever]

La melodia parece a la clasica melodia de Tetris game. :P

Adam Young tu sabes comprender mi mundo.

Escuchar tus melodias hacen que pueda ver imagenes tan bizarras en mi mente lo cual jamas podre explicar que es... Tu sabes si como llegar esos pensamientos raros en mi mente. Te agarré demasiado cariño. Espero sigas haciendo musica 4ever. Atte: Miguel Castillo

[Blanch202]

@greanmonster its not just that pic :)

[greenmonster3535]

HE IS SO HOT IN THIS PIC xD

[pandaparadise12]

MattandMaxAdventures WAT??!! Where is the download???!! :D

[Jasmin2977]

Ohh he's so cute! <3

[dougmoerhoffman]

so awkward, lol. but the music is great

[OwlCityTakeMeAway]

Exactly. I love that boy.

[OwlCityTakeMeAway]

I like this. I can't exactly explain why, though.

[martha368]

@OwlCityTakeMeAway Because it's adam freaking young. What's there not to like? xD. xx

[OwlCityTakeMeAway]

@martha368 Well, yeah, true, he is the most amazing person i know. But still Adam Young doing screamo is a little weird, you have to admit it. A nice kind of weird though.

[martha368]

@OwlCityTakeMeAway Haha yeah, but i love Novel and Aquairum now o.o. xx

[OwlCityTakeMeAway]

@martha368 Oh yeah, Aquarium is one of my favorites, too. And The Perfect Theory, those songs are so adorable and funny.

[martha368]

@OwlCityTakeMeAway Yes same here xD. He sounds so out of tune in The Perfect Theory, but the lyrics are soooo cute xD. xx

[BiggestOwlCityFan12]

What do lawns have to do with this? I mean, of all things...

[martha368]

The music is kinda happy but it has an edgey theme to it... but it's kinda ironic when the music is all happy and adam's just screaming in the background xD. Aww, i love him. I was shocked when i first heard this though, because adam isn't the guy you'd expect to do screamo. xx

[PearlsofLife3]

love the song......the screamo? not so much lol. but then again i never did like screamo lol. im so glad he didn't do screamo, i love the style he is mainly known for.

but honestly im loving this tune! now the tune is great :) and i can kinda picture him in his basement screaming out this song :P its interesting, even if i don't like the sound.

[ArchiesCrush]

The screaming is adorable... I can't even.

I can just picture him in the basement, screaming to make his music. ^_^

I love him to death.

[MissLivYoung]

Even tho I don't know for sure how old he was making this, I imagine Adam as a 19-20 year old, sitting in his basement, screaming into the microphone like a maniac. And it's a really odd vision because you don't see Adam as furious as he sounds when he screams like this, ever. But I love it!

[AlwayZash]

thts a good pic of him ^-^ <3

[NickTamandua]

The music is awesome. Not much of a huge fan of the screaming. I was also hoping for that 'yelling' he does in Angels and Kamikaze, but this was just a little weird for me. But still really like the music. Adam rocks.

[xxVampireZeldaxx]

I REALLY love this :D ^ - ^ it's hot when he screams...

And people.. really, it's annoying when all you ever comment is that this is scary or weird or in some way degrading it : /

[ohnoaperson543]

I dunno, I kinda like the screaming :) It's totally different but it's good.

[aaronm1313]

Such perfect transitions

[RainbowSkies4]

I lov this song! Its so epic!

[bex111100]

I wish I knew what he was saying

[Flweep]

srry adam but this is just not ur style

[jessicamoocow13]

I was listening happily, then I heard the screaming and was kind of afraid to listen to the rest.

[JE55EYATE5]

@jessicamoocow13 i love you:)

[thetangeledivy]

his screaming is adorable! <3 :D ...well sounding anyway what is he saying exactaly? anyone?

[ParaKimmyMore]

Well. He sounds angry. *cough* *looks away awkwardly*

[Boxrag]

LOL

[KamikazeOverMe]

I knew Adam always had some screamo in him :D

[ggill1313]

What are the lyrics? lol

[bsbangel1]

I love Adam, but this is scary...

[InvaderKattLuver]

Keep your beautiful voice Adam!!! 

[jovencesarino]

“No! Look, you are an unusually bad guesser, so I’m just gonna go ahead and tell you why I’m upset. I gotta come up with $1900 to fix some jerk’s car, another $800 to fix my mother’s car, and I just got fired. Man. I can’t believe Kurt fired me from Mondo Burger.” - Adam Young.

this is the Aquarium description, that explain the adam's feeling when he wrote the aqyuarium and novel songs

[RainbowCity77]

@jovencesarino hahahahahahahahahahaahahahahah­a!

[BiggestOwlCityFan12]

Is it just me, or in the part of the song where he screamed, he yelled "my cousins are proud!"

[musiclover4evr11]

Adam? Is that you? Is that REALLY you? Seriously, you never fail to surprise me.

I had no idea he was sort of into screamo. I wouldn't expect that from him. But I prefer his beautiful soft voice, and his other kind of yelling like in the Owl City songs "Kamikaze" and "Angels." But it's nice to know that Adam listens to a whole variety of music and doesn't stick to one type.

[Icicle1penguin]

...Is he screaming? XD

[524Lissa]

@SuperSavvyTv Many: Owl City, Port Blue , Windsor Airlift, Aquarium, Blue Dallas, Dolphin Park, The Grizzly, Insect Airport, Keehar, Novel, Seagull Orchestra, Sky Sailing, Swimming With Dolphins, Basketball, The Perfect Theory, Chester Mcwiggins, The Kowboy Kidz, Nuclear Suplex, Unwed Sailor, Glacier Island, The Last Skyline.

I prefer Owl City, Sky Sailing and Insect Airport :) look it up on YouTube :)

[kingdragonpie1337]

why adam is screaming

[524Lissa]

@kingdragonpie1337 Don't know, but he does it in the songs of Aquarium too, and I find it horrible :(

[TheSnowyice]

You have to get out your anger somehow. Everyone has it. lol xD

[silverdem0n]

Errrr, I may be the party pooper or whatever but, I prefer to not hear him scream. Sounds horrible IMO.

[skipthirteen]

Ideally, if I were ever lucky enough to be able to meet Adam Young and ask him a question, I would ask him for the lyrics to either this song or I Am Denmark, I love both of those songs but I can't quite decipher what he is saying! Or if that would be too much to ask, I would simply ask him if Goodbye Dubai is still waiting to become reality, or if the concept has been lost over time. That is, if I could stay conscious throughout the entire experience... I sure would be nervous. :3

[killlamas57]

Actually i like this screamo form Adam...Its like softer screamo...Its a blend of two worlds...idk thts just how i see it.

[TheGAMEBOY1994]

@SuperSavvyTv from what i heard, 36.......

[gerbil545]

N-n-n-nightmares....

[China247120]

What is he saying???

[dougmoerhoffman]

I can't screamo either, lol

[shoobees16]

Damn Adam Young.. can you get ANY more talented??

what a stupid question... of course you can. All your projects and songs never cease to amaze me. <3

[karadactyl97]

Adam....are you having anger issues? LOL

[shrunhome8516]

if only he sang in it

[VatriciaCEdgar]

Adam Adam Adam Adam(as i shake my head)

[iloveeadamyoung]

it is Adam, the softened, American accent, croaky, adorable screaming is definitely him (:

[iloveeadamyoung]

someone post lyrics up of what Adam is screaming about?

[Kaylamarieowlcity]

omg!!! I am pretty sure that was not Adam!

[m3rl1on]

adam young's musical genre : synthpop, rock, pop, screamo, trance, ambient, post-rock, etc

[Lilly5739]

And that, children, is why Adam Young did not pursue a career in screamo.

[Lilly5739]

Does anyone know what exactly he's screaminG?

[completerandomnes100]

Can someone please send me the lyrics please!

[imhappyontheinside]

this....this amazing piece of Adam Young's genius....is, without a doubt, my new favorite song.

[sietseboy]

I liked the song if it was without that screaming...

[RainbowCity77]

wth

[teamedwardrocks18]

@RainbowCity77 Wth?

[RainbowCity77]

@teamedwardrocks18 I liked it lol but I was like "wth this is all screamy"

[teamedwardrocks18]

@RainbowCity77 Oh haha yeah true(:

[Himpontainous]

Adam Young, Amazing as always :D

[fontaine526]

can i see the lyrics

[allerdyce]

im pretty sure the vocal track was ran through a bitcrusher or something.

[kyter65]

Ahhhhh!!! I love Adam Young! I've been listening to this song for two days...

[unluckyvevo]

For people who like his songs there is infinite so far...

Chester Mcwiggins and the Kowboy Kidz,Aquarium,Seagull Orchestra,Port Blue,owl city,sky sailing,insect airport,Nuclear Suplex... too many...

[laurarific]

[amylfoster006]

@laurarific Because you can't imagine comparing THIS to Fireflies!!! :P

[EmceeKizzle]

[TheBookworm24]

Adam Young......screamo? weirdest thing ever i swear. but i still love him :)

[diglztianad]

I bet his voice hurt after that. Mine would

[diglztianad]

@naruto3343 Actually, people in my school have studied him. I walk past with music playing and they go 'Oh that's Owl City!' which is the first time it has ever happened to me. EVER.

[Anthonyissoawesome]

It'd be so much better if we knew what he was saying!

[haloKINGSstudios]

i would NEVER have thought that Adam would had done a screamo song. still a great song, and theres not alot of screaming in it anyways ^_^

[BrittneyCrowley96]

Its amazing how far Adam has come along! How many people he has helped. How different his music is in every different project hes done!

[tayleroni]

right now this is my favourite song xD

[200chinadoll]

I LOL'd when I imagined him recording this! XD he's a good screamer

[JennyXxXRea]

Sigh. Oh Adam you amaze me yet again.

[tayleroni]

hehe his voice sounds so awkward and lovely.

[soilocaya]

aaww i really love the song D: iiss sooo beautiful ^^

[rhinosarereal]

Adam's techno phase. 

[sbpinkgirl]

<3 Love this song!

I really wish there were more Novel songs... ^.^

[muffybear64]

i love him ♥____♥

[LuckyTriforce]

Adam you've been through so much, can't be sure what it is, but the music you make, I CAN feel your heart in it and the turmoil it's gone through.  You've progressed so much ... it's an inspiration to all of us to come out of this spiral of pain we all go through and think more outside the box to become more optimistic.

[ThePilot1524]

Is it siriusly Adam who is screaming?

[saltwaterloveee]

@ThePilot1524 yes.

[ThePilot1524]

@saltwaterloveee Okey:) Thanks:-)

[micahlanders1]

@saltwaterloveee Is this an instrumental? I only heard music. When does he scream?

[dreamythedreamer]

@micahlanders1 Lol, oh he screams. It's just hard to hear. Just turn the volume up and listen carefully. I thought the same thing at fist. Sorry....for butting in and all.

[TheSaber2ooth]

@ThePilot1524 sadly (and quite to my amuesment) yes

[PrincessBudenskya]

This song is so epic! I downloaded it from Purevolume. It's so cool how there are such distinctly different sections of it, and yet somehow they transition smoothly. Really I think this is among his best. I love the name too- of both the project and the song. Do you know the origin of that epic picture? I've seen it around, and I really want to know where it came from.

[saltwaterloveee]

@PrincessBudenskya it definitely is one of his best :) no, i don't. I've never actually seen the original, this picture was edited by a fan.

[saarseppl]

My gosh, it's so amazing how diverse his music is!

[happyfeet794]

aww! i love how he tries the metal scream!!!

[happyfeet794]

this picture is my cell phone background!!!! now he looks like an unwed sailor! (inside owl city joke)

[1NotEvenFunny1]

@saltwaterloveee , Thank you for all the amazing adam young side project videos (:

[saltwaterloveee]

@1NotEvenFunny1 you're welcome. :)

[1NotEvenFunny1]

@saltwaterloveee Any way I could get a download link to this? Or you could send it to me?

[saltwaterloveee]

@1NotEvenFunny1 totally, just shoot me an e-mail!

[1NotEvenFunny1]

@saltwaterloveee could you message me your email address? thanks!

[venasara]

3:46 -breakdown-

oh i love that part :3

[lukeee89]

it's so cool to hear the evolution of his songs. when you listen to owl city, it's just so polished in terms of production and writing that it's hard to see how he ever got there. but hearing all his old songs you've posted is really cool because it shows he is in fact human haha.

[TheSaber2ooth]

@lukeee89 i'm still not convinced i think he did this just to make people think that he's human..:)

[algebraparish]

@lukeee89 i agree with i just really pray that i one day make it to this level i love music but i fear i wont be able to make it into a career well i guess we'll see what the Lord has to say about it

[CartoonsAndGameShows]

Wow, this guy is really talented. Owl City is definitely one of my favorite artists in recent years.

[OgdenMovies]

i have a question...where do you get these songs? his myspace page?

[saltwaterloveee]

@OgdenMovies

well i don't download them from there.. i don't have the software to. Mostly purevolume and random download links that I'm not sure how I find lol. Lots of research pays off :)

[MooOinkQuackWoof]

That's him screaming...

[iHeartMADtv]

@christian12102 kinda? :D

[happyfeet794]

just to clear everything up, he put sailboats under his side project seagull orchestra, then changed the song and put the new version under his side project sky sailing

[ZusammenhangslosLive]

I love this song - think it sounds a little bit like 'this is the future' ;)

[Fiischstab]

the melody is kinda catchy..

[ZusammenhangslosLive]

I am sure this is Adam, it definitely sounds like him. I love the mix of calm electro beats and hard screaming. It's got something magical.

[pmkenzie]

This is just about the least hardcore screamo song I've ever heard. I love it. :)

[Paulineisawesome]

Adam has a lot of side projects and they are: Swimming with Dolphins,Sky Sailing,Seagull Orchestra,Port Blue,Windsor Airlift,Aquarium,Basketball,Bl­ue Dallas,Chester McWiggins and the Kowboy Kidz,Dolphin Park,El Uno Clarence,The Grizzly,Insect Airport,Keehar,Nuclear Suplex, Novel, and of course Owl City, but that's his main project.:)

[augustrunsred]

@Paulineisawesome Most of those are not real. Some are simply his friends who associated themselves with him. Port Blue, Seagull Orchestra, Sky Sailing, Swimming With Dolphins, Windsor Airlift, Aquarium, Keehar and Insect Airport are the ones that are 100% true.

[saltwaterloveee]

@augustrunsred

yeah there's a lot of confusion regarding Adam's involvement in a lot of these projects, but Novel is definetly his.

[xxgrritisbrandonxx]

@augustrunsred okay, seagull orchestra is not him. they stole his song sailboats.

[saltwaterloveee]

@xxgrritisbrandonxx Lol they stole it? People are getting desperate to explain that one. It very well is Adam Young.

[purpleunicornmagic]

@saltwaterloveee Adam Young joined Seagull Orchestra and did a different version with them ,

[augustrunsred]

@xxgrritisbrandonxx Yes it is him. I'm sure he confirmed it somewhere. So they "stole" the song? Adam is not a selfish person, and there is no rule stating that song-sharing between bands is frowned upon. Also, on Seagull Orchestra's blog, Adam's band, Windsor Airlift commented on it. There was no accusation in the comment, so I'm guessing there is no animosity between them.

[ZusammenhangslosLive]

@xxgrritisbrandonxx Haha, Seagull Orchestra is an old side project. 'Sailboats' is Adam's, only that it's an older version.

[greenbean22i]

@xxgrritisbrandonxx lol, yes it is him, omg how can anyone not know that! =) no offense but not one of the least known facts about adam. =)

[MooOinkQuackWoof]

@xxgrritisbrandonxx Seagull Orchestra is him and how can they steal sailboats if the Seagull Orchestra version came out before the Sky Sailing version?

Seagull Orchestra is 100% him.

[Fiischstab]

oh good cant post it here -.-

[Fiischstab]

Yes this is really unusual for Adam.

And yeah .. He has a lot of bands :D

i just found this list of bands a few days ago.

Check it out if you wanna know all his projects! (:

I think its a good list.

can't post it here.

[LyfeDenied]

he's had a lot of bands o_o all amazing xP

[ShuyinArg]

Hey saltwaterloveee, i'm glad i could hear this Novel song.

Im some kind of an Owl City Researcher. Owl City is really my favourite band, and i'm looking for every kind of music Adam ever made. So if you would like to talk about Owl City or anything, or if i could get a download link of this, i'd appreciate it :)

[raawrimadiinosaurr]

@ShuyinArg thats the same thing i do . i just go around looking for everything he did . i really love him ..............................­. ♥_♥

[TechnoLuvSadie]

dude!! stop being so sexy!!! btw I LOVE ALL OF YOUR MUSIC!!!

[Stargate8girl]

I like this track. =) Although, Port Blue will ALWAYS be my fave from all of Adam's early projects.

[some1andno1]

Is this really his music? Why would he be screaming like he is angry or emo? It is really unusual of him. Also, has anyone heard of "the sounds"- something related to Owl City. My friend recommended me a song but I can't find anything related to "the sounds"

[saltwaterloveee]

@some1andno1

maybe he has more than one side? his music taste is very eclectic, you know. I'm not sure if that's actually him screaming, though, or if it's electronic improvisation.

[DieFroschkekse]

@saltwaterloveee i think it's an electric improvisation i think, cos somehow i don't think it sonds like HIS voice... are there any other songs by 'Novel'? I like it.

[saltwaterloveee]

@DieFroschkekse sadly, no, i believe that's the only song he made under "novel"
