Owl City - Hot Air Balloon Live @ Minneapolis, MN

Owl City is the electronic brainchild of Adam Young, who launched the project in 2007 while living at his parents' home in Owatonna, MN. Troubled by insomnia, Young began spending his evenings in the household basement, where a computer and several instruments provided a welcome diversion from his sleeping patterns. He eventually combined those diversions into a blend of electronica and emo-pop, using little more than his computer and various keyboards to record the material. Songs were uploaded to /MySpace upon completion, and Young began attracting a surprising amount of attention on the networking site.

Owl City's first major label album Ocean Eyes was released digitally in July 2009 by Universal Republic. The first single "Fireflies" was chosen as the iTunes single of the week, and it generated intense interest in the album. Ocean Eyes featured guest vocals from Relient K's Matt Thiessen on four songs. It reached #27 on the Billboard Top 200 album chart and "Fireflies" began climbing the Billboard Hot 100. By October 2009 "Fireflies" was a top 10 smash.

Dang. "Fireflies" "a smash hit"?? This video stinkin' smashed awayy!!! So glad you caught that bit with Duren seriously [and wickedly] jamming the keyboard. Superb.

ok nvm XD it was at 1:02 but i remember that in the recorded version, he finishes saying hot air balloon, but it overlaps and he sings leave your jacket behind, so i guess in a live version, he can't really sing them both at the same time XD

[Azumanga8Daioh]

pretty sure he messed up around 1:00 when he says in a cold hot air balloon, and he wasn't fast enough in switching to leave your jacket behind XD i do that all the time when i sing this song too
