Rockets came to life.

So those who know me know how much of a psychotic HootOwl/Owl Citizen I am. It's hard to explain but I find it so easy to fall in love with his songs. Actually come to think of it, it's not really just Owl City, it's Adam himself. His music under Owl City, Sky Sailing, Swimming with Dolphins apa semua side projects dia tu, they're all beautiful. The way he manages to intertwine these random words to make sweet sounding sentences that rhyme and people can sing to, it's just such a gift.

And the majority of his songs aren't the typical mushy-mushy lovey dovey bla bla shiznits that takeover the airwaves nowadays. They're more sort of general. He lets you relate to them how you want. He plays with them, the words. And he plays with them very well. 


Roller coaster through the atmosphere,
I'm drowning in this starry serenade, 
Where ecstasy becomes cavalier
My imagination is taking me away

That's one of my absolute favourite parts of one of many of his songs. Just sums his style up perfectly. Unique, dreamy, weird and one may say a tad nonsensical but utterly wonderful nonetheless. It's not to everyone's taste which is okay. You can't please everyone.

Tapi teringat the times back home when I would drive around with my family in the car - Adam's music blazing in the background as per usual - and they would all be like, 'OMG not him again, please pasang lagu orang lain'. And I would be all like, 'nuh uh I'm in the driver's seat so I choose.' And 5 seconds later Angah stuffs the USB in and puts on his random screamo emo tahapa benda trail mix and we would all be like 'NOOOOOO BISING'  and last last tutup radio. Bummer. Ah lovely memories.

I miss home.  

Anyway yeah.
Bye kot.
