~MUSIC FOR THE DAY ♪

"If your household appliances wrote love songs while you were away on vacation, their cheerful blips and bleeps would pour out the windows, sweep through the neighborhood like candy-coated tidal waves, and you would return home to find crowds of people standing on your lawn, clapping and singing along to the happiest pop melodies imaginable. Welcome to Owl City."

I was completely unaware of Adam Young's faith profile (so to speak) until I stumbled over this cover he did on youtube one day--you don't say...

Here is a bit piece with a Minnesotan paper in which Adam speaks of "In Christ Alone."  The article also links to Adam's blog, which is also linked from Owl City's website.

Here is an interview with the singer by Christianity Today ("Owls, Fireflies, and Jesus") in which Adam shares his faith story and deals with the question as to whether he wants to be known as a "Christian musician" (and for Owl City to be known as a "Christian band").

Here  is an interview with Jesus Freak Hideout in which Adam shares lots a' fun stuff ☺.
 

Here is an article about the band by The Source for Youth Ministry.

Here is an interview with Adam by Back Beat Seattle in which he relates what inspired him to create Owl City.
 

Here is an interview Adam did with a radio show in which he shares his musical influences. *Btw, the video at the end of the interview is a car ad :/

Here is an interview in which Adam reveals the provenance of the moniker, "Owl City" (what a hoot!) ☺.

Here is an article by The A.V. Club (an entertainment newspaper/website published by The Onion) in which nonsensical shenanigans predominated ☺.

Here is an interview Adam did with The Christian Post in which he relates the meaning behind the song, "Galaxies."

Call back the cap-com,

Tick off the time-bomb,

Let felicity fly!

Armour the airlock,

Blanket the bedrock,

And kiss the planet goodbye!

Dear God, I was terribly lost,

When the galaxies crossed,

And the sun went dark.

Dear God, You're the only North Star,

I would follow this far.

Fight back the flight deck,

Bring on the breakneck,

Cue the solar eclipse!

Summit the sunset,

Dubtail the dragnet,

And blow your backbone to bits!

Dear God, I was terribly lost,

When the galaxies crossed,

And the sun went dark.

Dear God, You're the only North Star,

I would follow this far.

Oh telescope, keep an eye on my only Hope,

Lest I blink and be swept off the Narrow Road.

Hercules, you've got nothing to say to me,

'Cause you're not the Blinding Light that I need.

For He is the Saving Grace of the galaxies!

He is the Saving Grace of the galaxies
