'''[[Owl City]]''' is [[I Am the Band|Adam Young with a synthesizer]]. His most popular song to date{{when}} is "Fireflies", a sweet little song that seems to be about a boy whose dreams are inhabited by countless of the aforenamed insects (in actuality, it's a song about Adam's insomnia, but very few people seem to either know or care). Some of his other songs include "Vanilla Twilight", a nostalgic look at unrequited love, and "Umbrella Beach" which is about...[[Mind Screw|something]]. His music tends to cause ''lots'' of [[WAFF]], and is rather [[Love It or Hate It|polarizing]].

Line 87 ⟶ 84:
* [[Not Christian Rock]]: Adam Young is a professed Christian, but does not sing about it at all, which is rather nice actually.
** He does have a couple songs with some definite Christian overtones (see "Meteor Shower" and "Tidal Wave") and ''does'' mention Jesus in "Christmas Song" (because it's, you know, a ''Christmas song'') but that's really it.
*** He made a cover of ''In Christ Alone''. [https://web.archive.org/web/20120328125134/http://owlcityblog.com/2010/10/25/my-hope-is-found/ It's on his blog].
** There are a couple more coming up on his new album; [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTIjvreXJAQ Galaxies] being a notable one that got leaked, and being an example that is a lot of fun, even if you're not religious.
** Also, said new album is called ''All Things Bright and Beautiful''. As in, the name of a hymn.
