专辑简介

2008年3月18日，Owl City第二张专辑《Maybe I’m Dreaming》问世。梦幻的标题，简洁的封面，如同糖衣包裹的声线和旋律，在这个春暖花开的季节再次捎来令人欣喜的清新气息。曲风是Electronica和Pop的完美融合，似乎又有一点Indie Rock的味道。饶有趣味的歌词有如抒情诗一般的迷人魅力，又颇具美学的魔力。你会惊叹于冰冷的键盘上怎能滑落如此圆润的音符，电子元素的巧妙运用使得整张专辑饱满而不失利落，跃动着生机盎然的温情。Adam Young在他的MySpace上写到，由于失眠的缘故，大部分歌曲都是在凌晨的时候制作出来的。清晨的第一滴露水和青草的芳香，已无形地渗透到Owl City的音乐里，自然灵动的氛围贯穿其中。《The Saltwater Room》和《Air Traffic》后半段出现的女声好像奶油一样，甜甜的与曲子的整体气质都很搭。此外《Rainbow Veins》和《Dear Vienna》也都是重点推荐的曲目。让四月的好心情伴随好音乐蔓延。

他的声音象少女倾诉心事一样温文细气，但对旋律节奏的掌握却十分到位.Of June这张EP就以欢快的电子旋律征服了不少听众，象宝石般闪烁明亮。而首张专辑Maybe I'm Dreaming在演绎方面Owl City显然更加投入，从精致的和声到深情的合唱,Owl City的个人魅力也越加凸现。甜蜜的声线清新的电子音乐，这貌试简单的配搭却被Owl City演绎得绚丽多彩，尽管夏日未到但已仿佛感受到那份清爽的惬意!

专辑歌词

On The Wing

Breathe and I`ll carry you away into the velvet sky

And we`ll stir the stars around

And watch them fall away into the Hudson Bay

And plummet out of sight and sound

The open summer breeze will sweep you through the hills

Where I live in the alpine heights

Below the Northern Lights, I spend my coldest nights

Alone, awake and thinking of...the weekend we were in love

Home among the mountain tops can be so awfully dull

A thousand miles from the tide

But photos on the walls of New York shopping malls

Distract me so I stay inside

I wish the rockets stayed over the promenade

Cuz I would make a hook and eye

And fish them from the sky, my darling, she and I

We`re hanging on so take us high

To sing the world goodbye:

I am floating away

Lost in a silent ballet

I`m dreaming you`re out in the blue and I am right beside you

Awake to take in the view

Late nights and early parades

Still photos and noisy arcades

My darling, we`re both on the wing, look down and keep on singing!

And we can go anywhere

Are you there`

Are you there, or are you just a decoy dream in my head`

Am I home or am I simply tumbling all alone`

I am floating away

Lost in a silent ballet

I`m dreaming you`re out in the blue and I am right beside you

Awake to take in the view

Late nights and early parades

Still photos and noisy arcades

My darling, we`re both on the wing, look down and keep on singing!

And we can go anywhere

Are you there`

Are you there`

Rainbow Veins

High ri, veins of the avenue

Bright eyes and subtle variations of blue

Everywhere is balanced there like a rainbow above you

Street lights glisten on the boulevard

And cold nights make staying alert so hard

For heaven’s sake, keep me awake so I won’t be caught off guard

Clearly I am a pasrby but I’ll find a place to stay

Dear pacific day, won’t you take me away?

Small town hearts of the New Year

Brought down by gravity, crystal clear

City fog and brave dialogue converge on the frontier

Make haste, I feel your heartbeat

With new taste for speed, out on the street

Find a road to a humble abode where both of our routes meet

The silver sound is all around and the colors fall like snow

The feeling of letting go, I guess we’ll never know

Cheer up and dry your damp eyes and tell me when it rains

And I’ll blend up that rainbow above you and shoot it through your veins

Cuz your heart has a lack of color and we should’ve known

That we’d grow up sooner or later cuz we wasted all our free time alone

Your nerves gather with the altitude

Exhale the stress so you don’t come unglued

Somewhere there is a happy affair, a ghost of a good mood

Wide eyed, panic on the getaway

The high tide could take me so far away

VCR’s and motorcars unite on the Seventh Day

A popular gauge will measure the rage of the new Post-Modern Age

Cuz somewhere along the line all the decades align

We were the crashing whitecaps

On the ocean

And what lovely aside holiday, away

A palm tree in Christmas lights

My emotion

Struck a sparkling tone like a xylophone

As we spent the day alone

Super Honeymoon

Glamour and fashion

Models and magazines... a striking runway entrance

Beauty and passion

Stardust and high class scenes of popular teens

When I lived in Denver, I met a millionaire

With ribbons in her blonde hair

I still remember

She was like a princess straight from a dreamy castle in the air

So lovely...

She was everything to me

Both alone in the dark

We long to e the sun

Ri over the Bering Strait

I was sick of the west

When I turned 21

So I moved to the Sunshine State

We played golf on the moon

And tennis on the sun

Like athletes of the afternoon

The solar flares burned my arms

And made her makeup run

On our super lunar honeymoon

I was the youngest son of a congressman

And everything was my fault...

She was a gymnast, happily swinging

On the uneven bars, tucked in a somersault

Both alone in the dark

We long to e the sun

Ri over the Bering Strait

I was sick of the west

When I turned 21

So I moved to the Sunshine State

We played golf on the moon

And tennis on the sun

Like athletes of the afternoon

The solar flares burned my arms

And made her makeup run

On our super lunar honeymoon

The Saltwater Room

I opened my eyes last night and saw you in the low light

Walking down by the bay, on the shore,

staring up at the planes that aren't there anymore

I was feeling the night grow old and you were looking so cold

Like an introvert, I drew my over shirt

Around my arms and began to shiver violently before

You happened to look and e the tunnels all around me

Running into the dark underground

All the subways around create a great sound

To my motion fatigue: farewell

With your ear to a ashell

You can hear the waves in underwater caves

As if you actually were inside a saltwater room

ime together is just never quite enough

When you and I are alone, I've never felt so at home

What will it take to make or break this hint of love?

We need time, only time

When we're apart whatever are you thinking of?

If this is what I call home, why does it feel so alone?

So tell me darling, do you wish we'd fall in love?

All the time, all the time

Can you believe that the crew has gone

and wouldn't let me sign on?

All my islands have sunk in the deep,

so I can hardly relax or even oversleep

I feel as if I were home some nights

when we count all the ship lights

I guess I'll never know why sparrows love the snow

We'll turn off all of the lights and t this ballroom aglow

~~So tell me darling, do you wish we’d fall in love?~~

Time together is just never quite enough

When you and I are alone, I’ve never felt so at home

What will it take to make or break this hint of love?

We need time, only time

When we’re apart whatever are you thinking of?

If this is what I call home, why does it feel so alone?

So tell me darling, do you wish we’d fall in love?

All the time, all the time

Time together is just never quite enough

When we’re apart whatever are you thinking of?

What will it take to make or break this hint of love?

So tell me darling, do you wish we’d fall in love?

All the time

Early Birdie

good evening, shuttle bus!

tell me where you're going to take us

'someplace that i have never been

it's chic transportation to new destination

where i leave my reflection on the glass

i'd ask but we don't know how far the interstates go

u003ecity roots go down

in chilly sub-depth railways

the weathered concrete stairways

provide me with a means of getting home' if i ever leave

on crystal sand, we sleep hand-in-hand

while soothing words hover like hummingbirds

so many sights to e so wake up like an early birdie

and we'll get a head start on the day

oh stained-glass skyways and crowded 6 lane highways

if i look back when i begin to leave, will they remember me'

circuit flights bend the lights when i am spent

and tour guides make happy brides feel heaven-nt

on crystal sand, we sleep hand-in-hand

while soothing words hover like hummingbirds

Air Traffic

the bird is here and we are off

to wherever tho wings take us.

the atmosphere is crawling with airlines

that wind through the clouds

and look down on the crowds.

relax your back and let the noi

sing you to sleep in my arms.

if you awake before we arrive

i will carry you down and i won't make a sound.

the scent is strong as we move on

and breathe in the pristine crime scene.

the fal veneer is old like a substitute volunteer from,

oh, some other year.

i'm just a show as far as i can tell,

so i paint my eyes a light green.

the silver beams are twirling and swirling

throughout your dreams like air traffic streams.

The Technicolor Pha

am the red in the ro, the flowers

on the blankets on your bedroom floor.

and i am the gray in the ghost that hides

with your clothes behind your clot door.

i am the green in the grass that bends back

from underneath your feet.

and i am the blue in your back alley view

where the horizon and the rooftops meet.

if you cut me i suppo i would bleed

the colors of the evening stars.

you can go anywhere you wish

cau i'll be there, wherever you are.

(wherever you are)

(wherever you are)

(i will always be your keys

when we are lost in the technicolor pha)

the black in the book

the letters on the pages that you memorize.

and i am the orange in the overcast

of color that you visualize.

i am the white in the walls that soak up

all the sound when you cannot sleep.

and i am the peach in the starfish on the beach

that wish the harbor wasn't quite so deep.

if you cut me i suppo i would bleed

the colors of the evening stars. (my darling)

you can go anywhere you wish

cau i'll be there, wherever you are. (my darling)

(wherever you are)

Sky Dive

I stood up and took a breath

and threw open the bay doors

Below the clouds I saw the coast

and beautiful Hawaii

Leaning back, the pilot smiled

and shouted Have a good trip!

I signed off and clod my eyes.

Then I was falling through the sky

Leaning back, the pilot smiled

and shouted Have a good trip!

I signed off and clod my eyes.

Then I was falling through the sky

THE END

Dear Vienna

I regarded the world as such a sad sight Until I viewed it in black and white Then I reviewed every frame and basic shape And aled the exits with caution tape Don`t refocus your eyes in the darkness And don`t remember this place unless I describe all the things that you cannot e And we`ll unravel the mystery Farewell, all my friends in textbooks, I`m going home Cuz my blood cells cannot depend on the weather in photographs There`s a light show out my window somewhere way up there Dear Vienna, are you singing` Dear Vienna, are you swinging` Dear Vienna, we were happy like the shades of May when we got carried away I regarded the world as such a sad sight Until I viewed it in black and white Then I reviewed every frame and basic shape And aled the exits with caution tape Don`t refocus your eyes in the darkness And don`t remember this place unless I describe all the things that you cannot e And we`ll unravel the mystery I was so far out of place Watching tho stars in outer space Cuz I am so far from where you are There`s a light show out my window somewhere way up there Dear Vienna, are you breathing` Dear Vienna, are you dreaming` Dear Vienna, we were happy like the shades of May when we got carried away

I'll Meet You There

If we could sit together a moment

and talk forever just to pass the time

I would smile as the shivers and chills run down my spine

when your eyes are locked on mine

Oh , we’ll fill the metro skies with country air

And when you clo your tired eyes, I’ll meet you there!

…I’ll meet you there

…I’ll meet you there

Deep inside of you there’s a ruby glow

And it gets brighter than you and I will ever know

There’s a rushing sound that surrounds us when we walk alone

And it’s everything we’ve never known

Wander down the street and I will be the pavement beneath your feet

If we could just be immobile for some time and finally figure out the way we feel

About the missing puzzle pieces and cloudy question marks that still look a bit surreal

Oh, I tend to disappear here and there

So concentrate and you’ll feel me everywhere

And we’ll fill the metro skies with country air

If you’re lost when you clo your eyes, I’ll meet you there!

…I’ll meet you there

…You could be anywhere

…I’ll meet you there

…You could be anywhere

…I’ll meet you there

…You could be anywhere

Open your eyes and e

everything you can be

This Is The Future

Wake up on your own

And look around you cuz you’re not alone

Relea your high hopes and they’ll survive

Cuz this is the future and you are alive

Dive in and swim away

From your loneliness and mirable days

And when you wake up on your own

Look around you cuz you’re not alone

Let your hopes go and they’ll survive

Cuz this is the future and you are alive

…You’re headed home

…You’re headed home

West Coast Friendship

Are you out there? Where the rainy days begin

To feel rather sad and walls are closing in like the darkness around me

It’s so hard to look away when the daylight doesn’t ever stay

Above this dull apartment view oh I will surround you

It’s quite clear that I’m stuck here

so I’ll devi a plan and cut out a door in my new living room floor

The porch light is so bright

that I will quickly sneak down the dark metal shape of the rusty fire escape

I bought a one-way ticket (first-class)

cuz I knew I’d never e the ground

Unless I was aboard a jet plane and we were going down

And I woke up beside the ocean and I realized

I must be in California

:rICky TanG

Aloha, my happy west coast friends

Do you feel alive when the breaking waves arrive and rush all around you?

The beach homes in Oceanside are quite well-known by the evening tide

And we can sleep where we reside with redwoods around us

The blue air is up there and could I bring it down,

I’d bottle it up and save it for a sweet summer night

I bought a one-way ticket (first-class)

cuz I knew I’d never e the ground

Unless I was aboard a jet plane and we were going down

When I wiped the tears from my eyes, the warm water took me by surpri

When I wiped the tears from my eyes, the warm water took me by surpri

And I woke up beside the ocean and I realized

I must be in California

I must be in California

Am I awake or is this just a dream?

:rICky TanG

The New Year is out here and

I will make a lovely list of your charms

so I’ll never feel alone in your arms

I must be in California

I must be in California

Oh my dear, I can feel you here
