Owl City Road Interview with Yahoo! →
experimentalocean:
I’m sorry if someone already posted this, but I ran across it as I was chasing bunnies (I have a thing for rabbit trails). My favorite part: where he talks about how important it is to have direct contact with fans. He’s right. It’s one of the reasons I have so much appreciation for him and the live band - they are so sweet and always talking with the fans, and that’s huge. I...

This interview is so sweet. The interviewer is obviously a serious fan of Adam’s work and really seems to “get” where Adam is coming from.
Also, Adam confirms that the Oreo jingle was done by others and he just recorded it but it is amazing to me how much it sounds like something he would have written.

Adam Young narrates an Oreo commercial →
The other commercial, 30 seconds long, asks what would happen if “I gave an Oreo to somebody out there who I didn’t know.” The narrator wonders, “Would they laugh after I’d gone, or would they pass that wonder on?” (The narrator is Adam Young, who performs as Owl City.)

Owl City Shaw Connect Interview (2013)
enchanting-road:
ShawConnect caught up with Young to talk about the adventurous album, the pop sensibility of his music and what life has been like since the release of his platinum debut Ocean Eyes.
“I used to hate pop music in high school for all the wrong reasons. I learned over the years to love it, at first I was more about the less fluffy stuff – that’s just where my mind goes, songs that...

adamyoungofficial:
The more I create music and chase the high I get from it, the more I realize the worst thing you can do is become a prisoner of your own style. To do so places you under a tyranny of self-dependency to ultimately sustain yourself which is impossible, and without innovation or regeneration,…

Hard work has paid off for Owl City

Owl City consists of the one (and the only) Adam Young, a guy from Owatonna, Minn., who used to work dead-end jobs,...

adamyoungofficial:
You do not lose your own personality when by faith you take your place with Christ in death. On the contrary, a transformation takes place within your personality. You simply come under new management.
“Therefore if any person is ingrafted in Christ, he is a new creation; the old, previous moral…

Wow. Tonight was the kind of night you remind yourself to soak in the vivid colors, raw energy, and waves of emotion because you’ll want to savor them when they’re gone. I’m so honored to be here, so blessed to know the people around me, and so thrilled to live by the grace I’ve been given. I feel undeserving just knowing I’m part of a master plan that’s so much bigger than I...

adamyoungofficial:
The itch of self-regard craves the scratch of self-approval. That is, if we are getting our pleasure from feeling self-sufficient, we will not be satisfied without others seeing and applauding our self-sufficiency.
This is ironic. Self-sufficiency should free the proud person from the need to be made much of by others. That’s what sufficient means. But evidently there is a...
