"Reality Is A Lovely Place But I Wouldn't Want To Live There"

Today's song of the day is "The Bird And The Worm" by Owl City. Owl City was the first band that I ever fell in love with. The man behind this band, Adam Young, makes his music so cute and optimistic that it's hard to hate it, though many people do. I like a lot of dark, miserable music, so Adam Young's optimistic electronic pop music always puts an instant smile on my face. This music is almost like an escape from the real world, because Adam Young creates a new, perfect, candyland-like, fantasy world in his lyrics. In his world, there's such thing as avalanches of fruit, technicolor phases, and vanilla twilights. As a writer, I look up to other writers. Adam Young is a huge inspiration to me. His writing sounds a little nonsensical at first, but if you actually read it, there is meaning behind every song he writes. "The Bird And The Worm" is about being in love. It's a sweet song, and it's fun to play on the guitar.

"You're the bird, I'm the worm, and it's plain to see that we were meant to be"
I guess that's all for today. Wow, the only thing I even talked about was Owl City. Oh, well. What else do I have to talk about?
