Owl City

So just because a majority of my favorite bands are screamo or post-hardcore doesn't mean I don't like other genres. In fact if you put my ipod on shuffle it could go from The Devil Wears Prada to Demi Lovato. When I first heard Owl City it was about 4 years ago before they (he) wasn't as famous as he is now. The first song I heard was Rainbow Veins and i really liked it. I started listening to more of his music and got to know more like how it is a one guy band similar to Secondhand Serenade (but very different genres). Owl City is a one man band and the one mans name is Adam Young. He is a really talented man. He is really good at putting together electronic sounds along with creative lyrics. His songs are so odd the words seem like he was on some kind of drug while he was writing. His lyrics really sets him apart from other pop bands because the lyrics are much less cheesy. I own his album Ocean Eyes and it's a really inyteresting album. His song Metero Shower is one song that to me shows his Christian faith. In this song the words are " I am not my own for I have been made new" which is what happens when you accept Christ. A lot of people fight that Owl City is not Christian but this song says otherwise also I got his album at a Christian store. I hope that people will recognize that Owl City is a Christian band.
