we all suffer but we recover." Adam's struggles are listed with the lines "When did the sky turn black?" and "my life is so hard!" All of his lines talk about normal pains and normal people (cab driver, blood brother), imaginatively described (words like: vampire, spellbound, lighthouse) Then he gives us hope with lines like "I'm gonna survive." "The sun starting to rise." When the sky clears over a "healing heart", we see each day "these are beautiful times!"
Adam says about his song: "Deeply subjective and personal,... the essence of the track offers the idea that life is wonderful despite the burdens and afflictions that seek us out. It is an anthem for those who search for strength to rise above hardship."
Like his hit Fireflies, Owl City helps us rediscover the simple joys of "life where we all are."
Ask Yourself: Do I see the beautiful in these times?
