Music video: Owl City – “Vanilla Twilight”

“Vanilla Twilight” is the second single off Adam Young’s second album Ocean Eyes.  It follows the chart-topping “Fireflies” I’m sure you’ve been inundated with on the radio.  But do yourself a favor and download the entire album, it’s pure ear candy.  This music video finds Young back on his synthesizer and features a bunch of people staring up into a beautiful sky, dropping everything they are doing and watching the swirling, colorful clouds in wonder.  Many speculate it’s symbolic of the rapture, or some sort of salvational revival.  Can’t help but smile in awe along with them.  (Why, hello Shaq.)

Music video: Owl City – “Fireflies”

Yeah I know this song has been out in the wild for some time now.  In fact, it’s been sitting in the upper half of the iTunes top ten chart for weeks now.  As of this writing it sits at #3 and the Ocean Eyes, the album it resides on, is at the #1 spot.  But for those of you who have not yet experienced Adam Young’s music video for the popular tune, do yourself a favor and watch it right now.  The kid’s a brilliant song writer and artist.  The music video holds an air of tranquility and chaos and best represents the conception and meaning behind the song.  Enjoy.
