one of my favourite joys in this life is reading/hearing about music that strikes a chord with people. this piece was a really lovely peek into your heart! i am so glad you had Owl City to guide and meet you where you needed their lyrics most (through what you've witnessed and continue to carry!). although i have not listened to OC much, i did want to say thank you for such a thoughtful write (as a mewithoutyou listener, runner and someone who also uses music as its own breath!). <3
Thanks for reading! We all have a music artist who played this sort of role in our lives, and I love hearing about others’ as well. What’s your favorite mewithoutyou song?
it's so true! and they stick with you! oh boy, i love both of his albums "it's all crazy" "ten stories" in full. but i have "the fox, the crow and the cookie" on my running playlist and it never fails to make me both grin at his exceptional lyrical layering, and also run a little faster towards a post-run carb load. haha!
As a fellow synesthete whose life was saved by Owl City (except in middle school), this post has my heart. 🌠
Oh, I’d love to hear more! In what ways did his music impact you?
So good!
Thank you, Ramona!
I’m a big Owl City fan! I love his song Sons of Thunder! I’m listening to Galaxies right now
I haven’t heard that one, I don’t think! But I do love Galaxies, too. :)
Sons of Thunder is on his new album Coco Moon.
Sons of Thunder is about eternity and speaks truth yet manages to be whimsical at the same time
I was listening to Owl City and mewithoutYou in 2009. I contain multitudes.

I’ll have to give those a listen! My classmate Kyle was obsessed with that band :)
let me know how you find it! it's definitely one of a kind! (also, i love hearing that you had classmates who enjoyed the band!!)
