来自美国明尼苏达州奥瓦通纳（Owatonna, Minnesota）的大学二年级生，Adam Young，于2007年组建了Owl City乐队。他就是这支流行电子乐队的唯一成员，负责主音、合成器和编曲等工作。随之独立发行的首张专辑《Of June》，在2007年的夏天，为电音界吹来一股凉爽的清风。

2008年3月18日，Owl City第二张专辑《Maybe I’m Dreaming》问世。梦幻的标题，简洁的封面，如同糖衣包裹的声线和旋律，在这个春暖花开的季节再次捎来令人欣喜的清新气息。曲风是Electronica和Pop的完美融合，似乎又有一点Indie Rock的味道。饶有趣味的歌词有如抒情诗一般的迷人魅力，又颇具美学的魔力。你会惊叹于冰冷的键盘上怎能滑落如此圆润的音符，电子元素的巧妙运用使得整张专辑饱满而不失利落，跃动着生机盎然的温情。Adam Young在他的MySpace上写到，由于失眠的缘故，大部分歌曲都是在凌晨的时候制作出来的。清晨的第一滴露水和青草的芳香，已无形地渗透到Owl City的音乐里，自然灵动的氛围贯穿其中。《The Saltwater Room》和《Air Traffic》后半段出现的女声好像奶油一样，甜甜的与曲子的整体气质都很搭。此外《Rainbow Veins》和《Dear Vienna》也都是重点推荐的曲目。让四月的好心情伴随好音乐蔓延。

他的声音象少女倾诉心事一样温文细气,但对旋律节奏的掌握却十分到位.Of June这张EP就以欢快的电子旋律征服了不少听众,象宝石般闪烁明亮.而首张专辑Maybe I'm Dreaming在演绎方面Owl City显然更加投入,从精致的和声到深情的合唱,Owl City的个人魅力也越加凸现.甜蜜的声线清新的电子音乐,这貌试简单的配搭却被Owl City演绎得绚丽多彩,尽管夏日未到但已仿佛感受到那份清爽的惬意！

The saltwater room歌词：

I opened my eyes last night and saw you in the low light〖昨夜睁开双眼 看见你在那昏暗的灯光下〗

Walking down by the bay, on the shore〖沿着海湾 漫步沙滩〗

Staring up at the planes that aren't there anymore〖凝望着天空中早已不在的飞机〗

I was feeling the night grow old〖漫漫长夜 若是有情也已经衰老〗

And you were looking so cold〖你看起来如此的冷漠〗

Liking an introvert〖犹如一个内敛的人〗

I drew my over shirt around my arms and began to shiver violently〖披上我残旧的衬衣 开始猛烈的颤抖〗

Before you happened to look〖你无意的一瞥〗

And see the tunnels all around me〖看见了环绕在我身边的隧道〗

Running into the dark underground〖向着地底那无尽的黑暗延伸〗

All the subways around created a great sound〖地道里的声音响彻云霄〗

To my motion fatigue: farewell〖跟我疲惫的身心说再见〗

With your ear to a seashell〖你的耳朵贴紧海贝壳〗

You can hear the waves in underwater caves〖就能听见深海洞穴里海浪的声音〗

As if you actually were inside a saltwater room〖仿佛你真的置身于深海空间一般〗

间奏【两个八拍】

Time together isn't ever quite enough〖相聚的时间总是觉得不够〗

When you and I are alone, I've never felt so at home〖当你和我都独自一人时 从来没有家的感觉〗

What will it take to make or break this hint of love?〖制造或打破这爱情线索的代价是什么〗

only time, only time〖仅仅需要时间 仅仅需要时间〗

When we're apart whatever are you thinking of〖当我们分开的时候 不管对方想什么都无所谓〗

If this is what I call home, why does it feel so alone?〖如果这就是所谓的家 为何感觉如此孤独〗

So tell me darling, do you wish we'd fall in love?〖告诉我 亲爱的 你希望和我相爱吗〗

All the time, all the time〖一直相爱...永远相守...〗

Can you believe that the crew has gone〖你能相信那些人群已经远去〗

And they wouldn't let me sign on?〖且不在我记忆中留下任何痕迹吗?〗

All my islands have sunk in the deep〖我已经泥足深陷 无法自拔了〗

And I can hardly relax or even oversleep〖所以我根本无法放松入睡 更不用说睡过头了〗

When I feel more with your hand in mine, when we walk along the shore line 〖当我牵着你的手漫步于海滩时〗

I guess I'll never know why sparrows love the snow〖我猜我永远也不会知晓麻雀喜爱雪的理由〗

We'll turn off all of the lights and set this ballroom aglow〖我们将要关上所有的灯 让这舞厅一片火红〗

So tell me darling, do you wish we fall in love?〖告诉我 亲爱的 你希望和我相爱吗〗

All the time〖一直相爱〗

Time together isn't ever quite enough〖相聚的时间总是觉得不够〗

When you and I are alone, I've never felt so at home〖当你和我都独自一人时 从来没有家的感觉〗

What will it take to make or break this hint of love?〖制造或打破这爱情线索的代价是什么〗

We need time, only time〖我们需要时间 仅仅需要时间〗

When we're apart whatever are you thinking of〖当我们分开的时候 不管对方想什么都无所谓〗

If this is what I call home, why does it feel so alone?〖如果这就是所谓的家 为何感觉如此孤独〗

So tell me darling, do you wish we'd fall in love?〖告诉我 亲爱的 你希望和我相爱吗〗

All the time, all the time〖一直相爱...永远相守...〗

Time together is never quite enough〖相聚的时间总是觉得不够〗

When we're apart whatever are you thinking of〖当我们分开的时候 无论你在想什么〗

What will it take to make or break this hint of love?〖制造或打破这爱情线索的代价是什么〗

So tell me darling, do you wish we fall in love?〖告诉我 亲爱的 你希望和我相爱吗〗

All the time...〖永远相爱...〗
