This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
I can finally see
That you're right there beside me
I am not my own
For I have been made new
Please don't let me go
I desperately need you
I am not my own
For I have been made new
Please don't let me go
I desperately need you
That you're right there beside me
I am not my own
For I have been made new
Please don't let me go
I desperately need you
I am not my own
For I have been made new
Please don't let me go
I desperately need you

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
This song is breathtakingly beautiful! It's a shame it's so short. The lyrics, though few, are so powerful... Adam Young is very religious, so this is a song expressing his utmost love for Him.
I am not religious, nor do I believe in god. In my perspective this song makes me think of my dad who died. I used to think I was alone but I know he's always here for me <3 "I can finally see, that you're right there beside me"
I love this song not only cause the background of it is so pretty, but also because it's one of Owl City's most Christian songs lyrically! It's probably my favorite off of the new CD.
My take on this song is that Adam is talking about being made new in Christ, or maybe just realizing that he's not his own because God created him, and he desperately needs God. It may sound sweet, but that's exactly what his relationship with God is! I absolutely love this song, especially the chorus. I think you can almost tell it's not about a human lover, by the line: "For I have been made new", referring to being made new in Christ, and other parts of the song.
But there is no right or wrong answer, it can speak to each person differently!
I love song and everything it's about. After the songs over, I always think in my head, "Amen." :)
I agree. So simple, yet beautiful. I'm so happy to hear these songs about God.
This song is absolutely beautiful. I am also very happy to hear Adam's songs about God. Very breathtaking.
This song... is simply beautiful. It may be short... but it does'nt need to be longer. He does'nt need to say more! This is exactly how every christian should feel about their relationship with their creator. It's not complicated... just... beautiful! I'm so glad I got to see this side of Owl City. :)
This song always makes me teary.
amazing song, definitely about God.
I never thought that Owl City only consisted of one man (Adam Young) or that he would be a christian. I was listening to this in the car and it kind of hit me. It's pretty cool to hear one of your favorite bands suddenly put out a worship song.
