this is the most un-owl city song to date. The lyrics has a hint of Adam Young's whimsical touch, but everything seems to be taken over, having the rough Dr. Luke synthesizers and ridding away of any twinkly synth beats that made Owl City lovable. This sounds like a generic pop song. It even sounds like a One Direction song. It also doesnt make you think because the lyrics are blatantly spread out for you. This song is about someone complaining about a girl he loved made him promises that she took away after they broke up. I would have forgiven this because Young usually finds a way to creatively express simple emotions but here its just flat out. I still love Owl City and cannot wait for The Midsummer Station, but i hope this is not the main example of what the album is.
@oceanheart13- That is absolutely not true!!! Have you even SEEN the album?! Or at least the Wikipedia page?! The only song in all of Owl City that he DIDN'T write was Gold. He totally did write Shooting Star, I should know because it's been my favorite song ever since it came out.

This and Dementia are only the songs off of Shooting Star that Adam himself composed.
