Releasing the track as a free download, Owl City serves up the cheery jingle, “Humbug.” Filled with feel-good vibes and a desire to kick the holiday season off right, the lyrics are about when everything starts to go wrong … at least as far as gifts are concerned. With simple lines like “I wander around the store again and again/But all I do is shrug,” it’s enough to ramp up that gift anxiety in listeners, but the song’s main message remains true: when all else fails, you can always give your heart.
