OWL CITY

Owl City is an American electronica project created in 2007 in Owatonna, Minnesota; it is one of several projects by singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Adam Young. Young created the project while experimenting with music in his parents’ basement. Owl City developed a following on the social networking site MySpace, like many musicians who achieved success in the late 2000s, before signing with Universal Republic Records, now Republic Records, in 2008.

After two independent releases, Owl City gained mainstream popularity with the 2009 major label debut album Ocean Eyes, which includes the six-time Platinum single “Fireflies”. The album was certified Platinum in the United States in April 2010.

In June 2011, Owl City released its third studio album, All Things Bright and Beautiful, which was followed by The Midsummer Station in August 2012. Owl City has recorded songs for several animated films, including Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole, Wreck-It Ralph, The Croods and The Smurfs 2.^[2] Owl City also has released several charting singles, most notably “Good Time” and “Fireflies”.

Lyrics

Good Time

Whoa-uh-oh
It’s always a good time
Whoa-uh-oh
It’s always a good time

Woke up on the right side of the bed
What’s up with this Prince song inside my head?
Hands up if you’re down to get down tonight
‘Cause it’s always a good time

Slept in all my clothes like I didn’t care
Hopped into a cab, take me anywhere
I’m in if you’re down to get down tonight
‘Cause it’s always a good time

Good morning and good night
I’ll wake up at twilight
It’s gonna be alright
We don’t even have to try
It’s always a good time (Whooo)

Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
It’s always a good time
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
We don’t even have to try, it’s always a good time

…
