Just got finished listening to this about 10 minutes ago. While I'm not a fan of Owl City, I'd say it's not a bad song overall.

"kicks ass"? no, but it sounds like a kick ass angels and airwaves song though. doesn't sound like that shitty fireflies song at all, but there's still way too much auto tune.

I got to agree with 2712 on this one.

Not bad, I like the chorus. The beginning did remind me of Angels & Airwaves though.

It definitely has an AVA feel to it. Kind of felt that during a lot of the track. He still sounds like a Death Cab wannabe... but he's still a pretty great dude... or well, they are still a pretty great band.. I forget if it's just one dude or a group. Definitely anything that sounds like Death Cab can pass at least a little bit for me. Mark Hoppus is always a baller.
And I know I said I needed space,

but I know I can't be comfortable in my own skin.

So when I say I'm scared to be alone, you know I mean it,

I'm just not ready to leave my room.

He loves AVA and he loves blink, I'm pretty sure he just felt like doing something with Mark and intentionally made it like those bands. He never really has real drums either like in this song. It's a pretty catchy track.

Fireflies is awesome. During a six hour drive to go skiing that song probably came on the radio like 10 times. But that was two years ago, but still awesome.

I like this song a lot (contrary to LP's Burn It Down). Very catchy !!
