I’m finally updating my Owl City Database blog. Put some new links in, as well as adding new entries on the “Blog Tracks”, “Christmas Songs”, “Singles List”, and “Cover Songs” List.

Beautiful Times Video Theory

As you probably know, the video for “Beautiful Times” released today, and is it just me or are there an incredible amount of references to his past videos. We get all the toys from the “Fireflies” video (the robot, the monkey, the rocket, the train, the fire engine, etc.). We also get a lighthouse (perhaps referencing “Vanilla Twilight”?). We also see Adam playing a similar, if not the same, keyboard from the “Shooting Star” video while he’s (get this!) in a city like the “Shooting Star” video. So is the kid in the video a grown up version of the kid from the “Umbrella Beach” video? or is he just supposed to reference the kid. He has an adventurous attitude hinted at by his goggles.

If there are more references please comment them.

mommahootowl said: The little tree drawing behind the kid and the tree Lindsey Stirling is sitting under are evocative of ATBAB. Also, as suggested by colakit, Adam is in a city where the colors are cycling through a spectrum; thus Ultraviolet. Neatly bookended.
