Owl City "The Midsummer Station"

   Welcome aboard The Midsummer Station, these may be just words, but what you see depends on imagination. Or am I the only one who sees that whale? Talk about impatience! When you’re through with rolling your eyes we can use them to replace those we lost on the train. You don’t need them during an unconscious ride. “Shut the F--- up!” We are headed for Owl City, and with these guests, what a pity. I was hoping to enjoy it. Prepare for warp drive through “Dreams and Disasters.” Anybody hear that middle-eastern vibe or country twang? I’m not sure which. Hello, everybody left already. Stargate helped produce this “Shooting Star.” It’s kind of funny because the name is S…but I’m not laughing, and you might not be either. The pulse of the song is a dance club beat, but the heart of it is coming from the anthemic angels and airwaves.  As the majority of you can be annoyed or indifferent I will avoid the “bullsnit” and just tell you that this next song is “Gold;” from the uplifting lyrics, which could be about anyone with a dream,  to that rhythm. Ahhh, I be a fool for me gold, and no finer find than that at sea or ground below. However, once it’s spent it be gone, but this may stay forever!                                                                                                                One of the symptoms of fame can be “Dementia.” Not everybody experiences the same level of this malady, but it can wear at your mind; if you let it. Mark Hoppus is in this song (holy f---) cannot forget it!You may see a stream of colors in the rainbow, but there is no oxygen out there; the shock of it, prepare? I like the vehicle he uses to describe this type of scenario; a police car. “How fast are we actually traveling?” Going faster than the speed limit, and so fast that the police officer won’t even see us pass; this may be cheesy, but we’re going at the “Speed of Love.” If you are not having a “Good Time” then maybe this will lighten the mood. It features that beautiful girl who lacks confidence, and how can you call someone maybe? “As a nickname.” That’s just weird; celebrities naming their offspring after fruits and other things. Oh, the eyes roll again. “Embers” can refer to passion of pursuing a career streamlined to your interests: “And you'll find there'll be mornings/When the ashes and embers are cold.” The strings are a nice addition, and the drums seem oddly aggressive at times. “Silhouette” refers to subject previously referred to, but is more introspective spotlight piano number, and sounds like it was inspired by fellow co-writer Matt Thiessen; even though he did not help write this one. We’re going to take a little detour; everything is starting to look gray, and the stream is fading. Buckle up, because “Like a hijacked plane or a runaway train/Or a speeding bullet, there's no stopping this!” Young may have left his eyes in “Metropolis,” to be guided by Thiessen, but this song is still strictly his. You better be buckled right now because we’re goiiiiing Dooooooowwwwwwwwwn! Tough guy, you look like a dear in headlights, are you ok? We’re here, oh, and any luggage or baggage you may have brought with you? Please “Take It All Away.” I don’t need any more. The best songs are: Dreams and Disasters, Gold, Speed of Love, Good Time, Silhouette, and Take it all Away.
