童话都没有这般美好

夜深人静听完了猫头鹰之城的新专辑，很舒服，很奇妙，这不是一张那种容易上头和难忘的专辑，但如果你认真听完每一首歌，看了每一首歌的歌词，就不难发现，这一次，不再囿于旋律和节奏，更多的，是专辑所饱含的那种力量。

这种力量，就像专辑的封面，夜色中的一个杂货铺（玻璃上写着Owl city），有种《解忧杂货铺》般的温暖，为深夜赶路的行人，留下无尽黑夜中的最后一束光。像是一座灯塔，又像是一片港湾，给那些此时此刻感觉不那么好的人，一点发自肺腑的鼓励，「Who knows what the tide could bring」、「The most beautiful thing in the world Is to be so wonderfully alive」！

个人觉得这才是这张专辑最棒的地方，十一首歌像是十一个完整的故事，为了阐述不同的主题，完全不顾时长对播放量的影响，专注于表达自己想表达的；这十一个故事有不忘初心的坚守，有萍水相逢的邂逅，有患难与共的感悟、有感受过程的惊喜、有乘风破浪的洒脱、有咬牙坚持的嘶吼、有乐享生活的恣意、有保持幻想的童真、有全力以赴的努力、有爱好和平的呼吁、也有长情陪伴的爱恋。这张专辑，更像是一个迪士尼的冒险故事，不仅适合作为童话讲给小朋友们，更适合作为一剂强心剂，给那些用心生活的人，一个暖暖的拥抱。

不仅如此，十一首歌的歌词都写的超级用心，辞藻优美到随便摘抄一段，都是优秀作文的好苗子，哈哈哈~

Adam, Check Please

不忘初心，心怀感激。

God bless the helpful smile in every aisle

I couldn't ask for more

And I'm glad I got my first real job

Working in this grocery store

So chase your passion and not your paycheck

Be proud of what you have

Under the Circus Lights

马戏团的邂逅故事。爱而不得，才是最好。

I noticed the girl on the flying trapeze

Blink back a tear with the greatest of ease

I thought as the girl on the flying trapeze

Melted my heart with the greatest of ease

And that's how the girl on the flying trapeze

Knocked me off my feet with the greatest of ease

When the girl on the flying trapeze

Magically dissolved like a song on the breeze

And simply broke my heart with the greatest of ease

Kelly Time

也许是虚构的冒险，确是满含真理的人生感悟。

I'm ready for anything

Who knows what the tide could bring

It made me realize

That the most beautiful thing in the world

Is of course the gift of life

The most beautiful thing in the world

Is to be so wonderfully alive

Field Notes

也许从来都没有藏宝图，宝藏总是藏在寻找的途中。

You might call it foolish but I call it faith

Trusting in God so gladly you can hardly wait

And that's how I learned how a rich fella accounts

It's treasure in heaven not under the ground

'Cause betting the farm is well worth the risk

To carefully keep such a beautiful gift that's yours forever

It's a pretty good deal

There's a couple of things more precious than gold

One is your heart and the other's your soul

And you've got something you need that nobody can steal

It's a fable you see and the moral is this

Your heart's with your treasure wherever it is

And trust me when you dig a treasure will be revealed

And you never know what could be buried in the middle of a field

Sons of Thunder

展翅飞翔，乘风破浪。

And even though we are strange and exquisitely scarred

We won't need to pretend to be anything we aren't

You were made to run and not be faint

So take heart wild one for there is a God

The Tornado

嘶吼着坚持到最后，逆风翻盘。

It's always darkest before the dawn

Vitamin Sea

休假！什么都不是生活的全部，所以想休假就去吧~

And I need a vacation

I'm on vacation

And I think I'm gonna stay forever

Dinosaur Park（足有六分半）

保持童真，自由幻想。魔法并没有消失，只是变了模样。

In Dinosaur Park long after dark

I wonder what happens there

When no one's around

Does some kind of magic fill the air

Learn How to Surf

顺势而为，全力以赴。

You gotta go with the flow 'cause the tides always turnin'

And sink or swim divin' in is the best way to learn

Kick up the sand 'cause your tan proves you lived through the burn

And when you wipe out it's gonna hurt

You can't stop the waves but you can learn how to surf

And by the way it's okay it could always be worse

Yeah when you wipe out it's gonna hurt

You can't stop the waves but you can learn how to surf

The Meadow Lark

和平赞歌，赐予恩典。

On wings arrived a tiny bird

And troubled not by war or peace

She sang for us a melody

My Muse

陪伴书写美好爱恋。

But how the time does fly and years go by it's crazy

We both got sick and hurt and sad a time or two

But how I love you more and more and after all that we've been through
