Owl City - Shooting Star - Live From Spotify NYC lyrics
[Owl City - Shooting Star - Live From Spotify NYC lyrics]
Close your tired eyes, relax and then
Count from 1 to 10 and open them
All these heavy thoughts will try
To weigh you down, but not this time
Way up in the air, you're finally free
And you can stay up there, right next to me
All this gravity will try to bring you down
But not this time
When the sun goes down
And the lights burn out
Then it's time for you to shine
Brighter than a shooting star
So shine no matter where you are
Fill the darkest night
With a brilliant light
'Cause it's time for you to shine
Brighter than a shooting star
Shine no matter where you are tonight
Woah, woah, woah
Brighter than a shooting star
Shine no matter where you are
Gaze into my eyes when the fire starts
And fan the flame so hot, it melt our hearts
Oh, the pouring rain will try to put it out
But not this time
Let your colors burn, and brightly burst
Into a million sparks that all disperse
And illuminate a world that'll try
To bring you down, but not this time
When the sun goes down
And the lights burn out
Then it's time for you to shine
Brighter than a shooting star
Shine no matter where you are
Fill the darkest night
With a brilliant light
'Cause it's time for you to shine
Brighter than a shooting star
Shine no matter where you are tonight
Woah, woah, woah
Brighter than a shooting star
Shine no matter where you are
A thousand heartbeats beat in time
It makes this dark planet come alive
So when the lights flicker out tonight
You gotta shine
When the sun goes down
And the lights burn out
Then it's time for you to shine
Brighter than a shooting star
So shine no matter where you are
Fill the darkest night
With a brilliant light
'Cause it's time for you to shine
Brighter than a shooting star
Shine no matter where you are tonight
Woah, woah, woah
Brighter than a shooting star
Shine no matter where you are, tonight
Thank you
So, on the new record you
Collaborate with everyone from
Like, Mark Hoppus from Blink
182 to Carly Rae, how
Do those collaborations come about?
Do you approach them, do
They approach you? Is it
Like, people in offices, or
Uh, it's kind of everything, but
It wasit was, I was
I'm lucky enough to say that I was just
Able to ask them and they
Were like "yeah let's
Let's do it, " I mean my manager, um
Grew up with Carly Rae's
Manager so he kind of put us
Together and I sent her
An email and said "Hey, would
You be interested in
In being on this duet called 'Good Time'
" and she said "yeah, I'm in, you know
Send me the files
" and we live in an age with the internet
So we didn't actually make the song in the
Same studio, we passed files back and
Forth, and the whole thing, so and
Mark, I grew up with Blink 182
You know, that's my generation, i
Learned playing guitar 'cause, 'cause of
Blink and stuff, so, uh, he came
Out here, I think he lives in
London, but he flew to, to
New York and spent a day in
The studio with my idol
You know they say never meet your idols
But Mark proved that wrong 'cause
He's so gracious and down to earth
And, and, it was great, so
Little things like that, I still can't
Believe they they all happened, you know?
I mean, your voices blend greatly, I
Mean, Carly Rae of course
You guys were great
The other night on, uh, America's Got Talent
Um, but you and Mark too
It's totally different styles but they just
Really mesh nicely on the record
Thank you
And then when you're touring now
Is it gonna be, um, full band format?
Yeah, there's, what is there, five of
Us onstage, um, it's like, how can you
Play a rock show and not have big
Like heavy not heavy, but big, like loud
Guitars, that's kinda like a thing we do
We do live you know, the, the record
Is very dance-y, electronic stuff but live
It's like, we have guitars and it's
It's to be Johnny Cash a little bit
But um but yeah so touring is like the
Plan between now and Christmas, you know
It'sit's going to be a long one but
But uh, it's good to make that shift
From studio mode to, to live mode
Tour mode 'cause it's so different from my
My life, so I can't wait, yeah
When are you back in New York for shows?
September 11th
There you go i just show up and
They say "play" and I play
Good, good, well
Well a lot of folks here want
To come and see you
Yeah, well, thank you
What, what do you have uhwhat's your final?
Uh, "Good Time", it's called
"Good Time" and it's, it's just that
Count from 1 to 10 and open them
All these heavy thoughts will try
To weigh you down, but not this time
Way up in the air, you're finally free
And you can stay up there, right next to me
