Just when you were finally getting the inescapable hit "Fireflies" out of your head, Owl City, also known as the synth pop project by musical genius, Adam Young is back to claim your soul, in proud to announce the exclusive video premiere on his MySpace blog: "Oh hey! Guess what!? The brand-spankin' new "Vanilla Twilight" music video is now up for your optical enjoyment at OwlCityMusic.com! There are some seriously sneaky Shaq'in surprises, so keep your eyes peeled like an orange waiting to be eaten. Oh, and I'm considering moving into a lighthouse."
The longing pop ballad new single "Vanilla Twilight" is the second single off Owl City's second album, and Universal Republic's debut "Ocean Eyes." It's about Young's high school girlfriend, who moved away. He sings of lost love, the happy and painful memories that come with it, and moving on. The song features both piano and synthesizer instrumentation.
The awe inspiring video for "Vanilla Twilight" was shot in the snow-covered Historic North Side district of Pittsburgh, PA and re-teaming with the help of Steve Hoover (Director) and Danny Yourd (Producer) of Endeavor Media. Both made huge success of the chart-topper "Fireflies," went to No.1 in 22 countries around the world and has gone triple platinum since release.

"Vanilla Twilight" is a great example of a video taking a straight-ahead song about missing someone you love and turning it into something much bigger. Depending upon how you want to interpret it, via the video the song becomes a much bigger meditation on death and the signs that loved ones can send us after they shuffle off this mortal coil. In this case, the loved one is sending a big old hug via a gorgeous sunset that looks like of like the Northern Lights. What Young continues to do in his music is make it have a soul. He is a very inspirational person in the art and music field. It seems the new single, "Vanilla Twilight," is on the same trajectory, being certified gold and steadily climbing the charts around the globe.
