WEST COAST FRIENDSHIP
Are you out there? Where the rainy days begin
To feel rather sad and walls are closing in like the darkness around me
It’s so hard to look away when the daylight doesn’t ever stay
Above this dull apartment view oh I will surround you
It’s quite clear that I’m stuck here
so I’ll devise a plan and cut out a door in my new living room floor
The porch light is so bright
that I will quickly sneak down the dark metal shape of the rusty fire escape
I bought a one-way ticket (first-class)
cuz I knew I’d never see the ground
Unless I was aboard a jet plane and we were going down
When I wiped the tears from my eyes, the warm water took me by surprise
And I woke up beside the ocean and I realized
I must be in California
Aloha, my happy west coastfriends
Do you feel alive when the breaking waves arrive and rush all around you?
The beach homes in Oceanside are quite well-known by the evening tide
And we can sleep where we reside with redwoods around us
The blue air is up there and could I bring it down,
I’d bottle it up and save it for a sweet summer night
I bought a one-way ticket (first-class)
cuz I knew I’d never see the ground
Unless I was aboard a jet plane and we were going down
When I wiped the tears from my eyes, the warm water took me by surprise
And I woke up beside the ocean and I realized
I must be in California
I must be in California
Am I awake or is this just a dream?
The New Year is out here and
I will make a lovely list of your charms
so I’ll never feel alone in your arms
I must be in California
I must be in California

WEST COAST FRIENDSHIP
西海岸的友誼
Are you out there? Where the rainy days begin
你已經離開了么?
To feel rather sad and walls are closing in like the darkness around me
這個雨季更加悲傷,周圍的牆壁變成的漆黑一片緊緊包圍著我。
It’s so hard to look away when the daylight doesn’t ever stay
白天永不停歇,眼望他處也變得困難起來
Above this dull apartment view oh I will surround you
如此,我也不屑於晦暗的公寓視野。
喔,我想在你身邊
It’s quite clear that I’m stuck here
很明顯的,我被困在這裡了
so I’ll devise a plan and cut out a door in my new living room floor
於是我想出了一個計畫,在新客廳的地板上開鑿出一扇門
The porch light is so bright
那入口處的光線十分明亮
that I will quickly sneak down the dark metal shape of the rusty fire escape
我偷偷地下進深色金屬形狀的走火通道(火災安全出口)
I bought a one-way ticket (first-class)
我買了一張單程機票(頭等艙的)
cuz I knew I’d never see the ground
因為我知道我將不會再看見這片土地了。
Unless I was aboard a jet plane and we were going down
除非我坐的是噴氣式飛機,而且我們還在不斷往下掉。
When I wiped the tears from my eyes, the warm water took me by surprise
我擦乾了眼中的淚水,這些暖暖的淚水讓竟我吃驚
And I woke up beside the ocean and I realized
我一醒來,身在海邊
I must be in California
我意識到,我一定是在加利福尼亞了
Aloha, my happywest coastfriends
你好(夏威夷語),我親愛的西海岸朋友
Do you feel alive when the breaking waves arrive and rush all around you?
當海浪涌到你身上將你包圍時,你能感受到那種生機活力么
The beach homes in Oceanside are quite well-known by the evening tide
And we can sleep where we reside with redwoods around us
我們能夠住在紅樹林裡睡覺休息
The blue air is up there and could I bring it down,
藍色的空氣就在我們頭頂,我能將它帶下來么
I’d bottle it up and save it for a sweet summer night
我會把它裝進瓶子,好好保存一個甜蜜的夏夜
I bought a one-way ticket (first-class)
我買了一張單程機票(頭等艙的)
cuz I knew I’d never see the ground
因為我知道我再也看不到這片土地了
Unless I was aboard a jet plane and we were going down
除非我是坐了一家噴氣式飛機,而且我們還在不停下墜
When I wiped the tears from my eyes, the warm water took me by surprise
我擦乾了眼中的淚水,這些暖暖的淚水讓竟我吃驚
And I woke up beside the ocean and I realized
我一醒來,身在海邊
I must be in California
我想我一定是在加利福尼亞
I must be in California
我一定是在加利福尼亞
Am I awake or is this just a dream?
我會醒來么?這只是一個夢么?
The New Year is out here and
新年已經不在了
I will make a lovely list of your charms
我會把你的魅力都列成一張可愛單子
so I’ll never feel alone in your arms
這樣我在你的臂彎里就不會感到孤單了
I must be in California
我一定是在加利福尼亞
I must be inCalifornia
我一定是在加利福尼亞
I must be in California
我一定是在加利福尼亞

住在明尼蘇達州的小城鎮裡,以前曾和朋友組成過多個樂團。
來自美國明尼蘇達州奧瓦通納(Owatonna, Minnesota)的大學生,於07年組建了Owl City樂隊。他就是這支流行電子樂隊的唯一成員,負責主音、合成器和編曲等工作。隨之獨立發行的首張EP《Of June》,2008年發行了首張專輯《Maybe I’m Dreaming》,隨後在2009年7月14日發行了他們的第二張專輯《Ocean Eyes 》。但他的主流廠牌的首張錄音室大碟《海洋之眼》(Ocean Eyes)令每個人為之振奮,尤其在金秋,他標誌性主打單曲《螢火蟲》(Fireflies)飛上了公告牌單曲榜的冠軍寶座。音樂風格 他的聲音就像少女傾訴心事一樣溫文細氣,但對旋律節奏的掌握卻十分到位.專輯以歡快的電子旋律征服了不少聽眾,像寶石般閃爍明亮.而首張專輯Maybe I'm Dreaming在演繹方面Owl City顯然更加投入,從精緻的和聲到深情的合唱,Owl City的個人魅力也越加凸現.甜蜜的聲線清新的電子音樂,這貌似簡單的配搭卻被Owl City演繹得絢麗多彩,儘管夏日未到但已仿佛感受到那份清爽和愜意。
Owl City只是美國大學生Adam Young一個人搞的樂隊。他深受80年代歐洲電子合成器和新浪潮音樂的影響。 Adam Young稱自己為一個“害羞的孩子”,他從2007年開始從事音樂行業。在簽約環球音樂之後,唱片公司通過廣播、網路和電視在內的全方位的媒體支持,將他這種帶有快樂催眠力量的歌曲滲透到了全美國人們的日常生活中。Owl City音樂中那對於活潑的電子節奏的神奇混音和豐富的旋律 最初是在他父母的地下室中創作出來的。他在《Fireflies》的MV中再現了這一場景,這首MV描繪的是一個和善的歌手在他理想中的地下室環境中表演他的歌曲。這支MV在Youtube上擁有令人驚訝的超過850萬的點擊量,在VH-1電視台和其他電視機網路平台上有超高的播放量。從人口僅為22,000的明尼蘇達小城走出來的Adam Young,用歌聲傳達了一種異常簡單快樂的情緒,但正是這樣的小情緒卻牢牢抓住了聽眾的耳朵和心靈,成為當今紛繁樂壇的一股清新潮流。他管他自己家的地下室叫“山洞”,他在那裡製作了專輯中大多數歌曲,包括《Cave in》, 《the saltwater room》, 《Umbrella Beach》, 《Dental Care》和登上iTunes榜單的《Vanilla Twilight》。
