Owl City’s Adam Young checked in with fans on his blog at MySpace on Thursday (January 14), talking about the breakout success he’s enjoyed thanks to ‘Fireflies’ and upcoming tour plans. The synthpop artist writes:
I can’t even to being to express how amazed I am at the way music transcends distance and takes every type of “formula” for success and flushes it down the loo… in the most weird and awkward-semi-romantic way possible. What I mean to say is that I’m overwhelmed with joy to be allowed such opportunities to visit places I NEVER dreamed I’d EVER have the chance to see… and to show up and hear people singing the words to songs that came from my heart and soul in a little town in chilly Minnesota?!?! I find myself changing my diapers constantly.
All that to say, I am left far beyond speechless at your support and kindness. I’ve said it all before, but please allow me to reiterate: Silent gratitude isn’t much use to anyone so I’d like to thank you from the bottom of my heart. You encourage me in more ways than I know how to describe. I treasure you all.
