滬江英樂(lè):貓頭鷹之城樂(lè)隊(duì)是一支來(lái)自美國(guó)明尼蘇達(dá)州的電子音樂(lè)樂(lè)隊(duì)。樂(lè)隊(duì)僅由一名成員組成:亞當(dāng)·揚(yáng)(Adam·Young)。亞當(dāng)·揚(yáng)于2007年創(chuàng)建了該樂(lè)隊(duì),并且擔(dān)任樂(lè)隊(duì)的主唱、編曲、創(chuàng)作、混音合成工作。貓頭鷹之城樂(lè)隊(duì)的音樂(lè)飄逸、靈動(dòng),既有夢(mèng)幻的神秘色彩,又有電子音樂(lè)的動(dòng)感節(jié)奏。樂(lè)隊(duì)的主打歌曲《Fireflies》一經(jīng)推出就登上了各大音樂(lè)之聲以及音樂(lè)榜單的冠軍寶座。受到樂(lè)迷的熱烈追捧。

貓頭鷹之城樂(lè)隊(duì)的音樂(lè)風(fēng)格是當(dāng)下最為流行、時(shí)尚的電子混音音樂(lè),但不同于傳統(tǒng)的電子舞曲所營(yíng)造出的喧鬧、躁動(dòng)不安的動(dòng)感音樂(lè)氛圍,貓頭鷹之城樂(lè)隊(duì)的電子音樂(lè)通過(guò)使用簡(jiǎn)單的電子樂(lè)器,摒棄了電子舞曲的樂(lè)器混雜使用,通過(guò)亞當(dāng)·揚(yáng)空靈飄逸的嗓音和精致的和聲,從而把廣大樂(lè)迷帶入了充滿夢(mèng)幻色彩并且活潑、躍動(dòng)的音樂(lè)奇異王國(guó)。貓頭鷹之城樂(lè)隊(duì)的音樂(lè)風(fēng)格在很大程度上受到了Disco 和歐洲電子音樂(lè)(European Electronic Music)的影響。同時(shí),在樂(lè)隊(duì)的音樂(lè)中還能聽(tīng)到合成器流行音樂(lè)(SynthPop)和新浪潮音樂(lè)(New Wave Music)的眾多元素。

《Shooting Star》-Owl City

Close your tired eyes, relaxing them.
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 pull 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 the 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,
so shine no matter where you are, tonight.

Wooh, wooh, wooh.
Brighter than a shooting star,
Shine no matter where you are, tonight.

Gazing through my eyes,
when the fire starts,
And fan the flame so hot,
it melt our hearts.
All the pouring rain,
will try to put it out, but not this time.

Let your colours burn,
and brightly burst, into a million sparks,
but all dispursed 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 the 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,
so shine no matter where you are, tonight.

Wooh, wooh, wooh.
Brighter than a shooting star,
Shine no matter where you are, tonight.

A thousand heartbeats beating time,
and 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 the 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,
so shine no matter where you are, tonight.

Wooh, wooh, wooh.
Brighter than a shooting star,
Shine no matter where you are, tonight.
