Lyrics
And I lie awake and miss you
Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere
'Cause I'll doze off safe and soundly
But I'll miss your arms around me
I'd send a postcard to you, dear
'Cause I wish you were here
I'll watch the night turn light-blue
But it's not the same without you
Because it takes two to whisper quietly
The silence isn't so bad
'Til I look at my hands and feel sad
'Cause the spaces between my fingers
Are right where yours fit perfectly
I'll find repose in new ways
Though I haven't slept in two days
'Cause cold nostalgia
[From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/o/owl-city-lyrics/vanilla-twilight-lyrics.html]
Chills me to the bone
But drenched in vanilla twilight
I'll sit on the front porch all night
Waist-deep in thought because
When I think of you I don't feel so alone
I don't feel so alone, I don't feel so alone
As many times as I blink
I'll think of you tonight
I'll think of you tonight
When violet eyes get brighter
And heavy wings grow lighter
I'll taste the sky and feel alive again
And I'll forget the world that I knew
But I swear I won't forget you
Oh, if my voice could reach
Back through the past
I'd whisper in your ear
Oh darling, I wish you were here
Why choose this song?
I have chosen this song as a consideration because it is also a contemporary song. The artist was not very well known until his number 1 single 'Fireflies' was introduced to the charts in 2010. However, I have chosen Vanilla Twilight because the lyrics would fit into a narrative and although it is a known song, it is not as popular as other songs by Owl City. The song is quite slow paced which is useful because it could easily fit a story in time with the lyrics and this means that the visuals would match the song. I also quite like the genre of this song, and it is quite unusual at the fact it is electropop, which is not regarded as popular as just pop or rock etc.
