沪江英乐：猫头鹰之城乐队是一支来自美国明尼苏达州的电子音乐乐队。乐队仅由一名成员组成：亚当·扬（Adam·Young）。亚当·扬于2007年创建了该乐队，并且担任乐队的主唱、编曲、创作、混音合成工作。猫头鹰之城乐队的音乐飘逸、灵动，既有梦幻的神秘色彩，又有电子音乐的动感节奏。乐队的主打歌曲《Fireflies》一经推出就登上了各大音乐之声以及音乐榜单的冠军宝座。受到乐迷的热烈追捧。

猫头鹰之城乐队的音乐风格是当下最为流行、时尚的电子混音音乐，但不同于传统的电子舞曲所营造出的喧闹、躁动不安的动感音乐氛围，猫头鹰之城乐队的电子音乐通过使用简单的电子乐器，摒弃了电子舞曲的乐器混杂使用，通过亚当·扬空灵飘逸的嗓音和精致的和声，从而把广大乐迷带入了充满梦幻色彩并且活泼、跃动的音乐奇异王国。猫头鹰之城乐队的音乐风格在很大程度上受到了Disco 和欧洲电子音乐（European Electronic Music）的影响。同时，在乐队的音乐中还能听到合成器流行音乐（SynthPop）和新浪潮音乐（New Wave Music）的众多元素。

《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.
