Sneaky Sound System in Chicago

Sneaky Sound System in Chicago!!! I brought my camera and recorded some of the show. They don't get by here very often. I was a little disappointed that there were so few people there, but I guess the only reason I really know about them is because I've been to Oz a few times. Enjoy the show!

Musical Interlude - What a Wonderful World

I think I have a soundtrack... this song, Louis Armstrong's rendition of "What a Wonderful World" seems to follow me around. I've always loved the song, and I seem to hear it a lot when I'm traveling. Most recently, it was playing in the Sarasota Classic Car Museum when I first walked through the doors. Last August, it was playing inside the elevator of Coit Tower in San Francisco. Whenever I hear it, I smile.

In the movie they'll make about me one day long after I'm gone, this will be the song that plays over the opening credits.



I see trees of green........ red roses too
I see them bloom..... for me and for you
And I think to myself.... what a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue..... and clouds of white
The bright blessed day.... the dark sacred night
And I think to myself..... what a wonderful world.

The colors of a rainbow..... so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces..... of people going by
I see friends shaking hands..... sayin how do you do
They're really saying...... I love you.

I hear babies cry...... I watch them grow
They'll learn much more..... than I'll ever know
And I think to myself..... what a wonderful world.

Yes... I think to myself.... what a wonderful world.

On The Wing

On The Wing - Owl City
(I took the photos myself from airplane windows)

SunsetoverMichiganbyyou.


Breathe and I'll carry you away into the velvet sky
And we'll stir the stars around and watch them fall away
Into the Hudson Bay and plummet out of sight and sound
The open summer breeze will sweep you through the hills
Where I live in the Alpine heights
Below the northern lights I spend my coldest nights alone awake
And thinking of the weekend we were in love
(The weekend we were in love)

TorontoDay1a054byyou.

Home among these mountain tops can be so awfully dull
A thousand miles from the tide
Put photos on the walls of New York shopping malls
Distract me so I stay inside

LeavingChicagoAgainbyyou.

I wish the rocket stayed over the promenade
'cuz I would make a hook and eye
And fish them from the sky
My darling she and I were hanging on so take us high
To sing the world goodbye

CloudSeabyyou.

I am floating away lost in a silent ballet
I'm dreaming you're out in the blue and I am right beside you
Awake to take in the view
Late nights and early parades
Still photos and noisy arcades
My darling we're both on the wing
Look down and keep on singing and we can go anywhere

Are you there
(Are you there)
(Are you there)
(Are you there)

Or are you just a decoy dream in my head
Am I home or am I simply tumbling out alone

SanDiegobyyou.

I am floating away
(Floating away)
Lost in a silent ballet
(Silent ballet)
I'm dreaming you're out in the blue and I am right beside you
Awake to take in the view

TorontoDay1a059byyou.

Late nights and early parades
(Early parades)
Still photos and noisy arcades
(Noisy arcades)

My darling we're both on the wing look down and keep on singing
And we can go anywhere

Are you there
(Are you there)
(Are you there)
(Are you there)

TorontoDay4a024byyou.
