Got an email at 22
Told me I could be a star
On a plane for the first time
I couldn't wait to start
Landed at JFK
Father Christmas picked me up
Checked in to a dream hotel and I thought
"There's no such thing as luck"
I walked in to my interview
And I thought "There's no such thing as luck"
And oh, if I only knew then what I know now
I'd stand like a one-man band and I'd say
All this is new to me but
Here's how it's gonna be
And I'd say
"Hey, there is more to me than meets the eye
Let me be who I wanna be"
And I'd say
"Hey, I'm an oddity and that's all right
Let me fly and follow my dreams"
Then I'd say
"Hey thanks for the weekend
A good time was had by all"
And I'd say
"Hey thanks for the weekend
I ain't a smooth-talker but thanks for the Fiji water"
Dinner under a palm tree
I had so much on my mind
Amazed by the bright lights
I stayed up half the night
And boy I took a leap of faith
With nowhere else to go but up
I walked in to my interview
And I thought
"There's no such thing as luck"
And oh, if I only knew then what I know now
I'd stand like a one man band and I'd say
All this is new to me, but here's how it's gonna be
And I'd say
"Hey, there is more to me than meets the eye
Let me be who I wanna be"
And I'd say
"Hey, I'm an oddity and that's alright
Let me fly and follow my dreams"
And I'd say
"Hey, thanks for the weekend
A good time was had by all"
And I'd say
"Hey, thanks for the weekend
I ain't a spin doctor but thanks for the offer
And by the way
Hey thanks for the weekend
You know I had a ball"
And I'd say
"Hey, thanks for the weekend
I ain't a smooth-talker but thanks for the Fiji Water"
Thanks for the Fiji Water
I laughed when I got back home and I thought
"There's no such thing as luck"
The lyrics FIJI WATER of OWL CITY is also present in the album Cinematic (2018)
Owl City è un progetto musicale indie/synth pop statunitense creato da Adam Young nel 2007. Inizialmente attivo come artista indipendente, ha pubblicato due album prima di firmare con la Republic Records. La svolta arriva nel 2009 con l'album di debutto discografico *Ocean Eyes*, che raggiunge il successo internazionale grazie al singolo *Fireflies*. Il brano diventa un fenomeno globale, conquistando quattro dischi di platino negli Stati Uniti e consacrando Owl City come uno dei nomi più importanti del synth pop contemporaneo. *Ocean Eyes* viene certificato disco di platino nel paese nel mese di aprile 2010. Young continua a pubblicare musica con Owl City, esplorando sonorità elettroniche e atmosfere introspettive. Tra i suoi album successivi si ricordano *All Things Bright and Beautiful* (2011) e *Mobile Orchestra* (2015). Oltre ai singoli di successo come *Fireflies*, *Good Time* (in collaborazione con Carly Rae Jepsen) e *Vanilla Twilight*, Owl City è noto per le sue melodie orecchiabili, i testi evocativi e l'uso innovativo di sintetizzatori.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
