Having remixed Owl City’s “Umbrella Beach” last year, Long Lost Sun have a bit of a history with whimsical music maker Adam Young. They’re currently keeping the synth-pop ball rolling by lending their mixing skills to the one-man band yet again, for new single “Alligator Sky.” Hear the Long Lost Sun mix of OC’s latest below.
This version of “Alligator Sky” whips dreamy keyboard riffs, insistent hand claps and upbeat production into a giddy Owl City-esque wall of sound. We snatched this rendition up as soon as it came to our attention. But, like magic, it appears to have disappeared—except for here.
“Where was I when the rockets came to life and carried you away to the alligator sky?” Young wonders on the tune. Later, Shawn Chrystopher raps, “I sit on my star I see street lights / Look up, you’ll miss me if you blink twice.”
Owl City feat. Shawn Chrystopher - Alligator Sky (Long Lost Sun Remix)
“Alligator Sky” features on Owl City’s Ocean Eyes follow-up All Things Bright And Beautiful, which is out June 14. Young heads out on a summer tour the day before.
AAAAAARRRRGGHHH!!!! this is sooo cool!!! i want to download it!! hahaha
This is pretty awesome. but i prefer the original. But adam’s trying to help out the band Long Lost Sun. I think that the umbrella beach remix is better tho :D
I love this! In a very, very good way, im surprised Adam did a totally different type of style. Rap? Owl City? The two dont go hand in hand. But anyway, any chance you can download this from somewhere?
i like u
I absolutely LOVE this except for the rap part. I’m sorry but rap just does not belong in any Owl City song, remix or otherwise. I want to be taken away to a dreamy, relaxing, happy place, not surrounded by gangsters.
i love it….but the ending’s too repititive….that girl sound..kinda irritating.
i’m a big owl city fan and i love this tune!!! but the rap part…?
Love this much more than the original ! :)
I really want to download it !
Love this song! :)
That’s not racist…
By the way, Adam decided to have a rap part, who are you to criticize him?

I feel like a child holding an ice cream cone on a summer heat, and looking up in a roller coaster ride below the alligator sky <3
