Listen to Owl City cover Rick Nelson's "Garden Party"

Owl City's new cover of “Garden Party” by Rick Nelson can be heard below. An excerpt of a description of the cover from Adam Young is below as well.

“I grew up with this song in my head but I never put it all together until recently, and when I did, I was pretty amazed because I can relate in a small way. Being under a microscope does something to you, makes you a caged animal, plants a primal instinct in you to strive to be the good guy always, no matter what, and sometimes life deals you a disaster and you don’t know how to take it. Similarly, I tend to deal with life by writing songs, and it seems this was Rick’s way of dealing with a curveball which I find admirable — because for an artist, what better way to deal with life than by writing about it? I like the bittersweet layer under the surface, I like the echoed themes of melancholy and disappointment. I like sad songs disguised as happy songs. I like honesty.”
