'''Hot Air Balloon''' is a song by [[electronica]] artist [[Owl City]]. It was released as a digital single to [[iTunes]] (along with its companion single [[Strawberry Avalanche]]) to help promote the forthcoming album [[Ocean Eyes]]. It is featured in the 'Deluxe Edition' of the album.
== Meaning ==
Lyrically, the song is about his dreams and longing to escape to the sky. [[Adam Young]] told Female First that it is "...a carefree song about adventure and exploration. Looking down on the world, leaning out and brushing the snow from evergreen branches, wondering where life will take you."<sup>1</sup>
== Critical Reception ==
Silence Killer stated that Owl City is "strumming his way along the border between the lands of Twee and Powerpop territory" and continued to say that you should "Leave your jacket behind, clouds wouldn't dare come between the sunshine and Owl City."<sup>2</sup>

The kidnapper had read that Whittle had been left a considerable sum of money (£82,000—almost half a million pounds compared to 2007 figures) by her late father George (who died in 1967 at the age of 62), who ran a successful [[Coach (vehicle)|coach]] company, one of the largest in the country, based at [[Highley]] and [[Kidderminster]]. | + | On 14 January 1975, Whittle was kidnapped from the bedroom of her home in [[Shropshire]], [[England]].

The kidnapper had read that Whittle had been left a considerable sum of money (£82,000—almost half a million pounds compared with 2007 figures) by her late father George (who died in 1967 at the age of 62), who ran a successful [[Coach (vehicle)|coach]] company, one of the largest in the country, based at [[Highley]] and [[Kidderminster]]. | | | | | | | | A series of police bungles and other circumstances meant that Whittle's brother Ronald was unable to deliver the ransom money to the place and time demanded by the kidnapper, who, it is widely believed, pushed Whittle off the ledge in the drainage shaft where he had tethered her in Bathpool Park, at [[Kidsgrove]], [[Staffordshire]], strangling her. An alternative to this scenario is that Neilson was not even there when Lesley died and that in fact he fled on the night of the failed ransom collection without returning to the shaft after he panicked, believing the police were closing in on him, leaving Lesley alive in the dark surrounded by rats and other vermin to slowly starve for a considerable period of time before falling to her death. If the police had searched the park and the shaft the morning after Ron Whittle's attempt to deliver the ransom the story might have had a very different ending. Whittle's body was found on 7 March 1975, hanging from a wire at the bottom of the shaft. The subsequent post-mortem examination showed that Lesley had not, in fact, died slowly from strangulation but instantaneously from vagal inhibition. The shock of the fall had caused her heart to literally stop beating. The pathologist, Dr John Brown, reported that this would have been induced by high blood pressure in her carotid artery, caused by the constrictive wire loop around her neck triggering an alarm to her brain via the vagus nerve. The brain's response to this urgent signal for a reduction in artery pressure would be to slow down radically the heart and when that failed, her heart stopped altogether and she died. The pathologist noted that Lesley weighed only 98lbs when found, her stomach and intestines were completely empty, she had lost a considerable amount of weight and was emaciated. Even if Neilson's assertions that he fed her chicken soup, spaghetti and meatball and bought her fish and chips and chicken legs were callous lies and the last time she actually ate was around 7 o'clock on the evening of January 13th this would only leave a window of around 80 hours for her to have lost the weight if the allegation that Neilson pushed her to her death in the early hours of January 17th is to stand scrutiny. | | A series of police bungles and other circumstances meant that Whittle's brother Ronald was unable to deliver the ransom money to the place and time demanded by the kidnapper, who, it is widely believed, pushed Whittle off the ledge in the drainage shaft where he had tethered her in Bathpool Park, at [[Kidsgrove]], [[Staffordshire]], strangling her. An alternative to this scenario is that Neilson was not even there when Lesley died and that in fact he fled on the night of the failed ransom collection without returning to the shaft after he panicked, believing the police were closing in on him, leaving Lesley alive in the dark surrounded by rats and other vermin to slowly starve for a considerable period of time before falling to her death. If the police had searched the park and the shaft the morning after Ron Whittle's attempt to deliver the ransom the story might have had a very different ending. Whittle's body was found on 7 March 1975, hanging from a wire at the bottom of the shaft. The subsequent post-mortem examination showed that Lesley had not, in fact, died slowly from strangulation but instantaneously from vagal inhibition. The shock of the fall had caused her heart to literally stop beating. The pathologist, Dr John Brown, reported that this would have been induced by high blood pressure in her carotid artery, caused by the constrictive wire loop around her neck triggering an alarm to her brain via the vagus nerve. The brain's response to this urgent signal for a reduction in artery pressure would be to slow down radically the heart and when that failed, her heart stopped altogether and she died.
