    I was introduced into Owl City by my brother. He listened to Owl City a lot, and Fireflies was the first song I heard. Childhood memories come back when I hear this.

    I don't care who you are, Owl City's music can change anybody's mood from sadness to happiness instantly, this guy's songs are just so beautiful, it's legendary. There's always something special in his songs that is hard to avoid.

      Do you know Jesus Christ can set you free from sins and save you from hell today
      Jesus Christ is the only hope in this world no other gods will lead you to heaven
      There is no security or hope with out Jesus Christ in this world come and repent of all sins today
      Today is the day of salvation come to the loving savior Today repent and do not go to hell
      Come to Jesus Christ today
      Jesus Christ is only way to heaven
      Repent and follow him today seek his heart Jesus Christ can fill the emptiness he can fill the void
      Heaven and hell is real cone to the loving savior today
      Today is the day of salvation tomorrow might be to late come to the loving savior today
      Romans 6.23
      For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
      John 3:16-21
      16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
      Mark 1.15
      15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
      2 Peter 3:9
      The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
      Hebrews 11:6
      6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
      Jesus

    This came out at the end of my freshmen year in 2009. I’ll be 30 in June. I can’t believe how time just flew by, I didn’t believe it would and now I’m just in a nostalgic sad mood. If you’re young enjoy it.

      Matthew DragonBlade I live in Seattle, and I can vouch for the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. Also, our weather patterns are very strange, unpredictable, and have a huge variety. There could be a heatwave, yet snow could still be expected the following day, and arrive promptly. But to be honest, after living here for so long, you get used to it, and it's actually quite enjoyable :)

    Ughhhh, this takes me back so much. I fell in love with Owl City when I was 12...My best friend at the time introduced me to it. My life was so carefree then...Now I'm not friends with any of those people anymore and it feels like a lifetime ago. I'm 17 now, applying to college, but I still miss the times when I could chat with friends and fangirl about Adam Young. Haha, times change...

    I remember liatening to this song in fourth grade, about six years ago, when it first came out. Hehe, me and my friends made a small parody of it back then...
    Man, those were some good times. A little hazy now, but I remember it well... Things aren't like that anymore. Friends move, you lose contact with them, things don't always turn out great... I guess that's why I like this song so much. It brings me back to those old times. Without it, I would've probably forgotten by now...

      ***** I know exactly how you feel, my family is military so we move every three years or so. My childhood was spent in a cycle of making and being separated by friends. Each move was like hitting a reset button, I would try to stay connected to friends but connections would be lost. Now they exist for me only in fading memory. I have forgotten friends who I once held dear. Cherish your past, enjoy the present and strive to make a better future.

    • @itsonlyamazda4671
      @itsonlyamazda4671 9 лет назад

      HaloEliteLegend Yeah owl city brings back memories. Usually these songs remind me of 2010-past because those days were great. Its great memories when you remember you friends and fun times but it is sad when those days are gone. When all your favorite things you had during your childhood but then those things become old or obselte and eventually you have to say goodbye to friends, cars, computers, whatnot. Also around this time my Grandma was still alive and before 2006 my Grandpa was alive so this song brings back good and sad memories so Owl city makes me happy and sad. That's why I love Owl City. I remember all of these songs back in 09 and 08 but also 07. I miss these days a lot and I remember them just like yesterday.

    I don't usually comment on videos, but there's just something so special about this song. Not to get too sentimental, but it brings something back--like seeing an old friend after years and the overwhelming urge to laugh and cry all at once. I remember making these dorky rewrites of this song with a friend of mine back in grade school, and just hearing this song after like five years is just, I don't know, man. Wicked nostalgia. Damn.

A city full of incredible people and even better views! You can't beat enjoying a steak from the Space Needle all while overlooking the sunset over the Puget Sound!

    I love this song. I am from Seattle, and every time I watch something set in Seattle, it's always dreary and raining. This song doesn't focus on that, but on our beautiful city and accomplishments.

    This is is very beautiful, but if you guys don't know, it's actually very dark. In fact, those 'happy' songs that are beautiful and will forever be wistful and poetic, have a dark and senseful meaning if you listen closely to his words.

    Hello Seattle, I am a mountaineer
    In the hills and highlands
    I fall asleep in hospital parking lots
    And awake in your mouth
    Hello Seattle, I am a manta ray
    Deep beneath the blue waves
    I'll crawl the sandy bottom of Puget Sound
    And construct a summer home
    Hello Seattle, I am the crescent moon
    Shining down on your face
    I will disguise myself as a sleeping pill
    And descend inside of you
    Hello Seattle, I am a cold seahorse
    Feeling warm in your sand
    I sing about the tide and the ocean surf
    Rolling in the evening breeze
    Hello Seattle, I am an albatross
    On the docks and moored boats
    I sail above your inlets and interstates
    Through the rain and open wind
    Hello Seattle, I am an old lighthouse
    Throwing beams of bright lights
    Red in the morning, blue in the evening sun
    Taking heed for everyone
    Hello Seattle, I am a mountaineer
    In the hills and highlands
    I fall asleep in hospital parking lots
    Take me above your light
    Carry me through the night
    Hold me secure in flight
    Sing me to sleep tonight
    Take me above your light (Hello Seattle)
    Carry me though the night (I am a mountaineer, in the hills and highlands)
    Hold me secure in flight (I fall asleep in hospital)
    Sing me to sleep tonight (parking lots, and awake in your house)

    Once upon a time, I had a best friend that I did everything with. Years ago, we both were a part of our grade school's chorus, and we sang this song. I haven't always associated this song with them, but... recently we lost touch and now this song, like many things, remind me so completely of them. I don't know who said this, or where I read it, but it goes like this: "It's not the loss of a friendship that hurts, it's the flashbacks that come later that do." This song really reminds me of this.

      Listing this song (2:58 min long) for that many times is equal to listening to it for 5,974,862,944,034 seconds and that's equal to about 9 days so in conclusion you would have to listen to this song for about 9 days straight to cure a headache according to your statement

    I am going to college in a different state and about halfway through the semester, whenever I saw anything that reminded me of Seattle or Washington started making me feel really, really nostalgic and homesick. So now I am listening to this song whenever I get homesick, counting down until I get to go home for break.

  • @lovefitch

    It's crazy how something as simple as a song can bring back waves and waves of memories. On my first day of High School I met someone who would go on to become my best friend for years; she had just moved to my state from Seattle and always told me stories about it and we'd listen to this song (along with tons of other Owl City songs) in her room when I'd go to her house on the weekends. Nearly 10 years of friendship going strong.
