This song brings back memories. Being so young, with all the minecraft youtubers. DanTDM, BajanCanadian, PopularMmos, (which now Pat and Jenbroke up which cut deep when i heard about it) SkydoesMinecraft. When this used to be one of the best songs out there. Before the modern rap songs. One of the best eras we’ve lived in.
A.G I was 4 and more than likely in pre-school playing with my friends waiting to go home and watch spongebob and play with toys...now I’m waiting to start high school.

@@YungStinkyWinky I'd say the notes and synths are pretty different tonee and chords of the time. Especially the strings and high tone bubbly synth is the only way I can explain it. The beeping bouncing back and forth from ear to ear is interesting and new feeling for what was being put out then

@@justtakingawalk1555 surr as hell was for me. I always knew why I should hate it but then it bumps and I couldn't hate it . It was there. It was good. Its a bop.

Yeah when there wasn't unnecessary updates that just slow down the app and ruin it for the content creators by making you practically lose money by not being 100% family friendly
It was best when it came out. Like in 2006 was it's best year. No commercials at all and no youtubers and it was an American thing or even a Californian thing.
Nessa Ferrer I know right. I’m sad about today’s songs. They have horrible lyrics, depressing melodies and also, the lyrics make absolutely no sense. For example: Any modern song you name
I love this song because of a very specific and special person, I met in the 3rd grade, after I moved to a new state. She was werid, and I loved it. No one else did, like everyone hated her. If you know what the "Cheese Touch" is from my diary of a wimpy kid, this entire school had decided that she was just as bad and named a similar "game"(more like bully mechanism) after her. It was bad, and I had no idea when I first came to that school, but I was in the same class as her younger brother who I had a crush on at the time, so naturally I was nice to her from the beginning and like the second day of school I sat with her on our hour long bus ride and everyone getting on was being jerks saying stupid shit, but I didn't care, I was just curious to know what she was actually like, regardless of what others had said....and about 20ish mins into the ride, she pulls out her mini MP3 player and ear buds, then the first song she shows me, she goes," Thanks of being my friend even when it might make no one like you, so I wanted to show you my favorite song ", then on comes this beautiful symphony of the song. To this day, i sing this song with pride and remembrance, knowing that it meant something to her, and even though we will never meet again, She will always mean something to try.
ice cream is nice right , wish I could go back to being a kid , everything was so simple, I regret saying “I can’t wait till I’m grown” so much wish I really enjoyed my childhood like I should’ve
I’m 18. Adults were always right when they said enjoy being a kid when you can, but we thought different. Listen to the older versions of us guys. Take this song touching you for example. It’s what triggers it all.

Wanna know something cool? This song's like a memory. You can remember bits and pieces, and it comes back to you now and then, but you can never remember the entirety of this song. Not until you hear it's notes, not unless you keep visiting this memory over and over. It feels like it was only yesterday, but it's been more than a decade. A tenth of a century. Maybe it's because we all believe earth turns slowly, or maybe we just refuse to forget because we all hate goodbyes. I like to believe the earth turns slowly. Lets meet again some day and visit this memory for a little while longer.
I was listening to TheaFatRat’s end of a decade mixtape and the song Elegy begins to play I shoot up because I thought it was playing fireflies. I swear TheFatRat took the intro of this song
14 years later and this song still sends shivers down my spine just like it did the first time I heard this during my secondary school days, 14 years ago. Just as beautiful as the first time I heard it.
I'm turning 19 soon, this will be the last care free summer I get to spend with my best friend, before I leave for college. I'm so scared and sometimes I want to cry my eyes out, I realize that after this summer its over, and I will never get that back. I would give anything to go back in time when we were younger and there wasn't so much to worry about, this song brings back all those carefree times; road trips with my parents and sister, playing COD till 3am with the boys, getting my first guitar, new lego sets on Christmas, playing my favorite songs over and over, laying in the grass with my best friend watching 4th of July fireworks. I could go on and on, I'll never forget those memories. I never understood when adults told me "don't grow up too fast, its not what you think," I was always like why wouldn't I want to be an adult? I get it now. If there are any younger kids seeing this, don't be in a rush to grow up, treasure your childhood (including teens) you only get to be a kid once, you will never ever get that back, so enjoy it and hang on tight to those memories.
Very well well explained. It now gives me the nostalgic feeling of me playing with my friends in a role playing using stick as sword. And also how my parents treated us as a gold till our age today. Memories that has been in my time capsule. This music has it all.
I’m not sure but I feel like every Owl City’s songs are just always peaceful, chill yet powerful. He is underrated imo (in general (his other songs)). I wished he was still making new songs tbh...

@2022 RUclips comments . . . I won't point everything out, but here are a couple. *"I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly* "(the earth is stationary in the fe model. Meaning it doesn't spin, orbit, or rotate. I'd like to make myself believe it, but I cant.) *"It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep 'Cause everything is never as it seems."* (Those that believe in the globe don't want to wake up. The dream they have been given is much better than reality. Many know this dream isn't as it seems, but they choose to sleep then awaken. I chose to stay awake over going back to sleep. I realised the dream wasn't as it seemed. That's just what i hear when i listen. Based on my personal experience and research. There are lots of fe playlists in my library if anyone is interested. Enjoy! Fe society is disinformation! Don't watch the first yt video you see. There aren't any real fe videos when you search for them on yt anymore. Thats why i took the time to find all the good ones and put them in a library.

Brings me back to when youtube actually worked and had quality content.
Yeah not when it now have 0 views with 65 comments...
And not a lot of people starts making videos as shit
Also it was cool since fortnite and tik tok doesn't exist
I hope both of these get deleted one day...
yeh less youtuber which let people have a relax way on watching content now, theres millions of channel in youtube'T_T

First
I love this song because of a very specific and special person, I met in the 3rd grade, after I moved to a new state. She was werid, and I loved it. No one else did, like everyone hated her. If you know what the "Cheese Touch" is from my diary of a wimpy kid, this entire school had decided that she was just as bad and named a similar "game"(more like bully mechanism) after her. It was bad, and I had no idea when I first came to that school, but I was in the same class as her younger brother who I had a crush on at the time, so naturally I was nice to her from the beginning and like the second day of school I sat with her on our hour long bus ride and everyone getting on was being jerks saying stupid shit, but I didn't care, I was just curious to know what she was actually like, regardless of what others had said....and about 20ish mins into the ride, she pulls out her mini MP3 player and ear buds, then the first song she shows me, she goes," Thanks of being my friend even when it might make no one like you, so I wanted to show you my favorite song ", then on comes this beautiful symphony of the song. To this day, i sing this song with pride and remembrance, knowing that it meant something to her, and even though we will never meet again, She will always mean something to try.
Sweet

Day 1128 of listening to Fireflies by Owl City everyday for 10 years.
This is the lyrics so you won’t have to leave RUclips...
You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
'Cause they fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude but I would just stand and stare
I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread (thread, thread)
I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)
Leave my door open just a crack
Please take me away from here
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
Please take me away from here
Why do I tire of counting sheep?
Please take me away from here
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
To ten million fireflies
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell (they said farewell)
But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar (jar, jar, jar)
I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)

@@beggibob6261 I prefer the 2000’s when it comes to music.

This song's like a memory. You can remember bits and pieces, and it comes back to you now and then, but you can never remember the entirety of this song. Not until you hear it's notes, not unless you keep visiting this memory over and over.
It feels like it was only yesterday, but it's been more than a decade. A tenth of a century. Maybe it's because we all believe earth turns slowly, or maybe we just refuse to forget because we all hate goodbyes.
I like to believe the earth turns slowly. Lets meet again some day and visit this memory for a little while longer.
So good :')
Beautiful
I was listening to TheaFatRat’s end of a decade mixtape and the song Elegy begins to play

I'm turning 19 soon, this will be the last care free summer I get to spend with my best friend, before I leave for college. I'm so scared and sometimes I want to cry my eyes out, I realize that after this summer its over, and I will never get that back. I would give anything to go back in time when we were younger and there wasn't so much to worry about, this song brings back all those carefree times; road trips with my parents and sister, playing COD till 3am with the boys, getting my first guitar, new lego sets on Christmas, playing my favorite songs over and over, laying in the grass with my best friend watching 4th of July fireworks. I could go on and on, I'll never forget those memories.
I never understood when adults told me "don't grow up too fast, its not what you think," I was always like why wouldn't I want to be an adult? I get it now. If there are any younger kids seeing this, don't be in a rush to grow up, treasure your childhood (including teens) you only get to be a kid once, you will never ever get that back, so enjoy it and hang on tight to those memories.
thanks for the advice man! but hey, my parents say you can still act like a kid every once in a while!
Very well well explained. It now gives me the nostalgic feeling of me playing with my friends in a role playing using stick as sword. And also how my parents treated us as a gold till our age today. Memories that has been in my time capsule. This music has it all.
Thanks mate, I'll enjoy my 14y/o life to the best I can.

I’m not sure but I feel like every Owl City’s songs are just always peaceful, chill yet powerful. He is underrated imo (in general (his other songs)). I wished he was still making new songs tbh...

*"It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
