It just reminds us of simpler days when there was no pressure of studying or social drama. Just playin with the Bois and drinking sprite and watching cartoons
This song dropped in mid July 2009. I had just turned 17 and was about to start grade 12. That summer was amazing and so was grade 12. The music was so amazing back then. Nostalgia is such a wild feeling💙
Even before a teen, I knew these were good. Recently I've been finding old songs either by random or by remembering old lyrics. I'm not really someone who liked most mainstream music, but some are good. This was gold.
Death: Ight here I am to take you. Avery: is fireflies my funeral song? Death: nah Avery: slams door in deaths face changes name and moves to Australia
This song feels like the epitome of a random childhood memory that you can't distinguish from a fever dream or something that actually happened. But it still makes you happy and nostalgic.
I feel so old watching this.. I remember me and my brother listening to this for hours, hanging out and talking, or just playing catch. All the laughs and smiles, all our ups and downs. It hurts honestly. Brings tears to my eyes to see how fast we grow up.
Last year I had to go to Alabama for a competition and while I was walking to the pool from my hotel room I saw fireflies and I got so excited I called my mom
It reminds me like I'm on a hill looking up at the stars with my best friend. With fire flys flying all around us. not talking just looking up at the stars🌟
Oh my god... Bruh I'm 16 and I feel old Lemme tell you a story of why this song holds a special purpose for me in my heart. About 10 years ago, my family and I went up to Ohio for a summer. My dad and grandparents grew up there and lived their years back, and I also loved going. However... after we came back, my grandad fell ill, and we found out he had a tumour in his lung. He died January of next year... this song was the song that I always listened to up there, and my grandad and I would sing it together... That's why this song is held dear to me.
Oh... I'm sorry about your grandad. That sounds like a very special time... I wish I got to know my own grandfather. He passed before I was born however... My prayers to you and your family.
This song reminds me of when my life currently.My life is tough right now.I’ve had multiple pets pass away,my great grandpa passed away and my bff left my school and is now wanting to kill herself.Life is tough for us people who used to enjoy it
@@xo_ciara_xo3991 I never said that people outside that age don't like the song, I just said everyone in that age limit likes the song. Not that others don't?
My memory of this song is when I was a kid sitting in the back of my aunts van with all my cousins and on our way home from my nan’s old camp it’s pitch black dirt road and there’s fields with fireflies EVERYWHERES around us. I still have not seen as many fireflies to this day, so glad I have this song to remind me of the good nostalgic times.
I finally found this exact video that my music teacher would turn on after music class when I was in 6th grade. It's always stuck in my head everytime I hear it. My friend also turned this song on when we visited her house, or whenever I work. Everything is just so nostalgic
Goodbyes are the hardest for me,Why do such good people or friends die?I'm never ready to say goodbye..But that's life,right?A hello and a goodbye?You may drift off onto another path,or witness them die,but it's just life..But no one,NO ONE, wants that...Humanity hates goodbyes,But should love and accept them,Humanity Loves Hellos,But should hate and loathe them for their emotional state they can bring you like- Goodbyes: A grandfather who has died. A close friend or lover. Hellos: A future wife or husband but only leads to death A friend only to drift apart or die Life is like a mother of bad habits,but she's still a mother and we should care for her.
Yeah I am here because my friend fucked my girlfriend and I punched him, now im suspended for 3 days and I am the most alone I have ever been. This song is a time machine.
This song reminds me of when I was a kid. When everything was innocent and I was always happy. Then I grew up. I'm in tenth grade now and rarely ever happy and I just wanna go back.
This is quite simple. Why would you make a good song if people still will buy the bad ones? Most of these "artists" think with their wallet instead of their brain, and this really makes me sad
I am actually kinda sad that we swapped from great songs like these to cursing, sad, etc. songs... (I am quite surprised at how fast I typed this as I am in complete darkness and can't see a thing as it is nearly half one...)
These songs were good, now they just sing songs about drugs and suicide, I miss these good old days, I remember being younger and my elementary teacher played this for us during a test, I miss her because she passed away the week after. This song reminds me of her, but for real these songs are great, the years past to quickly❤❤
I honestly agree with you! Sometimes I wish songs like this were still around. Also I'm sorry about your teacher. I'm sure she was a very kind person... :(
*my dad bursts into my room at 3:00 AM* Him: WHY ARE YOU BEING SO LOUD... WHY ARE YOU EVEN AWAKE!? Me: I'D LIKE TO MAKE MYSELF BELIEVE THAT PLANET EARTH TURNS SLOWLY!!
If this song is nostalgic to you, your old enough. It doesn't matter what year you were born in, so will you stop fighting in the comments about it! This song is special and you flood others comments talking about it saying this can't be nostalgic just because of the year they were born in, stop! And by the way the 2000s are up until 2010, and if you were born in the 2010s and this is nostalgic then it is. Stop fighting y'all it's not that big of a deal
I came here to listen to the song to feel nostalgic and then I see your username and FEEL EVEN MORE NOSTALGIC HOLY SHIT I WAS OBSESSED WITH HETALIA 5-6 years AGO!!! ...gonna cry now
@@shindroid oh yeah! I forgot I still had it as this, I normally never comment and just listen to music here so I never really noticed I still had this!! But yeah I've been in the fandom for about 4 years and still can't escape!
The song is nostalgic as it is, but the 2009-style video (with all of its loveably random fonts, transitions, and colors) just makes it that much better. 😊
Such innocent and beautiful songs are so rare now, it is so sad. Edit, bruh, call me a copycat but I am just saying whatever the fuck was on my mind. People can have same opinions bruv.
Man, I was born in 2003. I'm 17. And the only thing I can think of while listening to this song is the fact that I'm growing up. And it scares me. It hits somewhere else re-listening to this song after so many years
Time passing is scary, when you look back and realize how fast everything is going by. Hell, I'm scared too. But it's gonna be okay. Everything's gonna be fine.
Fear has no justification. This is our problem. We hang onto our fear, believing it to be real. It's not. And the only way to see the Truth of fear being not Real is to experience it and release it. Only then will we see that it was never real to begin with. Peace and blessings to you.
Im born '99 and turning 23 this year. Things will always unfold a bit more to you.. stay tuned, life is never as it seems:D I recorded this song back in 2007-2008 or some on my old samsung GT (had keys) with the record function and my cousin and me would be cycling around an large nature reserve where we discovered abandoned places and lost each other just to found again later on and had so much fun and experience.. and we heared this song on the way back home, the sun was already settin most of the time, because we spend our whole day there.. just what an amazing memorie due to that song
"I'd get a thousand hugs from ten thousand lightning bugs..." Dude, he's only getting hugged by 10% of those lightning bugs. Sad. I would receive a hug from every lightning bug.
@@rowanluti4816 He never said each. Describing a total received from a group implies that they collectively gave that much. 90% of the lightning bugs wanted nothing to do with him. Hell, he never said whether or not hugs were equally distributed. It's possible some lightning bugs hugged more than once out of pity and that over 90% of the lightning bugs shunned him.
he answered each lightning bug hugged him a thousand times on Twitter. the line “you would not believe your eyes if ten million fire flies” (or something along those lines) references the amount of hugs he receives in total, as it’s physically impossible to get hugged ten million times at the same time.

This song brought memories. I was a kid when i discovered this song and i sung it and showed my family the song and everything like that. This song is the most memorable one i know.

Nostalgia probably, memories of better days.
It just reminds us of simpler days when there was no pressure of studying or social drama. Just playin with the Bois and drinking sprite and watching cartoons

Anyone remember catching fireflies in early 2000s now you don't see them like at all
I started seeing them again recently
Unicorn Lover they’ve been self isolating much longer than us
Last year I had to go to Alabama for a competition and while I was walking to the pool from my hotel room I saw fireflies and I got so excited I called my mom
I used to always catch fireflies and release them inside my house
I've never seen fireflies in my life 😳
The song still holds up! Probably one of the best songs from Owl City, the music is freaking amazing.
Instead of asking what year you're listening, I'll ask this:
Who's also listening in the middle of the night xD?
You got me
I am XD
2:30 am my dudes
It’s actually 11:59pm rn so you got me!
Its 1 am
Something about this song makes me feel safe, or close to home
It kinda reminds me of a warm blanket and that feeling when you wrap it around yourself, and it's just so right and amazing.
to me its like when someone like holds you in there arms or laying on someones chest you feel really safe and comforted
It reminds me like I'm on a hill looking up at the stars with my best friend. With fire flys flying all around us. not talking just looking up at the stars🌟
yep exactly u put it perfectly
Yeah it makes me feel Good

Lemme tell you a story of why this song holds a special purpose for me in my heart.
About 10 years ago, my family and I went up to Ohio for a summer. My dad and grandparents grew up there and lived their years back, and I also loved going. However... after we came back, my grandad fell ill, and we found out he had a tumour in his lung. He died January of next year... this song was the song that I always listened to up there, and my grandad and I would sing it together...

Oh... I'm sorry about your grandad. That sounds like a very special time... I wish I got to know my own grandfather. He passed before I was born however... My prayers to you and your family.
Aww... I’m so sorry! May he Rest In Peace!❤️😥🙂

Poetic brilliance with uplifting tempo. This song speaks volumes to me on an astronomical depth.
How has time gone so fast
Right
so nostalgic

These songs were good, now they just sing songs about drugs and suicide, I miss these good old days, I remember being younger and my elementary teacher played this for us during a test, I miss her because she passed away the week after. This song reminds me of her, but for real these songs are great, the years past to quickly❤❤
SpiritWolf Gardian. I agree to you bro.
Lik if u cri evry tim
like spiritwolfs comment was sad
I honestly agree with you! Sometimes I wish songs like this were still around. Also I'm sorry about your teacher. I'm sure she was a very kind person... :(
But Fireflies is about having Insomnia while imagining wonderful
*my dad bursts into my room at 3:00 AM*
Him: WHY ARE YOU BEING SO LOUD... WHY ARE YOU EVEN AWAKE!?
Me: 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, BECAUSE THE WORLD IS NEVER AS IT SEEMS!!!!

@Amber Weasley me too, me too
I’ve never met a Weasley that’s a slythierin
If this song is nostalgic to you, your old enough. It doesn't matter what year you were born in, so will you stop fighting in the comments about it! This song is special and you flood others comments talking about it saying this can't be nostalgic just because of the year they were born in, stop! And by the way the 2000s are up until 2010, and if you were born in the 2010s and this is nostalgic then it is. Stop fighting y'all it's not that big of a deal
I came here to listen to the song to feel nostalgic and then I see your username and FEEL EVEN MORE NOSTALGIC HOLY SHIT I WAS OBSESSED WITH HETALIA 5-6 years AGO!!! ...gonna cry now
@@shindroid oh yeah! I forgot I still had it as this, I normally never comment and just listen to music here so I never really noticed I still had this!! But yeah I've been in the fandom for about 4 years and still can't escape!
The song is nostalgic as it is, but the 2009-style video (with all of its loveably random fonts, transitions, and colors) just makes it that much better. 😊
I miss the old classics of the 2000s, these songs will not die for generations to come
I miss them too. Being too young to understand them, but still finding them catchy.
Songs like these will help us through the pandemic.
Such innocent and beautiful songs are so rare now, it is so sad.
Edit, bruh, call me a copycat but I am just saying whatever the fuck was on my mind. People can have same opinions bruv.
I Love this song I love old music and I also love (hey there, Delilah) this music now or days is junk
literally copied the top comment and got upvoted 150 times lol
AICooL it’s not rare, they just sadly don’t get as much attention
More like mainstream music. Music made by independent artist are wonderful
AICooL emphasis on the innocent part
This is one of those songs which will never die! Legendary!!
Oh the good old days where most things were more simpler. I miss the early 2000s
Rejerk 77 Wish we could turn back time to the good old days when our Mamas sang us to sleep
Rejerk 77 this came out in 2009, the latest you can get in the 2000s
same here

*but now we're stressed out* (sorry, had to finish that line)
Underswap Chara lol
so many memories man.... it hurts but feels good to listen to this song again; man have the years passed......
I feel you bro #childhoodmemories
'it hurts but feels good' that's nostalgia for you my friend
todays fucking generation man just songs about ass i miss this this is what i grew up to
I know right its nice to listen to one of the best songs ever
Recently my cousin died last week.. he showed me this song when I was a kid. Now im all grown yet i still listen to it. I miss you cuzzo. R.I.P.
Man, I was born in 2003. I'm 17. And the only thing I can think of while listening to this song is the fact that I'm growing up. And it scares me. It hits somewhere else re-listening to this song after so many years
Yeah that’s normal, and with 2020 being such an unpredictable year, it’s even more justifiable to be scared.
Time passing is scary, when you look back and realize how fast everything is going by. Hell, I'm scared too. But it's gonna be okay. Everything's gonna be fine.
Me too...
Fear has no justification. This is our problem. We hang onto our fear, believing it to be real. It's not. And the only way to see the Truth of fear being not Real is to experience it and release it. Only then will we see that it was never real to begin with. Peace and blessings to you.
Im born '99 and turning 23 this year. Things will always unfold a bit more to you.. stay tuned, life is never as it seems:D I recorded this song back in 2007-2008 or some on my old samsung GT (had keys) with the record function and my cousin and me would be cycling around an large nature reserve where we discovered abandoned places and lost each other just to found again later on and had so much fun and experience.. and we heared this song on the way back home, the sun was already settin most of the time, because we spend our whole day there.. just what an amazing memorie due to that song
2022 and it´s definitely a piece of art that never gets old.
"I'd get a thousand hugs from ten thousand lightning bugs..." Dude, he's only getting hugged by 10% of those lightning bugs. Sad. I would receive a hug from every lightning bug.
@@rowanluti4816 He never said each. Describing a total received from a group implies that they collectively gave that much. 90% of the lightning bugs wanted nothing to do with him. Hell, he never said whether or not hugs were equally distributed. It's possible some lightning bugs hugged more than once out of pity and that over 90% of the lightning bugs shunned him.
Maybe he is getting a hug from ten lightning bugs at a time? Group cuddles are the best in the end!
he answered each lightning bug hugged him a thousand times on Twitter. the line “you would not believe your eyes if ten million fire flies” (or something along those lines) references the amount of hugs he receives in total, as it’s physically impossible to get hugged ten million times at the same time.
Dont ruin it with math!
