By Request: Fireflies by Owl City

Hey guys, I will warn you before hand that I LOVE Owl City. It is not a crush, not a mild infatuation. I love him. So this post is going to be absolutly biased. Deal with it.
Here is the video for this amazing song!

(Sorry I couldn't paste it right into the blog but youtube was being dumb.)

Here are the lyrics:
you would not believe your eyes
if ten million fireflies lit up the world as i fell asleep
'Cause they'd fill the open air
and leave teardrops everywhere
you'd think me rude but I'd just stand and stare

Chorus:
I'd like to make myself believe
that planet Earth turns slowly
Its hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems

'Cause id get a thousand hugs from ten thousand lightning bugs
as they tried to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
a sockhop beneath my bed
a disco ball is just hanging by a thread
(chorus)

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
but ill know where several are
if my dreams get real bizarre
'cause i saved a few and i keep them in a 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 my dreams are bursting at the seams

If you have not heard this song I highly reccomend you listen to it soon. It seems to be hitting the airwaves (A first for an Owl City song) so you might just hear it on your local station. If you have heard it...ISN'T IT AMAZING??!!! What a perfect blend of instruments in a song! And Adam's voice has never sounded more melodic. It really stands out from the rest of recycled pop music that filters though my car radio. In fact, even though I have the song on my Ipod, I am so excited when I hear it on the radio because I know there are people getting hooked to Owl City at that very moment.

Something to note about Owl City is that his songs don't always make sense. I find that amazing for my own reasons which make me sound crazy so I will not note them here. After searching for the meaning of the song on various websites, I noticed that this song has had a common effect on a lot of people. Multiple comments made by fans cited that the song made them reminisce about childhood and filled them with feelings of nostalgia. While I couldn't really find the exact meaning of the song , I found my findings to be rather interesting. I think that the effect this song has had on people is an example of how music doesn't always have to make perfect sense but it can generate a similar feeling for a large group of people.

And thats why I think the song Fireflies by Owl City should be in your Ipod. Seriously.Go download it now.
