Owl City - Fireflies ft. Matt Thiessen

[straightedgecyndylou]

RELIENT K!!!!!!! MATT!!!!!!! XD <33333

[h2obender1]

AUSTIN WAS STILL THERE!

[Gio1Z8]

It was quiet then Matt Thiessen came and the crowd went crazy. God bless that man.

[Panziegirl]

whoaaa what? O.O Whoooaaa. NICE :D He's got the voice that works for it, though. :D NICE :D

[PenaltyKillah]

What's amusing is that the crowd was listening to a future #1 hit... and they didn't even know it, then :D

[Suz439]

gotta love how as soon as matt comes out everybody screams. wonder how that makes owl city feel.

[jjoploo]

Is it me,or does Matt Thiessen look like Elijah Wood? Please, someone agree! I don't want to sound crazy!

[armyofsporks1]

did you hear what they said when he left?

[drewman775]

I clicked on this BECAUSE it said "ft. Matt Thiessen" but he was only out there for like 5 seconds... lame

[wiggyDshootermaster]

i like matt's hair

[mdpwilliams]

Its kind of funny, Matt helps Adam get into the music industry and then owl city becomes bigger than relient k :P

[masterblake9]

@mdpwilliams

He helped out Katy Perry too, and look how famous she became.

[ColorfulDetonation]

MATT! :)

[tataeru]

His hairrrr

[China247120]

Was this when Adam was still an unsigned artist?

[jc41TV]

@China247120

No his album was already out.. soon after he became one of the most over played artists.

[94ChristianGirl]

Matt helped Adam write this song.. and some others...

[bocahbaeg]

he's so so so sexy <3

[dchoi94]

give Matt more lines than that!

[straightedgecyndylou]

D: Matt come back!!!! Lol x) Matt sings waaayyyyy better but I love this song anyway. ^.^

[sheitruis]

epic hair

[stylingirl15]

OMFG, THATS HILARIOUS, MATT MAKES MY DAY.

[JayalWeak]

Is Matt the second singer on the original Fireflies?

[tormeyup1995]

@JayalWeak .....second



[HockeyLover151000]

@JayalWeak What do you mean original Fireflies? If you mean like on the CD, yes, it's Matt Thiessen.

[SydtheSquid29]

I wish this version was available. I like how he goes higher on the "Planet earth turns slowly" part.

[snowstorm707]

That was super cool, but I couldn't hear it through the audience..,

[jakedreamer123]

lol i love how matty walks on the stage like nothing and then walks off like nothing happened ahaha :D

[maleman247]

Wow, awesome live voice. Hard song to sing. Very impressed!

[18richardson]

SHUT THE FU.CK UP!

[AwesomeAMVsbyME]

and now owl city is more popular than all those bands hahahaha

[BrandonFite182]

@AwesomeAMVsbyME than Relient K? ha the guy might be doing something right, and may have some radio play, but he isnt and wont be better than Relient K.

[PandaceMcFrizzle]

His hair... his crazy hair and this song... made my day

[ginn48]

Ahh I remember this! i loved both relient k and his show:)

[FafyrdGir]

I was there, this was the first time he ever sang Fireflies to a live audience. It was amazing.

[switchfootrocks11]

wow... judging from the video and the comments i thought it was more than that... that was kinda sad

[raawrimadiinosaurr]

I LOOVE Owl City, but this concert looks kinda boring compared to the ones that he's done now. :3

[theinevitable56]

@raawrimadiinosaurr it's because it's in the middle of the day

[scrappy4096]

Adam Young cannoot sing live -.- 

[MarinasPlaylist]

@scrappy4096 this mustve been a bad day.i dunno. i've seen him live and he does NOT sound like this xD

[xXxRainbowViensxXx]

adam young + matt thiessen=HEAVEN!!!!!!!!

[UnicornSlaya]

The days when Relient K was more popular than Owl City... miss those days =]

[jc41TV]

@UnicornSlaya

Amen, If it wasn't for matt and his producing half of ocean eyes, I honestly don't think it would be very far, matt helped write several of the songs

[MrBananaBass]

@UnicornSlaya relient k is awesome!

[vasyuey]

@UnicornSlaya yeah, me too :(

[teamedwardrocks18]

He's just so dang gorgeous. :D And isnt the blonde keyboarder from Swimming With Dolphins when he and Adam had that band?

[MimiHeld]

i like how adam sings "slowly" in the live versions.

[jEsUsLoVeSmE87]

OMGOSH!!! thats so awesome that Matt and Adam sang together :D:D i love Relient K. wish i coulda been at this concert!

[sd12swizzleg]

Matt's hair is getting a little unruly

[heartsofglass37]

@sd12swizzleg lol it's been like that for years

[relientk4ever902]

Yay Matt!!!!! :)

[Aawesome44]

Matthew Thiessen is way to good for owl city!

[jeffmcaraturnbull]

Man crush on matt. lol

[Serpentara12]

Where's Breanne?

[gothicNightwishFan]

why can't everyone there just shut the fuck up and appreciate his amazing music!

[vitaminkarlie]

ahhah this is awesome i love how he just hops right in there and then leaves like he has better stuff to do. big fan of matt and adam. :)

[lulubetty23]

i love matt's hair

[WatercolorMush]

He was at my show in D.C. in April! It was so cool! I love Owl City, but I also kind of like Relient K. :)

[JBlove22291]

I love Matt!

[xxLALAHAILZxx]

I love Adam!!!!!!

[TheLukeTay]

young adam.... never knowing whats to come :)

[sbjoe3]

hahahaha

[SierraFaye]

1:21!... mmm :)

[lhsbonez]

I love Owl City and Matt is AMAZING! Relint K is amazing!

[dchick14]

The drummer is pretty cute!

[gemmeous]

Who is the drummer ? <3

[elvinlodder15]

@gemmeous It's dexter with long blond hair... ok maybe not

[CluelessPictures]

Matt is awesome!

Owl City is pretty good too :)

[JBlove22291]

That is so funny! I love Relient K!

[JesusRocks198]

OMGEEZERS you live near milwaukee. i always wanted to go there for no appareant reason at all. (i didnt' even know it was a real place for awhile) is it cool there.

[timinator6]

the blonde guy on stage playing with adam has his own project "swimming with dolphins" good stuff

[TheXiasin]

1:40 that guy in the crowd was really feeling it. lol. the way adam young can rock out on a keyboard sends me crazy. he is sooooooooo amazing and awesome!!!! OWL CITY FOR EVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JesusRocks198]

@TheXiasin you mean matt. he was singing. maybe i looked at the wrong time.

[HannahKayBaybay]

@jross286

you have that right. but i have the right to COMPLETELY disagree with you and tell you that. i am a huge fan of blink 182 and yes i have seen blink live before so i have a pretty good idea of what tom sounds like. he sounds nothing like tom to me. just saying.

really...what's the point of going onto videos just to post negative comments?

[jross286]

i mean it's simply fun. mostly becasue im bored. that's why i watch vids i know i don't like. but its fun. and i fail to believe that you or anyone else watches only vids they like or even comment only on vids they like. anyways...im just saying

[HannahKayBaybay]

@jross286 okay because i dont. i dont waste my time commenting on videos i don't like. i don't see the point. i go on here for entertainment. not to make myself bored.

[JesusRocks198]

@HannahKayBaybay ha good one. lol so your lucky you got to see matt t. adam young owl city and relient k omg i wish that was possible where i lived

[deathcabforparamore]

@jross286 Wow.. that's seriosuly really stupid. Seriously, what the hell?

[deathcabforparamore]

@jross286 Wow... your a dumbass.

[GoddessofEggrolls]

Lol, he did the same thing at my show. Made me happy cuz I love Matt and I'm not such an Owl City fan. xD

[aslyter45]

I hear Matt Thiessen is kind of a jerk.

Love his music, but just what i hear.

[JesusRocks198]

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he is not a jerk who told you that i'll murder the person who said that good grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrracious

[muchado1990]

Matt Thiessen is AWESOME!!! I saw him do the same thing a few years ago at another performance

[JesusRocks198]

btw matt didn't just sneak in there he's actaully like close friends with adam (in fact on the recorded version he is singing with him) but still it's so cool you got to see him i love relient k to death!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fuwafuwacore]

I love Adam but in all honesty he's not that much of a live singer. In the record, though, he and Matt complement each other really well, especially in Tidal Wave. Really excited about Goodbye Dubai.

[FoldingPaperHearts]

Doood, c'mon Adam! If you make the song ya gotta get up there too! He's a great artist an all, but I want to see him actually hit the notes he does in the studio version! It completes the song! : ) if he doesn't, the song kind of sounds...off. IMO anyways. I bet the guy the left of Adam was like "omg, Matt Thiessen just touched my mic!" Lol

[brannyman]

matt is soooooo amazing

btw they sound sooo similar!

[DaveEd316]

good song but the concert is boring. my guess before thiessien came out was the crowd would be pick up and i was right.

Owl city's concerts are just boring to me. no one seems to be into the music except for the people in the front.

[SmileyFace528]

i love how everyone payed attention when Matt Thiessien comes out. i love RK to death but Owl City toatlly deservs all the credit for this song and right now Owl City is more famous than Relient K just sayin....

[omgitsn33ps]

@SmileyFace528 yeah. but Relient K has more staying power than Owl City. Relient K has loyal fans who can name more than two or three songs. Owl City, as much as i love them, don't have as much loyal fans.

[IdazzleMyself]

Omg Matt Thiessen!!!! :) he's like my favorite singer of alllll time! And Adam is one of my new ones! :)

[TheCapitanFindus]

fuck fuck fuuuuuuckk shitt bitch!!!

[saheniscool]

i like how everyone all of the sudden liked the song when matt came out. haha.

[lay333]

@saheniscool

so true

[atrujillo9]

@saheniscool I like how matt looks like he just got out of bed

[iceb131]

Eh Adams voice isnt that good, Matts AMAZING THOUGH!!!

[theinevitable56]

@iceb131 Well it's live and Matt has had a lot more experience preparing his voice for live shows, so ...yeah....

[monikatad]

I love how he used to do "slowly" in a higher pitch, he should've put that in the song :)

Also, he doesn't do it that way live anymore :(

[p0pxtartx]

daaang Matt needs a hair cut =P but this was amazinggg :D

[homechillinbiscit]

its soo cute when adam messes up in slowly at 2:33

[oProFounD]

i wish they would of recorded this version in Studio and not the version they have now... the chorus sounds x10 better

[HannahKayBaybay]

@oProFounD  yeah i love how the drums sound. =]

[oProFounD]

he needs to cut that hair....

Who am i hates who ive been hair is way better

[EuphoriaMusicSession]

lol i love how he just walks on, completely owns the whole song and then walks off. :) matt is the MAN

[HannahKayBaybay]

@EuphoriaMusicSession and i love how if you watch around 1:40 he moves the mic away and goes "how 'bout that?"

hahaha.

[wclarknewt77]

everyones talking because they suck and have no live band presence

[elementfan111]

Uhm, did they skip the first chorus? You know, the soft one?!

[ElderOfNar]

@elementfan111

this was when they still had a tour version of the song, that or a lot of live performers will change their song up a bit for live shows

[haiizel]

SERIOUSLY! Lol shut up people. why the hell are you talking. I would totally be worshiping the moment.

[HannahKayBaybay]

@haiizel i know!!!!! but this was like right before that song hit the radio.

and to be honest...99% of the people were there because relient k, paramore, and red jumpsuit apparatus were coming on next.

no one really knew who they were...bet they're sorry now. =]

[homechillinbiscit]

@HannahKayBaybay for reall!! i went and me n some other people where the only ones that knew about them and we where the only people singing their songs and i bet after owl city became popular everyone that saw them because of relient k are like 'yea i knew them wayy before you i went to their concert im a true fan!" it sickens me!

[haiizel]

I have loved them since hello seattle. but I understand that know one knew them. its kinda sad to watch the people talking in a way. no respect. I love him <3 haha.

[moderndayknight54]

@haiizel @homechillinbiscit

I know! it's frustrating. I've liked his stuff since right before "Maybe I'm Dreaming" came out.

now all these Twilight fan-girl types are all obsessed with Fireflies just because it's on the radio all the time.

[riotpoliceTRELL]

too many people talking

[MIKEJONESCHAMP]

awsome performance...but yes whats the deal with ocean eyeshaving different people singing with adam...and it never really sounds like it ...i totially had no clue .well i did kinda have a clue when i read the credits inside the albulm,but it still just sounds like adam young singing by himself ...except for the girl parts of course ...haha preppy christian dudes are taking over the music hahaha thats great...add me on myspace cool people ,names micky jones..url thingy is thechamp999 .thanks

[GeMzY67]

=D Tidal Wave is amazingg:) & OMG Them TOGETHER !? :O:O:O YES.<3 It needs to happen AGAIN. :):):) Matt & Adam =<3<3<3

[13rittney3]

when I heard this song on the radio I totally thought it was relient k at first..I was wrong, but obviously close :)

[elementfan111]

@13rittney3 Accually its only live that they do this i believe.

[13rittney3]

I knew that. I was referring to that they have similar voices and music styles.

[JesusRocks198]

u were close and technically in parts matt thiessen does sing on the recorded version. i love that. every time my friend and i listen we listen for that little part and just clap like little kids its great

[chango124]

All three of those guys are awesome.

Adam Young, Austin Tofte and Matt Thiessen.

I want to meet them some day.

[catlover12195]

yeah, their voices sond almost exactly alike when they sing, though, i mean Adam Young and Matt Thiessan. His hair is so crazy!

[chango124]

Yeah they really do sound a lot like each other, I didn't know that it was Matthew that was singing with Adam on his other track "Tidal Wave" either. At first, i thought It was all just Adam doing the singing..

[catlover12195]

yeah, that's what i thought too

[chango124]

but nope, we were both wrong.

Its still amazing though!

[catlover12195]

lol :), yeah

[crayziexanime]

SERIOUSLY? i kept wondering why the voices kept changing!! lol i was like, adam must be singing in a different style...O_O

[chango124]

I was thinking that too. but after the 7th time of hearing the song. I said to myself "okay, he has to be singing with someone else." it was bugging me too because i couldn't find out.

[JesusRocks198]

matt and adam do sound a lot alike and in many of the songs matt sings with him (they're close buds)

[xxBreeziiGxxox]

aww! adam is soo cute!!

[jbxoxoluver]

i love owl city <3

[jbro95]

Oh my gosh. I missed both of my favorite bands play TOGETHER!?!?!?! Man, if there is ONE thing that I could go back in time and change..... :)

[RKfans1]

HOLY CRAP IT WAS HIM!!!!

[Bambamkaboozle]

Did he skip a verse?

[Spudeaux]

No, he skipped the first chorus :)

[bratzcupcake2u]

1:16 Adam Young

<33 OWL CITY

[UntilTheWorld]

thats not matt thiesen!

[codymchargue]

@UntilTheWorld It most definitlley was matt thiesen. And yeah, he doesn need a hair cut, lol. Relient K is my favorite band, I actually met him once, I was pretty proud!

[runxemoxkidxrun]

i met him last night! :D he actually came to huntsville.

[CollegeSwimmerKid]

you need to watch the whole video. he doesn't come in till about 1:21 .

his hair is lookin' crazy!!! lol. i don't think hes ever had it all long and curly like that.

[karazakaton]

lol yeah, i think he wants LIGHTS to be in his band xP i like this one better than when he had a violin, a cello and a girl pianist

[OnThe246]

Cool! But whats with guys with long hair and this headband movement? Did i step into the 70's?

[kanix999]

its the gay emo/punk rock thing to do... a couple of the popular bands do it so allll the little boys and girls have to be cool like them

[BoeckmanOSU]

1:20-1:50 crowd freaks, otherwise they're dead. Cuz Theissen owns. I laughed when he just walked off. Like, "Okay, I'm too cool for you guys, later." Then the crow's quiet again.

[dtyson777]

lol i was thinking the exact same thing. Id feel like a loser if i was adam lol

[kanix999]

thats because they knew him... and no one knew this dude... thats not hard to figure out... until now that his song is blowing up, people are like oh, yea, pshh, i heard this guy before he had a big single... im a reall fan. but look at them.

[MewBerii4eva]

ha i love matt thiessen! but you're right he does need a haircut lol

[JesusRocks198]

really when his hair is that length and lighter (actual hair color) and i would curl mine and pin it up a little i could look exactly like him so im good with him keeping his hair like that jk that would be kinda creeperish yet fun at the same time :-)

[MewBerii4eva]

haha that would be fun lol :D

[JesusRocks198]

ahh trust me it is :-)

[MewBerii4eva]

haha nice and wow that took me a while to answer back.....

[JesusRocks198]

guess what relient k's gonna be at the alive fest this year in mineral city ohio and the best part is my church always goes there im super psyched :-)

[MewBerii4eva]

Lucky duck! I never get to see anyone famous lol.... yeah I wish I could go see themmmm haha you should get their autograph and send it to me lol XD

[JesusRocks198]

yeah i hope i get to meet him see i've been finding all these peeps on the internet that have and then asking how they met him do you want to here something depressing i got first place for 4 h which means i could go to state fair but my mom was busy and couldn't take me and the 4 h day was the day they were playing at the state fair for 10 dollars!!!!!!!!! i was so depressed i still am i hope i see him this time :-)

[guitarplayer85]

which part does matt sing on the album? is he doing the 'please take me away from here' part?

[wittywhitmarla]

lol random but i love it! although pooor little matt needs a hair cut very very much!

[OhMyChinchilla]

beautiful!

i fear for the birds that will come tumbling out when he does get one

;)

[smileexkiddd]

drummer = DAYUM.

[missssnikkiii]

AGREED!

[fudayk]

That wasn't Matt singing at first, it was him that came out, zebraful...don't insult him. D<

[xRikux]

lol, matt was random...

[rainbowzebraful]

when one is matt?? the one who is singing? i thought whoever was singing needs some singing lessons. cuz they did some definite tweaking to the voices on the final version. :P

[rfranknj]

the main guy in the blue shirt is 'owl city'. the dude from reliant k has the curly hair and he only came out for a little bit in the middle

and really, you think? the album version is 90% autotune

[sweetnesxxx]

matt is the one with the curly hair comming out then going again

[jessikagurl101]

Matt Thiessen totally took the spotlight away from adam... asshole

[elephantlove95]

haha i love this, i was there!! but i do think matt needs a hair cut.. haha[:

[jamaicarocks100]

i luv how he just walks off the stage when he finished his part.

[jekyll1vs1hyde]

Adam Young looks like he'd be a total geek. He's my hero. ^_^

OC Rocks!
