  • wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwoooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!! this rocks

  • 3:46

  • i see this song in 2 ways 1 is that its a love song and a break up song

  • It's really not a sad song. Like, yes, it's a break up song, but they had an amazing relationship and now it's done that's all. It's more of a song that celebrates the way things were.

  • this reminds me of when me and my friend jacob went to the beach.

    guess what, he got a sunburn.

    (and when her smile came back, and i didnt feel half as horrible, she gave me a heart attack, just becuase she was so adorable.)(lol lol lol)

  • 11 people got sunburns.

  • u peeps r missing out on the point of the song! it's actually a breakup song. Don't be fooled by the tone. i have a bad feeling i might need to dedicate this song to 2 peeps that r my friends... ) : i LOVE this song, thanx 4 posting ( :

  • 11 people got sunburns.

  • @austinandally36 your right as hell

  • SummerSketcher i never thought about it that way

  • that awkward moment when you realize that this is actually a sad song....

  • his songs always make me feel tingly and happy

  • @TheDof123 that's hidden we'll but most if the 5% know itz there?

  • @TheDof123 who said he doesn't have a jet pack or a bungee cord?

  • This is like what happened with me and my boyfriend. we broke up but i got a tan and he got a sunburn. in other words, it hurt him more than it hurt me. i emailed him this song and now u can here him singing it under his breath

  • @kirbyj4 yeah, but in my school itz more like 99/1. well this is the BEST SONG EVER!!!!!!!!!!! :D

  • 95% of you people would cry if you saw Justin Bieber standing on a high rise about to jump...if your one of the 5% of people that would eat popcorn and yell "Do a backflip", press the like button!!! ;)

  • @RedFireDragon202 I'd say it's about 60/40

  • @RedFireDragon202 as much as i hate justin beiber, I would be the 95%, And i got a good reason. is it funny when some one you love dies, no! so think of justin beibers family. think of yourself in that situation.

  • @RedFireDragon202 I don't like JB, but I would hate if he killed himself. Just because I don't like the way he sings doesn't mean that he needs to die and I need to cheer him on.

    I really hate these chain messages. They're so stupidly violent. =/

  • i love owl city... i just do

  • Owl City <3

  • Me and my brother recorded this song acoustic style. But the day before we recorded it my GF broke up with me,i felt horrible,but i had a great day recording. it was better than what it originally. Thumbs up for the break-up that made the song better!

  • @mw2trainer101 right with you!!

  • wow...song about a major breakup, but he was still after her...hmm..cute!

  • The first two things below that say copy and paste I mean

  • I'm on my iPod so I can't copy and paste but I agree with the first two things below.

  • Listen to this song in reverse, it's pretty good. Kind of has an Eastern Europe dialect.

  • LOOOOOOOVE THIS SOOOOONG SSSOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOD!! <3

  • makes me think of my own life. my bf was a jerk so we broke up. i was really hurt and cried for a month. my friends forced me to go to a party that saturday and there he was hooking u with some other girl. he got a tan and i got a sunburn.

  • Im on my phone so i cant copy and paste but i agree with the big paraghraph

  • Bottlerocketships U ARE SO TRUE :D

  • I'm a proud Owl City citizen. Because in Owl City, you have Rainbow Veins. Dreams Don't Turn to Dust, and you rise your head up to Alligator Sky to watch the Meteor Shower. You ride in a Hot Air Balloon, and greet the Sky Diver of Umbrella Beach. During the night, Fireflies flit about under the Vanilla Twilight sky. You should visit sometime. If you're lucky, you'll see the Strawberry Avalanche, far away from The Real World. Copy and paste this if you love Owl City

  • @Bakugan39 does that mean ill bleed rainbow if i get cut?

  • HEART ATTACKS AREN'T FUNNY, MY GRANDMA HAD ONE ONCE.

    Just kittens. I'll calm down.

  • I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS FOR AGES I LOVE YOU NOW (HUG)

  • owl city,favorite band,if you don't like them thats your own problem. Go Adam Young!

  • 8 people disliked, cause they don't know what "the bee's knees" means....

  • @summersketcher-omg you smarty pants! Lol I wish I was as smart as you :P hahaha

  • @guitarbro2727 haha! thanks! :>

  • how sweet this song is

  • Adam's songs have a happy tune most of the time. The poetry of this song is actually kinda sad. [And even more meaningful] if you notice he covered it up with a merry tune. "She's the bee's knees and i'm the cat's meow" means that the girl was sharp and he was gentle, and that when they said goodbye, the girl only got half hurt as he did because "she got a tan" and he had a "sunburn." :) See the metaphor?

    Ah, such a beautiful poetry only Owl City songs could achieve.

  • @SummerSketcher Actually, the bee's knees means that the girl was cool/ popular and the cat's meow means the same thing but worded differently. Sorry i have a correction issue -_- But yeah i noticed that too about the song

  • @DarkAngel91398 That's okay. Even in literature, interpretations vary. I guess the meaning of the song is not limited to one though. Sometimes, it's how the listener find meaning in it that gives it meaning...

    And that's the logic of poetry as well. :D

  • @SummerSketcher True.. Yay for us being smart. :)

  • @DarkAngel91398 Cheers! :)

  • @SummerSketcher no, that means that she wasn't hurt at all because tans don't hurt. she was just different for a while. (mean girl)

  • @dragonzrule93 but still she turned tan. :))

  • @SummerSketcher Yet the majority of the population of Earth cannot fathom those words to work in such a sentence resulting in the classic "Owl City's songs are all nonsense and make no sense *derp*". U.U Such a sad time we live in. No one understands art and emotion in music anymore.

  • @abbyfanduby You are so right. Well that's mainly because they're so used to shallowness and crap that when they hear songs like this they don't understand.

    Lucky us and Poor them! xD

  • 8 people got sunburned bad

  • @Ramon87evans Shut up, that's not funny.

  • @TheGlitchBox1 neither is your mother

  • @Ramon87evans Nope, she's pretty funny.

  • We had to sing "Fireflies" in music class today and a few kids we're covering their ears before we even started singing, and a few kids even said "This song is gay." I stood up said "Just 'cause it's a song about something other than sex and drinking doesn't mean its a bad song." They kinda looked at me, but I think they got the point. I love you Adam <3 thanks for making real music

  • @bearythebearBFF I, For One, Solute You Madam

  • @bearythebearBFF its so sad when schools get infected by the "i hate owl" city virus cause its so awesome and beautiful they cant take it not even for a minute im glad you stood up for what you believe in

  • I like how Adam Young makes these awesome songs through his Insomnia and Hallucinations but not through Drugs.

  • @Ownerz100kk lol like other artists use drugs but Adam is original xD

  • @Ownerz100kk Oh I wish that was true, Adam was actully a herion addict. I was watching a think about him on Biography

  • @xXZoeyLupin101Xx I don't know about that, but the point is he's not ruining his songs over drugs.

  • @xXZoeyLupin101Xx ...On a scale of 0 to 10 of how much i believe that... it's got to be a -100,000,0000. xx

  • own city and justin beiber should exchange song lyrics

  • @CrazyTextMandy Well, this sounds nothing like Fireflies...

    But that really shouldn't be what you base your music tastes off of. I don't especially like Fireflies either, but all of his (Owl City's) other music (well no... I don't like Strawberry Avalance much but that's beside the point) is pretty awesome, I think...

    Oh and it's all going to sound a little bit like Fireflies I guess because it's all electronic... sort of.

  • ah this is amazing. i'm still so glad i knew him before fireflies. :) he really is truly special! :D

  • his voice sounds cind of raspy compared to the other songs

  • wow. adams voice is so..amazing. love it <3

  • hahaha, We both got burned, but mine faded, poor guy(:

    (Im feel like one of the happiest girls ever)lol

  • love this song but im a terrible singer so i cant sing to this i am a fucking bitch!!!!!I SAID FUCKING BITCH

  • My mom loves this song XD She'll randomly sing it when she's hyper. Haha! I love this song. Is Adam Young an only child, because this song sounds like it's about his sister, if you think about the lyrics. It doesn't matter, though, because he is the most amazing song ever :) he deserves the best in life!

  • @fireflies1447 It's probably about his girlfriend, if he has one/had one when he wrote it.

    Most singers don't write about their sisters lol

  • :3 Man... this sure reminds me of him.

  • This song is so #CUTE

    Owl City FOREVER! I LOVE YOU ADAM YOUNG! C:

  • she gave me a heart attack just kuz she looked so adorable <3

  • i love the backround(: and great job with the lyrics! loveee this songg(:

  • ♥

  • I think when i first started to watch this, it seemed just topass the time, but now im listening to this song every day! that always happens to me with owl city's songs to me!

  • AiB96: I wouldn't say it's techno...

  • I love the song but I can't figure the meaning behind it? Someone plz explain...

  • she gave me a heart attack just because she looked so adorable.LOVE IT.

  • MY FAVOURITE SONG YET!

  • cute song!!!! so talented! i like how adam plays with lyrics...gives emotionally deep meanings but he turns it to a happy side of those messages...rock!

  • I love this song it always makes me think of the girl i like.. :)

  • does adam write these songs? if he does, i want a boyfriend like him. his songs are always so sweet. <3

  • @FieryPixel yes he does :D

  • @jazzybread so does every other techno pop singer in the world. example 1 listen to Lights songs..hers all sound the same too but shes still hella good right? yes..

  • He uses a synthesizer which sounds the same mostly.

  • ♥.♥

  • This song kinda reminds me of the book Stargirl. I love that book!!! AND i love this song :)

    <3

  • @HershyCHAT23 omigosh that was an amazing book. and ya this song does remind me of that book.

  • this song is so cute! =^^= I cant get enough of Adam :)

  • love this song

  • @meggiebera okayy, they all dont sound like fireflies. first of all, fireflies wasnt his first song, so fireflies sounds like them second of all. if anything, your deafff, bc they dont all sound the same, and its techno. its fuckiong awesome! so chill yourself!! if you dont like i. dont listen to it.

  • @AiB96

    ok seriously dude learn your punctuation!!!oh and go back to kindergarten and learn how to spell!!!idiot!the band is called Owl City NOT Fireflies!Fireflies was just one of their big hits!Dumbass!

  • @AiB96 its elctropop and synthpop. not techno. and youre right, they dont all sound like fireflies, but fireflies was ONE of his first songs, and it was the first of his songs to ever be released to public broadcasting on radio stations.

    ~Brittney~~ =]

  • Your on a video whose viewers are mostly all owl city fans. Keep your hating to yourself, we think the song is adorable <33

    Adam is seriously skilled =)

  • @meggiebera Judging by your grammar and spelling skills, and your dislike for Owl City (which I can't imagine the reason for...), I'm guessing you like something along the lines of Justin Bieber. Just a guess, don't sue me if I'm wrong.

    But if I'm correct, and you do, in fact, listen to Justin Bieber, then can I inform hyou on something. His songs sound more the same than Owl City songs do. Girlish voice, pop music, and rapping mixed in. Every song of his I've heard has that.

  • Dude Owl City always makes me want to cry cuz all these songs make me emotionally touched in my heart!
