Lightning Bugs [Fireflies - Owl City] [Translation song]

[ARMOROID5000]

I have no idea what a translation song is, but sounds.....indecyferable/and or zero check sum net. haha. anyway you have REAL singing talent i must say! I would put your voice up there with daviddays videos! great work, kudos to you mate!!!

[jonnydarkmusic]

@rayraymarion Er no, I'm English...

[sweethartluky131]

Wow, you are so cute

[DericBecker]

What software

[gianluigibuffonswife]

you really know how to play guitar!

i kinda like your singing eventhough it's not perfect. (:

[lyricistgirl]

That's pretty funny. Nice voice too.

[JokerRelapse]

Ah lol.

This is a little slice of awesome :')

[10CPhil]

Clever idea! That's a bloody difficult thing to do off the cuff!!

[TuneVibezRadio]

I had a go but doing french. the first few lines were the same but after that it came up with something about being rude and staring haha

[scootacrew]

i dont understand the translation? whats the difference between the words

[jonnydarkmusic]

...look at the original lyrics for 'fireflies' by owl city. Then look at the lyrics I double translated. All should become clear.

[FunkiPigeon]

On blogtv you were a legend! This just gets better and better...hmmm, you free for doing a gig at my 16th? :D

[chelderkin]

that's amazing! :)

Go - Boys Like Girls :D

[pamanrom]

For a song starting with G how about "Ghost of York" by As Tall as Lions, i think that song would be so great. Btw this video was so cool!

[jenni27jenni]

aww nice video :)

owl city ♥

x

[RaaaytselM]

aghhh, im sorry, but you kind of killed this song, im sorry, the rest are great but you didnt quite some of those notes right. granted its harder as a translation song but when you sang 'i think i want to' thats was out, quite painfully so, every time. this is one of my favourite songs and i have to say i was dissapointed, again im sorry ♥

[jonnydarkmusic]

I had a sore throat and a cold and I spent the rest of the day in bed. And really, I was trying harder to fit in words which made no grammatical sense into measures that were written to fit 25% less words. I know I can't sing very well anyway either. I'm very sorry, I hope you can forgive me.

[ArcadiaTheAngelsGame]

dude... WHAT THE HELL!!!

you can sing amazing, dont apologise for something that made no sense in the first place!!

if anyone says you arnt amazing i'll killl them for you!!

[jonnydarkmusic]

Haha don't worry I had a moment of bitchyness, I really can't sing that great though, I'm very aware of this, I can hold a tune though just about.

[ArcadiaTheAngelsGame]

yh... im sticking to the fact that you can sing :)

if you couldnt i wouldnt listen to you sing, it is a general thing that you only listen to people sing if you think they are good...unless you are completely insane

[RaaaytselM]

its ok mate, i know you are a good singer really, i know this must have been really hard.

[BreakMyHeart13]

xD i love you, especially when you started singing I like the rain.

For G i think you should cover The Gift by Angels and Airwaves. [well, if you wanna get technical about it, it starts with t. but still. the key word starts with g.]

[myoxoeuphoria]

Not sure what happened to my other comment but awesome job again :D!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love Fireflies by Owl city; like the only song I really like by them; and I have always said Its better acoustic; and even better as a translation : P.

[SensationSelina]

LoL

[Mihker]

i dont get it...

[jonnydarkmusic]

I translated the lyrics from English into Japanese and then back into English. The result are very mangled lyrics that somewhat resemble the originals.

[Mihker]

Ah, thanks for lighting up my brain :) Why not just sing the original? :D nvm.. was good ^^
