[BearKeys]

@Aftereffect2011 Thanks! :)

[BearKeys]

I bought an auto-tune so this sounds more like the record when I do it live :)

[Libbiant]

can you say multitasking? great work man i love all of your covers and originals :)

[BearKeys]

@Libbiant Thanks! Sorry it took so long to answer but the public computer I was using had YouTube blocked.

[JaceFreeze]

Do you have a facebook?? I LOVE YOUR WORK!

[BearKeys]

@JaceFreeze  just put bearkeys after facebook.com

[BrittanyAlto]

Wayy better than mine I <3 this

[BearKeys]

@BrittanyAlto Thank you! Sorry it took so long to respond, YouTube is blocked at the library where I go online so I hardly ever get a chance to get on here. As soon as I get my own computer, I will check out your version :)

[tomT024]

how did you get your keyboard to record that??? what kind do you have

[BearKeys]

@tomT024 The keyboard is a Fantom X8. You can record sequences into it. I actually played every note of this song, but the very beginning part was played earlier so I could concentrate on the bell part that comes later :) Thanks for your comment!

[BertTheBest123]

LOL....

[MrStimpy77]

Hey just a suggestion on getting more views: Rename it, so instead of naming it "Fireflies", name it "Fireflies by Owl City (cover by BearKeys)". :)

[BearKeys]

@MrStimpy77 I might do that, at least mention Owl City in the title :)

[TheMusicmaker96]

I SWEAR TO GOD MAN THIS IS BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL

and 1000 of those views came from me XD

[BearKeys]

@TheMusicmaker96 Wow, then you know this vid better than I do :D I haven't seen it THAT many times! Thanks!! :)

[TheMusicmaker96]

[Kneyos555]

[BearKeys]

@Kneyos555 Well, so far no, but there's always the future :D

[MrMusicalLion]

Singing! nice ^_^ I've never heard the original of this song, funnily enough.

[BearKeys]

@MrMusicalLion It's played everywhere. Go to OwlCityVEVO if you're curious about how the versions compare. My singing definitely isn't up to Adam Young's, but I had fun doing this one :)

[albrenza]

Wow, one of my fave, very nice version! ;D

[BearKeys]

@albrenza Thank you! I really appreciate that! :)

[Kneyos555]

[BearKeys]

@Kneyos555 Thank you! I didn't think it would work without the vocal :)

[JtothaMueller]

this was SUCH a great listen and watch, you make me want a keyboard so so bad

~Joe

[BearKeys]

@JtothaMueller Thanks! Wish I could get you one :)

[BearKeys]

Thanks everyone for 1000 views :)

[christopher9000p]

Sounds good, Bear. BTW, I'd like you to check out a friend of mine Ladiva1980. She's a guitarist and vocalist.

[mlavik1]

Like it!! You sing really well, as well as being an amazing pianist/keyboardist!

You should make a CD sometime!

[BearKeys]

@mlavik1 Thank you! I do have a CD but I made it before I started singing :)

[KeolifTalks]

i love and can play dis song too, you awesome, thumb up^

[BearKeys]

@KeolifTalks Thank you, my friend :)

[bridgettenicolee]

Excellent cover!! Love it :)

~Bridgette

[BearKeys]

@bridgettenicolee Thank you so much! I know I have a lot of competition on this one ..

[BearKeys]

Thanks everybody for getting this vid off to a good start! :)

[monkabine]

Pretty amazing, Bear! Difficult song but you pulled it off - enjoyed! - Mike

[BearKeys]

@monkabine Thank you! It doesn't compare with your stuff, but hey I had a little fun blowing my throat out anyways :D

[Halunlimited]

Wonderful to listen to and watch. Good to the last Ding at B Flat. Congrats on a challenging production.

[BearKeys]

@Halunlimited That last B-flat was key. If I hit it too loud, I would have had to start over :D 

[TheSethGalleyChannel]

never realy liked Owl City or this Song, BUT BEAR'S VIRSON OF ANYTHING IS ALWAYS BEARTASTIC :D

[BearKeys]

@TheSethGalleyChannel Thank you! If I ever use the word "Beartastic" in any promotions, I promise to give you credit for the term :D

[daantjebest]

One word... Amazing!

[BearKeys]

@daantjebest Thank you!  I'm very pleased at the response so far :)

[BrokenBrooms]

This is awesom Bear! I was really curious how it would turn out, but you did great. I love how you simulated the music so well, I imagine without any sheet music? It's a super difficult song to perform vocally, certainly if not in your range, but a lot of respect for you, for pulling it off!

[BearKeys]

@BrokenBrooms Thank you and it's wonderful to hear from you again! My throat muscles are permanently stretched :D

[4110fearnot]

Amazing!! I love it :) ~~Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Team Shelby Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ~~

[BearKeys]

@4110fearnot Thank you! I wasn't sure I could hit the high notes ... I'm still not sure :D

[especiallyemily]

yay (: finally

[BearKeys]

@especiallyemily Gosh I hope I did it OK. Those high notes really stretched my throat :D

[CrusaderBeach]

This is so cool :)

[BearKeys]

@CrusaderBeach Thank you! I realize I have a lot of competition with this song, everyone is doing it.

[jackyliciousxmusic]

lovely :)

[BearKeys]

@jackyliciousxmusic Thank you! And thank you for being such a wonderful friend :)

[InfernoWolf11]

I thought your voice wouldn't work with this, I was very wrong. Great work, man.

[BearKeys]

@InfernoWolf11 I didn't think my voice would work with it either. I practiced almost eight weeks on just the vocal. Thanks for your comment! :)

[romantikpiyano]

its nice

[BearKeys]

@romantikpiyano Thank you! :)

[tomilee197578]

very nice ;)

[BearKeys]

@tomilee197578  Thanks! I'm relieved that the response has been mostly positive so far :)

[monster98012]

LOVED IT

[BearKeys]

@monster98012 Thank you! I know the competition is fierce on this one ...

[Shane88L]

I like it !

[BearKeys]

@Shane88L Thank you! :)

[hawered]

This is amazing. I can't stop hitting the replay button! Thank you so much for covering Fireflies! It turned out awesome!!!

[BearKeys]

@hawered Thanks, buddy, I wasn't at all sure I was going to be able to do it. I practiced the vocal for 55 days straight. I can sing the song in my sleep now :D

[wanapiss]

holy crap i think i just cried a little bit...

[BearKeys]

@wanapiss  So did I , because my throat hurts from stretching for the high notes :D

[micalishis]

Nice! You're not a bad singer either! Also, I got Rock Band 3 with the keyboard and it is harder than it looks! Kudos to you.

[BearKeys]

@micalishis Thank you! I know about Rock Band but never actually saw it in action :)
