- We are always doing covers for radio stations so we decided to do one for ourselves. So here is a cover version of Fireflies by Owl City along with some footage from our Video Blogs.
Where HAS this band gone!? Brilliant listening to them again after years.
farewell EM. you've made a lot of great memories back then
AMAZING. LOVE LOVE LOVE.
Please come back I love this band so much
This is amazing!!! I cannot stop listening to it!
love you guys!
this is cool stuff .
love it!
you guys are just legends :) love the video... looks like it was so much fun to put together :)
This band is so good
Loving the cover guys :D
It's better than the original, too.
I can't stop rewinding it back to when Ed just walks past the camera with a huge cheesy smile :')
omg the opening!! ;) i love it guys, well done x]
Amazing band
8 years and still the best cover out there guys xo
Thank you, my british friend, Stephen! You are amazing for telling me about this band!
Omg i love this better than the real version, but probably just coz its use guys xxx GREAT WORK
I love the new lyrics version xD
Haha, you guys blew that song out of the water. :) Awesome job!
I burst out laughing in the middle of McDonalds when i heard this and everyone turned to stare at me. Great job guys!
Amaaaaazingg
Love it
Whoa.. love both versions. Owl City's version is calmer but i think this one pwns it xD
I dont get why people are whining on this video, it's not like 'minor did this to make profit, infact they did it for fun - can you not tell by Alex's lyric change? Kerrang liked it and wanted to play it on TV, I don't see whats wrong with that personally.
The original never grew on me but this one does - the harmonies are richer and having two voices makes the change in the verses and choruses great. Nice one lads :)
Oh my god, my respect for elliot minor has gone up so much now haha. love it
I love Owl City - and I LOVE Elliot Minor
= AMAZING cover XD
I like this better than the original! Love what you've done with it!! xxx
So you know, the members of Elliot Minor were all classically trained, and they certainly understand more about music than the "teen-pop rock" you're putting down. Say who you think the "greats" of music are, but Elliot Minor's cover here is enough to prove that they can take a song like Fireflies and turn it into a musically full and altogether impressive orchestration of something that was once merely "teen-pop rock."
Love it!! =] x
Don't know the song, but this is freaking AWESOME!!!
Omg. I miss the EM tv days!!
i love this version i think its sooo much better than the original :P xx
please post the download link.. i went to the address you told us about but couldnt find it :(
I miss you guys :/
legendssssss :)
this version is sooo much better than the original!
They split up ages ago :/ They were the band that got me into the rock genre too, sad times :(
way better than the original! I hated the original, but this is just awesome:P
agreed
haha this is brilliant
96 people don't imagine the world turns slowly...
@balliehead me too!!
@akiugn i was there wednesday too :)
XD great. so great.
Lol its great but whydid u change the lyrics?
ahahaha! That's awesome.! x)
@Deotriese yes in the funyn way lol and it betetr stil lol
@oldbonesmcgee i don't think he is gay... can't see anything saying he is?
If you think its bad, simplez, don't comment :P Personally, I love it, therefore i'm a total addict to this song
hate the origional, but LOVE this one! =D
@balliehead Oh, but it is :)
he does doesnt he? :L
@oldbonesmcgee Adam Young is not gay.
@wowbringer I don't give a shit what the fanpages say. Go listen to some of Elliot Minor's other stuff before you go judging them, kaaay? And just because it's not on the fucking radio doesn't mean it's shit or whatever because incase you hadn't noticed, not ALL songs are played on the radio.
hmmm ... LONG LIVE THE ORIGINAL !!!!
lmfao. LEGANDS :)
@youxknowxyouxluvxit yup lol ^^
had to listen to it again to make sure he said dildo XD im dying ahahahah
haha i like this version better for some reason, not that owl city's version is any worser...
nice alternate lyrics....
Please come back :(
this is sooooo much bett than the orgianal!! I
Great cover! We miss you, Elliot Minor!
They're back, kind of. Maybe permanently. We haven't a clue. But at least they're playing two shows
donttellthebrideband
nope. its their final show ;'/ lucky those who will go to their concert
I've got tickets for their gig on the 28th Yay!!
Elliot Minor isthe best band ever atm :D
lol!! it was so serious and like you know a good cover, and then random joke lyrics! You just gotta laugh.
this is the best cover i have heard, probably better then the original! :P i sooo admire Elliot Minor, they make my admiration of becoming a musician increase!
Didn't even notice the lyric change till my friend pointed it out. Me like :)

@darakeownmusic1999 the song wasnt anything special in the first place, i dont get the hype about it, but elliot minor did a good job... certainly didnt murder it
@wowbringer Yes it does matter, otherwise it just means they are just a one hit wonder. They produce one amazingly catchy song and the rest of the album is just regular songs that no one except maybe a fan would like. And in any case this is only a cover, you should listen to their singles to judge the quality of their songs. I admire Eliot Minor when I stumbled across a 28 days later cover and liked them ever since.
lmao is that what i think it says lol, never heard that before...... :S
Yes a dildo under my bed
this came on in colege today on music4- whooo hooooo!!! everyone was staring at me like WTF, but then again i was singing along at the top of my voice...love u guys keep doin ur stuff its awesome!!!!
@CALLOFDUTYisBAD01 2 weeks!? Oh God, please no! Anything but that. I might have to go get some sun, maybe find a job and get a life. You know, just like you? Oh wait...
at 1:25 who is teachin alex to dance cos dat boy soooooooo needs lessons lol- only jokin u alex lovers that r out there so don't take it too seriously..hehehe
nope thats not true, they r letting u download it 4 free if u go to their website soooooooo they aren't making a profit
wow this is astounding.
I don't much like the original but this is just amazing. (^_^)
You guys never fail to astound me.
Yeah, I saw it on Kerrang and thought "This is pretty cool that they played this on TV too" it's not like they want to get profit by playing a kind of well known song, I think it's good that they messed about and sang this song :) I like the changes to make it more their style too.
FYI adam young created all the songs from of june and maybe im dreaming but he created the ones for ocean eyes but they were recorded with like loads of people doing the different instruments and there are 6 people when he plays live so yhh ^_^ just thought i'd say
Im not really saying that, Elliot Minor have released this...seen it on Kerrang ect. I dont like either of the versions but i would give owl city there time in the limelight because no doubt they will just be a one hit wonder. all i say is give the other artists time to enjoy it
@chocolatecake742
Well, Chocolate Cake, although this song is witty and amusing, the Earth spins at up to about 1,038 miles per hour, or about 1670 kilometers per hour.
So I'd hope people don't imagine that too often. :P Habits tend to lead to beliefs.
I got the exact same hat that Alex is wearing at 3:00 ^___^
I must say I do really like this cover but I do prefer Owl City's.
Seeing EM in April for like the 14th/15th time :D
They are amazing & such lovely & gorgeous guys ;)
xx
I'm not sure if you even read your comments, and I'm not one to post them normally, but I just wanted to let you know my breath caught in my throat after hearing the beginning. I guess there's a reason you're my favorite band. :)
adore this song... and LOVE your version ^^ xxx
@SugarMuffin101
u can have ED, i want dandy............... he is soooooooooo cute when he's bored awwwwwwww =D
i thought id get hate for my comment lol but i got 7 thumbs up!! :D
Covers usually put a bands own personal stamp on it and I this doesnt sound any different from Owl City. Singing sounds the same, most of the music does as well expect a bit of guitar.
he isnt even intune half the time, what people dont understand is that owl city uses TONNES of effects so its pretty hard to cover it, also their synth line adaption is shocking
this song has actually been out for years, i've been listening to owl city for over two years now, it's only recently his songs have been on the radio and he's had more publicity
wat the honest god is this LMMMMMFAO HEARD HIS VOICE AT THE BEGINNING omg ... im sorry but this is very ...awful :| ... owl city owns this bitch ... BUT ELLIOT MINOR IS STILL PURE LOVE (L)
Yeah but, who wrote the song? Not elliot minor.
Thats Owl City's style of music - its not 'manufactured'.
Its not that i don't like Elliot Minor. I just think this cover is awful.
@TheBIGMAC147 It's not just that, it's the whole tone of the song, they kinda missed the point. In a grand scheme of things to worry about it doesn't matter, no. |D
This is awesome! like sooo cute
Why didn't you played this on The Powerfest saturday? That would have been very awesome! But it was awesome anyways! :)
lot's of love
i was pessemistic but i gae it a listen and i actually like it. love the owl city version but this one lacks what i hate about owl city the over the top american accent. x
I heard this on kerrang and I think the cover of this song is quite gd i woz thinkin 2 myself did they copy owl city or not but i don't care now! BOTH VERSIONS ROCK!
im sorry to all you elliot minor fans but this real bad and i think they should of covered and released a song that is quite old, the original hasnt been around for long.
my firend told me to youtube this song coz she thought it was rubish and tommorow when i see the i have to slap her around the face coz THIS IS MORE EPIC THAN THE ORIGANAL :P
Wasn't a good song originally, doesn't sound any better by Elliot Minor. Still, it's fun to see that they're attempting to cover every popular song that was ever released. xD
@MrHuntForGame The computer is just a tool to convey it. The magic is in the innocent lyrics and spirit of the song. Dildo comments sorta take it out of it.
oh my god, guys, what are u doing at 0:39?? :D rolf :D
by the way, i like this version much more than original, but i think your own music is even better ;)
I loved it. Took all of the awful cheesiness and sublime quality of the original track. Owl City is just completely predictable and sub-par... Loving Elliot Minor!
Hmm, if I'm honest I prefer the original version, but this is pretty kickass. I can't image a better cover, and it's Elliot Minor so of course I still love it :)
@upstato its obvious u love the crappy music i respect that but u should listen to better music
