In 2009 I graduated highschool, and remember this song coming out. And all I want to say is that we are in 2022 and it feels like a long dream. Like I’m going to wake up back in 2009. It’s a very happy/ sad conflicted feeling. I couldn’t wait to get older back then, but now I wish I could relive those years and stop aging. I just want to tell whoever is ready this. If you are younger, don’t take it for granted and enjoy every second!
such a beautiful song, reminds me of my childhood. If I could give any advice to the younger generation it would be to enjoy your childhood. Once it's gone it's gone. Enjoy it while you can.
This is one of the most nostalgic songs I will ever listen to. I grew up listening to this. Owl city actually ran under another artist name called sky sailing, and together they are honestly my favorite songs.
The sad thing is that, we grew up listening to this song and being happy while doing so and now some of us listen to it and reminisce about those days, wishing we could go back
Here I am, 25 years old with a wife and 2 kids, but for 4 minutes and 29 seconds I feel nothing but the youthful bliss of my childhood. The older I get, the more this song means to me.
For me, the “fireflies” are the memories of childhood, some of which the singer has carried with him to adulthood as the few he saved and “kept in a jar.”
My best friends moved from Buffalo NY to Nepal in Asia to spread the word of God. Their parents are missionaries. This was their favorite song and we would always sing it as we climbed to the top of their tree. Thank you Ethan, Eli and Maddie for sharing so many memories with me. You mean the world to me.
Lyrics: You would not believe your eyes If ten million fireflies Lit up the world as I fell asleep 'Cause they fill the open air And leave teardrops everywhere You'd think me rude but I would just stand and stare I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep 'Cause everything is never as it seems 'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs From ten thousand lightning bugs As they tried to teach me how to dance A foxtrot above my head A sock hop beneath my bed A disco ball is just hanging by a thread (thread, thread) I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep 'Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep) Leave my door open just a crack Please take me away from here 'Cause I feel like such an insomniac Please take me away from here Why do I tire of counting sheep? Please take me away from here When I'm far too tired to fall asleep To ten million fireflies I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes I got misty eyes as they said farewell (they said farewell) But I'll know where several are If my dreams get real bizarre 'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar (jar, jar, jar) I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep 'Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep) I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep 'Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)
I'd like to connect it - I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly it's hard to say that id rather stay awake iam asleep cause my dreams are bursting out the scene
This song makes me miss being a kid so much!.. Back when I'd climb trees in forests and swim in rivers with friends, Back when I'd get butterflies in my tummy talking to a girl I liked in school, Back when I'd go to my Grandparents house after school and play Super Mario 64 then they'd take me out for a milkshake. Back when getting a puppy was a new addition to a full happy family and not just a companion to keep you company in an empty apartment. No job, no rent, no heartbreak or people I trust stabbing me in the back... Just me, the Sunshine and a World to explore
yesterday was my last day of senior year. It was raining all day. It’s still raining right now, as I walk around near my elementary school. Playing this makes me feel a little bit of the magic I felt back then. I’d do anything to go back to elementary school. It was all so simple back then. I’m afraid of growing up. At least this song makes me feel a little less afraid.
I love Fireflies song ever since it came out. I was 10 when this came out. I loved it. Laying on the grass and watching night skies, stars. I love my country Philippines.
This takes me back to when my father was alive, and I took everything for granted. I thought my life was so boring and now I realize that having a “boring” life with the people you love is not so bad. I’m so miserable now and I just don’t know what to do anymore.
Hey, we are here to help. Do not lose hope and, at least, live for them, making your life a good one and do not forget them. It's hard to go on but you are not alone❤
I just turned 18 30 minutes ago. And am scared but also slightly hopeful. I remember this song from when I was a little kid so played it. I remember hearing this song on my old iPod Touch because my brother had bought it off of iTunes. This song is special because of the memories attached to it.
A little advice, try to enjoy each and every moment , no matter how small. Because when you grow up , only the smallest of things will bring happiness.
Remember to live in the moment. Don’t always chase the next thing. Slow down and take mental pictures when you’re having the time of your life because you’ll eventually realize that time you were having was one of the best.
Yeah, I'm almost 20 now, I understand what it feels like, but not to be a party pooper but, on the "smaller picture", nothing really changes, things start changing slowly, you'll have to be even more responsible and careful, because you can be accountable for more things while also being pressured by work, study, all that, but you can manage it, stay safe, God bless, and good luck
I just experienced for the first time, a song that I have heard a thousand and one times becoming a COMPLETELY New experience. My Mom passed this Aug 2021 my Nanny exactly three months later. This is the first time I've heard this song since the events and man...Unbelievable punch to the gut of nostalgia, memories of my mom, and just a feeling of emptiness that I have never ever felt. I am grateful though, it's been super hard to process things. 😪
Hey, I know you don't know me but just wanted to say hope you're doing better. From someone who has also had a terrible week I hope you are doing somewhat better :)
@@Luke-qn1sr fortunately I'm doing great. Back then I had the most stressful weeks of study since I started the university and it was really rough. But after hearing that song it really help me relax and think better. Now I'm at the gym everyday and it helps me a lot with this kind of things. And when I want to relax I hear this song & it really calms me. Thanks for the response bro. And I really hope your week gets a lot better. 🤜🤛
@@blackout9108 thanks for the response. Glad to know you're doing better, it restores my hopes of bettering myself and my life a little. Thankfully next week is shaping up to be a bit better. Currently feel like I'm drifting a bit but it's better than being down in the dumps. Be well man 🤜🤛
this song hits something in my soul a feeling i have not felt for awhile the feeling of mixed joy of the memories nostalgia of the past the sadness knowing i cant go back and the peace
I said this in another comment but my dad died when I was nine. But the teddy bear he gave me when I was born, The Wii, and this song in particular really help me go and know times get better. I was 1 when this song was released. I'm able to drive now. Man do I miss him 1970-2016
i used to hate this song until i heard it slowed down. that really hit me hard and i started thinking more. i’ve never been self conscious but this made me rethink my life and think about all the good and bad i’ve done
‘a nice cool July fourth evening in 2012,blasting this on the old speakers we own.Playing with your favorite cousins.Sipping some soda,as we waited for the fireworks.’ nostalgia.
Everyone else listens to this and misses their childhood... I never got to have that happy childhood where everything was okay, I don't miss it. But this song and artist were very special to me in my late teens because it took me to a place where i felt i was experiencing that feeling everyone else seems to miss so much. Owl City reminds others of happy memory. To me it is the happy memory.
This song always makes me feel like a kid again. I just imagine myself an adolescent, laying down on the grass on a late summer night. Sometimes it reminds me of 4th of July, sometimes it reminds me of my friends house, or sitting outside on the patio making smores. I really wish I could go back to the early 2010s.
To me, this song is the epitome of childhood imagination and blissful ignorance about the bad parts of life. Everytime I listen to it it's like I'm 12 again, where everything was new and exciting, and if it wasn't I'd make it fun. I felt truly alive and closely in tune with my surroundings. There was no trauma or fear clouding my brain. I've spent the past 5 years or so trying hard not to lose that mindset because in this world, you have to create your own happiness, and stability, and always count your blessings.
I sadly did not really grow up with this song. Actually, I'm still in my early teens. I'm happy to see that many people have an emotional connection to this song as I didn't grow up during the years when this song had a strong impact.
And yeah, I'm listening this on February 6th 2022😞 Time flew so fast.. I didn't realize I'm making memories.. All I did was having fun... Didn't knew this song would hit me this hard bro.... dammit... Anyone who see this, stay strong I believe in you!! We maybe seen as strangers someday, but the feelings of keep living is worth a thousand of fireflies✨
This makes me think about all the good times gaming from 2006. I’ll never forget the memories of us all playing games online for so many hours a day with no struggles in life
Song reminds me of 2019. I literally did the simplest things with my friends, went to discount stores, went to the movies, and even though I’m 20, it was the first time I ever played Minecraft. Had so much fun with it. Now it’s 2021 one and I haven’t seen any of my friends since then, haven’t seen a movie since then, and haven’t gone shopping and actually enjoyed it and haven’t touched a game since. Moral of the story is whoever is reading this and is still young. Enjoy it. The good times and the bad times. Cause the truth is, I would literally kill just to revisit those times…
@@aidenhorton18 my life isn’t bad :) it’s just we all matured and focused on our responsibilities. And there’s nothing wrong with that. Just enjoy the small little things like that cause you’ll look back on it and always cherish them. Cheers ✨
I really wanted to cry because those childhood days won't come back again . I used to listen this song Everynight while looking up and counting the stars .
i don't have a past like most people here.. i don't see any memory when i listen to this song. all i feel is nostalgia for something i never had or something i wish i had, and this sad feeling about how wasted and uninterested my life has been and will be. the lyrics are just so fitting.. i just want everything to stop or just slow down.. so i could stop and breathe without feeling like i am running out of time.
I miss being a kid so much.. I remember having real friends who didn't use me I hate being a teen This song reminds me of the good old days before 2020
The nostalgia of the intro makes my chest ache. I remember standing in school listening to this over 10 years ago and it feels like it was last week ❤️🩹
My sister was really into metal and rock during her high school years. I just liked Owl City and movie soundtracks. She was going through shit back then (I didn't know she had problems at that time) but she would make fun of me for listening to this kind of music and would call it boring. Nowadays I just listen whatever I feel like, doesn't matter the genre or artist, and I still kinda resent everybody for making me feel ashamed of what I loved, but I have learned that they usually projecting insecurities, and that we have all grown up past that. I'm 20 and I still listen to Owl City, his song are vibes themselves and I just think if anyone is rejecting any form of art without a solid reason they are missing out.
I first heard it at McDonald’s ( yeah ), but I was so young, and every time I heard it somewhere, I always remember this time where I was eating, playing so joyful, and being so happy about life

Lyrics: You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
'Cause they fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude but I would just stand and stare
I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread (thread, thread)
I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)
Leave my door open just a crack
Please take me away from here
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
Please take me away from here
Why do I tire of counting sheep?
Please take me away from here
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
To ten million fireflies
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell (they said farewell)
But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar (jar, jar, jar)
I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)
I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)

True. It's my wallpaper now.
This is why animation is great
This version of yours is SO fucking underrated... I love it but at the same time it makes me really sad... Nostalgia... Keep up dude😘
This song always makes me feel like a kid again. I just imagine myself an adolescent, laying down on the grass on a late summer night. Sometimes it reminds me of 4th of July, sometimes it reminds me of my friends house, or sitting outside on the patio making smores. I really wish I could go back to the early 2010s.
I don't know what it is, but everything that Owl City does is just sounds magical.
To me, this song is the epitome of childhood imagination and blissful ignorance about the bad parts of life. Everytime I listen to it it's like I'm 12 again, where everything was new and exciting, and if it wasn't I'd make it fun. I felt truly alive and closely in tune with my surroundings. There was no trauma or fear clouding my brain. I've spent the past 5 years or so trying hard not to lose that mindset because in this world, you have to create your own happiness, and stability, and always count your blessings.
such a pure nostalgia song, thanks for making this version. miss my childhood so muchhh🥺
2010, 17 years old, so many good memories. Take me back😢
You can't do it because the past can't be repeated.

Lil bro isn't even that old😭🙏
@@wickeddave5148 id say 31 is decently old
This is the best slowed and reverb I've ever listened!!appriciate.
I miss 2016-2020, it was a meaningful year for me, thank you for filling me with beautiful things from the past

OMG I AM GLAD THIS APPEARED IN MY FYP IVE BEEN FINDING THIS SONG FOR OVER 6 YEARS NOW!
Night time + Raining +Walking Alone + This Song =💯💯💯
owl city made our childhood memories awesome. adam is a genius a superhero without cape.
I sadly did not really grow up with this song. Actually, I'm still in my early teens. I'm happy to see that many people have an emotional connection to this song as I didn't grow up during the years when this song had a strong impact.
And yeah, I'm listening this on February 6th 2022😞 Time flew so fast.. I didn't realize I'm making memories.. All I did was having fun... Didn't knew this song would hit me this hard bro.... dammit... Anyone who see this, stay strong I believe in you!! We maybe seen as strangers someday, but the feelings of keep living is worth a thousand of fireflies✨
omg same
Same pal
Same
It's 2024 now
i love this song so much, i can't actually emphasise how much this song means to me
3:43 epic and nostalgia
this makes me so happy oml 🥰
This song reminds me of all the good times I had as a kid. I guess I should’ve enjoyed it more
"Sir... did I fight well?"
"Yes private, you may rest now..."
3:42 this part made me tears up...
0:50 hits me so hard 😭
"It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep"
When you get older, the meaning is different for you🥲...
Jesus loves you all. What a blessing to be listening to this at this point in history ❤️ love you guys
This makes me think about all the good times gaming from 2006. I’ll never forget the memories of us all playing games online for so many hours a day with no struggles in life
In this twisted modern world we live in when nostalgia kicks in it just widens your smile~
Song reminds me of 2019. I literally did the simplest things with my friends, went to discount stores, went to the movies, and even though I’m 20, it was the first time I ever played Minecraft. Had so much fun with it. Now it’s 2021 one and I haven’t seen any of my friends since then, haven’t seen a movie since then, and haven’t gone shopping and actually enjoyed it and haven’t touched a game since. Moral of the story is whoever is reading this and is still young. Enjoy it. The good times and the bad times. Cause the truth is, I would literally kill just to revisit those times…
Damn and I thought my life was bad
@@aidenhorton18 my life isn’t bad :) it’s just we all matured and focused on our responsibilities. And there’s nothing wrong with that. Just enjoy the small little things like that cause you’ll look back on it and always cherish them. Cheers ✨
This song remind me of 2nd grade back in 2008. Singing this song in music class. Im 19 now. Times have changed :(
Minecraft... my heart breaks.
ok
3:49 🥰 remember me when this video gets famous
No sé ingles pero, I remind you that this video went viral
The video went viral alright!
this brings me to a different universe just sitting at the edge of the lake with my crush
This song holds thousands of memories bung
"dying isn't the hard part but the slience after that hurts the most"
beautiful ..that sounds so nice and lovely
I really wanted to cry because those childhood days won't come back again . I used to listen this song Everynight while looking up and counting the stars .
same. 😕
3:49 this hits so hard just slowly
2010s were the best days of my life, best childhood. 2020s has been so messed up man :(
don't cry because this was the end, smiling because we lived in that era.
Don't be sad bro your journey is still very far
1:40 Nostalgia
The best slowed version👑❤️
Best song ever written ever
Nostalgia is a natural defense mechanism, yet it is often gut wrenching and crippling
This is truly the anthem of childhood
this song gives me happyness happpy thoughts and its such a good vibe
Wow. I usually never listen to slowed-reverbs just because I don't find them good, but this one. WOW. Love it slerb!!
Makes me remember my childhood. If you're young and reading this. Enjoy your childhood. When it's gone it's really gone
Man im kinda crying this bring back the old memories
True bro
i don't have a past like most people here.. i don't see any memory when i listen to this song. all i feel is nostalgia for something i never had or something i wish i had, and this sad feeling about how wasted and uninterested my life has been and will be. the lyrics are just so fitting.. i just want everything to stop or just slow down.. so i could stop and breathe without feeling like i am running out of time.
when I go to sleep I always play this song because it's nice to listen to.
The fact that all we wanted as a kid was to grow up is so sad.
2:59 this is where cried because I remembered that I used to miss my childhood😔
4 years later… geez a less, I remember making a animation in my head with this song. I love this.
My childhood is great with this nostalgic song.i remember a lot.
This is so amazing 😭❤️
Listened to this at 3AM and I didn’t think of anything or did anything. Just sat there looking at the ceiling
I’m literally doing that rn
I miss being a kid so much..
I remember having real friends who didn't use me
I hate being a teen
This song reminds me of the good old days before 2020
Be glad you can still listen to this
The nostalgia of the intro makes my chest ache. I remember standing in school listening to this over 10 years ago and it feels like it was last week ❤️🩹
My sister was really into metal and rock during her high school years. I just liked Owl City and movie soundtracks. She was going through shit back then (I didn't know she had problems at that time) but she would make fun of me for listening to this kind of music and would call it boring. Nowadays I just listen whatever I feel like, doesn't matter the genre or artist, and I still kinda resent everybody for making me feel ashamed of what I loved, but I have learned that they usually projecting insecurities, and that we have all grown up past that. I'm 20 and I still listen to Owl City, his song are vibes themselves and I just think if anyone is rejecting any form of art without a solid reason they are missing out.
I first heard it at McDonald’s ( yeah ), but I was so young, and every time I heard it somewhere, I always remember this time where I was eating, playing so joyful, and being so happy about life
Just because we grow up, that doesn’t mean we stop being kids and just because we grow old, that doesn’t mean we have to grow up.
Fantastic slow version.
Normal speed to speed 1.25 are fantastic.
Thank you for making this.
this version is so good I looped it and I just gunna sit here and chill
