    Lyrics:
    I woke up
    On a wave that crashes
    When will the tide return
    And if you leave
    With only ashes
    Can't rebuild what has been burned
    And down the road
    With all the seeds grown
    And benefit of view
    We throw away
    The things we want most
    Depending on our mood
    I don't know where you are
    I don't know where I'm going
    But I can't be that far
    From where your heart is flowing
    Just like fireflies
    Briefly held, meant to be let go
    Somewhere in the night
    The words you spoke will always light
    An echo in my mind
    A last goodbye, one breath within our
    Ever shifting lives
    Spare your cries there will be no reply
    I can't know where to start
    If you don't let down your guard
    A distance much too far
    Cause we are...
    Just like fireflies
    A mirror to the stars that drift out
    Somewhere in the night
    The words you spoke will always light
    An echo in my mind
    A last goodbye, one breath within our
    Ever shifting lives
    The vast divided skies we're meant to fly

    Get on top of the whole cloning thing, science. Because we need at least 6 Dannies so they can each work fulltime on all the goddamned projects he's involved in. One can be the dedicated Grump-Dan...NSP, Starbomb, Skyhill and TWRP can each have one, and uh.........I'll just..I'll just take the other one home with me. For reasons.

    Usually when I hear new songs where Dan sings, I don't pay at all attention to what he's singing or what the lyrics are the first time. I just get lost in the awesome melody of his soothing voice and the amazing music accompanying it.

    • @Charriii5
      @Charriii5 8 років тому +17

      +Charriii5 And now I just read the lyrics and am depressed. Welp. That escalated REALLY darn quickly.

    • @valhalla_1129
      @valhalla_1129 8 років тому +7

      +Charriii5 Lyrics are always incredibly important to me, so the first thing when I heard this song on their Facebook post was searching for it on the internet to find the lyrics so I can sing along.
      But damn, I'll never sing as well as Dan, he is too good for me.
      Also, please cheer up, listen to other Skyhill songs so- oh wait...won't help, they're almost all depressing.

    Danny... please stop drowning your voice with reverb. Tone it back a bit so your natural sibilance and timbre isn't compromised.
    You're making the same decision engineers did in the 80's.
    "Digital reverb is new and makes everything sound so good! PUT THAT SHIT ON EVERYTHING!"
    Overusing reverb usually makes a mix sound cheap. A great way I've found of preserving the vocal while still having a large, present reverb is side-chain compressing the vocal itself to the reverb Aux track. This will pull down the reverb while you're singing, and will release it back to its original level after a line is complete.

      DDSgames NSP doesn't hit the mark very often, especially since Danny became good friends with Arin, and i hate starbomb. if it isn't Arin's rapping it's Danny not having any good melodies to work with.

      +The Fumbo Muffin He stated in one of the Gamegrumps videos that he gave up on doing serious songs in favor of something he could have fun doing. It's not unheard of. There's another band called Edguy which has done pretty much the same. Danny's voice is amazing, no doubt. I would very much like to see him headline on future Starbomb albums with Arin playing support, instead of how it is now.

    Danny, Peter. It's been four years since you released this little tune. I didn't know at the time the significance it would have to me. I have spent my life alone, with very little intimacy or love, and recently I had a small fling with a wonderful girl. We were supposed to be together for a long time, we were both excited.
    She realized today that she was still in love with her ex, and was substituting me for him while lying to herself. This song has helped me shoulder this pain and stay strong, I even finished college today!
    I want you guys to know just how important your music is to me, that I am still alive because of it's message and the power it carries. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart thank you for being the light in a world so dark.

    • @Yeti547

      Danny and the people around him seem to have that effect. Rather it be this, NSP, Game Grumps, or whatever
      They just seem to radiate this positive energy via personality, music, and comedy.
      And I’m glad you’re doing better now bro, congrats on finishing college! And I feel you, breakups suck but, you made it out alive and well and that’s all that matters in the end. I pray that Danny sees this so he can see yet another time his position has made an impact on someone.

    @WhitfieldsFoodRevue 8 років тому +142

    I can speak from an engineer writer, musician and singer's point of view here and he is NOT using auto-tune at all. It's backtracking harmonizing. Which is truly difficult to do. His use of reverb and chorus is par for the course. There isn't a singer out there that doesn't use it. The complaints are extremely unwarranted. To each their own, but he has a terrific voice and can FX it however he wants to. He is the artist. I personally would never go dry on vocals, EVER. To all who complain. Just remember this. If you can understand what he is saying. He isn't that effected. Many mainstream and mega producers make it to where their singers are unintelligible. This is a really good song, done by super professionals.. I should know.. I am one ;)

    When I clicked on this glorious masterpiece. I didn't know what it was at first. It seemed to have a nice beat, nice sway of music...
    Then Danny began to sing.
    I was at first, shocked. I thought "No... Maybe someone who sounds similar...?" But as it went on, I was more sure it was him. Then I looked through the comments.
    And oh my god... It was actually him! You don't know how happy that made me, knowing there is more music by this lovely man I can sit back and listen to...

    I've loved Skyhill since I found the Rin With The Hunted album sometime around summer of 2013, when I was still in high school. That album got me through a real rough patch of mental health issues. Now, almost nine years later, I've revisited the band after the loss of my mom. This song, especially, has really resonated with me since it happened. I assume it is referring to a platonic or romantic partner, but the lyrics have brought me some comfort in this situation regardless. My mother was a firefly. Although I had to let her go, I will always remember her words and actions as echoes, and that will keep her spirit alive. Thanks, guys. Your music means so much in times like these. ❤

I've let someone go, I threw away the thing I wanted most just because I was upset with him. We were just like fireflies, and I let him go. I keep remembering him, he echoes in my mind, I reminisce about the good times we had and currently I am beating myself up for breaking it off with him. Honestly this song voices everything I've been feeling in a beautiful way. Thank you Skyhill, I love you guys and hope you will continue orchestrating meaning lyrics like these.

      +Ridge Jordan Nah. His favorite band is Rush, yes, but that's a far cry from guitar-shredding and drum banging in the way you're thinking. Danny Sexbang gets a lot of his persona from bands like Spinal Tap (which should tell you how much of a persona it is lol), but that doesn't mean he wants to be The Darkness or something. (I say this because I bet you're thinking of him making music like Eric Nally).

    dude. this was freaking peaceful. the combination of the bass, the piano, and Dan's wide range of voice make this really go together to create a masterpiece.

    Hearing Danny sing like this feels different, but it that refreshing kind of different. Whatever he sings gains so much feeling. You can tell that Danny just radiates passion when he sings. Danny will honestly be one of the greats like Geddy Lee and Steve Perry to me. I hope he always stays this way.

      it's the mixing, starbomb had a wider sound, meaning the instruments are more spread, this I a good song, but yeah could use some eq work too.

    Man, when I first heard that Danny had Skyhill in our lives over two years ago, I was ecstatic when I sat down and listened to their whole album. The world needs more music like this, this amalgamation of electro folksy kind of music.

    Dan. I never really got into NSP because it's just not serious enough for me, but if you guys make an album based on this song, I will in an instant buy the entire thing twice and give the 2nd copy to a good friend. This is utterly fantastic.
