How Owl City wrote “Fireflies” in 2009. What a BANGER 🔥

[coolbrotherf]

Back in 2009, this song just played at all times from anything that could play music. It was inescapable.

No single song fills me with a greater feeling of melancholy and nostalgia than this song. No idea why. Long live Owl City

[Evasroses]

Owl City is just one guy...so...this works.

owl city and youtube are gonna be the closest thing we have to a time machine

[goner.]

This era of owl city is an innocent Christian boy making music on his own

[BlinkinFirefly]

Fireflies is one of my top ten all time favorite songs. Not just because I love fireflies. The composition is just amazing and beautiful to me. Adam Young is a true artist. I love so much of his work <3

[BadgerOfTheSea]

The fact the guy wrote it alone in his bedroom still astonishes me

[bebobaba]

It's such a beautiful and unique song plus the video gives me life with all the 80s toys

[dudguys]

It's kinda ironic the way that the song has become nostalgic for so many, even though the entire purpose of the song is to warn us about nostalgia.

2009 was such a nice year full of wonderful things to remember..

[EARTHdesu]

I was born in early 2008 and I remember this as the first song I heard 😉👍

God idk why this is so nostalgic and very comforting song? Like you in your bed at night while outside is raining and then you hear this song... like nostalgic kicks in and I just cant stop the tears

[ShadowsOfLight_]

And now he has a new album called cocomoon! It's amazing

[glm_is_here]

It just starts out so peaceful and it turns into something really good. I like it. Calms me like it

[UhGaflavin]

2009 was such a magical year, I was 14. Nothing but good memories, it makes me tear up just thinking about it.

[poypoy]

Adam actually made fireflies by himself

[thesaddestofemall]

This is one of the songs Adam struggled with insomnia while making
He would just stay awake for nights and stare outside
He ended writing this absolute *masterpiece*
May we all applaud when we hear this perfect song

[studio-hairandbeautysalo]

Adam Young is from another planet, far far away from planet earth❤

[OGGGGG]

I feel so old listening to this in 2024 I was in 5th grade when I first heard this song, and from then on I became an owl City fan, thanks Adam Young..

[weeb]

I can't ever hear this song the same again because the LeAvEEEEeeeEEeEe" thing stuck in my head💀
