Owl City - Fireflies

Coming from someone who has been listening to Owl City for two years now, I would like to add that it's one person, Adam Young, not a band therefore when talking about him you should use him, not they.

Now that thats said, I did, and always will enjoy his music. Although since he got the record deal and is now overplayed on the radio I refuse to listen to that song (meaning fireflies) I continue to listen to every other song though. What really annoys me is someone who just found out about him and think they're the **** because they heard them on the radio. I've been listening for two years, before he was on the radio, before he had a record deal, back when he was making music for fun, and selling CD's off his myspace from his home.

why do people get so uppity about a band they like who were formally unknown getting radio play? im sure the dude WANTED to get popular, surely? no musician gets played on the radio then says "gosh darn it i wish i werent so popular!!!!" why cant you just be happy that a lot of people also like it too? as someone who listens to lots of music that few people have heard of, it infuriates me when people say "oh i liked it before it was popular now it sucks." if the radio played the fiery furnaces, animal collective and deerhoof, and everyone started liking them, i'd be overjoyed.

OK, well done, congratulations. I liked Black Stone Cherry before anybody had heard of them. I know it's irrelevant but that's my point lol.

Anyway I think the song is alright, at least I like it more than most other stuff of the genre. Although I think people only really like it (me included) for the guy's voice because it sounds sort of unique.

I use to love this song, but now everyone is over playing it, so it's getting boring

like i've said in previous threads, they're a totally awful rip-off of the postal service. the lead singer is a ******.

i hate with a passion people who say they found a band and now hate them because they're "mainstream" if you liked the ban you should be happy they've been discovered by the masses. i'm sure you're hardly there only fan. i listen to a lot of artists who aren't known and i'd love them to hit the big time and get radio air time.

I love that song :D Vanilla twilight is my favorite song by Owl City by a mile though :)

ya i'm an Owl City fan too!!! They are great. Did you hear that they have a new song coming out on the Almost Alice Soundtrack? its called the Technicolor Phase. Do you think its worth checking out? you can look at the other artists and songs on the cd as well at amazon http://bit.ly/AlmAlcOST there are also some details about it on the official movie page Disney.com/wonderland
