Fireflies -- Owl City

• Song: Fireflies
• Artist: Owl City
• Album: Ocean Eyes
• Rating: 5 Stars

Fireflies is the newest single from Owl City's 3rd CD, Ocean Eyes. This fun and poppy ballad is an excellent example of the brilliant work in Owl City's previous albums.

Fireflies is a beautifully imaginative song, filled with a childlike wonder virtually unseen in the music industry today. It is wll performed, overflowing with nonsensically sweet lyrics and transendental melodies.

As in many of his other songs, Adam Young's* voice resounds with a purity that seems to belong in the dremworld of his songs. Adam's best moments come during the slower parts of the song when he sings, "I'd like to make myself believe, that planet earth turns slowly." Having already reached nine on the Bilboard Hot 100**, it is clear that great things may be expected from this young electro-pop star.
