FIREFLIES by Owl City - Guitar Melody Cover by Adam Howe

Melody Mondays - Week #8 - FIREFLIES by Owl City
Guitar Melody Cover by Adam Howe
For this one I was planning to film it at night, and at the end of the video I was gonna look around like I was in awe, and in post I planned to add in some glowing fireflies to make it look like I was seeing them live in the room. I think we can all agree that the world is a better place because that cheesy idea didn't happen haha.
The lyrics to this song remind me of being a kid and chasing around all the fireflies at dusk at my grandparents house on the lake in South Carolina. We don't get fireflies in Los Angeles, where I am from, so it always felt extra magical to get to see them.
Thank you for listening! See you next week...

Ok, this one I’m upset by

[@adamhowemusic]

I knew someone would end up upset because I didn't edit in any fireflies at the end of the video. Hmmph. 🤷‍♂️
