Fireflies - Owl City - Acoustic Guitar Cover

Fireflies - Owl City - Acoustic Guitar Cover
Thanks HyVibe for sponsering this video
I am playing the THV20 and it is available here:
www.hyvibeguitar.com/
I'm playing an acoustic version of Fireflies where I'm using the effects from the guitar and the looper, which is also a feature on the guitar, while mixing the music video up with a nice backing track
Also this an ultimate guitar to bring to a campfire I think:)
Thanks to Mateus Asato for the inspiration of this cover!
Feel free to comment on what you think:)

Lyrics:
You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
'Cause they fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude but I would just stand and stare
I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread (thread, thread)
I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)
Leave my door open just a crack
Please take me away from here
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
Please take me away from here
Why do I tire of counting sheep?
Please take me away from here
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
To ten million fireflies
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell (they said farewell)
But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar (jar, jar, jar)
I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)
I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)

Yayyy another guitarist that transposes lyrics into their playing. I love doing this and is actually a way i overcame struggles with playing separate notes at odd timings. Bravo sir amazing job 🙏

[@Major-Fsharp]

Man he's got some mad skills. I had to watch it twice.

[@randomizer4994]

Wt heck! From intro of the song until the end, it made me Goosebumps. You nailed it far from good it was the best.

Ah, I forgot how much I loved this song. And to hear it come out of ONE guitar. Wow. Subbed.

[@justinlemieux5189]

Dude, I have been playing for like 8 years and I have to say this was the first video of yours I have seen and WOW, you are incredible, I loved that performance man, you played it so well, I loved all the liberties you took with it. Great playing.

[@jaxtrade5715]

Just wanted to say, most songs or covers feel like they are just playing the songs. You’ve accomplished in making me “feel” your cover. I really enjoyed what you made here and really loved the couple play through a I had on here.

[@biotechgaming3422]

This is insane! You’re extremely talented 🔥🔥🔥
