Fireflies - Owl City (Drum Cam Compilation)

Fireflies was such a special song to play with so many precious moments with the phones lighting up and MEGA nostalgia. Hope you enjoy this drum cam compilation from Cinematic Tour with Owl City!
I could NOT have done this without the help of ‪@jackthemurray‬ who helped synced all of the video to audio, Luke (Front of house/sound guy) who captured the audio every night for me, and to all the incredible people I met in these amazing places. THANK YOU.

[@andrewcolaw7072]

1. Your drumming is undoubtedly in the pocket. Mad props 2. The guitar tone is incredible. I wish that was in the studio recording. 3. I used to play live shows back in the summers of '15, '16, and '17. There's nothing quite like being on stage in front of people and losing yourself to the rhythm. I can't imagine how euphoric something on this scale must have been. Congratulations man!

Such kind words. Thanks Andrew🙏 It was certainly euphoric and an experience I’ll never forget

I hope this is a joke... Obviously there is autotune. But to be honest, it kind of goes with owl city's style so it's okay imo.

Tony Ferrari We’ve all put in countless unpaid hours developing our skills and positioned our lifestyles in a way that we can leave everything for 3 months. It’s a sacrifice in some ways that most musicians aren’t willing to make when it comes down to it. That being said, I do feel incredibly lucky to have had this opportunity. It was a dream I’ll never forget!

[@manafromheaven28]

Thanks for sharing your videos. I shivers my spine and I teared up knowing this song has really into me. It gave me calmness and serenity. Away from the world, and be free. This is the song I have in my 53mb mp3 player that I used to have, put my earplugs on and walked the entire miles of the city to home. I can't feel the tiredness in my feet nor the long train and bus travels, but I felt light and I was in like I was in a different world. The feeling of nostalgia brought my eyes crying. Simple song as it is yet it was so inspiring and giving a good vibes. I miss the good old days where everything is just simple yet full of joy and contentment. 😢🥺😭 Thanks for sharing this man. ❤️

Hope he was fun to work with!

[@GooseTheDrummer]

Too funny😂 Was a pleasure to work with. Excellence + integrity🙌

[@viii28productionschristian86]

Goose, I’m so so glad to hear that! Adam’s music comes to me at a time in my faith journey when I need fresh music (fresh as in over ten years old, hahaha) that incorporates his strong baseline of faith. I wrote a FB post on my wall last night stating that I’m glad he doesn’t categorize his music as Christian music because it’s just good music. But his lyrical content and even the musical compositions speak of a wholesomeness and hopeful perspective of life situations that may not necessarily be ideal. His humor and ability to pun and use words so imaginatively are so inspiring. Thank you for capturing this journey you had with Owl City! I’m so glad I found this!
