I say this with as much admiration and appreciation as I can muster: this song makes me feel like I'm having a brain aneurysm.

[@jameson7276]

Welcome to Neil's Mouth albums my friend.

[@chemicalfuzzy]

that first chorus hit is NASTY. manages to go almost harder than in the original Closer. idk how he did it

[@SnibsnBibs]

It's so goofy but it's just so fucking slick, I hate him.

[@gnashing_teeth]

This genuinely improved Fireflies and I unironically listen to this version

[@waytoobiased]

eh, the original is pretty darn good

[@error_1578]

I think it's less of an improvement and more of a movement towards a different genre that fits more with one's taste. Either way, I adore both.

we all need to appreciate the comic genius of the lightning bug's tap dancing lesson

[@PissJello]

My favorite part is that you can faintly hear sound effects from previous mashup songs.

[@PissJello]

Additionally, I just realized that at 3:29 he says "Because *mouth* dreams are bursting out the seams."

[@doubleking7070]

This sounds like a theme for a fly-themed villain.

the love rollercoaster crowd vocals are everything

[@beewoman]

I showed this entire album to a friend I've been rather close with lately. This song was the beginning of the end, Pee Wee Inc. only made it worse. "Better than edibles."

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 (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 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 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 Because mouth dreams are bursting at the seams

Actually better than fireflies. That song is so lame and dated. To be fair I have always hated Owl City.

[@gnashing_teeth]

YES THANK YOU EXACTLY its like this is how it SHOULD have sounded

[@angterrastriker]

​@gnashing_teeth I mean yeah if you don't like Owl City.

[@SevenRedSunsOfficial]

is it just because some of owl's music was overplayed as shit? some of his new stuff is fun like strawberry avalanche.

[@kiernanhowell-mackinley1733]

Bias. Meanwhile I love Owl City, and don't think of this as an upgrade so much as just a side thing

[@jacobchandler7642]

@@kiernanhowell-mackinley1733 Same. I was kinda grooving from 0:42 thru 1:04, but the rest was like eating a mozzarella stick dunked in chocolate sauce. Two perfectly fine individual parts that ought to be kept separate. Might've worked if Neil added more dampening effects to Adam's voice or a deep synth pad playing Fireflies' chords to blend the vocals better with the gothic industrial percussion.
