 Infectious, Shoulder-Bopping Beat! July 28, 2009
Matthew (Boulder, Colorado)
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
Comparisons to THE POSTAL SERVICE are completely warranted. Not only is Owl City similar in style, but Adam Young even sounds a bit like Ben Gibbard (also of Death Cab for Cutie). This particular song has a wonderfully infectious beat and perfectly captures the Electropop vibe of The Postal Service.
I also sense Indie Pop/Alternative influences from the likes of Belle & Sebastian, The Shins, and Aberfeldy's "Summer's Gone". Such an entertaining, shoulder-bopping tune.
After listening twice, I sampled other Owl City tracks (this is indicative of the entire album) and ultimately downloaded this entire album.
If you enjoy Electro-Pop (eg, The Postal Service, Dntel, Temposhark), Alternative Indie Pop (like those listed above), or even the Downtempo electronic stylings of Zero 7, then you will likely enjoy this one-man 'musical project'.
One of Amazon's best freebies in awhile.

I was lucky enough to get this song when it was still free. If I hadn't, I would've gladly paid for the privilege of owning it(the same can't be said for most of the free offerings). Adam Young's youthful, earnest vocals sound a lot like the lead singer of Death Cab for Cutie, which is a good thing if you like DCC. The slick production and catchy tune guarantee that you will be humming "Fireflies" to yourself for the rest of the day after you hear it. The fresh, original lyrics make it stand out from the plethora of whinging love songs you hear on public radio. I could relate to it, because, like Young, I'm an insomniac. He shows that you don't have to be disappointed in love to have trouble sleeping. And you can use those sleepless nights for inspiration, as Young does. I may decide to listen to his other music and see if it measures up to this sample.
Quit whinning that it sounds like The Postal Service. That's a good thing. March 26, 2010

Yes this song (and the whole album) bears great resemblance to music by The Postal Service. If you like The Postal Service, then that's a good thing. Since The Postal Service only released one real album back in 2003, I'm glad that Owl City has filled that space that they left. Their whole album Ocean Eyes has a great sound to it; especially this one, Firefly.
BEST SONG EVER May 7, 2010

many people relate it to the jetter bug ball song from way back - I love them both!

Owl City's (Adam Young) music is so catchy and fun...it's hard NOT to love it! I highly recommend adding the entire Ocean Eyes album as well as Owl City's previous albums to your music collection!
