As someone with Adhd, this song is really stimulating. It's like I can feel every drop and hear every note vividly. It makes me heart flutter because of how beautiful it sounds and it's uncomfortable but in the best of ways.

The meaning is deep... Real deep. Think about the chances you missed in your life because of the fear of failure. You just wait for ever problem to solve itself in time, while the Earth is still turning, while your time is passing away slowly... You just imagine everything is okay. You just dream and you don't want to wake up. You suffer more and more while you still think that everything will become okay and you will be happy at last. But soon, you find out that it's not true. The only thing that can make you happy is *your* actions, not time. You become afraid of risk, losses, failure... And that fear makes you miss the chances you get in life. You just dream because you are afraid of being awake. Because you know dreaming the top clears the clouds in the way... EDIT: It must have helped a lot of people, I think. Thanks for all the likes.

Z This song brings back so many amazing childhood memories. I remember when this was the only song I'd listen to for the longest time. It also helped me get over the fear I had of the outdoors.
I’ve had this track saved in a playlist for about 4 years now. I still come back and listen, when my room is dark and I’m lying in bed. This song plays over the wonderful memories I’ve made with people I love. And sometimes I don’t even think and just let the melody paint pictures in my mind. It builds so well upon the original song that it just becomes a composition of its own. I’ve listened so many times and I’ll most likely be back soon. This song just makes me so happy.
Rafael Dracofuchs If you've never heard of Said The Sky then go to his soundclud as soon as you possibly can (or check out the playlist I made for him)! One of my favorite producers right now ^^
This song always brought me memories when I was in High School. Before I graduated High School, I use to hug everyone there. Whenever it was a hello or just hanging out. I would always hug people because I was glad they were at the school. I was a really happy person and still am. After I graduated High School, everyone went their separate ways. Now I don't mind that they went their separate ways, I'm just glad they gave me great memories of High School. This song, reminds me of them. The "fireflies" are my friends and we are said "farewell" to eachother. They all thought me a lot of stuff and I won't forget that. I still miss my high school days, but I must move on. We all must move on.
i am glad you had a good high school experience. i personally did not have a good high school experience but that was due to some issues i had unrelated to school that just happened to occur during my high years, but like you said we all must move on.
It gives me such magical memories, there's something about middle school, and how everything is a little bit magical still, everything is a discovery, i miss my friends, i miss those times, as we grow up this just fade slowly :/ aaaahhh how i miss these days
This song, the memories... Chasing my brothers, laughing and firing bottle rockets at each other while dodging and hiding behind large round hay bales on our 80 acre pasture, as the rockets whizzed by our heads, all while the fireflies illuminated the summertime evening sky. Running out of rockets, and falling on my back, just staring at the sky while my brothers chased each other back to the farmhouse... marveling at all the fireflies, so many of them, so quiet, creating a fireworks show just for me, something that my brothers and I could never perform with our finite bottle-rocket stash. All the fireflies, monochromatic yet splendiferous, all dancing before a backdrop of the Milky Way galaxy, while a symphony of crickets and katydids beautifully accompanied the wonderful light show, with a nearby whippoorwill trying to steal the show... Memories, wonderfully etched into my 14-year-old mind. Simply epic. Now I'm almost 50 and live in the city, but I still hold onto my childhood memories. I'm not sure what memories this song brings to you, but if it doesn't move you at all then you may not have yet truly experienced life. Life's too short. Unplug, go outside, and make some memories.
I wish I got to have fun like you did (I'm still 16 tho so I still have time) But my parents never want me to do anything where I can get hurt. (I cant even use the jigsaw without them having to watch me and pray that nothing happens) And I'm sick of it :( Like, would you like to live your life bored doing nothing (at lest you've never gotten hurt). Or would you like to live an amazing life trying new things, taking risks, and doing dangers things (and possible getting severely injured). I would much rather do the second option.
This song gives me this feeling, I don’t know exactly what it is, it’s: beauty, nostalgia, weirdly like nostalgia but towards the future instead of the past, memories, gratitude, excitement, enjoyment, joy, emotion, and it makes me dream. It gives me this feeling to reach for the stars
+Arctic Empire OMG YOU ANSWERED BACK I LOVE YOU GUYS YOU HAVE THE BEST MUSIC EVER maybe one day I'll start another channel and post dubstep on it just like you guys keep up the good job guys:D
*cough* army *cough* I'll let myself out But yesss owl city always impresses me ^^ he used to be my favorite artist and this brings back such good memories
Owl City was amazing back then yea all time fav for me but now they make house or songs that cater towards kids.....kinda ashamed because it contradicts to the name OWL city Owls appear during the night and during the night its quiet and calm just like their songs >_< well i guess they should change their name to Rooster City since their songs arent chill anymore..
I sat in tears just now listening to this. My Dad always used to say that he liked this song when it came on the radio. He passed away in 2020 and oh how I miss him. This song brought back some memories with him just now. I miss you Dad. 💚
This song has a special place in my heart, and this remix really captures all those happy moments in life. I'm gonna leave for the US in about 8-9 months, and when i get all nostalgic I'm gonna listen to this song as I start a new chapter of my life
Super S+ tier remix. I remember back in 09 the day MJ died, Owl City had a concert in Baltimore that my sister and I attended and after his set, he debuted Fireflies for everyone there. Truly a magical experience and I’ll never forget it.
There are so many elements in this track, from where the reverb, bass, and panning mix perfectly and so spectacularly that I cannot get enough of the sound.
This works wonderfully with the original, it's like a higher quality more energy version of the original. I like that. The cleanness and purity and feeling of the original is still there, it still feels surreal. That's a good remix right there.
I come here at least once a month to listen to this gem. This song makes me feel free from every burden and makes me nearly cry everytime when i hear it.
This song, the memories... Chasing my son up a mountain bike path, and hoping it will Never End. He won't be this age forever, and I Know it. Following him up the trail, and taking Every twist and turn, encouraging him when the chat was loose and Taunting him when he left me, until he relents and lets me take the lead. I ain't just yer Old Man, ya sucka! I couldn't help but Smile, because this was Farther than he'd ever gone while taking the lead. Oh God I Love my kid, my beloved son. I took the lead until we hit the top of the ridge, then we rode along a flat path that was nothing. Nothing? A beautiful sky, the fall colors, a flat dirt path, nothing? ...no. Because, it was just my son and me. He knew it, just as I did. It was our quiet embrace. Plus, all of the trees and insects and birds and everything else that created our tapestry of beauty. Ours Was Beauty, Beyond Anything Else. Until... yep, you guessed it. For every Up, there must come a Down. Bottoms Up, ya stinkin' Sucka!!! I absolutely Ripped Down the trail, and my son followed suit with No Abandon. Through the loose chat, through the steep trails, through the steep turns and narrow embankments, we absolutely Ripped Down that trail. I remember hitting the bottom of the trail, and I didn't even have to look back, because I Knew that my son was already there. My beloved son... He ain't no Sucka. No Way! Why are you still reading this? Life's too short. Your kid Won't be with you Forever. Cherish the moment.
This is such a great song from my childhood, an amazing remix and it just makes me feel so warm inside; perfect for winter. This is just what I needed to make this week brighter, amazing. I wish everyone could hear this, it would make them so much happier.

I feel a strange feeling every time I listen to this music. It is not a bad feeling, it just feels like a pat on the back, my mind get a bit more clear and all of my bad thoughts disappears and I'm feeling a bit more relaxed. I listen to it whenever I need to sleep, do some stressful things or resting. Music does help the soul when we think about it.
@@rabbitwonyo9270 with the world we live in, I wouldn't be surprised to know that more and more people need a music like this one to feel feelings of happiness and relaxation, or at least something to clear our mind of the bullshit of the world we created.
God I wish we could go back in time. Back when music was good, nobody was getting angry at anyone, everyone got along, no one had to worry about anything, and everything was good. Life was good in 2009. Please come back. 😔😔😔
Not to be that person but this right here actually snapped me out of depression. I've been having a rough couple days with family and friend deaths, crappy weather, and college finals. I had kind of forgotten what it's like to look at the world with the eyes of a child. A world full of possibilities, peacefulness, and adventure. So thank you. 😌🌳
I like the name of the remixer. "Said the Sky" sounds so good matched with "Owl City". ... It takes me to new heights! ... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . PUNS GALORE! I REGRET NOTHING.
Thank you for bringing the most remarkable song of my life, back to "life". Listened to it in the radio when I was younger and no one knew the name. Almost 10 years after, still humming it, I found it by accident. This remix is everything now, you could amplify the essence of the song and I am forever grateful, this song has been part of my life throughout and now even more. I could hardly breath proper, tears filling my eyes, my heart and my body following the beats as if I was part of it! Thank you again, you did an amazing job, I never thought it could be any better but there it goes... You made it! Cheers from Brazil
Just imagine ur alone in the terrace lying in bed facing towards the night sky full of stars.....chill breeze passing by .... plugged in with earphones and ur listening to this song..... having memories rolling back in ur mind.....omg it's pure nostalgic 💯😭
Out of the many remixes this song's gotten, including a remix by Owl City, THIS is hands down the best version. The intro leaves me almost in tears....
I will never not like this song :D I was like 15 when the original one came out and I can remember it like yesterday. Such a phase in my life back then.
I found your channel yesterday and it was at 130,000. Its already grown 1000+ in a day. Thats crazy man! Love the music you post, great job! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
I never go anywhere other than here for music because it constantly calls me back everyday I would have to say nothing is more beautiful sounding than the music posted on your channel Arctic.
You would not believe your toes, If ten million small legos Covered the floor as you try to walk, Cause the Sharp corners everywhere Make you jump up into the air, I'd rather be anywhere, But there
Until you realise that you're essentially in a billion-person long queue of people waiting to become slaves to their bourgeois masters for essentially the entire time they're not reduced in mobility. What a waste of one's life.
This song brings back memories of a perfect childhood. When your childrens soul saw the world as beautifull place without any negative aspects. This songs is the key for the memories of the past and a source of hope for the future❤
Almost 30 million views?!! That's insane :O
Yeahhhh🙀🙀
i would say it deserved more but im happy because this is not mainstream, the views are all coming from the people who truly enjoy this masterpiece
It's amazing! :D

I’ve had this track saved in a playlist for about 4 years now. I still come back and listen, when my room is dark and I’m lying in bed. This song plays over the wonderful memories I’ve made with people I love. And sometimes I don’t even think and just let the melody paint pictures in my mind. It builds so well upon the original song that it just becomes a composition of its own. I’ve listened so many times and I’ll most likely be back soon. This song just makes me so happy.
Same (i mean 100% same. Everything what you said happens to me every afternoon)
So... no one's going to talk about how f*cking beautiful the background is?
Yes? Of course you will.
i most of the time wish i could loose myself in most of these types of wbackrounds
ya...it just feels so serene
Absolutely--surprised there aren't more comments about it
best background ever too gorgeous i just wish humanity could really experience something that breath-taking
Takes you to another place
Middle/High school nostalgia flooding back in 3,2,1....
Elementary school for me, but yeah :)
3.....2.....1....0:00
Yeah... I don't know what to say anymore. This dude continues to impress me with every release.

Never heard this guy before and I didn't like the original of this song. I like this one though...
Rafael Dracofuchs If you've never heard of Said The Sky then go to his soundclud as soon as you possibly can (or check out the playlist I made for him)! One of my favorite producers right now ^^
+Arctic Empire I LOVE THIS SONG I LISTEN TO YOU EVERYDAY KEEP IT UP ;)
I loved the original, but this remix lights up like a firefly amongst all remixes.
This song always brought me memories when I was in High School.
Before I graduated High School, I use to hug everyone there. Whenever it was a hello or just hanging out. I would always hug people because I was glad they were at the school. I was a really happy person and still am.
After I graduated High School, everyone went their separate ways. Now I don't mind that they went their separate ways, I'm just glad they gave me great memories of High School.
This song, reminds me of them. The "fireflies" are my friends and we are said "farewell" to eachother. They all thought me a lot of stuff and I won't forget that.
I still miss my high school days, but I must move on. We all must move on.
i am glad you had a good high school experience. i personally did not have a good high school experience but that was due to some issues i had unrelated to school that just happened to occur during my high years, but like you said we all must move on.
Me too (;_;)
Yeah 😊❤🍭🧁🥰🍦🙃🍭❤🍦🥰🥰❤
My freshman and sophomore years were great, but covid 19 ruined my junior year. I'm really hoping everything returns to normal for my senior year.
It gives me such magical memories, there's something about middle school, and how everything is a little bit magical still, everything is a discovery, i miss my friends, i miss those times, as we grow up this just fade slowly :/ aaaahhh how i miss these days
This song, the memories...
Chasing my brothers, laughing and firing bottle rockets at each other while dodging and hiding behind large round hay bales on our 80 acre pasture, as the rockets whizzed by our heads, all while the fireflies illuminated the summertime evening sky. Running out of rockets, and falling on my back, just staring at the sky while my brothers chased each other back to the farmhouse... marveling at all the fireflies, so many of them, so quiet, creating a fireworks show just for me, something that my brothers and I could never perform with our finite bottle-rocket stash. All the fireflies, monochromatic yet splendiferous, all dancing before a backdrop of the Milky Way galaxy, while a symphony of crickets and katydids beautifully accompanied the wonderful light show, with a nearby whippoorwill trying to steal the show... Memories, wonderfully etched into my 14-year-old mind. Simply epic.
Now I'm almost 50 and live in the city, but I still hold onto my childhood memories. I'm not sure what memories this song brings to you, but if it doesn't move you at all then you may not have yet truly experienced life.
Life's too short. Unplug, go outside, and make some memories.
I wish I got to have fun like you did (I'm still 16 tho so I still have time) But my parents never want me to do anything where I can get hurt. (I cant even use the jigsaw without them having to watch me and pray that nothing happens) And I'm sick of it :( Like, would you like to live your life bored doing nothing (at lest you've never gotten hurt). Or would you like to live an amazing life trying new things, taking risks, and doing dangers things (and possible getting severely injured). I would much rather do the second option.
So bad that u didn't hit K
That comment made me emotional
Im 16 and i feel so empty...i feel so lonely
@@zedorfedzone3525 know theres someone out there
Crazy how one song can take you back to a certain time of your life, amazing
2024 here, its almost 2025 now
I've never clicked on something so fast in my life, I did SO MUCH all nighters in college to this song
*Many.
I like your name
You can tell they weren't productive! XD
Just kidding, not calling you out on anything, anyway, thanks for commenting and hope you have an awesome day! :)

This is still one of my favourite remixes many years after it was released.
This song gives me this feeling, I don’t know exactly what it is, it’s: beauty, nostalgia, weirdly like nostalgia but towards the future instead of the past, memories, gratitude, excitement, enjoyment, joy, emotion, and it makes me dream. It gives me this feeling to reach for the stars
Harris maybe start with what it doesn’t make you feel
Reach for the stars.
Determination comes to mind
We feel the same .
I agree very beautiful remix 💜
I remember when AE just started, look at them now I'm so proud.
+DX88 G4MER :3
+Arctic Empire OMG YOU ANSWERED BACK I LOVE YOU GUYS YOU HAVE THE BEST MUSIC EVER maybe one day I'll start another channel and post dubstep on it just like you guys keep up the good job guys:D
YES FREE HUGZ MAKE 1 HOUR DUBSTEP
Needed this song so much right now. Owl City always calms me down he's amazing
I agree :P
Audrey G ikrrrrrrrr ♡♡♡♡♡♡
*cough* army *cough* I'll let myself out
But yesss owl city always impresses me ^^ he used to be my favorite artist and this brings back such good memories
*cough* Adam Young *cough* *Cough*
Owl City was amazing back then yea all time fav for me but now they make house or songs that cater towards kids.....kinda ashamed because it contradicts to the name OWL city Owls appear during the night and during the night its quiet and calm just like their songs >_< well i guess they should change their name to Rooster City since their songs arent chill anymore..
I sat in tears just now listening to this. My Dad always used to say that he liked this song when it came on the radio. He passed away in 2020 and oh how I miss him. This song brought back some memories with him just now. I miss you Dad. 💚
this is so easy to fall asleep to , its much better than those music for falling asleep to
haha i play this aswell if i cant sleep
If you want some good sleeping music, check out Twinkle Twinkle Little Rockstar. Im sure you wont be disappointed.
Sherda Robinson This is what I want heaven to be :}
U e the girl with golden heart 🔱
Owl city always had a breathless, airy quality. You just magnified it x100 and made my favorite song x100 better! Amazing!
Jing Li I 100% AGREE Make that 200%
I definitely agree!
Yes, yes they fucking did
Now *THIS* is what a remix should sound like!

Who’s still here still listening to this awesome remix in 2023? I am.
thank you for making this remix arctic empire, I love it.
I love this tune! 🙏

This song is one of my favorites and this remix is AWESOME 😊
They reinvented it
YOU ARE EVERYWHERE! FROM ALAN WALKER COMMENTS TO THIS VIDEO 😂😂😂
hey illumi i like ur music :D
Never thought an EDM song would make me teary eyed
You gotta check more EDM out, friend. It's the only genre that consistently makes me teary.
EDM ain't a genre just so you know, it's a collection of genres.
@@breezyna5566 Oh, yes, thanks. You're correct. It's an umbrella term.
No problem :)
I think you've been listening to the wrong ones this whole time lol.
Let’s just appreciate that this mad lad still hearts comment after 5 years
This song has a special place in my heart, and this remix really captures all those happy moments in life.
I'm gonna leave for the US in about 8-9 months, and when i get all nostalgic I'm gonna listen to this song as I start a new chapter of my life
It is indescribable how deep and hard nostalgia hurts. At least no one is alone with that bitter sweet feeling
Almost 3 years and...
WHY IS IT NOT ON SPOTIFY YET?
i am well aware this comment is 2 years old, but look up spotify local files dude, that may help your obvious debacle out quite a bit.
Super S+ tier remix. I remember back in 09 the day MJ died, Owl City had a concert in Baltimore that my sister and I attended and after his set, he debuted Fireflies for everyone there. Truly a magical experience and I’ll never forget it.
Did u record any vids of the concert
There are so many elements in this track, from where the reverb, bass, and panning mix perfectly and so spectacularly that I cannot get enough of the sound.
This works wonderfully with the original, it's like a higher quality more energy version of the original. I like that. The cleanness and purity and feeling of the original is still there, it still feels surreal.
That's a good remix right there.
Liam McGowan exactly
Better than original
Yeah, it adds so much more emotion to the song!
Lim Lam thank you for finding the words I couldn't to describe this beautiful remix of one of my all time favourites
Agreed! But it's cleanliness* not cleanness xP
I come here at least once a month to listen to this gem. This song makes me feel free from every burden and makes me nearly cry everytime when i hear it.
"Because my dreams are bursting at the seems"
Seams
lol :D
This remix is pure beauty in music form. So nostalgic.
2000000001!
Didn't know that I needed this in my life until now
I got goosebumps after hearing this remix.
How could you not?? like really

This song, the memories...
Chasing my son up a mountain bike path, and hoping it will Never End. He won't be this age forever, and I Know it. Following him up the trail, and taking Every twist and turn, encouraging him when the chat was loose and Taunting him when he left me, until he relents and lets me take the lead. I ain't just yer Old Man, ya sucka! I couldn't help but Smile, because this was Farther than he'd ever gone while taking the lead. Oh God I Love my kid, my beloved son. I took the lead until we hit the top of the ridge, then we rode along a flat path that was nothing. Nothing? A beautiful sky, the fall colors, a flat dirt path, nothing? ...no. Because, it was just my son and me. He knew it, just as I did. It was our quiet embrace. Plus, all of the trees and insects and birds and everything else that created our tapestry of beauty. Ours Was Beauty, Beyond Anything Else.
Until... yep, you guessed it. For every Up, there must come a Down. Bottoms Up, ya stinkin' Sucka!!! I absolutely Ripped Down the trail, and my son followed suit with No Abandon. Through the loose chat, through the steep trails, through the steep turns and narrow embankments, we absolutely Ripped Down that trail. I remember hitting the bottom of the trail, and I didn't even have to look back, because I Knew that my son was already there. My beloved son... He ain't no Sucka.
No Way! Why are you still reading this? Life's too short.
Your kid Won't be with you Forever. Cherish the moment.
This is such a great song from my childhood, an amazing remix and it just makes me feel so warm inside; perfect for winter.
This is just what I needed to make this week brighter, amazing.
I wish everyone could hear this, it would make them so much happier.
You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
'Cause they'd fill the open air
And leave tear drops 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
The 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
(Ha-ha)
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
(Jar, jar, jar...)
[2x]
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 my dreams are bursting at the seams
Damn, okay. Thank-- you...
Maor Malik thanks
thankz 4 the lyrics...i've been looking for lyrics in comments, sometimes none..your lyrics are perfect..thank you so much!!!!!
thnx 4 d lyrics bro it's really useful👍👍
I feel a strange feeling every time I listen to this music. It is not a bad feeling, it just feels like a pat on the back, my mind get a bit more clear and all of my bad thoughts disappears and I'm feeling a bit more relaxed. I listen to it whenever I need to sleep, do some stressful things or resting. Music does help the soul when we think about it.
Dude, same, everytime things started to get hard in my life. I've always find myself going back to this.
@@rabbitwonyo9270 with the world we live in, I wouldn't be surprised to know that more and more people need a music like this one to feel feelings of happiness and relaxation, or at least something to clear our mind of the bullshit of the world we created.
this is a very good neurodivergent song! It can give you all kind of good feelings because of the serotonine
Yes it’s just nice
I called mindcleaning. It's very hard to explain, but if this feeling is truly reletable, you'll understand.
Still evokes heavy nostalgia in November 2024.. time passes by so quickly
PS: future me, I believe in you sm.. keep going.. make me and lil you proud
I saw Chill In the title and I was like, "yesss" and then I saw Said the Sky and I was like, "OMGSJAVEISHS YAAAASSSSSSS"
Ohyes! Never been so excited!

I saw chill and was like"yeeeeee" then I saw Owl city and i said "OMIGOD YASSSS" then I saw "said the sky" and died. In peace. (';
+Lililana “Rosalina” Bright haha my thoughts exactly!
Was just about to type in this comment until I scrolled down...xDDD
Not just a piece of music but a piece of heaven
this song was alr😇😎before but now it is even better
i'd say, a heap of nostalgia. and at the time this remix was released, this has the best ending of all time.
God I wish we could go back in time. Back when music was good, nobody was getting angry at anyone, everyone got along, no one had to worry about anything, and everything was good. Life was good in 2009. Please come back. 😔😔😔
i was 13 playing pokemon and not worrying about the future. good times
I feel that dude. I miss those times too
Honestly, this is going to be my alarm and bed time song.
How do you make it your alarm?
Not to be that person but this right here actually snapped me out of depression.
I've been having a rough couple days with family and friend deaths, crappy weather, and college finals. I had kind of forgotten what it's like to look at the world with the eyes of a child. A world full of possibilities, peacefulness, and adventure.
So thank you. 😌🌳
Awww bro sorry for your loss :(
Same
So how are you know ? Hope you are doing fine. Keep on fighting bro
I hope you are doing better now.
Damnnnn 0:00-0:25 brings back memories T.T,so sad.Everytime when i listen to Owl City songs,i feel happy and sad at the same time,Such great music!

I like the name of the remixer. "Said the Sky" sounds so good matched with "Owl City".

Mostly you cant. Multiplayer that is.
Thank you for bringing the most remarkable song of my life, back to "life". Listened to it in the radio when I was younger and no one knew the name. Almost 10 years after, still humming it, I found it by accident. This remix is everything now, you could amplify the essence of the song and I am forever grateful, this song has been part of my life throughout and now even more. I could hardly breath proper, tears filling my eyes, my heart and my body following the beats as if I was part of it! Thank you again, you did an amazing job, I never thought it could be any better but there it goes... You made it! Cheers from Brazil
One of the most beautiful remixes I have heard for a LONG time, it gives me chills, but I guess it would since I'm in the Arctic! heh
The intro brought me to tears...my childhood💖
BreezyJackie me too it's been 9 years since I heard this on my 8th bday... man have the days passed
conner klass i want them to go slower and every day in school i want to get out but always spend your time good so you can enjoy what you have there
Just imagine ur alone in the terrace lying in bed facing towards the night sky full of stars.....chill breeze passing by .... plugged in with earphones and ur listening to this song..... having memories rolling back in ur mind.....omg it's pure nostalgic 💯😭
Bruh. In like 12 years of listening to this song I've never heard the little giggle after "far too tired to fall asleep" until just now.
"It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'cause everything is never as it seems"
My favourite lines in this song😃

Out of the many remixes this song's gotten, including a remix by Owl City,
THIS is hands down the best version.

That's good to know, but sometimes this music just gives me the love.
thats good but if you have issued please go see a proffessional
hope your happy now ((:
The piano bit at the very beginning made me feel so nostalgic for Owl City's songs. This song is so sentimental to me, it was my literal childhood.

haha saaaaaameeee man !
This song helped me yesterday, the last day of school wasn't as fun as I wanted. Thank you.
