As someone who absolutely _adores_ the original song, I don't think I ever expected to hear a cover I loved as much as it. Yet here I am. God damn it, it's just as whimsical as the original, just a different flavour.
I'm 16 years old, and you guys have opened my eyes to jazz. I watch videos from 9 years ago, and when I saw a new one posted today, it made me smile. Thank you for doing this magnificent work. I love you guys.
Can you believe it's been 15 years since the original came out?? Everything is never as it seems, indeed... You can stream / download our version with Sara Niemietz here: www.pmjlive.com/fireflies
Is PMJ on Deezer? I follow haylee Reinhardt on it but the PMJ channels I'm not convinced are legit. I desperately want to enjoy your music on the app (the only app I have on my phone which does music other than TH-cam.) thanks PMJ!
The only thing I love more than seeing that a new PMJ just dropped is seeing that a new PMJ cover of a late 2000s song just dropped. And Sara Niemietz on lead vocals is just icing on the cake
Everything about this is absolutely fabulous. Her voice, the dress, the musicians- so refreshing to see live recordings like they did a hundred years ago.
The divine Miss Sara! I've watched this one so many times. Her very best, I think. She just radiates such joy that I find myself smiling all the way through. ❤
There are not enough worlds in the human language to express how wonderful this music video truly is. All I can say that it FANTABULOUS!!!! Bless you all and thank you!!!
Rarely do I see a cover where I still prefer the original over it, but if I had heard the cover first, I'd prefer it over the original. The only difference between the quality is simply familiarity, and that is such an incredible thing! Truly amazing, and listening to this just puts a wide smile on my face!
Why have I been wasting my time standing in the backyard with a mayonnaise jar?? The BEST Fireflies are right here, courtesy of PMJ and Sara "Sparkle" Niemietz, a true force of nature!! 👍🥰
This is how I hear every popular song. I shared this with my 21 year old Daughter. I told her, "This is how Daddy sings every song ruining it with every lyric". But I do love this rendition. She is killing it. Go girl.
This is such an incredible cover!! I’m so glad you guys are still posting!! I love the original so much, having grown up with it, and this was just such a nice surprise. ❤❤❤ Keep up the good work, everyone!
I always watch when Sara sings. She was one of the first singers with PMJ that I saw. She's a real talent. I think "Don't Stop Believing" was the first video I saw her in. Just outstanding!
The original was the VERY FIRST SONG IVE EVER HEARD. I am not kidding, and I love old songs in the style like this, and this just makes me wanna cry, I LOVE THIS!!!
There was nobody else better for fronting this production - fact! Sara was so suited to this! And I don't normally notice dresses but...THAT DRESS! 🔥 A @Miss Sunny Holiday special maybe? 😍
Oh, this is just so nice. It gives me vibes of a rainy night spent in a New York City nightclub in the late 1950s with a hard drink for company. Simply blissful, and top notch!
I absolutely Adore this rendition! Sara is so Beautiful and that Dress is fantastic and as a Trumpet player myself, that dude is SMOOTH!!! LOVE IT ALL! PMJ has the BEST recordings, how you make the sound stage amazingly wide and every instrument has its own space, is INCREDIBLE✨️
As always Scott Bradley's Postman Jukebox never fails to amaze me with their amazing renditions. This one makes me LSS the song over and over again.. Can't help myself not to sing along and sing the new rendition. 😍🎶🎶🎶
one day you guys will become popular and im here for it. the band in the background is so beautiful to see... gives me hope for my future!!! you guys are a role model for me. i love jazz so much...
There is definitely something infectious about this song. Sara looks as happy singing this version as I do bopping to the original in the car. Owl City is definitely a vibe. Love this!
It's such a delight to see Sara with PMJ again, I've discovered her through you and then went on to follow her and her weekly wacky wednesdays. Her voice is outstanding, beautiful rendition.
I haven't thought about this song in so long but wow the wave of nostalgia hitting me Also Sara always sings like she's having the absolute time of her life and I love it
Ngl, I forgot this was on my list. So when it started, I started getting Bewitched vibes! Now I can only imagine a Bewitched style sitcom with this as the intro. Needless to say, I love it!
My goodness, I loved every aspect of this video! The bouncy music, the gorgeous vocals, the dress, her little dances while she sings, I was captivated from start to finish. I immediately went looking for the cover on spotify and I'm so glad it's there. Sticking this cover right into my obsessions playlist, along with my liked songs. It reminds me of everything I love about Jazz and Bosa Nova, and it's nice seeing people have fun creating something they're proud of.
Always a pleasure. This was genuinely a fun edition of this song. Oh Sara, you are, as always, just a ball of fun and joy. How I love that beautiful voice of yours!
Lovely cover by PMJ and Sara! She always looks so happy and bringing that joy to PMJ and this song is a treat! I hope we get to see more collaborations between them soon, but I'm thankful for what we have!
This is just awesome. Big band swing still really hits in 2024. Sara’s vocals and all of the members of PMJs musicianship. Class. I’ve always enjoyed big band/swing versions of songs. Thanks for the uplift 👌
The original was one of the first albums I ever owned on CD, and also one of my first "favorite" albums. This rendition took me RIGHT back to that point in my life. Beautiful work, my high school self is dancing with fireflies to this one.
Hi there! Sara here. Loved being a part of this with my friends!!!!! Thanks for watching.
What a voice ❤
Great rendition, you nailed it! 👍
More collabs please. Love your voice from Indonesia
Lovely as always Sara! Sounds great! And shout out to Sunny for that firefly dress!
Fantastic 🎉🎶🎵🎶🎵🍀,,all the best, alles Gute 🍀☀️🍁
the dress is to die for. it’s giving princess tiana
Thanks! I love performing in it!
Aw from Princess & the Frog? It does! So pretty
I was thinking this! If they make a live action it should be this dress
@@yasschick7937agreed!!
I was thinking the same thing! Perfect for the theme of "Fireflies" ✨
Love the fairylights in the dress! ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Love them, too!!!
Wow! One of my favorite songs, and a beautiful retro remake with Sara. Love it all! 😍
@@RVelectricitythank you!!
🤩
Little fireflies!
This Owl City Cover is the exact cover that I never knew I needed.
Please tell me the Princess and the Frog reference was on purpose!
I’ve been a huge fan of this song. So thrilled to perform it!
Same, so glad it popped up on my recs.
As someone who absolutely _adores_ the original song, I don't think I ever expected to hear a cover I loved as much as it.
Yet here I am.
God damn it, it's just as whimsical as the original, just a different flavour.

I love you guys.
Great to hear! Thrilled u love jazz!
we love you, too! we're glad you are here :)
I remember being in those same shoes, and I've never stopped listening.
This band is wonderful.
@@carpetbeetle8349thanks so much!
you should listen to amy winehouse and Ella Fitzgerald or duffy.
also jazz.
Can you believe it's been 15 years since the original came out?? Everything is never as it seems, indeed...
You can stream / download our version with Sara Niemietz here: www.pmjlive.com/fireflies
Loved this song for 15 years!!!!! Soooo happy we performed our version!! Thank you!
wait.....what....no it couldnt have been 15 years surely not.....
Is PMJ on Deezer? I follow haylee Reinhardt on it but the PMJ channels I'm not convinced are legit. I desperately want to enjoy your music on the app (the only app I have on my phone which does music other than TH-cam.) thanks PMJ!
@@shadowthief19crazy, huh?
@@postmodernjukebox It’s hard to believe it’s been 15 years since the original song was released. And now we finally have a jazz version of it.
Hard to go wrong with a good Bossa Nova, especially paired with such a wholesome song
So fun to perform! Thanks!
i adored this!
The only thing I love more than seeing that a new PMJ just dropped is seeing that a new PMJ cover of a late 2000s song just dropped. And Sara Niemietz on lead vocals is just icing on the cake
Sweeeet to hear your kind words. Thank you!
The song just works so well. It feels like sitting inside on a cold night and watching lights go by after a long day.
Wow… thrilled you listened and let us know.
Everything about this is absolutely fabulous. Her voice, the dress, the musicians- so refreshing to see live recordings like they did a hundred years ago.
Thanks for visiting.. and your kindest words.
Sounds like you are an Old Soul like us ❤️
PMJ? It's going to be great.
PMJ with Sara? It's going to be FANTASTIC!
Thanks to all of you for brightening our days.
This was soooooo much fun on soooooo many levels! Thanks for listening!!
It's wonderful seeing more of Sara with PMJ again. What a great voice, what a beautiful woman.
Happy you visited our newest video. Thanks!
@@SaraNiemietz You are a wonderful singer and I loved your music for many years. Thank you.
@@stevegrieb6596yayyy
I am speechless about the Aura of this Lady. She makes a grey Day shine like a Sunflower. Everything is perfect in this Presentation.
Truly honored by your kind words. Thanks!
Feeling your ❤️❤️❤️. What a fun arrangement to perform. Grateful!
Congrats, Sara!!
Sara's weird "weird" was such a great grabber moment. I won't be able to hear the original the same way again.
Awwwww…..
Never thought I'd see the day of Fireflies Bossa Nova, but wow is it good
Yayyyy. Thanks!
Sara Niemietz + PMJ = musical magic!
Not sure what’s more fun for her - the song or the dress!!! I’ve never wanted to applaud a video before!
Reminds me a bit of a little girl enthusiastically showing off her princess dress, her inner child certainly loved all of this!
The divine Miss Sara! I've watched this one so many times. Her very best, I think. She just radiates such joy that I find myself smiling all the way through. ❤
Grateful you listen!
i will always watch her sing. you can tell she loves it. she is playing an instrument she enjoys
Truly honored. Thanks for your kindness.
Sara ALWAYS slays on PMJ. My favorite featured singer by far
Wow! Thank you
There are not enough worlds in the human language to express how wonderful this music video truly is. All I can say that it FANTABULOUS!!!! Bless you all and thank you!!!
Thank YOU!!! We had fun!
Rarely do I see a cover where I still prefer the original over it, but if I had heard the cover first, I'd prefer it over the original.

Wow! Thanks for being here!!
I didn't know how much I missed Fireflies. Thank you!
Alwaysssss loved this song.
I think Owl City is touring Japan.
Same!
It's great to see @SaraNiemietz singing with PMJ again. This take is so different from the original but Sara hits exactly the right note
Thanks! Sooo much fun!!
I can't even hide how unashamedly in love I am with Sara's voice. Excellent cover
Grateful you like and listened.
That power of this song... Wow, that is amazing and joyful.
Thanks!😊
The Queen on PMJ!!! Sara's performances are always magical!

Thanks for listening!
She really creates magic with the band. Transporting you to another era
I kept waiting for the lights to go down and everyone glittering in the dark. But I can always dream it happened!
Man, been waiting a cover for this song for so long. And it was worth it.
This would make a great song to play at a Christmas party
She looks like she's having sooo much fun. Lovely
Thanks!! I am!!!
The dress is giving Princess Tiana 🐸💚✨️
Love this interpretation- reignites the fantasy and joy in the song! ❤
I always watch when Sara sings. She was one of the first singers with PMJ that I saw. She's a real talent. I think "Don't Stop Believing" was the first video I saw her in. Just outstanding!

I love this song, too. Thanks for listening to our version.
I love this cover. The song takes on a whole new meaning
Ah, bossa nova! How long has it been since I learned anything new in this genre...Thank you.
This is absolutely incredible, WOW. The "I'm weird!~" flourish got a delighted giggle out of me. 😅
Awww thanks
There was nobody else better for fronting this production - fact! Sara was so suited to this! And I don't normally notice dresses but...THAT DRESS! 🔥 A @Miss Sunny Holiday special maybe? 😍
Thanks! Definitely, the AMAZING Sunny!!!
I'm on and off with PMJ in general, but I'm a simple girl, I see Sara Niemietz and I click! One of my favorite vocal inspirations 🥰
Appreciate your support! Thank you!!
This channel has to be one of the greatest wonders of our world.
This brought me way back. My grandma used to listen to bossa nova music and we'd have it on while hanging out. Thank you!
The pure joy this exudes
Awww thanks! Sooo much fun.
Always fun when Sara is around!
Awww thanks! Fun to be around!
I love all the musicians and singers who perform and have performed at PMJ, but Sara... She is so charming, and has such a unique voice.
Happy you listened.
Oh, this is just so nice. It gives me vibes of a rainy night spent in a New York City nightclub in the late 1950s with a hard drink for company. Simply blissful, and top notch!
Thrilled! Thank u!
She clearly loved and had fun wearing that dress!
What a fun version of this song! Thank you!
Thanks! You KNOW it!!
Voice is gorgeous, flute is crisp, dress is lit... we're having a good time.
Honored by your kind words and time to listen and watch.
That was LOVELY Sara. What a joy to see you in a new PMJ take on this Owl City classic.
Thanks
Sara's enjoying the vibes of the song. 🤗
Truly! Andddd always a big fan of this song!
Gosh she just has you smiling the entire time!!! Love this cover.

Remember when there was an era of movies where every end credits scene was Owl City? I cant un-remember
Always wonderful hearing PMJ from back then until now. A proud fan here
Honored. Happy you visited.
4 years later, and Sara, you're still too cute for this world!

My grandpa had a number of jazz records and I'm sure would have loved this. Excellent arrangement and performance
Awwwww. So great to hear!
Sara is literally the only pmj singer I click for😂

Not only are they vocalists, but some of them are excellent actors. Like her, for example, she's beautiful.
