+Phaztom lucky u... I'm only 12 and have only a little bit of experience but am trying to figure this out. I have bits and pieces of the beginning. My experience is 8 months of 7th grade band practice so...
Don't focus on learning the beginning over and over, if you get stuck in the beginning, move to a part that's easier, than when you get that down go back to the hard part.
The previous video was pretty good quality, so I was curious what would be better... this is the most Beautiful high quality representation of a Synthesia piece I have seen. I have an idea what it took to make this piece, and although I doubt it was anything extreme... it is clear you really took the time and effort to make it as good as reasonably possible. 5/5 stars.
Thanks alot. I really appreciate it. The previous was a playback with the standard microsoft midi output, like the one you usually hear when playing anything in synthesia. This one, is just a recorded synthesia video, with an image overlay. The sound is added in video editing, and was played with a proper sound library. I believe it was Glalaxy Steinway. Music in itself is a powerful instrument, and it can always be improved. I spent hours tweaking the song and settings in the library to get it to the point where I can say i'm proud of it.
The best synthesia tutorial for a song on TH-cam, the layout,the sound quality and the fact That the song sounds exactly the same as the original or better sure proves that you put many hours into making this tutorial and I thank you for this and hope for more tutorials like this 👌
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 (jar, 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 (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 'Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)
I love fireflies, because the music video reminds me of myself, with my bizarre thoughts that almost always seem realistic, but when I tell them to someone they always say "Shut up", or "Don't be stupid". People tell those who are bullied to be themselves, and when they do that, they always get bullied by those same people.
you would not believe your eyes, if 10 million PewDiePies were respecting wamen as I fell asleep. His fandom fills the air, no content anywhere, all he ever does is just stand and stare.
woaah coool man .. thank you for this one of the best piano tutorial that ive watched :) the song is kinda make me wanna play keyboard . hope to learn this soon :)
The man is doing his best with making sure that the person isn't so useless since they can't do the best with how the man is doing, I believe that this is what the song says since it makes a lot of the situations better and how the world is and it makes a lot of things best
GamingSpree Creepypasta Its really not that hard , Ive been playing piano since i was 5 and I play Akame Game kill op at my recital and all my friends didnt even know I could play piano lol
jaylin smith since 5 XD I've been playing since I was 7 or 8 XD one time, I played this REALLY hard song, and everyone said I couldn't do it... But look at the one who did it XD
The reverb makes any peaceful piano music sound even better than it already is. I get mocked for playing piano instead of a "real man's instrument" and the only thing I respond with is the fact that this is something that can put so much emotion in ANYTHING. I've sat down to start playing random licks and mini riffs and I give myself teary eyes and goosebumps because of how beautiful it sounds. I see it as an escape from all of reality's drama. Anyways, just some words from this guy
What do those people think a "real man's instrument" is? The piano is the best! Wish I could play it. I'll just stick to playing the vocal chords, I guess.
thanks so much for the midi file! :) The song isn't as difficult as I thought. Could you make Hot Air Balloon by Owl City next? I have seen a vid where a girl covered it on a harp and it was brilliant! I loved it even more than the original, lol! :D
+rinerion thx (great piano cover btw. I taught myself this song by ear and this cover was pretty well the same as the way i play this song. I'll post this song sometime in the next three months on my channel)
When I look at an easy piano song I’m like “Too easy. I want something Harder” When I look at a hard piano song I’m like “Too hard I want something easier” When I look at a medium piano song I’m like “Too hard I want something easier”
I made these recently posted videos a while ago, but wasn't happy with the way they sounded. But I brought them up again now, and they don't sound too bad, so I decided to post them anyway.

How Synthesia works:
Oh hey, this looks pretty easy. Imma try this and impress so many people!
-2 hours later-
*softly weeps on piano*
i feel ya bro...the struggle is real...XD
I actually got it down in minutes
*had several years of piano practice under professional teacher*
+Phaztom lucky u... I'm only 12 and have only a little bit of experience but am trying to figure this out. I have bits and pieces of the beginning. My experience is 8 months of 7th grade band practice so...
you suk
yup :'(
i learned 4 seconds in 1 hour, cool
+Blitzscrank Just practice ;p I learned the first 34 seconds (only the intro) in 2 hours, my fingers are broken now
+RecapHD yea, i tried learning it a bit more and at my peak i reached up to 0:45 but since then i never tried learning the rest :)
RecapHD I learnt it in 10 mins
That's how playing piano works my friend
Don't focus on learning the beginning over and over, if you get stuck in the beginning, move to a part that's easier, than when you get that down go back to the hard part.
Wow... That was beautiful. The only problem with that is that now I _have_ to learn it. ;)
ikr
*Looks at hands*
Me: Okay I think I'm ready now
The previous video was pretty good quality, so I was curious what would be better... this is the most Beautiful high quality representation of a Synthesia piece I have seen.

mathig nihilcek 50th like
mathig nihilcek pianoreader have very nice displays of midi files
i agree.

ThePianoMan1999 It's funny, cuz the description says it isn't..........lel
+The Phantom Matstubs well I learned it by looking at this video so ah
"I'd like to make myself believe, that planet earth turns slowly."
Those are the best lines in the whole song
In my opinion
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 (jar, 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 (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
'Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)
I could listen from 0:10 to 0:34 all day...
good cause that's the only part I can play so far
Jaguar same
I mean, i wouldn't listen to that part of the song all day, i'd rather kill myself. but i know where you're coming from :)
Owl city is my city
:D
this is beautiful
* wipes a single tear * xD
You would not believe the piano keys
But this cover is the bee's knees
Snickercole Do bees even have knees?
The Communist Meatball. Yeah, they actually do.
Snickercole true. Nice profile pic btw.
why does synthesia always have to make things look a lot harder than they are?
Drake Blue
easier*
Mate, like, look at the keys on the bottom and block the top part and it looks so much easier.
That problem is because of that sythensia shows also the length of how long you have to press a key.
@ 420420420420420420420420
420420420420420420420420
Sheet music also shows that.....
THIS WAS A LEGIT TUTORIAL INSTEAD OF A JOKE MEME BC IT WAS UPLOADED 2015. *SKOOK*
Woww this sounds so amazing!!
Thanks a lot man ! About 5 monts ago I decided to learn this,and it took me a week to completly get it !
Agains,Thanks a lot from France !

Jack Armstrong I guess there is a reason why your last name is Armstrong then :3
Sana Qureshi Lol i mean yea it does make sense
Jack Armstrong shut up
Jack Armstrong Jk love u
Oceanic Man how is that cringe?
This song brings back memories 😃💯❤️
the best song i have listened to in my years,and this song brings back so many memories, oh i knew this song when i first listened to it
This is amazing, I've been wanting to play this song for ages. Thank you!
*Get's piano ad*
"I don't care I just wanna do a cover!"
*Ad goes away by refreshing*
"Thank you!"
+MLP Sweetpaw
Same thing happened to me
I love the piano so much playing it or listening to it just helps wash away the bad things happening
Remember when people used to appreciate the song for how beautiful it is instead of it being a meme
Michael Bean ughh, same. memes aren't for songs like this :(
you would not believe your eyes,
if 10 million PewDiePies
were respecting wamen as I fell asleep.
His fandom fills the air,
no content anywhere,
all he ever does is just stand and stare.
Down with T-series
Lol
This took me over 3 weeks to learn this song. A very hard one to learn indeed.
woaah coool man .. thank you for this one of the best piano tutorial that ive watched :)
the song is kinda make me wanna play keyboard . hope to learn this soon :)
Brings back so many memories :')
Using more than 1 month to learn this. It was worth it.
I can imagine this version of the song playing across the stars, forever echoing into the darkness with the star sparkles in the background.
This is actually surprisingly fun to play! Gotten it down after a couple days :P
love the background :)
Noglastia. I remember this being my favourte song. Hearing it like this, so calming and soothing, makes my so relaxed and happy.
Very nice, I imagine listening to this outside at night in the moonlight.
This is SOOOO relaxful! :D
This to me is better than the original
Learning this, always hits in heart the chorus
It took me 2 days to learn the whole song I'm so glad I can play it now
Fireflies, but it's on piano, and being screamed by 13 year old going through puberty.
LMGTS LOL
So beautiful *sheds tear
This is truly amazing! Altho I did like the original better XD Very well done!
The song takes on a new meaning and feel when played on piano
The man is doing his best with making sure that the person isn't so useless since they can't do the best with how the man is doing, I believe that this is what the song says since it makes a lot of the situations better and how the world is and it makes a lot of things best
This cover is so good it reminds of my childhood
I played this at my piano recital and my teacher was so proud of me XD I've been doing piano for 6 years now XD
GamingSpree Creepypasta Its really not that hard , Ive been playing piano since i was 5 and I play Akame Game kill op at my recital and all my friends didnt even know I could play piano lol
jaylin smith since 5 XD I've been playing since I was 7 or 8 XD one time, I played this REALLY hard song, and everyone said I couldn't do it... But look at the one who did it XD

I am so ready to learn this! (Been playing piano for a day)
BITCTHDHSJWKQ I DID IT HOLY SHIT GOOD BLESS THESE HANDS
*sobs
ITS OVER 9000!!!! 9,001 to be exact congrats!!! :P
Wow, this was fantastic.
This song brings back so many memories😢
When everything slows back down at the end is my favorite part
I'm holding back tears.......this video is so powerful
Boy shut yo sensitive ass up
Nevermind I just cried
thanks so much for the midi file! :) The song isn't as difficult as I thought. Could you make Hot Air Balloon by Owl City next? I have seen a vid where a girl covered it on a harp and it was brilliant! I loved it even more than the original, lol! :D
It amazing!!!
I want it to learn this! I loved it!!
this makes my insides feel warm
I want this background :0
Just do a google image search for owl city+fireflies and you'll find it.
+rinerion thx (great piano cover btw. I taught myself this song by ear and this cover was pretty well the same as the way i play this song. I'll post this song sometime in the next three months on my channel)
Now it's a fucking meme :)
You would not believe your eyes, If you thought this wouldnt take much time, to learn and to memorize until I weeped and cried
Wow! U make it look so easy
Wow its really nice!
It has been a long time since I heard this song
Once you'll get it, it's SO much Fun to play!!!!
this is perfect
Good day from Singapore! I wish you'd have a beautiful day =)
What soundfont do you use?
@rinerion well done!
This is amaZING
This soundfont is beautiful, which Piano font did you use?
I used a VSTI. Galaxy Steinway
The galaxy ahh. Thanks!
I just noticed, the Owl City logo looks suspiciously like the font used in the Sonic 06 logo :O
lol true
Dafstervideos OMG😱
Dafstervideos TRUEEERE
Sonic o'city
i just love it so much
I know it's just the cover art, but the piano looks really cool against the background lol.
wow speechless 💖😮
Ah I wish there were theme-only versions. I find it so hard to learn the theme first when the beautiful bass is there as well. :C
i love this it hit's my heart
excellent my friend! :)
such a surreal song...
well made , bro :)
LOVE THIS SONG!!!
When I look at an easy piano song I’m like “Too easy. I want something Harder”
When I look at a hard piano song I’m like “Too hard I want something easier”
When I look at a medium piano song I’m like “Too hard I want something easier”
Say its amazing
amazing! :)
Always will be the best 2000s song, EVER!. 😭😭😭😃😃😃😃
Me: okay it's not THAT bad, I don't see what everyone's so worked up about
Me upon seeing the first verse: *this is satan's spawn*
Came for the memes, stayed for the song.
Idk why but it sounds like an old iPhone ringtone
wonderful♥

i can use this to try this on a real piano :D i havent tried yet,but i will. liked :)
I love this!!! :D
I had the song playing in my head.
OMG OMG OMG I love this song
Rotate your screen counter-clockwise 90 degrees. Much easier to follow if trying to learn.
I learned 2 seconds in 5 hours
It's gonna take a while for me to learn this whole song...
It is not the Synthesia audio playback in my latest videos. It's a VST ;)
me:this looks pretty easy!
2 minutes later
me:*sobbing on my keyboard* i'll never play a single key ever again :'D
if i can just learn the beginning i'll be the happiest mf on earth
This is way easier to use than a live piano tutorial
