Since this seems to be on a few Top Ten of 2009 lists recently, I thought I'd post a link to the song that it's very obviously "influenced by" (and I'm being generous there) for anyone who isn't familiar with it.

Such Great Heights by The Postal Service.

Owl City - Fireflies is a GREAT SONG
Glad they got a #1 in the states

It just somthing different, really catchy
Would have done good as a soundtrack in a film, maybe in avatar

Did you even read my post?

Been hearing/reading about this song for weeks now and finally got round to listening to it. I love it, but don't think it's *that* good?

Its really grown on me!

As I thought, it's been made available on iTunes early, presumably because of a few fake versions creeping up the iTunes chart. It's a certain uk no.1 I'm sure.

Yes!! I knew it sounded familar.

The song isn't great, the lyrics are odd on fireflies.

I really like Fireflies. It's a sweet song, and quite fresh if you know what I mean?I love the video too

most of the time, he tends not to.

it sounds similar i suppose, but the majority of people who like it may not have heard the postal service before, so it would sound like something new and different to them.

I like Owl City, but this is one of my least favourite songs of his.

This made me laugh!

But he'll listen if it's about Jay Sean, I'm sure

oh i don't doubt it

Cash Money Records Playboy, More Cash Than You See In The Garbage Cans, Brap! 100!

Sounds a bit like it, influenced is probably the right word, not copied as you are insinuating.

Bleethat YM CM LOL!

Lmfao :P good to see you showing some love for other artists besides Jay Sean btw timperry proud of ya :P

Does anyone know the official release date? Because DS is saying 22nd Feb, yet it's already been released to itunes, or a radio edit has. Is February the physical release then?

i got this album from amazon.com, and its amazing. these guys will be HUGE next year.

Yes, it was originally meant to be released Feb 22nd, but as I predicted, it got released on download early - presumably because there were a few fake versions floating about on iTunes. I'm a bit miffed that only the radio edit is available as opposed to the full version with the longer intro and the first chorus. But I'm sure that will be released Feb 22nd as originally planned.


Owl City is just one guy isn't it? Singer/songwriter/producer Adam Young.

Ah, because I bought the radio edit from iTunes, but I've been listening to the rest of the album on iTunes and it's really good so I think I'll buy the album when it comes out

And Owl City is just one guy, Adam Young
