This song appears every year on my 100 top of Spotify.

Did you steal that dog, and that's why we haven't heard from you?

I swear I'm not a creep. But I would love to hear more.

i come back here all the time

Genuinely I think this is one of the best songs of all time. It's so heartfelt and heartbreaking and feels exactly like a bleak and barren November afternoon

Redescovering this song every 2-3 years since I was 12ish I'll see you next year!

I can't believe they made a whole holiday just to celebrate this song. Happy 4th of July! ❤💙🤍

This is such a devastatingly good song, I hope one day Laurena puts this and all her later songs on bandcamp or Spotify somewhere. This and Pentecost red are just so good to be sitting alone on RU-vid.

This song has been on the tip of the wrinkles of my brain for YEARS. I literally could only remember the picture of you with the umbrella-- nothing else. It's been driving me crazy. Thank god past me put it in a random one off playlist ❤️

I hate that you're like out there, writing songs. And, you're like, not even letting me here them.

I wonder...if she hit the "Got Talent" or "The Voice" stage, maybe?

12 years, man does time go fast. I can't listen to this lovely song more than once a year or so, the melancholy I feel is too overwhelming.

So I’m watching the Vlogbrothers from the beginning and watched John sign TFIOS with Fireflies of Montreal in the background. Oh my… Thank you oh so much!

Please, I've come back 9 years later to beg you. Please release an mp3 or something of your original recording. I will pay anything you ask just to have a pure verson of your rendition. I'd accept a new redo if the original is lost. Just please don't forget about this gift of a cover.

Still one of my absolute favourite songs. It seems like everything in my life has changed but this song has always been there to give me comfort. I’m 12 years late to say this but thank you from the bottom of my heart.

A song I will always have the privilege of loving. ❤

This reminds me of wondereye by little moon

Really glad I watched that one vlogbrothers video years ago; always fun to remember you and come back and listen to it all over again. I hope your well.

Climate change is what happened to thr fireflies of Montreal

Certified Hood Classic

Bellísima versión... muy profunda!..

Your beautiful voice and vocal skill have brought me to tears. Thank you.

I return to you everyday, I miss this days long gone. Those days that never were, the days we were not

I hope that you are ok after all. Ok. Ok.😉

This is my favorite version of this song

Terrific

Hey, love all your music but I just listened to fireflies of Montreal through some good headphones and discovered a whole new depth to the song. Looking forward to hearing the rest. Thank you.

:)

its been 12 years and i still think about your music all the time 💚💚

Someone I'm really fond of sent this to me, and I really like it! Keep it up!!!

Just found this now ... concert worthy performance here! .. this song is simply beautiful .. especially if you live here in Ndg, where we really do have fireflies ..

At a very young age you were able to create several genius masterpieces of your own unique style, which will stand forever as bright witnesses of an extraordinary talent. As a songwriter I see you in a row with famous artists such as Cat Stevens and Leonard Cohen, and others. And maybe also Sofia Karlsson, a swedish folk artist, just to mention a few.

Whoever he is, he must be blind.

In my option your best song.

This still reaches in my soul and gives it a squeeze. ❤

So, you are doing a fake live lip-synching of your voice or someone else's

Miss you! Your music has been on my daily Playlist for 8 years and counting. Hope to see you post again eventually 💛💛

I keep coming back to your music. Listening to it brings such a swell of emotion that I can't explain. I appreciate that you release your work whenever you know that it's finished, and I appreciate the artistry in that. I just wish, selfishly, that there was more. It feels like a moment sitting quietly in bright moonlight. Regardless of whether or not you release music again, I hope your life is treating you well.x

Nice

It took me 20 minutes of searching for this song, giving up, and then the word permafrost slapping me across the face. Let this song never slip away from me.

Was wondring what the happiest armchair of Canada might look like...

Wow and I'm balling at the end of the song again. Fuck I missed this song.

My last comment on this video was 11 years ago, and I still remember every single word.

Still know every word to this song by heart...

Laurena, please , just say that your are going to make more music

That was lovely. 🥹

I can imagine your music blowing up 60 years from now like Connie Converse's. Please just don't disappear!

i still love this song

I've always loved this song. It perfectly captures the sort of surreal dreamlike quality of the 4th of July. With everyone off for the holiday and shooting off fireworks with the smoke making the world look hazy. When it's in the middle of a school break and the novelty of having nothing to do all day has worn off and you're secretly starting to look forward to school and routine to start again. When youre young time kindve stops in the summer and you just sortve float through it. ❤️❤️❤️
