fireflies by owl city except it’s the last 20 seconds played 6 times and slowed down 

This makes me sad

This calms me yet makes me sad......... I love it

Imagine slowly bleeding out in the snow and u just stair in the sky and the clouds slowly fade away in your eyes

Honestly I hate that this song has turned into a meme. You listen to this "remix" I guess one could call it, and you hear how beautiful this song really is. Yes, I still listen to this song. Yes, I enjoy Owl City as a band.

This was used on an edit and it was for my favorite show the originals and a character died and it made me cry😭

It’s funny how she goes from “I love you” to delivered 1week*

Okay now, imagine this being played in an empty toys r us store, that shits sad 😞😞😞

Imagine an astronaut singing this song while Earth is exploding

Hug your parents. Tell them you love them. Spend as much time as you can with whoever you love. Tell that special person how you feel. Don't hold back. Do whatever you want to do in life. Follow your passion. You never know when your last day is going to be. And when it arrives you will wish you did all of these things. Don't hurt yourself. Wrists aren't for cutting and your heart isn't supposed to be locked. It may seem hard, but you will get through it. So go out there. Do what you love. Because any day can be your last. If you need anyone to talk to I'm here always here. I love you guys.. stay safe.

This hits me with an overwhelming amount of sadness that I can not explain.

2019 me. May 27th: yesterday I just graduated from high school and I still can’t believe it? This actually happened? so, right now I’m listening to this on repeat with tears rolling down.. thanks for reading..

Anyone from 2020 hearing this latenight and getting sad? Or is it just me? Edit: Thanks for all the Likes I Hope it gets better for yall. Guys I finally know it, it gets better! Trust me Edit 2: OK nvm

I desperately need the full version in these Low tones like now otherwise I might just die omfg

it’s like adam got old and is singing fireflies for the last time :( what i imagine about this song is that adam’s a grandpa, laying down next to the window. we’re his grandchildren listening to him sing for the last time.

This makes me feel nostalgic and I have no clue why but I love it.

Thinking about the soldier who ordered an airstrike on himself after he was the only one left alive at his base

I have such a weird feeling that I can't explain while listening to this, almost like I'm at the end of my childhood and know the journey's done and I'm sad yet happy at the same time

This just really shows that sometimes we need the music.. sometimes we need the lyrics. The original has a happy ring to it but when slowed down like this, it makes it seem so sad. It doesn’t have that childlike beep-bop kind of tune to it. :(

Everytime I hear this it makes me want to cry. Like honest tears....

This “remix” makes me think about the reality, and how we are f*cking up the gift of living. And the future of the eventually next generations, every day can be the last. The earth 20 years ago was beautiful and look at it now. The animals are dying because of plastic, the atmosphere is going worse and worse. I know that no one is gonna see this but everybody needs to wake up and look at what we’re doing. We’re ruining the only survivable place in the universe. Think about it...

Is it normal that this sound is beautiful to me? Just asking :P

I’m gonna come back to this comment in a while, check out the memories.. and all I can say is.. this comment section is a safe place.

This makes me think of a shit ton of memories from my childhood and all my friends I've lost Just it makes me sad

This part of the song just makes me feel like... I’m not here and I’m not at a good place at all I’m sad and this just makes me feel better and think

A good crying song

The “when I’m a sleep” hits different ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

this makes me calm- anyone else?? i’m very stressed so it makes me peaceful edit : nope i’m sad now

Imagine if we all die (corona or whatever) and our pets are alone They have nobody Edit: STOP I FORGOT I POSTED THIS WHY DID I SAY THIS OMMLZLLD IM SO SORRY

i love this ... its so sad but pleasing to me . ive hit replay more than once and thats a good sign

*"...when I fall asleep..."*

Whoever edited this knows there shit, he’s targeted the frequency’s in the music to calm your mind however make up feel low in a way yet doesn’t make you depressed

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

I just got chills thinking about life

this song was played in a marvel edit and it makes me think of how marvel has impacted on so many peoples lives in such a positive way and it makes me so happy🥺

once i get older ill be wondering where the time went when i stayed up to 3 am playing with friends watching youtube sitting in bed without a care in the world... and that. That terrifies me. guess i should enjoy it before its gone

Ok but did anyone else just think of the good memories you had from this

This part always reminds me being in the beach when it’s night time can’t wait to feel that again God bless you guys🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

This is so beautiful idk why but I got so overwhelmed with emotions 😭💖

I wish this was on spotify

i was listening to this song in the middle of the night while staring at my ceiling. i felt free and like none of my stress existed anymore. i felt happy but sad at the same time...

This actually made me cry it's so sad 😢

All my memories with my family and friends raced through my head

I know people are thinking of sad stuff when hearing this but I think it's really calming. It's making me feel nostalgia I've never had.

this song reminds me of the one time i floated on my back in the pool. i didnt care or anything, i floated and relaxed all my muscles. it was so peaceful to be take a break from chaos and tap into rest.

This song is being made into a meme, when its beautiful. Nobody understands.

i needed this thank you - it’s my fav part of the song

Sad ... years of good and lovely memories are gone ... we cant bring them back 💔

I love when its slowed it sounds so sad which is surprising how do you make such a happy song sad it makes me think of an edit of my 2nd favorite artist who recently died, Xxxtentacion.

Makes me calm down but gets me sad at the same time man

Imagine: Ur a astronaut and u look outside of the spaceship and see the world in flames while listening to this a tear drops and realise you didn’t say love u back to that special person. 😭

Can you do the same thing with the whole song?

The things we have all been going thru is just impressive, and with this music u can peacefully rest, have a good one on the other side of this screen. ❤

Lying in the open grass near the forest with head resting on a branch, a small stream of water 10 feet away, looking at the distant buildings of the city. This song plays in the background, gets slower with each passing second. Your heartbeat gets slower as you get dizzy from losing too much blood. You can't even feel the pain of the knife wound anymore. You get surrounded by butterflies, beautiful colors and size. The sky looks bright blue with small fluffy white cloud patches drifting by. The wind is so soft and cool. Your hair dances along with the breeze. The sunlight looks nice and warm. You slowly lose consciousness and drift off to a never ending sleep. I hope you wake up at paradise.

Ugh the NOSTALGIA! I remember back in 2009, before Ocean Eyes came out, was at his concert in Baltimore…the day Michael Jackson died… At the very end he debuted Fireflies to us early and it was one of the most magical moments ever. Just us in the room getting to hear a masterpiece. While this edit is definitely sad (even more sad with memories and Tiktok videos) I still love it just as I love the original.

I agree!! This was my childhood song and it always reminded me growing up of the Christmas and thanksgiving parties we’d have at my uncle’s every year and my granny would be there too. Now she’s not here anymore. She passed away May 21, 2021. I love her very much and miss her so much every single day! This slowed version really brings all the memories from over the years back. It makes me cry almost every time I hear it. Make sure you tell your friends and loved ones that you love them right now and continue to because you never know when their time will be up. Love you all, God bless!❤️

This song just takes all the stress and sadness off my shoulders and just let’s me enjoy life for a bit

Imagine last day of senior saying goodbye to all of your friends and all going your separate ways

Here I am, in 2021, contemplating our existence and the fate of society. Humanity. It all seems to be worn so thin nowadays. This song is my “happy” song, or rather, a song that I can relax and reminisce to. Remembering my childhood, my teenage years, and how I took them for granted. How I lived for the moment, wasted time, energy, and finances on people that didn’t deserve it. This is my tedtalk. To all those like me, in 2021, I hope your year is starting off great and only gets better. I don’t know you-personally-I may never get the chance. I just wish the best for everyone who comes across this comment. . .

When you haven't heard a new Owl City song in 2 years

This is a Jacksepticeye Edit and this song slowed down was half the reason I loved the edit.

yk what makes me sad, people loved this song but never gave a chance to listen to the rest of his stuff, it's really good. adam young is the most humble person I've ever seen :)

Does this not bring back memories for anyone else?

I listen to this song on replay to go to sleep- for some reason it makes me think about all the shows that have ended with my childhood-

There's something abt this song that brings tears in my eyes

Imagine, You're an Astronaut and you're trapped in space and your oxygen level is dying and you suddenly remember all of those happy times where you were with your Friends and family having a great time, and you take a look at Earth one last time before dying

This reminds me of a girl who sacrifice herself to please others, she devoted herself to them even if it means losing herself, losing her dream, losing her path, losing her light and drown herself, not wanting to be saved but want to be found... Good jod on yoyr journey, my love. Good job patting your head when thing get rough. Just keep looking up there, love. Because his there watching you proudly as you take yourself to the moon as you swam away from the shore.

This is sooo soothing n calming...

This makes me want to chase the stars. To fly in the sky over the city. To go on an adventure with Peter Pan, to live life, to find that one person that makes me happy...

Anyone else imagine you wake up in a room stood up, and there is every version of you for every year you have existed and will exist and you csn just interact with them and you know you won't remember meeting them

The happy days you have starts to fade away thinking you lost everything in life but you gained so much more

i literally love you so so much thank you so much o m g I LOVE YOU

Imagine falling off of something really high. You think about the happy moments and memories you have gone through, before you die. You think about your parents, siblings, friends, and the most important people in your life, your dog, family, pets. You accept fate, and you think that when you die, your vision goes blurry, and the last thing you see is the wonderful sky, and the last thing you remember is the most happiest, important, people and memories. (no idea Advice.) its natural to let your feelings out, crying is not for the weak, it makes us get stronger, wrist or our body is not supposed to be hurt/cut. Ending your life is not the way, nobody wants to see their family to be in sorrow. Even bullies, or mean people get sad. They all have their mistakes because, nobody is perfect. (Mean Bully Advice.) They are probably neglected by their family. (neglected means that they dont receive that much attention.) These people (bullies) usually suffer from neglect, and is willing to get any type of attention, even negative ones. so please, try to be patient with them. no matter how you hurt them or they hurt you, try to talk it out (if thats not the reason i have no idea anymore, or they are just trying to be cool) (uncontrollable crying.) Take deep breaths, and think of your happy place. if your being yelled/scolded, try to distract yourself from the yelling. while you look at them, try to think of your happy place. like i said, its natural to cry, it feels easier if you let it all out, no matter how people laugh at you, its alright, forget about it. (d3pr3$$3d) please dont hurt yourself. Go talk with a therapist, holding it back will bring pressure. If your still a child (around 10-13) talk with your parents, tell them how you feel about them, or any kind of problem. or, at school talk with the teacher, or the school therapist (i have no idea what they are called but they let you talk about problems, any kind of problem. i dont know if this is in every kind of school.) do not hide it, again, you can let it out, cry! letting it all out can make you feel less pressured, and sometimes it makes you feel better. (we are big already.) we have our own opinions, we can play with kids toy even if you are an adult or teen (ex. roblox, slime. etc.) they can say "that is for kids!", "Your a child! haha.". if you get offended, try to tell them to stop, its mean. any time, but dont forget to do your homework haha yes, i got the advice from my head, i did not google anything, if you type "lol nobody cares." or "you wasted your time on this!", or any type of hate comments, I will ignore you, people who will make them stop, just dont, they will continue. then they will eventually stop in boredom.

This song goes so well over any nostalgic memories as you love reliving them but also get sad cause you may never live like that again

This...this is good...never knew I needed this. Thanks RU-vid recommended 👍

this makes me so calm and its the perfect time to hear this because im feeling broken right now..

there are no words for this 😭😭😭

“I’d make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly,it’s hard to say I’d rather stay awake when I’m asleep ,because my dreams were bursting out of the seems”

Imagine being the last person on earth, a cloudy day and listening to this on repeat with headphones on..

I get goosebumps everytime i listen to this, yet i love it

This is even sadder than 60% of sad music out there

4 am, staring at my ceiling, listening to this and remembering a simpler time in life when I wasn’t stressed out, down, or hopeless lmao... man what I would give to go back....

2012- Playing with friends on minecraft 2022- playing by yourself and remembering the good times I want this feeling back😭😭😭

The last 20 seconds always hit the hardest

*Messages one week ago :* Me :"okay I'm going to sleep, goodnight, love you, get some sleep, okay luv? ❤" Him : "okay, I'll try. Goodnight and same. " *Messages now :* Me :"can I help you,, somehow?" Him :"trust me,, if I knew how to help myself I would already feel better. " Me :"just.. Don't do anything stupid okay? I'm worried about you" Him :"I already tried it 9 times and I failed... No reason for me to try again. I'm going to get drunk so I can stop thinking about stuff. " Me :"... Ok.. " (Based on a true chat going on at 12th November 2020 1:47 AM) also by that thing I meant suicide..

driving on a rainy road makes me think of life as it is.. and how depressing the world is nowadays... when it rains i just sit here and cry no clue why.. the world is falling apart and nobody knows why and how. but anyways i like this song and keep up the work.❤️

this is too good it makes me so depressed but cures it from being enternally permanent

Imagine the world is slowly falling apart and all humans have to evacuate the planet and as we slowly rocket away from earth and this song starts to play. Then you close your eyes and your old memories start to flow through your brain you open your eyes and see a small dot that used to be home

I.. finally found this. Beatiful

All I can picture is a 12am drive in your car, just you, empty streets and just in your feels 😔

THIS. THIS IS E X A C T L Y WHAT I WANTED THANK YOU

This song makes me have flashbacks 😔

This calms me down... Makes me think that the sadness exists everywhere... Ty for this vid❤️

I like how the piano is emphasized with headphones because as a piano player I mostly enjoyed the bass sections of music

The man that made this is a absolute legend

me crying to this at 3am: 👁👄👁💧

This song is on TikTok and I had been looking for this song for years and years and now I can listen to fireflies for ever

I met this Person in 7th grade she's good, tough, smart, creative and a very good leader and President of our classroom and the most warming part is she created a bond that we will never forget no matter what. She treated all of us like her young brothers and sisters, I looked up at her and she gained my respect because of that but it's so sad and painful because she passed away last march😞 but the memories and lessons she left will be in our hearts forever.

this was my favorite song when i was little so hearing this brings back tons of memories from my childhood and it just makes me so emotional
