I have to admit, I am a huge sucker for cute pop songs and videos. Normally I would avoid blogging about them, strictly out of embarrassment, but the video for "Fireflies" by Owl City is too endearing not to share. Owl City is the name of a solo project by Adam Young, who much like many artists these days, found initial popularity through MySpace. Young started making music out of his parents basement, which he claims came about as a result of his insomnia. He released two albums before being signed to Universal Music in 2009 and went onto release a third album with the label, Ocean Eyes.
The video for "Fireflies" appeals to everyone's sense of childhood whimsy, something we lose and forget as we get older. But I still remember the days when I thought my toys would come to life as soon as I fell asleep and imagining the adventures I was missing out on. My personal favourite in the video is the crab, it's just so damn cute!
