omg he is the best human being ever. When he is on stage he looks like he is enjoying every minute of it, unlike most artists who look like they want to go home. He is the most down to earth celebrity ever and this is my favourite version of Fireflies

You would never believe that this was once an introverted insomniac from a small town in Minnesota. Love you Adam! Good luck and lots of love!

This is such a good live performance! He nails that note in the chorus!

WHY ISN'T THE CROWD LIKE FAINTING? Oh my god, if I was there, I would be the one like scaring Adam away cuz I'd be like crying and screaming every lyric

This is STILL my favorite jam.

I think this song is about dreaming when you are sleeping. He dreams about fireflies lighting the world, like disco balls as he sleeps, and he dreams of the earth turning and he is dancing like the fireflies in his sleep.

I know this is like 3 years late, but the song is actually about his insomnia, he only wrote it because he couldn't sleep, he tried to understand his condition

Actually, I mean, think whatever you want, but in an interview he said it literally has *no* meaning. He just couldn't sleep and put notes/lyrics together

I think it’s a very deep song with multiple meanings. The most obvious is his insomnia-people with insomnia are often sleepy during the day and in a dreamlike state. Plus, some of us have really realistic and vibrant dreams. Lots of people with insomnia are also super creative and are our most creative during the late night. On another level, it’s the late-night musings of an insomniac on the fact that Life’s going fast and he’s losing time. I think it’s interesting how he seems to comment not just on insomnia or dreams but also life and the fleeting moments as well

He is so cute!

He's so good live

I hope I get to see him live some day!!!!!

@@gooberthoreau While he's using auto tune it's a much lighter version called pitch correcter and honestly it's not such a bad thing Alot of artist have talent for writing songs and I think that auto tune while being artificial is a nice way to display your song writing abilities while not making it unbearable to hear. PS even though Adam used pitch correction here I still think he's improved after the last year live! Go check out his cinematic tour he did a great job

it's so fun to watch the awkward people dancing or noticing there dancing on or grooving on TV hahah

that lead guitarists licks add so much to this song, i’ve heard the song a thousand times and don’t listen to it intentionally anymore but i looked up this video just for his contribution

The people there are so lucky, they don't even know. The people there waving at the camera...I wouldn't take my eyes off of Adam for a second.

It's so sad that he is too underrated😭

Goodness, he is SO handsome. Hehe

OMG the girl at the end with the old iPod. Pure nostalgia.

I think he sounds amazing! Been a fan for some time now

This one is probably my favorite live from him, and in my opinion the best sounding. Go Owl City!

What I like about Owl City is that their Recorded voice and live voice are same :D

Way too many lead singers (like twenty one pilots for example) are always trying something new with their voice and it just sounds dumb. But with owl city, whenever you hear him live your guaranteed to get something as good or better than what you would get from the studio.

He sounds nothing like studio when he sings live in a good way because he uses auto tune for his older songs but in an appropriate way not to make him sound better but to fit the song better but he still sounds good live

His doesn't even need autotune at all. His live vocal also the same we heard from studio version

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 us still a cool song

oh amazing! please come back to indonesia again :)

OWL city is so COOL

I love this song

Good Song

this is some of the most underrated live perfomances

There's no autotune here..

Lmao the girl waves to the camera

wait there's no difference in the album and i KNOW he is not lip singing WOW he's good

Watching this in 2018😁😍

I hate how the people in the audience are obviously only there to be on television. I find that rude. I mean, except for that one amazing person with the iPad and some other people. If I was there, I would've been screaming and shouting and crying every single lyric.

Not trying to be rude or anything but that is not True. Ive seen concerts that are more quieter than this and the reason for that is because they are listening and feeling the song, so yeah a concert doesn't always have to be shouting and screaming and huge fans fainting. As long as they admire and feel the song that is already a lot of respect.

My favorite song together with 'In Dreams' by Howard Shore.

Im presuming the audience dont love him cos i was there i would be screaming th lyrics out and jumping around and recording that one precious momnent

Poor Adam, the audience dropped him when he tried passing off "Please take me away from here" to them.

troll or dumb i don't know, but favourite is the british spelling

he IS the auto tune :0

he really killed this performance too bad its bad quality.

Oh there's definitely auto-tune, but Adam uses it tastefully in this performance and you can tell he is very capable of hitting those notes without it. The guitar riffs and the live drums make this a rocking performance. I'm starting to like this a lot more than the recorded version.

Oh god a scary face on 1:29 damn she looks like she wanted you to come XD

I remember when I heard this on TV and it ruined my life

Please take me away from here. REALLY PEOPLE? SING LOUDER

I'm sorry to tell you but he does use autotune, and using autotune live is very so possible , and so very easy!! doesn't stop the great music he makes though :)

Adam uses a vocal tuning program called melodyne. It's not autotune, it doesn't tune your vocals it just corrects errors.

Holy shit he sounds Amazing.... !! Good job autotune !
