Fireflies

It's funny how much your kids can open up your mind to new things. Luke came home from a friend's house singing this new song, and was begging me to look it up on You Tube for him.

I had never heard of Owl City or their song "Fireflies." (I'm positive that I'm completely out of it when it comes to the music scene. It's quite possible that everyone in the world has heard this song except for me).

Anyway, "Fireflies" is all we have been listening to the last few days and if you haven't heard it, you've got to take a quick listen and look. I am completely mesmerized by it. The song itself is such a great reminder of the innocence of childhood and shows a deep longing for that magical time, but check out the video... if you are a child of the 70's, you will see some of your favorite things that you probably had forgotten about.

It is a catchy little tune! The girls LOVE it and it is so nice that the lyrics are age appropriate - for anyone.

Hey, from the music guru to you -- thanks for the music suggestion! I'd never heard of them either, but I loved the video. Although I recognized many of the toys from my childhood, I especially enjoyed the organ and all it's funky buttons. My grandma had one at her house, and my brother and I would make up endless songs using the "bossanova" or other hilarious beat buttons. I'll have to go buy this one on iTunes...:)
