Owl City - "Fireflies" official music video

Fireflies

Owl City

Owl City consists of one talented Minnesotan, Adam Young. Young first began his music career as a means to treat his insomnia. When his Myspace posts grew in popularity, he was given the opportunity to sell music via iTunes. Maybe I'm Dreaming, his first EP, peaked at #13 on the Billboard Electronic Charts and launched him into the mainstream music industry. Although since then his single Fireflies has become a quadruple-platinum, Young continues to play rather than sleep, and he prefers to stay in the background due to a level of shyness ("Sudden notoriety has done nothing to change the shy person I was born as, and though I don't see that trait even changing, I am totally OK with it." -Young).

"I am fallen, flawed and imperfect. Yet drenched in the grace and mercy that is found in Jesus Christ, there is strength."

- Adam Young
