A cover of Owl City’s "Fireflies"
When I first heard “Fireflies” by Owl City, the melody caught my attention. I like its relaxed sound and tempo. It’s not the kind that will make you fall asleep though. It’s more of a slow rock, one that makes me sway, sing along, or beat my hands on the table as if I’m playing with imaginary drums. I just like its chill out sound. The lyrics of the song doesn’t really convey a deep message. It’s more of like a play with words. But who knows? It depends on your perspective. It may have deeper meanings after all. As for me I just simply enjoy it.

I found a cover of the song, an acapella version done by Delfin Lazaro of the Fil-Am group Legaci. This R&B band is based in San Francisco Bay, California and they do back-up singing for Justin Bieber. I have to give credit to iamsuperfox for introducing me to the group.
I just find this one man acapella version really amusing. You should see his pop-up comment on the video (time – 1:31) where he was playing an air guitar. Is there such a thing? Anyway, he’s quite a talent!
When you really love something, in this case, music and singing, there are limitless ways of expressing it. Passion for something brings forth one’s creativity and ingenuity. What I like about this is he’s simply having a grand time doing this. And I am very much delighted listening to his wonderful voice and unique rendition.

Oh yes, I listened to it, it’s awesome.
I didn’t hesitate to spend time watching the video — I knew you’r be a reliable reference. Now that you have introduced me to this group, I think I could become a fan. Really.

Amazing, great spirit.

sorry that should be “I knew you’d be a reliable reference.” ( I should really work on my typing and computer skills.:-D )

Nice one brewed. Pinagsawaan ko talaga dati ang kantang ‘to. It was during our first day as trainees sa isang company. It was repeatedly played at the reception area. The whole 2 hours na naghintay kami and everyday na pumapasok kami, it’s the only song played over and over again as if there’s no other song na pwedeng ma-play…
Anyway, I think that acapella version is nicer than the original one. Thanks for sharing…

This reminds me of the local group, “tux” composed of former UP Concert Chorus members. Ryan Cayabyab also did “One” (Pinagsawaan ng tatay ko).But this one is a solo performer. Ang galing! Pinagpaguran talaga niya. Passion nga naman.
