It's not a full cover but a two part cover

First part: Meteor Shower
Second part: Fireflies

Both from Ocean Eyes album by Owl City.

Probably would be interesting if they kept it on Meteor Shower, as Fireflies has been played and heard a lot but not many has heard some of the other melodies which are just as great.

What I want to know is why 10,000 lightning bugs only give him 1,000 hugs. Do they each give him a fraction of a hug? Do they choose 1,000 among them to hug him? How do they choose? A glowing contest?

"Rips off Ben Gibbard mightily" or "Reissuing the same music 7 years later while replacing all Bens darker, more sincere lyrics with horrible nonsensical sugary counterparts which appeal to the teens and tweens"?
I'm sorry, but "I get 1.000 hugs from 10.000 lightning bugs" is just plain painful to listen to. Whenever i hear Owl City on the radio, I get slightly depressed. Not due to the music, but because of everything it represents.

"been compared to Ben Gibbard" or "rips off Ben Gibbard mightily" ?

Thanks for the try on the promote for the Owl City video.

Too bad no one else saw the value in it enough to get it sifted!
