Music Video - Owl City: Fireflies

I absolutely love the nostalgia garnered from this creative new artist with all the classic/vintage toys in the room.

He's been compared to Ben Gibbard (Death Cab for Cutie, The Postal Service).

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


"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.

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?
