Warm Your Cockles On This

If you're a fan of Daft Punk and the such, you may like this video by amazingly named synth band, Owl City:

This is the most sweetly inoffensive song I've heard in a while. In fact, if this isn't used in the next Disney Pixar film they'll have missed a trick. You can't get twee-er than this.

I get a thousand hugs from a ten thousand lightning bugs as they tried to teach me how to dance- aaw!



It's so refreshing to hear a song that's not about the minefield that is the world of relationships or angst. For ONCE, it's not about some stupid ditzy girl whose bloke cheated on her, or about some guy chasing after a girl who's out of his league, it's literally just a song about fireflies. And escapism and hope if you're really that bothered. Either way it's hardly the next Black Parade which can only be a good thing. Personally, I think it's quirky in all the right ways and I expect to see big things from these guys this year.
