Okay, so I've had a bit of time to get college work cleared and i was browsing the world water web for music. My friend (who coincidentally was the 'The Best DJ' from 08) then suggested Owl City - Fireflies. I enjoyed the track, and though; "you know what! I'll remix it!"
I found the sheet music for it got building. 10 hours later... I have half a track. After this morning, its finished. The acapella was a DIY I produced.. its poor quality. I dont do DIY's... The frequency clashes quite a bit... After all this was a fun test of my ability as a producer, and a track I hope you'll all like!
Thanks for downloading/listening. Any suggestions technical or whatever are appreciated! I may change the song in the future. Maybe after a few months. There are aspects I'm not too happy with.. For one, god knows why i put that bloody vocal piece in the outtro lol. Aaanyways, its free, so no complaining! :P Ty :)
EDIT::::: The 4shared version has been updated with minor changes. I've reincorporated some original sounds and changed bits I didnt like.

Wish i could listen to your remix pal but that is the gayest song i have ever heard. It's bad enough having it on the radio all day, i refuse to put myself through.

I love the original! I don't see how it's gay, I really like it and it makes me happy :)
Artist - Owl City
Lyrics -
You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
'Cause they'd fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude
But I would just stand and stare
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep
Leave my door open just a crack
(Please take me away from here)
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(Please take me away from here)
Why do I tire of counting sheep
(Please take me away from here)
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
To ten million fireflies
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams
Gay

I agree that the lyrics are a bit strange but I like the melody etc.. and he talks about the fact he wishes earth would turn slowly, and that he's awake when he's asleep, blablabla I can understand that! No I think its a cool song and I like it :)

No I don't agree! Have you ever heard a song you liked in a language you don't understand? If so, it would be the same thing! You don't understand the lyrics but you like the song! And I heard songs in languages in didn't understand, but still I liked it :) See the point?

I actually think lyrics 90% of the time don't mean shit and i rarely pay attention to them. I only listen to the music and they add to.

well, heres my 2 cents
im no fan of the original - but i wanted to say (and be bluntly honest) i was impressed, usually when i hear your stuff it sounds as though its been run through some wierd archefluxx production machine, with the same sounds just organised a little different etc etc
but this one seemed different :) so kudos!
now...why do you insist on remixing other peoples stuff instead of concentrating on your own? :P
