This is an amazing song. Still.



Yesterday, I stopped by the apple store. I was demoing a JBL dock and speakers with my iPhone and I was playing the above song..."Fireflies" by Owl City. This song is currently one of my favorites. I tear up about everytime I hear it. This guy who was in buying a MacBook for his wife stopped by and said how much he loved the song. He then proceeded to purchase it right there in the store with his iPhone.

To me, it is amazing how all of us are different, but the way music impacts us...and how we can all enjoy just a great song is very reassuring.

I have head this song before on the satellite radio, and to be honest, I had never really listened to the message that it tells. When you play it and really focus on it, there are many truths we can apply to our lives from this song. One that stood out the most was "Sometimes goodbye is a second chance."

If you think about that, in order for change to occur, you have to say "goodbye" to one way, and "hello" to another. An example I want to speak about real quick is a child. A child grown up and becomes a teenager. The clock is ticking before that teenager needs to get out and be his own person. In order to do that, he must say goodbye to family life at home and therefore say hello to his new life ahead of him. It is more than likely a major emotional step for both parties involved, but it is what is best for the teen and his future.

Is there something else that stood out to you in this song?
