Me: *sitting minding my own business*
Young: *fireflies*
Me: *ran over by a runaway nostalgia train*
This song has such driver's ed memories, since I only would hear it on the car radio back in '09-'10.
nostalgia train? I have socks older than the original song. JFC.
@@j2ehyp that just means you are in desperate need for new socks.
@@ZPerpetua Mine, too, are wearing thin.
Adam Young? Jonathan Young? Coincidence?
I saw the title and audibly said: "How and why?" like this is the most softcore song I have heard in my entire life so I just didn't see this one coming.
Thats kind of the point sometimes ya know
If you wanna see a heavier version of this id recommend seeing the cover of Fireflies by a band called Make Way for Man
Song request:
Your favourite song that you've always wanted to cover.
He already covered Barbie Girl
@@geoffreysorkin5774 oh damn, forgive my foolishness
And all star
@@LilsqUIRT6671 yea
cringe
This man’s voice is the equivalent of a cozy corner you want to snuggle up in. So warm.
I can just imagine all the metal fireflies in your recording booth head banging to this song
thats just the maggots eating at your braincells
Jonathan: How much Nostalgia do we want in this video?
Also Jonathan: Yes.
Ngl I only liked to make that 200 likes
imagine stealing a joke lmao
Why does a man with such a powerful voice have such a nice falsetto?
Tiny Tim Inverted ! : Giant George !
So this entire song was perfection but those high notes were PERFECTION
so... the song was perfect??? whats with the double use.
also, its called a falsetto.
@@demonspykz6613 do you just like feeling better than everyone else?
@@howlinghellgar2214 dont bother with them. Scrolled through the comments and they're hating on everyone
@@somewherenothere3604 Thanks for letting me know. I often wonder why assholes on the Internet exist, but here we are
I see fireflies, I click. I see Jonathan young, i click. I see Jonathan young AND fireflies; i break screen clicking.
I unironically love this and the original song.
Also, dang Jon, that falsetto!
Me too
Likewise
same
Same
Good.That's the only logical conclusion.
This song is like after heavy showers in the morning,the sun comes out from the clouds and the sky looks magical with a plethora of colours. U are driving on a highway across a lush green valley and u play this song in your car,wearing sunglasses and having the time of your life
Yeah, that’s a good way to put it
@@maxwilson7001 I have a pretty decent imagination
To be honest, for me the best part in this cover was the end - when there was just your voice, without all the effects and editing. I love how you sound just like that and the special effects just hide your true, lovely voice.
As an Owl City fan that likes metal, I'm crying tears of joy right now
Same here. I am barely stopping myself from it.
We can only look at those days and learn from them.
Same!!! 🙌✨
Same
Love your comment owl city my top fave band also and fireflies is my top fave song
Strangely metallic tears, odd that.
Nostalgia of the early 2010s and when CZcams was fun 🥺
Ah yes, those were the times
Heard this when we were stuck traffic
A landscape of memes I didn't have access to because my family only had one internet ready computer and barely got off of dial up.
I don't like early 2010s described in that, makes me feel old.
2010...... gosh It seems like an Actual lifetime ago now. Like it was an entirely different era or something and not just a mere 10 years. Lol back when i had unlimited faith in the World 😝 ohh how things change
This dudes voice is freaking unreal, like wow.
It's crazy how good this is. His voice is already so uniquely amazing, the cover didn't need to be this good but the mad lad did it anyway.
bro said delicious LMFAOO
I love how clean your switch to falsetto is.
For real, that instant transition and the pure smoothness is amazing.
Ah memories of my own voice...(SERIOUSLY out of practice)
His voice when he does the "I'd like to make myself believe..." bit..
Holy Shit.
You mean the completely altered voice with a computer program? Yeah. It does sound cool though
@@opdgrow4life "Completely altered"
Slightly altered. Very slightly. It's still his actual voice, and it's not the digital aftereffect that I care about.
@@opdgrow4life Salty.
Damn right holyshit!
Is almost like the singer done ffdo
So, I just wanted to share this story: back when I was a kid my dad was a vocalist for a band, so I grew up listening to him sing all the times. one of the songs they covered was fireflies, hearing the end I realized how much you sound like him when you sing.
Man that was incredible. That falsetto in the chorus....
No matter how hard you try, John, you can’t ignore our cries for sabaton!
SABATON! SABATON! SABATON!
Or DragonForce!
@@themichaelconnor42 Sabaton first
To the gates of hell...
As we make our way to heaven....
@@pheonix_soldier nah man, it’s all about them Swedish Pagens.
You would not believe your eyes, if Jonathon posted a new video.
@@averagecalisthenicsguy1504 bruh
I sometimes forget just how much range he has
You + Owl City = magic. Dear lord, please tell me you'll do "Strawberry Avalanche" too. Or absolutely any Owl City song.
Gave me chills. QVQ
I'd love to see a rock/metal verison of "Lucid Dream" or "Be Brave" (which is already a bit rocky to begin with). Or bring Caleb on to duet "Dementia".
Shooting Star would be interesting to hear. Or any other song from that album because Adam himself yelled a lot in it XD
i was going to like this comment.
until i saw 'QVQ'
then i cringed and missclicked dislike. i cant be bothered changing it
@@demonspykz6613 And yet you can be bothered to type a whole comment about it? Your lazy meter is weird, sir.
Thank goodness he’s back ... the last few covers it looked like the Internet broke him
Honestly he still looks pretty pained. But it definitely doesn’t seem as pained as he was for the cover of Barbie girl.
@@skeletonwarrior9393 he looks like he’s getting back to being comfortable
What happened to him?
@@thepolticalone961 look up dancing queen and barbie girl by jonathan young. the internet broke him.
He seemed pretty comfortable for Jacks Lament....certainly not afraid of the camera anyway.
Real question, are you happy with these songs? Ever since lonely town i worry that you dont get to do things you love
i've been buying myself time with these covers to work on 2 huge projects of all-original songs, coming soon
@@jonathanymusic Damn, between this and Caleb's announcement, it seems Christmas is coming early this year. Can't wait to hear them.
@@jonathanymusic in your barbie girl cover you kind of seemed depressive. But the mood you show in this video makes me feel like you are getting better
@@jonathanymusic do... Do these covers bring you no joy?
@@jonathanymusic Yay! I love your Originals ! Take Care Of Yourself and Happy Holidays Mr Young :)
I just have to say I love that transition from gravel to high notes. As a tenor I must say it's gorgeous.
0:42
Me: *clicks timestamp*
Me: Oh, I’m gay now. Huh.
O.O me though
Jon is one of the few exceptions of simping for in this world, and im ok with that.
@@ohgon4355 your name OoOoOo gONn auHAUh
@@ohgon4355 OooooOOOOooOOoOoOOoo GOooOOoon
The gay turning time stamp, infamous of causing many faulty relationships after the guy presses it and doesn’t like his gf
I swear to god this man has one of the sexiest voices in the galaxy
CHANGE MY MIND?
Corpse husband: am I a joke to you?
i take metal JY, and raise you corpse husband and jason momoa speaking fluent spanish
Corpse husband reminds me of asmr Markiplier, still has a cool voice
Why?
I agree, especially with this song
Asmr:am I a joke to u
Thanks a lot for the nostalgia...
Mr Young you have some incredible vocal control and continue to be a joy to listen to!
'Mr Young', im cringing.
@@demonspykz6613 damn i see you hating everywhere must be pretty sad huh
Holy Crap your falsetto IS SO GOOD! I know that it isn't your thing cause you do a lot of mettle covers (and rightly so your voice is THE BOMB) but it would be SUPER COOL to hear more of that SILKY SMOOTH falsetto you have!
BRO SAID METTLE AND SILKY SMOOTH LOOOOOL WTF IS WITH UR CAPITAL LETTER ENTHUSIAM BRO
Man the production level on your vocals is really something else, especially when paired with those singing skills.
I mean, 1:30 😌👌🏾
The arranger also managed to use an infernally low tuning on guitars, but still sounds very uplifting and positive.
Love it when music tries to bring light by using darkness that way, or the reverse!
Hi alex
ALEX! WHOA!
And now I suddenly want to see a collaboration between you and Jonathan. Please, both of you, I beg of you, make it happen!
I'll get you all the bars in all the universe!
was lee albright his gutairist the producer
Ayyyyyye I know you!! Ily Alex
Been seeing a whole lot more of Mr. Moukala lately, and it's nice.
The low, softer parts are actually my favorites out of this. Jonathan's voice has such a remarkable resonance when he hits those notes, it's enchanting.
Same I love it..🥰😌
youre definitely some american year 6 that just learnt the word 'enchanting'
Talk a blast to the past. It's what I listened to when I was 14 years. Now, at 25, I'm a full metalhead. The nostalgia is a thing so much worth it.
Dude that falsetto transition is so smooth. Gave me friggin chills man. Solid Stuff!
I’d rather watch this than fall asleep
You would not believe your eyes
If Jonathan uploaded tonight
Right as I was about to fall asleep
~While that’s true, for me, it’s the afternoooon~
this song has always been in my heart ever since I was small child. It was the first song I was obsessed with it, me and my twin used to dance to it.
Now i'm older, I've developed a love for metal, so this cover means so much to me.
Like it's come full circle.
Man... This song takes me back to when I was care free and stress free. I am a junior this year and preparing for college in two years. Thank you for making this cover it was what I needed to get mind off things both in my school and personal life. You are amazing and I hope you keep doing what your doing. Again thank you for the trip down memory line.
nobody asked or cares.
This is Epic. I'm crying while crying
Honestly I'm listening to this in my car and im trying not to cry cuz my dad is driving rn
@@malicethemighty7560 what a chad
Oh thank goodness I'm not alone in crying over this, I'm not sure why it's striking me so hard
Me: has fireflies on my sleep playlist
Also me: puts this on my its time to rock out and get things done while staying up late playlists
Fell asleep to this last night, woke up and put it back on loop
@@kimarna I can back that, this is fire
Man I love this cover dont get me wrong, but it's so obvious how much more enthusiastic he is about the music visually when he's getting a chance to do his own music. We love you man! You keep doing what makes you happy man, we will all be here to bask in your glorious voice.
Currently immersed in this, max volume on repeat. Can't get enough of the instrumentals and THAT VOICE 🤤
Oh my god... he's done it, he actually did it 😭
I'd have never thought a metal cover of this song would work that well but here we are !
This version is both delightful and oddly cursed. I love it
(1:30) duuuuuude, that caught me off guard, that was very good.
Supernatural has ended, so how about giving us some Carry on Wayward Son by Kansas?
That would be really cool to see
might be cool to see
agreed!!
Hey guys, guess what.
m.czcams.com/video/JmNpoxEHR94/video.html
He did it, he covered it, after just a week.
Nice job, all of you
@@larsnyman2455 Yeah I woke up to see that in my notifications. I almost screamed lol. I really wasn't expecting him to do it, at least not this soon.
Every note sits, quality over quality ...
A mega sound!
More is not possible 🎤🎵
the range your voice has in notes and texture and the mastery you have over it - goosebump inducing.
I've seen owl city live sing this and now I wanna see you sing it live #perfection and can we talk about his high pitch voice 😲
I think you should cover "The Show Must Go On" by Queen, I think it would make a great cover :)
OMG that would be epic!
OMG YESSSSS Or just ANY Queen song, they'd kill it together
Covering queen, especially that particular song, is pretty risky
the only valid comment ive read here in the past hour
I felt totally devoid of energy andkinda sad today... I also had nothing to do and so I was just lying down and wondering what to do.
Then I looked into my YT feed and found this gem... I love it and now gonna clean the kitchen. I know it does not sound as much, but believe me, when you are totally worn down, it is pretty hard to cheer you up and fill you with energy to become actually productive. Love this cover. Once again a wonderful cover! Keep up the work Jonathan, because I feel like you definitely deserve all the love of the internet!
If I didn't knew it for a fact that this is a cover, I'd wholeheartedly believe this is one of those deep rock songs..
A Part of me wants to forget the original one for a time 🥃❤🙌🏾
The seratonin this gives me is immeasurable. I love it!
You would not believe your moves
If ten billion metal fire grooves
Made us headbang until we fell asleep
You should do popular monster by falling in reverse!
a match made in heaven
fan true
I need falling in reverse covers now
Video Game!!
@@mariahstuchlik7353 wat😬
Okay, I love this song and the original, but I can't listen to either without crying. I suppress my emotions and songs that offer this much happiness makes them all pour out.
Those high notes are on point!
Adding this to my favourites before even listening because I know for a fact this will be an absolute banger
I literally was walking down the street and got so immersed in your voice that I didn't notice I stepped in dog poop. I'm not even mad. That's how good this song is. Love ya, man 🤩
Broooo, your voice is so epic. First time I've heard you and you have this almost opera style mixed into this and holy Eff this is amazing. Love this render of such an awesome song
The nostalgia that fills my body when i hear this, John you have brought me joy once more.
This is truly something I never thought about it but now I know I need it.
Jonathan: Okay guys, I've sung Barbie Girl and Dancing Queen, can you please suggest something normal?
"Fireflies by Owl City"
Jonathan: OH COME ON, SERIO-- wait, that's actually pretty normal...uhm...Okay.
Dude I love your voice! Very power metal! That falsetto part was absolutely fire btw!
i didnt expect the high pitch voice from him seeing as he has such a deep voice when he sings xD good job mate you rock
*Sees the video title* "How does that work?"
*Watches video* "Quite well, apparently!"
Sooo hier mal ein Deutscher Kommentar :D du hast eine unglaubliche stimme! doch was mich viel mehr beeindruckt an den Covers die du machst ist das die Übergänge zwischen den hohen und tiefen tönen schön geschmeidig sind, du gehst nicht von ganz oben nach ganz untern in unter 1 sec sondern legst 1-2 Zwischenstufen ein die das ganze weniger abgehackt gestalten so kann man richtig spaß bei der Musik haben :D
Grüße aus Deutschland
Johnathan Young makes everything sound better!! 💓🎸
fell in love with this song all over again... amazing!!!
You should do a metal cover of “What Child is This” for Christmas 🎄
Yes, we need this. TSO Is definitely within Jonathan’s wheelhouse.
Holy shit you have an incredibly smooth voice😦👏👏
As time passes, this song only becomes better.
They are my favourites from Jonathan- rather soft songs rocked up by him.
Never clicked so fast in my entire life
Same here, fam XD
Dude I almost cracked my phone the minute I saw this
@@majoratwili7312 Duude, this is like nostalgia and my jam XD Glad I'm not the only one too!
@@anidiotthatexistsbutprobab5084 Bruh 😂 My phone's already cracked but few more cracks won't hurt if it's Johnathan AND Fireflies
@@everettwatsonrazorearcwolf6553 YES
respectfully request you do a cover of "The pirates who don't do anything!" Please!!
This is the only valid JoYo request
Yes! That would be awesome!!
UPDATE: He did it. Go check it out.
When the nostalgic vibes hits you with that metal.
I absolutely love this cover and your range is incredible! It's a little treat to hear your super soft notes! I can't wait to hear your new stuff you're working on! You are so appreciated! 🥰
John! I just wanna say your voice is so distinct and unique, your one of the only youtubers I feel I could one day hear on radio, with your own label
As a soon to be youtuber/music producer I am absolutely dumbfounded by how gorgeous this sounds... I don't normally get emotional when listening to music but this is an exception
absolutely 'founded' dumb too.
its exception not acception.
also, because its a vowal, its an. not a. please go to school.
@@demonspykz6613 why are you replying to a year old comment? Do you not have something better to do?
Holy. . .that guitar works for this.. .
This song has always been a favorite of mine. This is beautiful
From Camp Rock 2 the song "Heart and Soul"
Me: learns about Fireflies and Owl city and likes it.
Jonathan: Does a cover on that song.
Me: * happy noises *
Searched for a Fireflies cover, saw Jonathan Young so immediately clicked. Half way through notice it's only 6 hours old and smile more, like the universe telling me to come watch this awesomeness
Your falsetto in the later chorus reprises is ON POINT!!!!! Gave me chills, my dude. Such a great-quality cover! This song means a lot to me, too; Owl City's Ocean Eyes album got me through some hard years in college, especially Fireflies, and it does my heart good to hear it done in such a unique and beautiful style! 💜 Thank you for making me smile.
You've been covering my fav songs recently.! The smile was on my face when I saw the title was undescribable. 😍😍 LOVE THIS!
he must be watching you.
It is incredible please do more
Can we just appreciate how well he can sing bass, great cover my guy!!!
Youre music lights up my day every time you upload. Whether its a song I usually listen to or not, your voice is just one of my favorites. Please release more originals, I love your style!
Excuse me while I proceed to headbang to this nostalgia filled gem.
I almost ignored this cover, before the thought of "how??" overpowered my curiousity.
Never thought I would see the day that this song would get a Metal cover... But I'm glad it did.
This is one of my favorite covers you've done TBF. Certainly powerful! Great job!
I'd love to hear this guy cover "Bother" by Stone Sour. It's pretty melancholic but still one of my absolute favourites, and the fact that Corey Taylor so rarely does such low-key tracks like that makes it all the better.
Wow, you have grown so much. Amazing cover and I hope to see more originals from you.
As soon as I saw this title I was able to almost perfectly imagine how this was gonna sound. This song just seems so naturally translatable to a metal cover in your style.
Absolutely incredible
