Thought it was The Postal Service for a second when I first heard it.

Indeed. Their sounds are very similar, and Adam Young (the guy in the video) has even stated that their sounds are similar...

[The Postal Service] released a record in 2003, and that was it. There was really nothing to compare it to until some one else came along and wrote the next chapter. Maybe that's this record. Maybe that's this band.

I'll grant that the type of music that this is doesn't really have a radio station (in this area) where it fits the format well...

I wonder if they open for ICP? After all, fireflies are miracles.

[Darth Biscuit]

My wife loves this song... it should tell you something.

Fuggen fireflies!! How do they work?

One of the worst songs I've ever heard.

Maybe this song hits close to home for some of y'all? The song has been described, by its writer, as "a little song about bugs and not being able to fall asleep at night," though the fireflies in the song's title also serve as an allegory for the lost imagination and wonder in adulthood.

Postal Service, Owl City, Death cab for Cutie.... all the same.

"Fireflies" - Winner of the most overplayed radio song in 2009.

I thought it was catchy also when I first heard it but then when it got to the point where you couldn't turn on the radio without hearing it or go on the interent without some teenager playing their rendition of it and at that point I felt that it needed to be destroyed. Even my 5 year old duaghter would ask for it to be turned off because she said it was a song for babies.
