My Cover of "Fireflies" by Owl City

This is my cover of Owl City's "Fireflies" from the 2009 record: "Ocean Eyes".

Composition and lyrics originally written and performed by Adam Young.
Original song released on the label "Universal Republic".
All rights remain copyrighted property of it's owner(s).

All instruments, samples and vocals performed by Frederik Wessberg.
Production, mix & mastering done in SilverMike Studio by Frederik Wessberg.

I used Omnisphere and sample libraries for Kontakt 4 for synths/keys :-)

Good sound .. well done .. enjoying it!

The mix of the cymbals/hihats could be a bit better .. they are to upfront or occupy too much midrange. They distract me from the vocals right now.
