Dieser Song ist wirklich super, das Lied von den Glühwürmchen, die in der Nacht - im Traum - erscheinen. Und so haben sich die Glühwürmchen auch gleich mal zum "Ohrwürmchen", oder besser gesagt zu einem riesigen Ohrwurm, entwickelt.
:-)
Sehr schöne, eingängige Synthesizer-Musik im Zusammenspiel mit einem überaus liebenswerten Text:
"You would not believe your eyes
if ten million fireflies lit up the world as I fell asleep
'cause they fill the open air and leave teardrops everywhere.
You'd think me rude but I would just stand - and stare.
Chorus:
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 sockhop beneath my bed.
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread.
Repeat chorus:
I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly...
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 my 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" (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 (jar, jar, jar).
Repeat chorus (two times):
I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly...
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."

Fazit: Ein wirklich wunderschöner Song, fünf Sterne!
