Also they put “Fireflies” on rotation at the grocery store where I work and if (1) I wasn’t already familiar with the song and (2) I didn’t listen to the lyrics I would absolutely 100% think it was explicitly Christian music about the redeeming power of Jesus. Actually even if you do listen to the lyrics I’m not sure it isn’t that

I’m not saying this like it’s news because look that’s just where Owl City is at but like… damn we really went in for that in 2008 huh. Like that song was omnipresent and I feel like this was just never commented on at the time

Yeah that late-2000s commercial-twee thing was kinda Christian-adjacent, huh? Eisley literally started as the house band of a church coffeeshop.
