100,000 Fireflies by The Magnetic Fields
“I was OVERWHELMED by the response to my Birthday Jam ( Ramones ) and now, I dedicate this jam to the TIMJ Faithful as a big thank you. SO, why choose this coy little tune for you? Well because,...(A) it's one of the sweetest songs I've heard where "sweet" means truly charming and NOT sickly saccharin....and (B) because "100, 000 fireflies" is my vision of everyone on TIMJ.....100,000 tiny specks of dazzling light trying hard to illuminate this sometimes-Grey world of ours. Well, it's worked for me so far............thank you all.”

"Why do we still live here / In this repulsive town? / All our friends are in New York" :)
I have a mandolin, I play it all night long It makes me want to kill myself
At a reasonable exchange rate of 1 Firefly = 10 Kisses, this jam is identical to my last jam!

If somebody forced me to evaluate my musical year of 2015 today (God knows why), I'd say that this was the best song I encountered that year
