Port Blue - Sunset Cruiser (Mr. Chen, Sailmaker)

[darturo454]

what does the "(Mr.Chen, Sailmaker)" mean?

[StrawberryPhanGirl]

@darturo454 I don't know about Mr. Chen, but this album was inspired by Airborn by Kenneth Oppel. It took place in a world where they traveled with massive airships that are powered by hydrium, a fictional gas lighter than helium. Sailmakers are the people who make the sails to cover the airships, and often make repairs while it flies. Matt, the protagonist, longs to be a sailmaker like his father. I read the book years ago - it's extremely interesting, you should check it out.

[shekoskizigerz]

try to drink a coffee at night in your room, alone. and listen to this song. you will feel like at the beach when the late afternoon comes, watching the sky with a beautiful sunset. perfect

[ashleysbigfans]

doesn't the original include like.. quotes from sleepless in seattle and a preacher?

[itssavvyandstuff]

@ashleysbigfans Yes, I think so.

[mallpunk182]

i prefer the original title

[marinaloveee614]

another good intrumental band is explosions in the sky, its less poppy tho. they are amazing

[PlanetaryXVagabond]

@marinaloveee614 Explosions is good, I'm not sure if I can call adams side projects poppy at all. 

[jordythellamaloverer]

I found this through Mitchell Davis. :)

[JEWHUNTER691]

Can someone please tell me of more songs like this?

[AdrienChaos]

@JEWHUNTER691 All of the Port blue music is like this. Winsor Airlift, and Unwed sailor are my personal favorites.

[Venomous9]

What are the voices actually saying? Is it just gibberish?

[saltwaterloveee]

@Venomous9 It's not necessarily gibberish (he might've messed with the sound, i dont know), but they're not meant to deciphered. On the cd Adam lists several places from which he took field recordings, and it could be from any one of these: Hospital Lounge, City Ambience, or Restaurant Dining Room. I'm leaning towards the third simply because it sounds like a loud jumble of voices :)

[Venomous9]

@saltwaterloveee Ah, that makes perfect sense. Thank you. Is it the same with the other songs with jumbled voices in the background then?

[saltwaterloveee]

@Venomous9 you're welcome :) and yeah pretty much.

[bloodninja72]

@saltwaterloveee the cd said this? how did you get the cd if you dont mind me asking?

[saltwaterloveee]

@bloodninja72 i don't, sorry. and i bought the cd from cdbaby.com. his port blue myspace directed me there.

[thepoodlefish01]

[12lacy34]

Waow, I finnally found this song, I heard it in a livelavalive video, and couldent find it, so glad i did! n_n

[chhlooeee]

i loove this song, but the end where the guy preaches reeeally creeps me out

[MyHazelEyes101]

This is a little strange, but okay? I still love it! :)

[philly54321]

this song is so beautiful. I can't help but bop my head to this song-the beat is so cool, the piano is soothing, and it all fits together perfectly. Go Adam Young!

[turtleonmonday]

basically my favorite song. ever. noone else i know likes it. but its the best <3

[LyfeDenied]

Talent has reached another level. All other musicians need to up their game to get as good as this

[happyfeet794]

i thought saltwater room was calming!!

[Benlikesgirls]

the beat is a little like the saltwater room.

[alpha1871]

A beautiful song.



[emmaocampo]

i just can say <3

[1NotEvenFunny1]

@Ryan5462a Why isn't the speech in this version of the song?

[Ryan5462a]

@1NotEvenFunny1 not sure this isn't my video

[saltwaterloveee]

@1NotEvenFunny1 Adam's first demo of this included the preaching at the end, but when he mastered it for The Airship it was taken out, and the song given a new name.

[1NotEvenFunny1]

@saltwaterloveee I downloaded this album and mine is called Mr. Chen Sailmaker and it has the preaching. Do you have any idea the origin of the sermon?

[saltwaterloveee]

@1NotEvenFunny1 Sorry I don't have a clue lol

[bloodninja72]

@saltwaterloveee do you know where i can find the demo version of these songs?

[Fiischstab]

So beautiful!

I fell in love with this song

[itsjustlenneke]

I love this <3
