  • dude this is awesome this guy can play guitar i never knew how good he was

  • adam young is the source of my inspiration.............i cant understand why people think his songs are for gay people.....only people with sensitive hearts can understand his songs thnx ADAM for teaching me a new way to see life

  • @parag106 I 100% agree with everything you just said! His songs have made me notice the beauty in life and even the smallest things! :)

  • 2012 and I'm still loving this as much as ever before.

  • such a relaxing song:)

  • this is music!!

  • I really admire Adam Young. His music is so ... so innocent and pure. Every time I hear his music in the radio, I like: "Turn up the sound!"

    I admire him so freaking much!

    Maybe some haters will say: "Yeah, it's not that good." and "I really hate this." But 1 "If you hate it so much, why are you listing?" and 2 "It is THAT good!"

    Go on Adam!

  • The first time I listened to this song, 0:37 made me think someone was chatting me. I spent three minutes trying to figure out where it came from, till the song ended and I replayed it. Then I figured it out... still, I love this song.

  • its kabal (from mortal kombat)

  • @Sikaneku Thats a airplane breathing mask? wow I thought it was some sort of slapdash steampunk headgear that adam cobbled together

  • i listen to this when i am high, it sends my thoughts sailing!

  • i used to sing like that...then i took an arrow in the throat XP

  • Dear Adam Young

    May I humbly request an acoustic album?

  • its better to hear songs from sky sailing than owl city

  • why does he say 'i live alone' when he has THOUSANDS of people who would happily marry him and be with him forever. INCLUDING ME!

  • @chekkawekka101 1) He wrote this (and the whole "Sky Sailing" album) before he found fame with Owl City. He is now revisiting it.

    2) Any Owl City fan knows, when you hear a song written by Adam Young, think metophoricly. He's saying he feels out of touch, as if he's alone in life. My guess is because he hurried into adulthood too fast, and now feels empty because of all the oppurtunitys and things he missed. But I don't know, I didn't write it.

    If that comment was a joke: "Hah"

  • @CaliforniaGurl13100 thats a great way to look at the song. that just might be what he's saying

  • @owlcityresidence Why Thank you :D Maybe! Haha

  • @CaliforniaGurl13100 your welcome :)

  • This song is so sad...

  • Sky Sailing + Owl City = Infinite Awesomeness

  • Sky sailing or owl city isnt gay. Im a guy and am straight i can actually relate to this him a little be a loner and suffering from insomnia and all. Hes very inspirational (:

  • I dont live alone

    Im not 22

    I dont see some girls reflections in mirrors

    I dont think im anything like Adam Young :(

  • I thought adam young lived with his parents.....

  • I see Duluth MN Behind him :D

  • Whenever I hear the little "beep" in the first part of the song, I think that my crush just messaged me on facebook. :( I've gotta stop doing that

  • @EtceteraWorkshop LMAO I literally did the same thing than i was like :'(

  • My sister started packing her things when she found out adam lives alones

  • People say, "Owl City and Sky Sailing is emotional girlie and gay people music." Well, a message to all of those people who say that... Im a guy, straight, and i dont think i could live without Adam Young's inspiration to everyone. His music is so calming and optimistic. Every time i hear one of his songs, it gives me the chills. I love his music...

  • @musicislifee22 Amen to that, I am a huge owl city/adam young fan!!!! You rock for saying this, Adam is so insperational and I love him with all my heart!!!

  • @nolava13 Haha thanks!!! and he is very inspirational :)

  • @musicislifee22 Samee heree dude. Thx for pointing out!

  • @KeeVee19 Thanks :) and no problem! i have been a huge Owl City fan for years and all the stuff people were saying about Adam was really starting to get to me if you know what i mean.

  • @musicislifee22 I agree. by the way, I'm a chick but when I'm listening to his music I can't believe somebody can have a voice that is that beautiful. I mean his music is eye opening and life changing. If you were to meet me I would seem normal but if I let you in my head you would think I was crazy. But his music makes me sane. Also, his music has helped my friend who has anger problems. Last but not least, I have read tons of comments under his music and I can't tell you how many times he has

  • @DriftingSunlight Im glad people feel the same way i do :))) and trust me, im a little crazy as well, so you're not alone ;)

  • @musicislifee22 very well said, I'm in the same boat as you.

  • @musicislifee22 great response !!!

  • @musicislifee22 No...it is gay, what could be happier than his music?They don't ever say its homosexual though.

  • @xN30NxS0ULx i meant "gay" as in homosexual.

  • @musicislifee22 Me too! XD... His covers give me a sense of optimism and hope in life. His songs about Jesus and faith help me a lot and can be interpreted in soo many ways depending on one's life.

  • @anonymous2431 I know exactly what you mean! :D

  • @musicislifee22 me too man

    

  • @musicislifee22 To me, the guys who listen to Owl City are the best ones! ;)

    Sincerly, a female Owl City University student

  • @musicislifee22 Somebody that gets it. :)

  • @musicislifee22 In Support of your argument, I met my current girlfriend thanks to Adam Young, life could not get any better :)

  • @musicislifee22 Ur amazing! That needed to b said! haha! Btw if you didn't know, Adam Young is actually a Christian! I think that is why his music is sooo uplifting! He truly has a God given talent!

  • @USLIKEYEAH haha yeah, when i learned he was a christian, i was very happy. haha. and thanks! but im not amazing, just said what need to be said :)

  • @musicislifee22 Noticed your top comment on Sky Sailing-I Live Alone! I feel the same way about Adam's music and I hate it when people judge it in such a netagive way. It isn't just girlie music, you're so right! Adam is absolutely amazing and I think everyone should give him a chance! So thanks for posting that comment!

  • @LoreleiAKAGalaxyGirl no problem! i knew i couldnt have been the only one who felt the same way :)

  • @musicislifee22 word

  • @musicislifee22 word

    

  • @CharliiBeans im guesing that u dont remember me :'(

  • @CharliiBeans i misss u :(

  • Am I the only one who can completely relate to everything in this song?

  • @Pipster807 not alone

  • this dude has so much talents its....unreal :) ADAM YOUNG YOU ARE FUCKING AWESOME!!!

  • I love how he couples his gas mask with a suit xD He's casual and awesome at the same time, in an Airman kind of way.

  • why his voice is so calming? :D

  • He looks awesome in the gas mask :) too bad we cant see his amazing face :(

    he rocks

  • feellike in front a sweet and kind sea,with many dreams in front,thank's for this beauty!!! composing by angels for sure

  • ADAM YOUNG!! ♥

  • 5 are still living with their parents.

  • These are amazing, its like finding a whole other side to Adam. A side thats just as amazing and beautiful as the more playful Owl City

  • 5 people dont have a heart

  • Good

  • its ok Adam I'll live with you :)

  • Pre-Owl City?? No wonder. I was thinking, "Wow, this guy is such a copy cat. He sounds exactly like that guy from Owl City." Haha..

  • @makimskymartz No more confusion right? Oh, God bless you mate.

  • @DraikzTake Yep. That's why they say, "Listen more and talk less". I mean... It doesn't apply perfectly, but still, it applies.. =)

  • @makimskymartz Lol, dude... Adam Young has at least 17 other projects, not just this one and owl city... xD. xx

  • Ooh, so Owl City is also Sky Sailing? I always thought it was someone else who did songs with him.

  • boneralert

  • ...He is so cute in all the right ways xD

    Mom: Hey what are you listening to?

    Me:...I live alone...

    Mom: URG I'm still here!

  • OK EVERYONE LISTEN! that is adam young wearing an airplane mask. he trying to say he loves adventure.... which he does. if your a true owl city fan, you'll realize that! sheez!!!!!!!

  • @owlcityresidence It's an early gas mask. Do a Google image search for early gas mask.

  • @owlcityresidence IM A TRUE OWL CITY/SKY SAILING/ADAM YOUNG FAN!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE AIRPLANE MASKS!!!!!!!!

  • @owlcityresidence ( : I love Adam Young.

  • @EMIN3MSLOVENIJA who doesnt love owl city :)

  • ye its a jet pilot helmet maybe he survived the paper plane crash lol

  • @Bj0RNare It's an early gas mask. Do a Google image search for early gas mask.

  • i dont think thats a gas mask

    its a jet pilot helmet

  • I love his pictures.

  • <3

  • i dont know about you but i dont live alone.....but i like to pretend i do just so i dont dissapoint adam.......o.O

  • adam young's music should have 100m views! lady gaga does not deserve 100m views. something beautiful like this deserves it!=)

  • @ACuriousSoldier I like both gaga and adam young, They both have talent. Those two combined are litterally ALL i can listen to right now. xx

  • Favorite, song, ever. Seriously, I haven't gotten enough of this since I first heard it in March; I can listen to it over and over again. I guess it's because there's such a cute story behind this song, and I can relate to it in most ways.

    I may not actually live by myself, under a roof anyway, but for the rest of the time, I do live alone, since I've always been on a different page than everyone else.

  • It's not a gas mask, it's a pilot mask because Adam's songs are making you high :P

  • He's not wearing a gas mask. It's a mask that pilots wear when they reach really high altitudes or something. (I'm 98.99% sure of this ;D)

  • Adam Young and artistic in his own ways, Just because he chooses to use nature and object that you wouldn't normally see in a picture doesn't mean you need to dis on him

  • i thought it's Brielle..hehehe

  • This is a wonderful song! :D <3

    Heheh, all I can do is think of the Doctor Who episode, The Empty Child, when I look at Adam in that gas mask. "Are you my mummy?" XD

  • That's not a gas mask. It's an oxygen mask for pilots.

  • The music industry is incredibly rough. Many artists are going unheard. I recently started a solo project that I think some of you might really like. Most of the songs are in my channel.

  • lolz to everyone thinking its a gas mask its an oxygen mask used for pilots on fighter jets or in his case an airplane ,cuz of whats the album named after

  • Great Song

  • who stand there with a gas mask on leaning on a tree acting as if nothing happening like " o well there a small chance of a radiation leak folks so remember to wear ur masks in the parks "

  • @P3IEN Adam Young is standing there with a gas mask on, because he can.

  • @echalvorson Right on :D

  • @echalvorson and he also LOOKS FUCKING AWSOME!

  • @echalvorson I think that's actually a flight mask from a fighter jet

  • @DistantGeneration It's an early gas mask. Do a Google image search for early gas mask.

  • @echalvorson * pilots breathing equipment

  • @echalvorson and because he looks awesome doing it :)

  • @P3IEN a radiation leak won't make you need to wear a gas mask, beacause radiation isn't a gas. duh

  • @P3IEN I bet you can't pull off wearing a gas mask like Adam can. 

  • @xXOwlCityismylifeXx little do u know i smoke aloot of weed and have a gas mask of my own and i rock the shit out of it ! xD

  • @P3IEN LOOOOL <3

  • @P3IEN I believe it signifies his disgust in our pollution.

  • @P3IEN I don't think that he's wearing a gas-mask, I think that it's what fighter pilots used to wear so they could breathe when they're high in the sky. :)

  • @Swallowsinger yeh hes dressed with pilot gear

  • Creepy picture..... "Are you my mummy?" XD

  • @VampireMiw LMFAO.

  • i like how soft sky sailing's voice is compared to owl city :D ADAM ROCKS

  • This has been my favorite song for some time now. <3 I listen to it almost everyday because it's so creative and lovable. I love the lyrics, which I can relate to; 17, Wishing I lived by the sea, somewhat apathetic, can't sleep, and alone.

  • "With no connection I saw your reflection at home in my bedroom mirror. And I felt young again when I saw what we could have been in all of those years."

    My favorite lines! I love this song <3

  • wtf is that gas mask???

  • What the heck is that on his head?

  • @bffs4life2club i think its some sort of oxygen mask that pilots wear

  • If you listen to the music in my channel, I will give you bacon.

    Seriously.

  • A pilots oxygen mask. An older version though.

  • Adam :)<3 gonna be 23 on july 5th!

  • @XxStrayCatxX Actually he's turning 25. But yeah, happy birthday to him. ;) And what a great new album he's made.

  • what's on the dude's face?

  • @mackenziesun1999 I think its a gas mask

  • love u.........OMG

    

  • I'm said

  • Who the hell could dislike it?

    it's just freakin' awesome! Way to go Adam!

    Thumbs up if you think Adam should create more songs in Sky Sailing.

  • skysailing is better then owl city.Sky sailing is more laid back and doesnt have has much auto-tune. Even though thier the same personXD

  • @heyizjules skysailing and owlcity are the same this he just canged the name. and it dose not matter about the music, all that matters in that he is a good singer, better that goodhes hes an awsomb!!!!!

  • i had absoloutly no idea Adam was in a band before Owl City. i am so happy, more songs!!! <33

  • I love this band,

  • why did he stop sky sailing?? why did he start owl city???

    what was the reason??

  • I've fallen in love with this song, i must admit..<3

  • i can totally picture Adam on the cover of a magazine with that Gas mask on...

  • I'm no longer scared to death of gas masks. :) Thank you Adam!

  • it`s good ~_~ by lyka mae

  •  it`s good ~_~

  • Adam Young still looks gorgeous in a gas mask...<3

  • I've got to say...he is so amazing. I just can't get over it. wow.

  • ...........

    

  • owl city ~ sky sailing > all!

    man, how can adam young be soo fucking good?

  • love the mask, adam. :bd

  • I really love Owl City, but I am really digging how he used guitar, I think it would be really cool if he would use this sound a bit more than the really electronic stuff. But it is still all really good

  • I liked Sailboats and Brielle before . But now , I wish I disovered this song earlier

  • WOW. Is all i have to say. I loved Owl City, but now i think Owl City sucks compared to this!!!!!! Adam should go back to his acoustic stuff from Sky Sailing and piano stuff from Port Blue :)

  • @d113579 i think that they should go back to the acoustic stuff and piano too.

  • @d113579 Honestly, I think he sounds awesome either way. Though I haven't checked out Port Blue; I'll look at that.

  • @ArentWeInAPickle I agree!

    Hey, look up 'Swimming With Dolphins' too while you're at it... if you've never done it before lol

  • @abbyfanduby Will do.

  • @ArentWeInAPickle Port Blue is like an instrumental version of Owl City and it is incredible. All Adam Young's stuff is good. check out Aerial Promenade by Seagull Orchestra if you havent already. It is amazing.

  • this sounds just like the singer for death cab for cutie

  • @Camporese2

    really??? He's the singer of Owl City, Adam Young

  • This seems to have a similar tune to Brielle. OH WHO CARES. I LOVE BRIELLE.

  • its so sssssssssssssaaaaaaaaaaaaaaadd­dddddddddddddddd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
