Seagull Orchestra - Sailboats (Adam Young.)

[ykjt91]

Personally I like the sky sailing version better. The lyrics are smoother. However, I LOVE the segment at 3:13. Wish that could've been included in his sky sailing version. Anyway I love Adam and all his work, including Port Blue and Albatross.

[LeaffyStar19]

@ykjt91 i like the Sky Sailing version better to, but he was like a teenager when he recorded this... in his parents basement... <3 #love

[TeamRAKENZAN]

I'm enjoying this alot..it's so raw, just pure God-given talent, and a brilliant mind full of Movie reels that project all this vivid imagry and beauty. I'm a newly found Owl City fan, and will be one for the many years to come. and to Adam Young, May God keep you and fill your head with even more ideas still, 'till the day we meet in Heaven.

[BrandonLee722]

adam's early attempts to put lyrics to an ambient track and you can tell. still you can hear the beauty and creativity in his lyrics, even if he does struggle at parts. his sky sailing version is better, but this is raw adam young.

[musiclover4evr11]

3:14 I wish this was in the Sky Sailing version... I love it soooo much <3

[musiclover4evr11]

Underwater caves? Golf on the moon? Something is very familiar about this... sneaky Adam hee hee :)

[jadey446]

o_o OK. Im watching a bunch of Adam young's songs on here, and soooo many people are confusing me about his projects. OH WELL!

[abbyfanduby]

4:06 Golf on the moon? Sounds familiar : D

*hinthintSuperHoneymoonhinthin­t*

[AdrienChaos]

I don't think he ever ACTUALLY released it under Seagull Orchestra. I think a lot of people name these songs under that just because they assume that is what it's under.

[flameingdragon12292]

O.o this song is from sky sailing

[SatinSILHOUETTE13]

@flameingdragon12292 Yes, but this is the Seagull Orchestra version, and I think it's the original.

[SuperZelda1999]

im an owl citizen

[justinXalex]

:( I Hate people that know nothing about adam

[Nikk2pointOh]

this isn't 'seagull orchestra'

it's Sky Sailing.

[Misslifegoeson]

@Nikk2pointOh This song was first done by Seagull Orchestra but then Adam revised it and put it in his Sky Sailing album. If you listen to the Sky Sailing version you can tell there's a big difference in the lyrics and sound.

[ikthusful]

@Nikk2pointOh it is seagull orchestra...  he just made another version in sky sailing

[Misslifegoeson]

His voice is so calming that I listen to him every night before bed.

[thebiggestowlcityfan]

*MWAH*

big, sloppy kisses for adam-y young-y :)

[PrincessBudenskya]

3:13

The album version is missing this, and it's one of my favorite parts! =( Oh well, it's still lovely, and I can still come back to this one.

This is my favorite lullaby.

[unluckyvevo]

one of the best songs in the world Justin bieber cant beat him forever

[screamingsocks]

@unluckyvevo Justin Bieber can't beat him at all. But enough about the Beaver. Adam young is amazing, and this should be about him. (:

[charmed1219]

@naruto3343

dont. :D why put yourself under so much pressure

luv both, i have so many 2 versions songs on my ipod :P cuz i didnt want to choose and leave another behind :)

[mermaidofdaytona]

His vocals are so quiet, it feels like he's whispering to you...

[PrincessBudenskya]

@mermaidofdaytona I know, don't you love it?

[LeaffyStar19]

omigosh! i luv:3 0.o this is my favorite song off the Sky Sailing ablum, and it's great to finally hear the original! brings a large smile to my face:3

[tonyf5387]

i cant find this song as a mp3 anywhere =(

[pkaurastorm]

Sky Sailing FTW!

[KARLTEGREIN]

OWLSOME :D

[pkaurastorm]

@KARLTEGREIN

my new word!

[Iamuurme140]

There's actually a link to Seagull Orchestra's myspace on Owl City's myspace.. So yes, this is by Adam Young to however said it isn't. :)

[d0minique08]

i love the re-make of this song by adam. sky sailing album!

[IrisElizabethWeller]

If adam young would be part of my life, my whole life would be complete.

[DLPLonny]

3:00 The boobs get lonely in the night?

[sab101]

@DLPLonny i think they're a type of bird. bluefooted boobies?

[ipoutine]

@DLPLonny no he did not say that for real.

Maybe technical problem.

[muumimees123]

@DLPLonny maybe lol :D

[UnrelatedTwins]

@DLPLonny Boats....not boobs.

[Cinemaniac96]

okay, the lyrics are a little different, and it's slower.So it's a little different.

BUT IT'S STILL THE SAME SONG

[PinkStrawberry6790]

this is so beautiful <333

i only wish i could write songs like him ♥

[polarbear221]

This is one of his first songs he released almost the same song under Sky Sailing

[HushPuppy119]

To all the people who think this is Sky Sailing!!!!! There are TWO versions of this song! This is Seagull Orchestra (it was released first and I like it better) the Sky Sailing one is DIFFERENT!!!!! If you don't believe me go to Seagull Orchestras Myspace!!!! Gosh people!!!! This is the one released FIRST!!!!!

[oberst1989]

whoaaa this is unrealll

[DandyAndyy4]

This is Sky Sailing. Not Seagull Orchestra

[YourCheckeredLove]

Wow he sounds so much younger. This is before he got really good with his auto tune and other vocal software. I'm going to do a cover of this soon and hope that mine compare.

[superknightHCHS]

the part at 3:12 isnt in the new one :(

[ColorfulClosure]

@superknightHCHS wow your right.. i didnt even notice.. I am ashamed of myself.

[amaranth00]

It's not really sky sailing. This is the original version, which Adam used in sky sailing.

[JeremyIsMyLove]

It's sky sailing

[DieFroschkekse]

@JeremyIsMyLove Nono, it isn't. Seagull Orchestra was there before Sky Sailing. Adam just put it on the Album, cos it's too wonderful.

[JohnnyDeSimone93]

@DieFroschkekse i asked him, he wrote it for sky sailing

[LittleSneakyMouse]

@JeremyIsMyLove This is the older version!!

[JohnnyDeSimone93]

this isnt seagull orchestra, isnt it sky sailing?

[mackfriends]

@JohnnyDeSimone93 Its Adam Young.

[JohnnyDeSimone93]

@mackfriends which is sky sailing....

[MrMongoose3]

@JohnnyDeSimone93 it was one of his many projects before owl city, it wasnt called sky sailing back then he just re released a bunch of his old shit under that name

[LittleSneakyMouse]

@JohnnyDeSimone93 Well, it can be both. The first version was Seagull Orchestra. The second was Sky Sailing. 

[JohnnyDeSimone93]

@LittleSneakyMouse dont forget the third version was for sky sailing as well :)

[LittleSneakyMouse]

@JohnnyDeSimone93 Hmmm... a third version?! :O

[JohnnyDeSimone93]

@LittleSneakyMouse the version you hear isnt the version on the new CD he has out... he redid vocals and piano for it

[JohnnyDeSimone93]

@LittleSneakyMouse this isnt the same version thats on the CD, he redid the vocals and the piano.

[LittleSneakyMouse]

@JohnnyDeSimone93 I know, but this is the Seagull Orchestra version :P

[xSuchTheBestx]

@wuddafuxupp I agree with you wholeheartedly :]

[wudafuxupp]

I honestly think, i am in love with Adam Young. and i dont even know him. like. its bad.

[premedical10]

I thought this version was better than the Sky Sailing version but that's just me.

P.S. I'm listening to Sky Sailing right now and it's not that bad. It's not as good as Of June but it's not awful.

[morgannohplease]

Oh my god. I am in love with him.

[WatercolorMush]

I can't wait to hear the Sky Sailing version, but this is a lovely version as well. :)

[CryingCheese]

Ah, anything Adam Young sings turns to magic!

[teamedwardrocks18]

Yes, no one can deny this is Adam <3

[missJazzyjazzy]

This is not seagull orchestra its sky sailing seagull orchestra has no lyrics

[PrincessBudenskya]

@missJazzyjazzy mm it's on Seagull Orchestra's MySpace page.

[tonyf5387]

is this actually adam young it really does sound like him and if it is i wanna find all the music by this band

[PrincessBudenskya]

@tonyf5387 you can find it on Myspace.

[MrMongoose3]

holy shit. his next album is called "an airplane carried me to bed"

hes re-recording a lot of his old shit

this is gonna be on it

oh my god.

[PrincessBudenskya]

@MrMongoose3 yup I preordered it. ^_^ gaah but I must wait until July 13th til I get it!

[x3CoLoRs]

thumbs up if you agree what a heartfelt genius adam young is <3

[3MoGurLz1]

hes my inspiration hes evrything to me in the music world....and, sadly, fame is getting to him:(...i wish he knew that.......i hope that i could meet him someday...id cry because hes simply amazing:)

[fillecherie12]

eeeppp..im so glad he did this..it just proves that he has a beautiful and simple voice..nuff said:)

[mleonetti1991]

@fillecherie12 yeah i know it doesn't sound like he uses autotune in this version.......not much difference........kind of separates him from the wannabe singers whose voices are always autotuned

[NoNficTioN2k7]

Adam is my hero.

[perchperkinz]

@SugoiAlchemist That's good. I'd hate to not hear what he's singing. XD

[perchperkinz]

Not that I don't hear the magical Adam Young-esque quality... But I can't really hear what it is he's singing.... Is that intentional? :|

[SugoiAlchemist]

@perchperkinz It's just the quality this has been posted in actually, the high quality version is very clear and you can hear every word he sings.

[MeteorShower97]

:] Fell in love immediately with Owl City, fell in love just the same with this and Port Blue. <33

[Edith002]

This song is pure magic :)

[ZusammenhangslosLive]

Adam took a big package of happiness in this. It' soo wonderful, I loove his voice in this, especially at the beginning x3

[falconfire29]

@Molly5060 join the club...

[FrenchFlute]

Amazing!

So soothing!

But the best thing about it is only 6,032 view =)

Unlike Adam's Owl City songs, were there is like 20 million people, only a few people know Seagull Orchestra and I hope it stays like that.

I will be very disappointed if I ever hear this on the radio.

[NyaanKun]

@FrenchFlute why would you be dissapointed if it was on the radio?

I agree sometimes a ton of fans isn't the best for an artist. but that doesn't change the quality or sound of the song.

Enjoy it for what it is.

Beautiful.

[PrincessBudenskya]

The lyrics to this are like a blend of all Owl City songs. I love how smooth his voice is- it adds to the dreaminess of this song. I mean really, it's like it was made for lullabies- which is essentially what all his songs are. ^_^ But I must admit I laughed when the clarinet came in- it just doesn't fit! "I love you Audrey Hepburn . . ." XD LOL that was so funny I couldn't contain myself- my poor roommate must've thought i was having a seizure, but she's used to this from me by now.

[TommaaOE]

Adam Young is Owl City yeah.. but his side projects include Windsor Airlift, Port Blue, Insect Airport, Swimming With Dolphins and apparently he's starting a new project called Goodbye Dubai this year.

[allizorjonas]

WAIT IM CONFUSSED!!

so this is a side project from owl city!?!?

but owl city IS adam young!!

[DieFroschkekse]

@allizorjonas no, owl city isn't only adam young, but he's most popular an Seagull Orchestra is a side project altough he isn't listed on the myspace page. just listen to their songs the style they're compodes... you cant find Adams Handwritig there. Listen to "Aerial Promenade". Some parts it sonds exactly like "On The Wing" and "Aerial Promenade ist older I'd say, so it MUST be Adam's side project... :)

[iminvisableful]

i hate when people like owl city because of fireflies. im not saying people cant like owl city because of that, but its just annoying to me.

[DieFroschkekse]

Light blue

Original awsome

loVe

Extraordinary

This is great

Happy

Inventive

Supertruper

[captain0blivious]

I am ARGUING

[ajay0813]

[Cuteiswhatiaim4dude]

adam young is so amazing:) this song is beautiful

[SMILEYFACE981]

wow this song is beutiful i was crying!!!

[Urlittlebabi]

where are the lyrics to this....i need them :\

[katie123222]

There is only one word to sum this up- amazing.

[awesomtasticful]

its weird how his voice is so different without all the autotune, synth etc. so natural <3

[7abbieg]

yea who is adam young

[asachie88]

@7abbieg

you dont know who adam young is?

wow, i didnt know who owlcity was 'til i herd fireflies, im glad i know them now!

:)

[SMILEYFACE981]

adam young is owl city and dont worry until i heard the song west coast friendship i didnt know who he was!

[comedychunks]

IT OBAMA I KNOW IT

[comedychunks]

WHO is adam young

[greenlovergirl]

>_> you would never know.

[SuperDuperGir]

OWL CITY!

[rachelgregory13]

owl city,you know the son fireflies,he wrote that song,and this one too.

[greenlovergirl]

The first time I heard it, I thought it was another band, but then I focused on the voice and it sounded like Adam. Then I learned it was him :) lol

<33 I love this song. Makes me calm....

[Befany2009]

what album is this on? such a beautiful song! please help!

[xXHeLLoKiTTy3506Xx]

boy ive known this song for awhile......love it....its heaven, his music. its almost seems impossible for such music to be made. so dreamy.....liifeless.....makes yew want to fall asleep.....im floating.......v_v

[xfinalxfantasyx478]

this is my new favorite, his songs are so well thought of, it's crazy.

[demiselenaalways]

@xfinalxfantasyx478 Well put.

[z0ealexa]

This song is so beautiful

[effrumman]

Adam sang in this song. Seagull orchestra is a lot of people not just him.

[CautionItsLindseyy]

I died.

And went to heaven.

where Adam Young's voice serenades me.

ahh! <3<3

[TheZimboy]

i guess so...

i could just leav but than i'd be home

i could just die but than i'd be alone

[demiselenaalways]

@CautionItsLindseyy Well put.

[MandiTheDog]

@CautionItsLindseyy I'm a straight dude and yet I couldn't agree more.

[blgprincess]

@CautionItsLindseyy OMG you're so right!!!!!

[tjitslovesmonk]

i don't know what it means but its a nice song!

i can't very good speak english..

i wish i could!

xx

[TheZimboy]

from what i gather its about how beutifle the world is.

[sloberylittlegirl09]

haha maybe he made this side project because he knew all the posers would be like 'OMG firflies is amazing!! " which it is.. but maybe he made it for people who have liked him wayy before radio!! :)

[TypicalEnglish]

nahh he made it aaaaaages ago and the band members don't even include him technically, he also did insect airport, port blue and windsor airlift.

[jimmyjim111]

Of course this is Adam. Everyone who knows his voice would know straight away this is his music. And no his name is not on the Myspace page, but there is no name of any singer on there. Prehaps he did not want to disclose to people that this was part of his music?

Beautiful song, anyway.

[CautionItsLindseyy]

exactly!

Which is good, it lets Owl City fans enjoy Adam Young in a new way.

[MagicalCardDude]

I don't think that is Adam young, if you go to Seguall Orchetra's myspace and in their blog it says it is by someone else... heh.

[HonestlyAsian]

Seagull Orchestra is Adam Young. It's another one of his side projects.

[MagicalCardDude]

Does it say adam young on the Seagull Orchestra myspace?

Not really? And I quote this... " "Sailboats" is a new song we've just recorded with Gage Bradford and Allison Hyland of Kasumi Mai. This song will not appear on our new record, "The Floating Observatory" but may be on an upcoming EP. Thank you so very much."

So yeah. Just the facts.

[HonestlyAsian]

Notice I said SIDE project. Also, just because it says recorded with Gage Bradford and Allison Hyland, doesn't mean Adam wasn't included. Seagull Orchestra is very closely related to his other side projects. Therefore, we can make the inference that he's involved with Seagull Orchestra.

[MagicalCardDude]

Well they have to give him some credit if he was invovled in it. I mean that is like take his stuff for granted. And besides there is no more seagull orchestra, I think the band quit or something.

[HonestlyAsian]

Well, I hope you realized that Seagull Orchestra has a couple of Adam Young's side projects on their top. Which is why we can conclude he is involved with Seagull Orchestra.

[Shepsterof92]

True..... BUT. Does this NOT sound like him?? Owl City sounds different because it has much more technological sounds! Hah, but I wouldn't know...

The good news is: You and I both love this song right? So does it matter that much? :}

[MagicalCardDude]

Haha yeah I love this song, I wish I can find more like it. :)

[Shepsterof92]

I knooww!! So good!!

[strawberry606c]

LOVE HIM!!! The best singer i have ever heard!!!

[MsAnnaKK]

ah he is AMAZING!!!!! i saw him live.....wow so awesome

[SailorD134]

nice, but his voice is very hard to hear. And, that intro, I know it, its also a very common intro, but I don´t know another song with this intro.

[iamonlykristin]

I love Adam Young's music so much! I don't know how you find all of this stuff, but this is amazing. I love it! (:
