[Damionash7]

thumbs up if you would like this song to be played at your wedding.

[MrsEmzB]

I love this song. <3

[LushiTheory]

I think about 5,000 of the views are from me <3

[24thowletzone2nd]

i may know all Owl City songs..but gosh...not..not..Adam Young..

[essentialhelen]

i want a boyfriend with his voice.

[Jasper94868]

@essentialhelen me too :)

[EminentIsland2011]

,.,rebuke me adam,.,., your the best!!!!!

[EminentIsland2011]

this song is so endangered,., i love it.,.,., adam young is the modern shakespeare

[RFW26]

Just can say, i love you adam!

[riceballuver4ever]

...this sailboats by sky sailing (yes, i know they are the same person, im not stupid) just altered? what?

[seasonalwebkinz]

@riceballuver4ever This one came first I believe; the version was edited a bit for the Sky Sailing album. I could be totally wrong though ^^

[riceballuver4ever]

@seasonalwebkinz ohhh...wow. that would make alot of sense. thanks~

[owlsinfall]

where can you download seagull orchestra (legally)?

[StarShootex]

@owlsinfall I'm not sure you can anymore. Adam moved on from this Seagull Orchestra project. Since he is now Owl City, he won't be doing any songs on Seagull Orchestra.

[iiKittehh]

I was disappointed that he redid this song... I love it this way.

[RazerTheTechDragon]

If I die, I want to die to this song.

[emmepemme95]

lol, this is featured on the sky sailing album o__o my fav song on there <3

[Arranzee]

So many 14 year olds!!!!!

[TheGennRocknell]

i use this song to sleep. thanks adam for helping me sleep in peace again.

[JustWatchinStufff]

I think Adam Young has an affinity to water, 'Port Blue', 'Sky Sailing', 'Seagull Orchestra'.. His music is so soothing, gentle and inspiring, just like a calm ocean ^_^

[Jasper94868]

ive noticed how owl city has got a bunch of new great songs that arent even in an album

[trumpetzmainia]

@Jasper94868 Thats cuz these arent new songs... Sky Sailing was a project he did before owl city

[Kadriification]

@Jasper94868 By owl city i presume you mean Adam young...

[Boxrag]

@Jasper94868 That's because this isn't Owl City... It is Adam Young, however.

[BrandonLee722]

@Jasper94868 this song is from like 2008 lol

[wollyscarf]

This can't be an official song cause ive never heard this and im a big owl city fan!

[TiffanyTeddyTune44]

@wollyscarf this isnt exactly Owl City, This is an older side project :) Andd I am also a Hoot Owl, right along with you :)

[Kadriification]

@wollyscarf Owl city fan, maybe ... Adam young fan ... Your getting there!

[05clairbear]

@wollyscarf not big enough if you dont know about his side projects haha 

[PearlsofLife3]

so is this an earlier version of the song? cause the lyrics quite different. either way i love it. i love both songs. just wondering how can i get this version? plz plz, tell me how i can get this version!

i can't stop listening to this! <3 this is possibly one of my favorite songs by Adam Young! his other projects besides Owl City are also amazing and more people should know about them. also does anyone have the lyrics to this song? i would appreciate it if someone send them to me.

[Lisa99913]

Amazing. :) there are no describing words good enough to even do Adam Young justice. Well I can think of one : BEAUTIFUL!!!!

[8BitVentus]

I really wanna be a pirate now ^.^

[allisonxnosilla]

sky sailing <3

[IdiotWithTheBlueEyes]

@allisonxnosilla The awkward moment when it's actually the Seagull Orchestra version.

[allisonxnosilla]

@IdiotWithTheBlueEyes that awkward moment when I meant it's on 'an airplane carried me to bed'

[IdiotWithTheBlueEyes]

@allisonxnosilla That awkward moment when the Seagull Orchestra album with Sailboats on was actually called The Floating Observatory.

[allisonxnosilla]

@IdiotWithTheBlueEyes What? No. I'm talking about the Sky Sailing album. Hence the Sky Sailing comment.

[IdiotWithTheBlueEyes]

@allisonxnosilla Yes, and this song is by Seagull Orchestra and was on the album The Floating Observatory. This is not by Sky Sailing. (It's obviously still by Adam Young, but they are different projects of his.)

[allisonxnosilla]

@IdiotWithTheBlueEyes right, we're on the same page here. two projects, two albums, two versions.

[iiKittehh]

@allisonxnosilla The Seagull Orchestra one came first, though.

[rosebushbandit]

how bout 15 and listening to this(no thumbs up) yeah i just finding out about swimming with the dolphins(then i found this) i know OwlCity was just him thou. i didn't know he did so many objects(sounds good in anything he does)

[koopatroopa397]

This opens up strangely similar to "Talking to the Moon"

[xkittypuppetx]

oh there should so be a duo with adam young in this <3

[yourshowercap]

@xkittypuppetx this is Adam Young... maybe two Adam Youngs? *_*

[xkittypuppetx]

@yourshowercap i doubt it is cuz its sung by a different band

its an owl city song yes but the band is different x3

[MusicFeedsMyS0ul]

@xkittypuppetx This is a Sky Sailing ( Adam Young ) song but it was oringinally made under the name Seagull Orchestra ( also Adam Young ). Owl city is also Adam young, just one guy. He has lots of different projects, not just Owl City. :)

[08danjo]

is this really adam young???!!!!

[AlwayZash]

@08danjo yep!

[SnakeFisher007]

I like this sailboats more than the sky sailing one!!!

[xxVampireZeldaxx]

Dude Adam Young had so many different projects before Owl City :)

I'll spendz my whole life knowing them all

[PlugInThePartyLights]

If Adam put the emotion of the Sky Sailing version into this but kept everything else the same, this would be one of the most gorgeous songs i have ever heard :'D

[martha368]

I've heard this somewhere before!! Idk where though!! Omg i love adam young. xx

[PlugInThePartyLights]

@martha368

This is the longer (and better) version of Sailboats by Sky Sailing, another one of Adam's projects (:

[martha368]

@PlugInThePartyLights That's it!! xx

[xJustNele]

I love this so much, I love Adam's voice in it, I love the lyrics, I love éverything

[mimsicalcreature]

But seriously, how can a human being be this good at writing music?

[PremiumDot]

Beast song <3

[tifftiff0502]

finally. REAL music :)

[vastjosie]

Where can I buy this version of the song?

[nyla63]

<3 I'm in lovee :)

[kuchipatchiluver]

<3

[novacat77]

so this is old owl city?

[screamingsocks]

@novacat77 yep ^^

[thetangeledivy]

this is beautiful <3

[kauruclaws1]

The new version was nice, too bad they didn't put the instrumental part of this song in that song.. figures I'm still more in favor with this version than the other one

[luckydreamer941]

Is it really adam singing??

[screamingsocks]

@luckydreamer941 of course it is c:

[OwlCitty]

Such a pretty song ^_^

[Claire5292]

This song is incredible:) and I love the sky sailing version:)

[3VILweezelproduction]

Thankfully I'm not the only one who's 14 here. I love this man. I absolutely love him. Does anybody know where i can get these songs or the full discography?

[Tobran95]

He did a version of this song when he was Sky Sailing

[musiclover4evr11]

Am I the only one here who's not 14 years old?

[AtomicUrgency]

@musiclover4evr11 I'm 15 about to be 16 soon,if that counts for anything hahaha

[musiclover4evr11]

@AtomicUrgency huzzah! someone else who isn't 14! congratulations.

[AtomicUrgency]

@musiclover4evr11 double huzzahs for us ! Wait how old are you ?

[musiclover4evr11]

@AtomicUrgency I'm afraid I'm not that the liberty to divulge that information... but I am definitely older than 14 :)

[AtomicUrgency]

@musiclover4evr11 I'll take your word for it :)

[birdofpreymorpher]

@musiclover4evr11 I'm 13!

[petch123nz]

Lol, random 14 year olds... like me. xD

[themusicsheek]

It's the same exact as the sky sailing one....

[musiclover4evr11]

@themusicsheek no, the lyrics have been changed a little

[LoudieBlue]

The 9 people who disliked this must be crazy :]

[JustLikeJocci]

i like this one... better than the sky sailing one (-:

[kugatsuku]

This song is so amazing. It makes me feel so good, but at the same time so sad.

[milarii]

there are so many 14 year olds here... I am too actually xD

seriously though, this version should be on iTunes! I like it better than the Sky Sailing version

[kugatsuku]

@milarii You don't have to get it from iTunes. There's a great website called musiz.com , and you can just look up YouTube videos, and download the audio. No viruses since it's straight from YT, and it's not illegal. It's great, and later you can transfer them to iTunes. My whole iTunes library pretty much consists of all songs straight from YouTube. Try it, ^-^

[gq670]

@kugatsuku Audio from YouTube videos really sucks, that's why "smart" people buy music from stores (also to support the artist) or or download it via other illegal methods. =)

[TheSnowyice]

1:04 Sounds like Final Fantasy music.

[TheSnowyice]

This kind of reminds me of On The Wing.  :-D

[TheSnowyice]

ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz........

[OWLCITY54]

His songs match perfectly with the visualization of a dream...

[Lyvarna]

This is so pretty. I listen to it every night before bed.

[ChemicallyDapper]

1. You can't hear anything.

2. Yes, it was originally Seagull Orchestra but it's not. So there's no reason to call it that. And if you think this is the song that he did before and then edited it for An Airplane Carried me to Bed, It's not. He even stated it. Just saying.

[Cedarpoint582]

@ChemicallyDapper Uh, this version definitely is Seagull Orchestra, and always will be. It has been since it was put up on Myspace in 2006. Also, the Sky Sailing album is called "The Early Recordings of Adam Young" for a reason.

[sweetsamgirl]

@Cedarpoint582

it's called the early recordings of Adam Young because he created the Sky Sailing songs wayyyyyyy before he was Owl City! But he just redid them all. :)

[FlyingFearlessMusic]

i love this, inspiration for all music. check it out:)

[AlwayZash]

@xBRAVErobotx LOL!! pirates r cool. ahha im 14 too! lol THUMBS UP IF UR 14 AND LISTENING TO THIS

[MusicFeedsMyS0ul]

@AlwayZash 14 YEAR OLDS FTW! XD

[AlwayZash]

wow i love his voice like this! :D he is so tallented i wish i could sing like him. <3

[DEVinH3o]

everytime i listen to anything adam makes, i always come back to this song, i cannot get enough of it

[LovelyFavole1987]

is there any places I can download this?

[SurgeonArmy]

@LovelyFavole1987 video2mp3. net

[ggill1313]

I think I like this better than the newer version. I know I do.

[EarthCyclop]

Where can i get the picture at 0:17 ?

[Anziopro]

@EarthCyclop you can get that picture at 3:34

[xXPurpleFlyingOwlXx]

I fall asleep to this song!!!

I love it sooooooo much!!!!

[GarbageMan811]

This is from sky sailing :)

[Kevindahottie]

is this from Sky Sailing? its Adam Young's Project

[Sw00zies]

@Kevindahottie This is another one of his projects. Wikipedia "List of Adam Young Projects" and look at all of them. It's amazing.

[moon87119]

Adam Young's voice reminds me of the beach on a calm and sunny day. Gentle and warm

[gaiaonlineisthebest]

i thought this was from sky sailing

[RandomMess2009]

@gaiaonlineisthebest it is, seagull orchestra= sky sailing= owl city and so does swimming with dolphins... kinda :)

[gaiaonlineisthebest]

@RandomMess2009 no what im saying is i thought the song was from an album of sky sailing lol

[milarii]

@gaiaonlineisthebest it is, it's just more autotuned and has harmonies in it. and his voice is louder there, too. he just did two versions, i guess

[angiepangie100]

@gaiaonlineisthebest This is adam's original version of this song from years ago but wasn't well known until the sky sailing album was released which is just another one of adam's projects other then owl city. The lyrics are different, this one is a bit longer, and less autotuned.

[11polkadot1]

these are the most beautiful lyrics ever...

can I just jump in this song and sit there for a while?

[stavrosOWLCITY]

thumbs up if you feel like floating when you here this song!

[jacknjellify]

Apparently, moon chess is preferable to moon golf in Adam's eyes.

[ChristianCowgirl374]

I love it! -3

[UltimateZombieToast]

Sweet intoxication.

[Pipster807]

I kind of like his voice better here!

[theforstation1]

i like sound sky sailing - sailboats

[pikapower127]

Owl city is my life ! thats all there is to it .

[ray1211ng]

@pikapower127 me 2 ^^

[shindoxlioncub]

he's a great singer no matter what.

[buggadooodle]

i like this version better but i know the sky sailing one better cuz i have it on my ipod but i hope to get this on there too *^-^*

[milarii]

I like this so much more than the autotune of the Sky Sailing version, even though they're both amazing. But honestly, they're both Adam Young, so what did you expect?

[TheCaptinblue]

If you listen to the Sky Sailing version, at the very end there's the sound of a train. I'm probably the only one who would ever notice that, it's pretty cool.

[brentmusic1]

no it's not autotune. i have it, so i think i could tell if it was. i think i heard somewhere that he uses melodyne, which you can drag your off pitch notes to the right notes. makes it sound on pitch but natural. still, i don't care. adam young is still a genius.

[danielpsss]

That IS autotuned too, people who actually uses autotune should recognize it.

It sounds like it's not autotuned because the recording is not that clear and he didn't exaggerated on it.

Anyway, this is my favorite song of all time, and I always get chills listening to this.

[gingerofwar97]

i think the world would probably stop spinning from this very day if Adam Young was never born

[seagullorchestra]

person: what's your favorite band?

me: seagull orchestra

person: who's that?

me: the best band you'll never know...

[ElleEstVivante]

This version wins.

[MusicFeedsMyS0ul]

i definitely prefer this version

[because123ily]

delete Owl City from your title , and this song name would be just right .

Seagull Orchestra - the project name .

Sailboats - the name of the song .

[theseus27]

I simply adore this song,made even better with one of my favourite musical instruments - the piano.

I love playing the piano myself!  Who doesn't??

Thumbs up if you agree with this lovely type of music.

Thanks! :)

[Kodocha7]

Titling failure its by sky sailing not owl city but that's okay :)

[PhnixHAMsta]

I wonder when Adam will make a bad song. Remotely never gonna happen? =)

[TaysAndOceanSky]

@PhnixHAMsta I know, every single song he makes is awesome!

[PhnixHAMsta]

@TaysAndOceanSky Too true. =) Each and every one of his songs. =P

[awesomeness10853]

Adam young must be schitzophrenic, cuz he sings about the things we can only dream of seeing...

[AgentLlamaSpit]

i like this version allot better :)

[xXxRainbowViensxXx]

adam=always amazing

[SuperponySkippy936]

Ahh, I love listening to the "rough drafts" of Adam Young's songs before they're polished and put on CDs. There's just something so... honest about them. Sure, they're a little out of tune and the flow isn't the best, but this is where the feeling in his music really comes out. It's like first thought, the thoughts that cross your mind before they're edited. I wish we could hear more of his songs like this.

[vdubluv19]

the best song to listen to when you're watching the stars!

[mermaidofdaytona]

I want to come with you, Adam, will you take me along?

[mermaidofdaytona]

If Adam Young weren't writing this music, I would have suicided a long time ago.

[1RedFox2]

@mermaidofdaytona thats probably true for a lot of people

[sietseboy]

This music inspires me to make up my own music.

I'm 14

[ApatheticAnimosityGK]

@sietseboy same here, i am 14. go to soundcloud and search apathetic animosity. Its all electropop.

[HELLJUMP3R7]

@ApatheticAnimosityGK I had a look but I'm not really sure I'd call it electropop :/

[HELLJUMP3R7]

@sietseboy I'm 16 and I've just started :) Good luck to you mate, and trust me once you get going you won't be able to stop writing :D 

[xBRAVErobotx]

@sietseboy Really? This makes me wanna be a pirate!

I'm 14 also.

[blondie6400]

@sietseboy Go,and do it.Nobody can stop you(:

[tcrossau]

The sky sailing version seems to flow alot better then this one, I am sorry but some of the words just do no match up with the rythem

[MusicFeedsMyS0ul]

@tcrossau good for you.

[sweepmagik]

I really wish he'd kept the list of nouns in his Sky Sailing version

[ElvenAngel17]

This is amazing <3

[angiepangie100]

I like the lyrics in this version much better then the sky sailing version. I mean i know both are adam young, but this one sounds a bunch better :)

[TheSnowyice]

This sounds haunting yet very peaceful. A lot like the feel of a vivid dream. Good job Adam. :D

[11ventus]

This song sounds a little lonely...makes sense really, because if you've been out at sea for weeks at a time, it does get pretty lonely indeed.

[xXxRainbowViensxXx]

who in their rite mind not lik this video!!!!!!!!

[LittleBlondeHobbit]

I love the ending- it's like he's just woken up from a strage dream where he's dancing with Audrey Hepburn. :D

Ahh if he didn't cut out the list of nouns in the Sky Sailing version- i would go and yell at everyone to buy this song so it gets some recognition. <3 it's amazingg.

however i prefer the slight sadness in this version, rather than the bliss like feel of the newer one. :D

[pkaurastorm]

Sky Sailing = Owl City

Owl City = Seagull Orchestra

Seagull Orchestra =Swimming With Dolphins

Swimming With Dolphins = Sky Sailing

I Love Them All Equally :D
