Sky Sailing

Have you found that one thing you're most passionate about? It's probably a breeze to live life knowing exactly what you were born to do.

In case you have not known, I'm a huge fan of this man called Adam Young. We have a serendipitous story together. I was on shuffle mode on iTunes and then The Saltwater Room came playing. I had no idea where the song had come from, but for some wicked reason it came sneaking into my playlist. I've heard of it, I began following his records and there, an Owl-let was born. I was the happiest and most excited girl that night of his concert. And though there were fangirls in the concert grounds I'd like to believe they were just pretending since they didn't really know most of the songs. Haha.

Anyway, fast forward to now. I'm just not a fan of the music but of the passion he's put into them. There's a hint of sincerity not too revealing yet honest enough. Adam Young is releasing this pre-Owl City album and he calls himself Sky Sailing. He writes in his blog:

This album is a step into the past, the documented account of a shy boy from Minnesota with more hopes and dreams than he knew what to do with. When you listen to this record, you can hear naivety, innocence, inexperience and the wide-eyed imaginings of a wishful thinker. It’s both light and dark, optimistic and melancholy. Unpolished and dusty, it’s an antique and therefore holds a truly unique and graceful aesthetic within.

Don't we all feel like that sometimes?

I think I can relate with his story because I am a wishful thinker too. And when I find myself uninspired his music is one of those I turn to.

And always, his music is more beautiful than sleep. :-)
