this song reminds me of my brother who i haven't seen in forever. we write letters and stuff. it also reminds me to have courage.."what lies out there, no one knows. the tide could bring in anything, so steady as she goes" God bless you! thanks for putting it up:)
He's written about having a sister in this song and in another having a brother, even though he's an only child. Maybe he wishes he had siblings? Hmm :)
This song makes me think of a big 1700s ship sailing lazily over rolling waves... it makes me think of being prepared for life, taking things as they come, and not worrying. I can just imagine listening to this on my iPod on a warm summer day, sitting on the beach or on my roof.... it's the perfect song. I just love it so much... yes, even more than Brielle.
I managed to get this to match the timing on my MP3 and it sounds amazing! I don't think this is how I would say it but because I never went to one I think it sounds like him live.
i love rock/punk music and only sky sailing x owl city can make me like mellow music their song make me feel safe and at ease ..dunno why >~< theyre awesome!
ugh! my dog keeps breathing on me and wanting a stroke while im on the laptop! he alwyas does that! and i lost £60! my teachers told us we would be in big trouble if we lost it and just my luck as always i did! i nearly cried and my mum is NOT happy! HUUUUUUUUUH just needed adam to cheer me up :)
@LaineyBear09 No this is the music that Adam wrote before he started Owl City. If you go to the sky sailing site he writes a letter that explains the whole story. It's pretty awesome actually.
my brother posted this on my facebook wall me and my brother live states and states away from eachother iloveyou donovan you're the best brother in the world:b
@tubellarbells adam young is owl city and sky sailing!! that why they sound so close! sky sailing was his early stuff that he never got profetionally recorded till he hit it big with owl city and then he recorded it!
I know it sounds dark, but I think it's about a boy who used to have a little sister that wanted to be an actress, but died at a young age due to a disease.
@UrMomIsClockLike huh. Ya sure? Whatever, "state minds" just didnt seem to make sense, especially when it sounds so close to "state lines", which makes more sense! :)
Adam Young makes some damned adorable music. But I can't help but be a little disappointed in his complete and utter lack of any variation ever. I'm hoping he branches out a bit for the next Owl City album.

All of Adams songs are beautiful.
They're simply indescribable.
Amazing, how someone can come up with such, inspiring thoughts.
Adam deserve a hug......... idk how else to say how great this is.....
simply beautiful.........

this is an amazing turnout for Adam Young's music.
I think this is the best Sky Sailing song. It's just my favorite :)
One of my new favorite songs... then again... anything by Adam is :)
this song is just so sweet... I often fantasize someone would sing this for me... I hope Adam would!
this is what magic sounds like
Ohhh Adam Young...you never fail to give me a huge smile on my face with you music...yet alone your voice

I found this song accidently while looking for the recounteurs, but i love it! :) ♥
the best song of the whole album (:
Simply incredible.
i dont usually correct but because i love this song so much:
*tide

Love this song so much :) It reminds me of my brother and I!!!

theyre awesome!
beautiful.....I was trying not two short curcuit my key board while I was listening to this album for the first time.... =')
As wonderful as dreaming!
I now present: One of the last artist in the world who doesn't use AutoTune! *applauseapplauseapplause*
The second verse in this song makes cry cause my sister and I haven't spoken in two years over simple argument over nothing.
I know this was 8 years ago so any "patch things up" advice i have might be outdated...i just pray things have gotten better between you both
My gosh I love this song so much. Makes me want to sing along every time.
ugh! my dog keeps breathing on me and wanting a stroke while im on the laptop! he alwyas does that! and i lost £60! my teachers told us we would be in big trouble if we lost it and just my luck as always i did! i nearly cried and my mum is NOT happy! HUUUUUUUUUH just needed adam to cheer me up :)

Very nice. Gives me warm thoughts for my future :3
i adore this song!!:)
This isn't a "love" song per say. It's a song about a brother who loves his sister... Love songs are more all romanticy
Several state minds keep us apart, but don't loose sleep 'cause i'll always keep you in my heart..!
Lawl; :'L damn the more i listen to it the more i fall in love with it ♥_♥
the tide* could bring out anything xD
my brother posted this on my facebook wall me and my brother live states and states away from eachother
iloveyou donovan you're the best brother in the world:b
actually, he has like 18 different stage names :P (some are solo projects and some are collaborations)
I've personally found at least 30, and I think I read somewhere that there's at least 72.
I'd prefer Scoittish, its the perfect combo of an English and Irish accent! :3
You're listening to fricken Owl City, kid.
I highly doubt Adam had "love song" in his mind when he wrote something as raw as this.
The lyrics are messed up in a bunch of places. But I still love this song.
@tubellarbells adam young is owl city and sky sailing!! that why they sound so close! sky sailing was his early stuff that he never got profetionally recorded till he hit it big with owl city and then he recorded it!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
@unicornalita I agree. He makes such good 'feelgood' songs.
@quirkyeccentric64 definitely true but I think he means it like "state of minds".
my favorite song!!
This was before he started Owl City. It was his early work that was more guitar/piano oriented
I know it sounds dark, but I think it's about a boy who used to have a little sister that wanted to be an actress, but died at a young age due to a disease.
Could you imagine Adam and Ed Sheeran doing a song together?
i love this song cuz it's about his sister.
@Silverstar132 there also should be "lines" instead of "minds" at 1:39 :)
is this about a brother and a sister?
@amanda620danielle no i think you're right. that's what i always thought it said. dramatic makes more sense.
Yumm just yumm :}
I have a big brother like that. In fact...he sent me to this song....
Wonderful plain acoustic pop inspired as not many out there. Too close to OWL CITY but isn't that great, too ?
@Silverstar132 and isnt it state lines not minds?
Sweet!
And at 1:37 it's state LINES, not state "Minds" :)
at 1:29, isn't it "dramatic" instead of "traumatic"? I could be wrong, but just saying what I think.
because sky sailing is more acoustic and just straight outta his imagination and less techno and more relaxed than owl city
did they make a song about my sister??
@Silverstar132 Yeah it is tide and I thought it was dramatic,not traumatic
Does anyone else wanna sing along with an Irish accent, or is that just me? XD
i love owl city so much
The tide* Good video!!! 😄
@UrMomIsClockLike huh. Ya sure? Whatever, "state minds" just didnt seem to make sense, especially when it sounds so close to "state lines", which makes more sense! :)
Same
I think he says something about post war novels in sunburn too. hhhmmm
Sky Sailing was his project before he came out with Owl City...
@UrMomIsClockLike could be, but then it should be "states of mind" or "states of minds"......
Who's "they"? .3.
@ooOaNiLuVuOoo adam young not them!
its state lines not state minds...
there should not be any dislikes, but there is 3?!
Vim achando que seria um cover de The Raconteurs ( não, eu não prestei atenção no nome da banda ) RISOS
Mas gostei dessa.
@SpringSkies Lol who doesn't?
@quirkyeccentric64 It actually is minds.
After hearing that I knew for sure I'd love it
good job man :)
I THOUGHT Owl City and Sky Sailing sounded alike... Why would Adam Young put out music with two different stage names?
He likes it, I guess.
@sorenguardian101 CHILL...........goodness.
Does anyone know the chords?
the one person who dislikes this must deft.
Adam Young makes some damned adorable music.
But I can't help but be a little disappointed in his complete and utter lack of any variation ever. I'm hoping he branches out a bit for the next Owl City album.
@happyfeet794 wow.. dat shirt must be cool ^^
@jacob112291 maybe a thousand hugs from 10,000 lightning bugs will do it. :)
My big bro says this song reminds me of him cause he says i'm the best damn actress the world has ever seen! over statement? Maybe.....
3 people didnt read any post war novels.
I wish I was his sister. :)
Ever hear of an innocent tiepoe?
@chekkawekka101
yeah...why did ur teacher give you 60 quid?
I like this song, but I dont think I would be that excited to see my sister!
lol okay xD
@abbyfanduby Hahaha dude...yes!
this is sweet untill you know hes an only child 0.o
:P typo lol
@UrMomIsClockLike its state LINES Actually
No...i haven't!
@chekkawekka101 lol yeh yeah sorry i mean ADAM YOUNG
p.s adam doesnt even have a sister.
@shushu3399 no its not know you freaken sky sailing >:( jk
3 people are deaf!
Dear 3 evil people who dislike this song:
Your hand must have slipped. If not, the world dislikes you. >:D
Have a Great Day
From:Everyone else
LIES!!! THIS IS NOT A RACONTEURS COVER!!! I HAVE BEEN BETRAYED!!! LET LOOSE THE DOGS OF WAR!!!
