The debut album An Airplane Carried Me To Bed 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 is both light and dark, optimistic and melancholy. Unpolished and dusty, it is an antique and therefore holds a truly unique and graceful aesthetic within. Though there has always been just one artist behind the music....before there was Owl City there was Sky Sailing.

Sky Sailing Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I am sailing away recalling that day miles from shore
She was still wearing white and robins egg blue, Her grandmother's dress
When I left home early this year, how I wound up here is anyone's guess
When the new sites grow old and I start to feel cold I'll sail home again
Goodbye Brielle
Only whispers can tell
I'll see you around our dear ocean town
The frozen days we set ablaze
Sent me drifting away
Like a butterfly, I floated by and now I'm alone
I wish I knew when I'll be back again
So until then I wish you well
My dear Brielle
Strolling over the sand, cobblestone paths that wind through the trees
Breathing the sweet forest air makes a shy boy aware that he could be free
When the new sites grow old and I start to feel cold I'll sail home again
Goodbye Brielle
Only whispers can tell
Of the sweet dreams that we knew so well
I'll see you around our dear ocean town
The frozen days we set ablaze
Sent me drifting away
Like a butterfly, I floated by and now I'm alone
I wish I knew when I'll be back again
So until then I wish you well
So until then I wish you well
For the time being farewell
My dear Brielle
The Sky Sailing's song Brielle tells a story about a young man who left home and went to a different town, where he met a girl named Brielle. The song opens with a poignant image of a handwritten note, pressed in the door of her screened in porch. It hints that the man had to leave in a hurry or in secret, leaving behind a note as a way of communicating with Brielle. The songwriter mentions that he sailed away, perhaps emphasizing that Brielle lived close to the ocean.
The song's lyrics suggest that Brielle and the singer shared a memorable summer romance. The line, "She was still wearing white and robins egg blue, Her grandmother's dress" captures the image of Brielle in a beautiful dress, perhaps recalling a special day spent together. Even though the singer is far away from Brielle, he cannot forget the memories they made. He reminisces about the special moments they shared, and how they explored the cobblestone paths that wind through the trees.
The chorus of the song, "Goodbye Brielle, Only whispers can tell of the sweet dreams that we know so well" underscores the bittersweet ending of their relationship. The song ends on the note of uncertainty, with the singer not knowing when he will be back again.
Overall, Brielle is a song about fleeting summer romance and the memories that stay with us even after the season is over. The songwriter does an excellent job of portraying intense feelings of longing, beauty, and nostalgia.

There's a handwritten note pressed in the door of her screened in porch
And I am sailing away recalling that day miles from shore
She was still wearing white and Robin's egg blue, her grandmother's dress
When I left early this year, how I wound up here is anyone's guess
When the new sites grow old and I start to feel cold I'll sail home again
[Chorus:]
Goodbye Brielle
Only whispers can tell
Of the sweet dreams that we knew so well
I'll see you around our dear ocean town
The frozen days we set ablaze
Sent me drifting away
Like a butterfly, you floated by and now you're alone
I wish I knew when I'll be back again
So until then I wish you well
My dear Brielle
Strolling over the sand, in cobblestone paths that wind through the trees
Breathing the sweet forest air makes a bluebird aware that she could be free
When the new sites grow old and I start to feel cold I'll sail home again
[Chorus:]
Goodbye Brielle
Only whispers can tell
Of the sweet dreams that we knew so well
I'll see you around our dear ocean town
The frozen days we set ablaze
Sent me drifting away
Like a butterfly, you floated by and now you're alone
I wish I knew when I'll be back again
So until then I wish you well
So until then I wish you well
I love you my darling, farewell
My dear Brielle

Lyric
There's a handwritten note pressed in the door
Of her screened in porch
And I am sailing away recalling that day
Miles from shore
She was still wearing white and robin's egg blue
Her grandmother's dress
When I left early this year how I won't appear
Is anyone's guess
When the new sites grow old and I start to feel cold
I'll sail home again
Goodbye Brielle, only whispers can tell
Of the sweet dreams that we knew so well
I'll see you around our dear ocean town
The frozen days we set ablaze sent me drifting away
Like a butterfly you floated by and now you're alone
I wish I knew when I'll be back again
So until then I wish you well, my dear Brielle
Strolling over the sand and cobblestone paths
That wind through the trees
And breathing the sweet forest air makes the blue bird aware
That she could be free
When the new sites grow old and I start to feel cold
I'll sail home again
Goodbye Brielle, only whispers can tell
Of the sweet dreams that we knew so well
I'll see you around our dear ocean town
The frozen days we set ablaze sent me drifting away
Like a butterfly you floated by and now you're alone
I wish I knew when I'll be back again
So until then I wish you well, so until then I wish you well
I love you, my darling, farewell, my dear Brielle
