Due to a series of extremely unfortunate events, I underwent a surgery several days ago that will render me hors de combat for the next six weeks. I spent the first day out of the hospital lying on the couch watching Jacques Cousteau documentaries and writing on my laptop, drifting in and out of dizzy states of consciousness as the morphine weakened and slowly wore off. No thanks to an incredible amount of pain and a vertiginous mix of Vicodin and Ambien, I typed furiously away all night and cooked up an incredibly bizarre batch of words of which I have no recollection of actually writing.
thanks again for all the love and notes this past two weeks and a huge shout out to r/Austin 98989v2 on Reddit. Without you finding this promo CD and having the heart to upload them, we may have never got any content from Adam this year.

Sailboats (Early 2007 Demo) by Sky Sailing
As mentioned in a previous post, this is the third version of Sailboats we have now. I won’t go into details too much, just listen for yourself <3
All previous uploads from the Promo CD do work but are unlisted as the user reuploaded them with lossless audio.
Originally recorded in early 2007, Flowers of the Field actually made the demo CD whereas Take Me Somewhere Nice did not. Leaving the demo for Sailboats as the last remaining song to be released from the promo CD found by r/Austin98989v2 :)
We now have a new snippet from the promo CD found by Austin98989!! This time, Sailboats! Originally a Seagull Orchestra song, it was added to the Sky Sailing album. So this marks the THIRD version of Sailboats released to the public. Personally, the end of this snippet sounds like it’s recorded “underwater” and I absolutely love it!!
Sky Sailing - Tennis Elbow (Early Demo) has been put on YouTube!!! Another excited demo from the Promo CD that Austin98989 found on eBay with alternate lyrics!!
The Full Demo of Captains of the Sky was released on Reddit.
I genuinely started crying halfway through the song because I think we all miss Adam’s music that much.
The OP said that the promo CD that they bought contained 11 DEMOS of An Airplane Carried Me To Bed. The ‘Brielle’ and ‘I Live Alone’ are the same as what has been released online before so that’s 9 NEW DEMOS. Including a 3rd version of Sailboats. I’m not sure if ‘Take Me Somewhere Nice’ is on the CD as it is not listed on the CD itself or Discogs. It was replaced by ‘Flowers of the Field’
1: Swimming In Miami 🏝”When you are lying half asleep in your room, unaware if it is midnight or afternoon” - My first time attempting this kind of lighting, I’m happy I didn’t mess it up too much 😊
