An Airplane Carried Me to Bed is the first and only album by Sky Sailing, a project by Adam Young. The album comprises some of his early recordings from before he started Owl City. It was released digitally on July 13, 2010, before it was released physically on July 27, 2010 via Universal Republic. Following the breakout success of Ocean Eyes in 2009, Adam Young announced that he would be re-launching his previous side project Sky Sailing. Young explained the record stating,"These recordings are 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. I am so very excited to share it with you."
The album was recorded in the summer of 2007 according to Young. Upon his return to Sky Sailing, Young uploaded two tracks on MySpace, "Brielle" and "I Live Alone". "Brielle" was later released as the lead single from the album on July 13, 2010. An accompanying music video for the song premiered on July 28, 2010 via VEVO. "A Little Opera Goes a Long Way" was released as the second single in 2010. "Tennis Elbow" was released on July 22, 2010 for a free download on his newsletter. "Flowers of the Field" was released as the third and final single on July 27, 2010. An Airplane Carried Me to Bed was generally well received by music critics and it debuted at No. 30 on the Billboard 200 and was one of the most-downloaded new albums on the week it was released. The album sold upwards to 15,000 copies in the US in its first week.
