Young: “In my opinion, there is a huge lack of imaginative, unconventional music being created by artists today and what little there is, goes widely unappreciated by the masses. 'Port Blue' is my attempt at re-creating the music I want to hear and the emotions I want to feel." 

Young: “Reality is a lovely place, but I wouldn't want to live there.”

Young: “There is no old Adam Young, there is no new Adam Young, merely different colors and different brushstrokes over the same canvas.”

Young: “Time. There is much time left and lots of life seasons. There is much to see, to do, and to be.”

Young: "If by chance you ever feel as though you've come to know these songs, please consider yourself a friend because in a manner of speaking, you know me. This music is my heart and soul. This is who I am." 

Young: “Writing music is like tasting the sky. It keeps me dreaming in color.”

Young: “When I was a small boy, old people used to squat down to my eye level and ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up, to which my answer was invariably, 'a pirate.' Their stunned silence was always very reassuring.”

Young: “If you can fly, don't stop at the sky, 'cause there's footprints on the moon!”

Young: “Wars--and what is war except crime on a mass scale?--destroy rather than produce. The vandal that destroys a window causes not only the owner to bear the costs of replacing it, but costs those whom he planned on using that money to buy from. The same goes for wars. The warlords--of war and peace--destroyed so much, not only what existed, but all those new things that could have existed, if only individuals were left in peace.”

Young: “I built you a sandcastle because you're a princess, but I tore it down because I'm a loser.”

Young: “Stay in the Word. The moment you start letting go of that, you're on the road to compromise. Stay grounded, remain pure, keep your eyes fixed on Jesus.”

Young: “I'm scared to death that I'll never be afraid”

Young: “As I'm so often reminded what a priceless gift my life is, I ache with everything in me to make it count, so that when I finally cross the finish line, I'll hear the words, 'Well done, good and faithful servant.'”

Young: “Maybe some are so busy waiting, they forget what indescribable beauty is right there in front of them.”
