- I used to watch Christina's covers when I was young. She was not only an incredible singer, she is an inspiration to many people across the world, and we lost her way too soon. I haven't stopped thinking about her and her family so I decided to write a song in her memory. Thank you, Rest In Paradise Christina x

Please help this fund raising for Christina's family as much as you can. Thank you. God bless you all xx - Hudba
I cannot believe that we live in a world where people are killed for doing what they love. So much cruelty for no reason at all. Christina really was an angel - your lyrics are so beautiful Connie X
:C
We DON'T "live in a world where people are killed for doing what they love" So you must get that idea right out of your head immediately!
+Sarah Jowett actually we do live in a world where we are killed for that exact reason. police are aiming toward it being a planned kill. against her, against her career choice. against what she believed in & stood for. people are cruel, were not safe to be who & what we are. we need to be careful
+Sarah Jowett That's a rather naive comment. People are killed just for being a different shade, what makes you think people aren't killed for doing what they love too? I'm not saying that was the reason for this particular death, but it's truly unrealistic to assume that people aren't killed for less than just merely existing. Either you're young and inexperienced with life or life was very kind to you. Either way, extremely unrealistic way of assuming murderers intentions.
+Espers San couldn't agree more.
Now that she is gone everyone shows their appreciation. I hope Christina truly knew how much she was loved and appreciated when she was still alive. I hope she knew about the impact she had on all these people. She was an inspiration and I just hope she knew that.
I'm sure she did :) Christina wouldn't have taken it for granted
I'm sure she did :) Christina wouldn't have taken it for granted
Oh my god. Your words are so..powerful.
Yes, indeed Christina knew how much she was loved & appreciated while she was among us physically because it constantly showed in that bright light of hers, that amazing smile, and unconditional love she showed to everyone she met & knew in her precious life! She knew alright 😀
+Lucy Liang GOD has a specific job for all of us in Heaven,hopefully hers is music but if not it is what she is meant to do..I hope mines music too...God Bless All
When I saw the report about Christina's death I, for the first time in my life, experienced the physical reaction of shock. I just couldn't take in what I was reading. The nightclub killings that followed have left me bewildered and apprehensive. Let us hope that the impulse for peace and world harmony will rise in the hesrts of mankind.
Yes same here. I have no words. If it wasn't for Connie I would still think Christina was alive and wait for her next video. Rest in Peace Christina
Me to
me too
peace in the universe.. where we can get that?
+Mary Grace in our hearts...
This was the most beautiful tribute. I'm shedding tears as I'm hanging on to every word in this song... no lyrics fit anymore perfect than these. This world lost a lot when we lost Christina.
I couldn't have stated it better myself.
Pete in Canada...feeling the same way.. RIP Tina... thank you Connie
This is Connie at her best. Originality, piano, voice, room at home and a camera. No gimmicks needed - stunning.
Don't know why. I keep coming back to hear this fantastic original time after time. Can't praise Connie enough for writing and singing this. Too me it is absolutely topclass composing and performing for any age.
What a touching tribute. Couldn't help but cry at the line "Now you have wings, you can teach the angels how to sing" RIP Christina
I can just imagine Christina there with you,singing along and thanking you for what you're doing and telling you that she loves you.
Going back to hear this.
Can`t praise you enough for this song written in a day, Connie.
It is just one of the best songs ever written. Christina would be so proud.
When there is a new dislike, I ponder whether the person is void of feeling, jealous of the performer's unique abilities, or they're just being a jerk. Then I realize, it's all of the above. They're entitled to their opinion. This is mine.
It's my opinion that people who comment about others opinions, rather than the their own opinion of the video itself, have wasted their opportunity.
It's my opinion that people who comment about those who comment on others opinions, rather than the their own opinion of the video itself, have wasted their opportunity.
Though probably unintentional, that's an oxymoron.
intermenater Of course it is. LOL! I thought it silly! Your initial comment I believe is quite accurate!! :)
It is MY opinion that those who comment upon other people's opinions are indeed giving an opinion... and I agree with +intermenator
To date (19 June '16), Connie's beautiful song has attracted 35 thumbs down... and those who gave them, IMO, are jealous jerks!
*R {:-)*
I love how all these CZcams artists are creating songs for Christina. It really is a great way to honor her.
This is just beautiful. So so beautiful.
Vc é muito linda..❤❤❤
so sensitive, empathic, geniune .... I am speechless, Connie.
Can't stop listening to this tribute. The more I listen the more beautiful the lyrics and melody is. To know that Connie wrote this in one day is truly amazing. She is only 15. True talent and truly a great sweet girl.
LYRICS:
Sailing Safe [Original] - Connie Talbot
A Tribute to Christina Grimmie
Heartbreaking all around,
We speak but there’s no sound.
Black stains upon our cheeks,
Our tears come falling down.
Cry a river over you,
And drown in its despair.
I know I didn’t know you,
But I know it isn’t fair.
Cause we lost an angel,
We lost an angel in earth as well as heaven.
We lost an angel.
And with this grief won’t you take our prayers with you please
Now you have wings, you can teach the angels how to sing.
And with our tears won’t you build an ocean back here.
Sailing safe…
You heal the broken hearts with your own melody,
Taught us that it’s okay to not follow society.
This world never deserved you so I say goodbye tonight.
Good night, God bless you, rest in paradise.
And with this grief won’t you take our prayers with you please
Now you have wings, you can teach the angels how to sing.
And with our tears won’t you build an ocean back here.
Sailing safe….
-----------------------------
Connie this is a wonderful tribute to Christina. God bless. Take care everyone.
thank you
Yes, thanks.
Thank you for the lyrics
I think instead of "we lost an angel to nothing as well as heaven" it should be "we lost an angel to earth as well as heaven". That's just what I heard :)
ah yes. :)
She sounds like an angel.
I love her voice!!
it's so sad Christina Grimmie died:(
me too
dude, you are like, everywhere
She does, love it
Still this day this song touches me so much. Masterpiece by Connie Talbot, which really shows her potential.
This song is just perfection..And Connie wrote it in just one evening.
Christina was such a great singer and person😭
Thank you, Connie. What a wonderful person you are..
Oh my god.. this song makes me cry....😭
Perfection. Thank You Connie. "Christina Never Forget."
Absolutely beautiful , heartfelt song. Thank you Connie. I've never known of you until today , when I was searching for tributes to Christina. You've just gained a new fan. It's proof that even in tragedy , we are taught that there is much more good than evil in this world. Bless you Connie and RIP Christina. Heaven has an amazing new angel
You are so lucky! You have stumbled our own angel, our Sweet Connie! You are lucky that you can now see her numerous other works that fill our hearts with love and joy. Luckier still, you will see that both her lovely art and inspiring personal efforts to help the world grow in both depth and impact. At only 15, she is just getting started and I believe she will be an historic figure.
Holy shit, I can barely see my keypad as I typing this cause I'm crying again... This is such a beautiful song! I'm sure that Christina is smiling down at you Connie for writing and singing this beautiful song
When Christina was taken away from the world, I was in total shock. For days I felt like having lost someone from my own family. Even today I sometimes listen to her music and for some moments I forget she’s not around anymore. How come could some terrible thing get to her?
That is how much she was loved. And thank you, Connie, for writing this song, which is so beautiful as the person she was.
R.I.P Christina Grimmie and Chester Bennington. This is a beautiful song.
Such a touching tribute to Christina Grimmie. Rest in peace, Christina.
I remember watching Christina's covers for the first time... When she still had her 'poofy' hair. I could watch them all day. Her voice was incredible and she was such a beautiful soul. Absolutely devastated about what happened.
June 10, 2016 was a very sad for all of us who loved Christina and loved her singing. Connie this song is so beautiful. You sing this song with such feeling and meaning. The world has lost a lovely, talented girl. RIP Christina, May the Angels give you wings to fly
I MISS THIS GIRL. WROTE THIS SONG AND ANOTHER SONG AT AGE 15, THE SAME DAY. WISH SHE'D WRITE MORE OF HER OWN MUSIC TODAY. GOD BLESS CONNIE.
Connie, this is such a beautiful tribute to Christina.:) #RIPChristina
Truly a beautiful tribute ❤️!
I dont know how this song could make me cry in a snap.
We need to be able to buy this song!!! Please publish it!!! I'd buy it a million times! The world needs to hear your song Connie!❤️❤️❤️
This brought me tears, the song and what happened to Christina... I can't believe she died just like that...
This is a beautiful and amazing song Connie ♡ I'm very proud of being a connoefriend and proud of you, your heart is full of love and I love you share this love with the people. I LOVE YOU CONNIE and thanks for this beautiful song for Christina, I'm sure she aprecciates it from the other side and also her family. God bless you Con xoxo ♡
conniefriend* I love that you share...*
This is a beautiful song. Connie shows what a good writer she is to be able to post this in two days. This was from the heart.
I don't know what's more beautiful - her personality, her voice or her look.
we lost a beautiful and talented angel, man its been hard without her here :'(
An angel singing to another angel
This song is so beautiful. I don't know how to describe it but it's written in a style that would fit christinas voice very well. Is it weird that I can somehow imagine her singing this?
How beautiful! I'd like to dedicate this song as well to all the victims of the recent Orlando shooting. My thoughts and prayers go out to their family and friends 💗
I was watching Christina's covers while Connie plays this original for her,it blends in her videos so much.R.I.P. Chris!!!
I can't help it... Everytime I hear to this song I end up crying. Thanks for this little piece of miracle, Connie. It can't be more perfect.
It's 2020 now and I can't listen to that song without crying.
When I first started watching videos on CZcams 8 years ago, Christina was the first person I started watching on CZcams because I just loved her originality in her voice which had incredible vocal capabilities. I loved her style and most importantly she was such a humble person with a lot of sense of humor. The news still shocks me but heaven has just gained a beautiful angel. #RIPChristina #PrayforOrlando
Thank you Connie for such a beautiful and an amazing tribute to Christina 🥺💚💚💚 RIP Christina Grimmie
Soo beautiful and sad. RIP Christina. :'( I have no hope for this world anymore... People are so cruel and evil for no reason..
wow beautiful song well played by a beautiful soul
I'm so sad she died, but at the same time i'm so angry someone did that. Someone actually shot an angel and that is gonna disturb me for months. I will never get over this, i wish i didn't find her channel back in 2011 and became a fan, i wouldn't be in such a pain. #RIPChristina bless her family.
me too :C
oh noooooo don't say that! You would have missed soo much
In fans' hearts she'll always go on...
+Kate Wibberly well said man. She'll forever live on. Her spirit lives on with God. 😭😭😭 #neverforgotten
She was just a human and she bleeded when she felt down...
She crashed and she broke down...
She is such an inspiration to everyone and to me. She's a star that glittering out in the dark and losing her cause lots of pain and heartaches throughout the nation and all over the globe. This song is just amazingly beautiful, every words.
I never followed any celebrities on instagram, twitter etc... except Christina Grimmie. I loved her and when I heard she passed... it was so devestating to me. I'm still not over it.
I can't watch this without tearing up 😭😭😭 it was such a beautiful tribute to an amazing singer 💜
An angel's tribute to another angel that went up ahead. 😢
I didn't know Christina until after her death. I may not be as sad as the fans that knew he'd before she was shot, but I am greatly moved and saddened by this song. We really did lose an angel, and that 1 person who hated her in the millions that loved her really shouldn't have been at that one concert. They are sick and evil, and she would be standing somewhere in the world, happily hugging someone or singing. This is a beautiful song and I really love both you and Christina. Than you so much for writhing this song.
Profound lyrical imagery. From a fifteen year-old. It moves the heart. Gives us hope.
I remember we went to Selena Gomez concert in 2013 Christina was the beginning act she did great Connie I'm really impressed great song I hope she is in heaven smiling and knowing how much we love her
This is heartbreaking..
From this beautiful song, We all can know how much Christina is an inspiration to Connie and of course to the world. Thank you Connie, I'm sure that Christina is proud of you... x RIP Christina.
Beautiful, Connie I’m going to share you with over 5 thousand on Facebook, will many of all your songs. I will continue, your voice is amazing, I’ve watched you since the first time I see you so small and young. You are going to be a very famous artist
Thank you for her ... French fan of christina and you
Damn makes me cry
You're a huge star :(
Like christina.
So beautiful, the emotion can really be felt. RIP, angel.
Thank you very much Connie for the song, your voice is beautiful and this song is now my favorite...😍❤
This is so beautiful I can't keep coming back to it. I started watching Christina 4-5 years ago. I'm thankful for this cover. Thank you Connie.x

Connie Talbot -Tribute to Christina Grimmie-Sailing Safe (Original)
Heart-breaking all around,
We speak but there’s no sound.
Black stains upon our cheeks,
Our tears come falling down.
Cry a river over you,
And drown in its despair.
I know I didn't know you,
But I know it isn't fair.
Cause we lost an angel,
We lost an angel in earth as well as heaven.
We lost an angel.
And with this grief won’t you take our prayers with you please,
Now you have wings, you can teach the angels how to sing.
And with our tears won’t you build an ocean back here.
Sailing safe…
You heal the broken hearts with your own melody,
Taught us that it’s okay to not follow society.
This world never deserved you so I say goodbye tonight.
Good night, God bless you, rest in paradise.
And with this grief won’t you take our prayers with you please,
Now you have wings, you can teach the angels how to sing.
And with our tears won’t you build an ocean back here.
Sailing safe sailing safe,
Sailing safe.
And with this grief won’t you take our prayers with you please,
Now you have wings, you can teach the angels how to sing.
And with our tears won’t you build an ocean back here.
Sailing safe, Sailing safe…
R.I.P Christina Grimmie 🌹
Now i sit here again and cry. I saw the RIP letters for her on saturday morning and was in a deep shock for hours. I couldn´t believe what i was reading there. The question in my mind which will perhaps never has an answer for all of us is: WHY? This song says everything what I and certainly many others feel right now. Thank you Connie that you have shared your deepest and saddest feelings with all of us. You should sing this song in front of an big audience filled with family members, friends and fans from Christina. I´m sure that you would speak deep from the bottom of their hearts. Through your song can you speak for all those peoples which can´t find words in this hard situation for this cruel death.
This song couldn’t be put together more beautifully
A living angel tribute to another angel in heaven. So beautiful!
This is the most wonderful tribute I heard since I know about Christina...
She was... I don't know, I loved her so much... My heart is more than broken. I can't stop crying. I think about it every day. And your song says everything I can't.
Thank you so much.
Christina will live in our memories and hearts.
Have you listened to the song Tyler Ward wrote about her? It's also super emotional especially since he knew her personally and they were close friends. The fun fact he posted in the description broke my heart... it said he was one of the few people who actually knew her yt password. Idk that just really got to me and the song was so personal and he had to try really hard not to cry... couldn't even sing the whole song... it's heartbreaking.
I go listening to it right now. Thank you.
Kate K
I'm crying 😢 I miss Christina Grimmie so much 😭😭 thank you so much for this song Connie
Such a Beautiful Tribute from you Connie ❤. amazing talent. R.I.P Christina. xxx
So, So, So, beautiful to listening to and I love it
Who the fuck is even able to dislike this ?!
It's so beautiful..I'm crying so hard now....
The song you dedicate to her is just wonderful. #RIPChristina we will never forget you..
Christina was too bright a spirit...too pure...too lovely a soul...for this ugly world. Her presence made the darkness of the world not so bleak, and in her rested hope of all who knew her or were her fans. With her gone, our lives and this world is diminished. Well sung Connie. A fitting tribute.
I think almost all of you are missing the most important thing for the future, Christina was cruelly taken from us and her superb voice, career and personality stolen, but that I am afraid is fact and we cannot change it. What we can change is to make the world realise that in this girl Connie, we have a singer/songwriter with a soul and a heart so wonderful that she can express that loss so beautifully, remember Connie is only 15 (at the time of this recording). Christina is gone but must not be forgotten, Connie is the future and must not be ignored.
I was just listening to the three original song demos she's uploaded to Twitter since the first of July. Her lyrics are far more insightful that most of today's "fluff," no matter what the writer's age. She has a knack for transmuting perspectives and emotions of life to word and music.
Intermenater you are so right. Connie is far more than just another beautiful singer/songwriter, she has a heart and soul that is years ahead of herself and a decades ahead of the current industry. This girl is unequalled in the UK and maybe further afield.. She is simply pure class.
les cox I trully believe that Connies dedication for music and singing since she was very little has made her one of the most creative and deep musicians for the future.
I have never doubted her.
Her lyrics are very very good, her melodies are brilliant, she sings fantastic, plays piano really well now and guitar is not bad either.
On top of that she is not looking bad is she? And she has the most humble and down to earth personality.
What is not to like?
U are right. We remember Christina and appreciate connie. \|/
I am a few years too late but I just have to leave a comment after listening to it. The lyrics are so well written and the song itself is just perfection. If I listened to this song without knowing who wrote it I would have thought that a professional singer/songwriter wrote it.
It does not happen very often that a song makes me so emotional. If this is the case I know that it was written and sung by a true talent. Very well done, Connie!
Shows how emotion is how music is truly made, this is by far your greatest song and you wrote it within a few days; Christina lives on in this song
Your are absolutely right, we lost her way too soon. I watched here throughout the season she was on the Voice and then I her of her passing. I was saddened that such a young promising talent was taken from us so soon. Beautiful song.
Well ... I'm French and I didn't know about what happened to her, I'm shocked to learn it here ... She was not an artist I followed with fever but she was still a great singer and I listened a lot of her covers and songs, so it's sadly that I learn she is not among us now ... I hope she rests in peace and her family has my support too. Thank you for all you've done for her, Connie !
she got shot
She got shot at her own concert in Florida
23 It was at her own concert. She was greeting fans and the man walked up to her and shot her but that isn't the point. We lost many innocent people this weekend.
+23 it is after her OWN concert
Ya it was because he was a deranged fan who loved Christina and thought she was ganna marry him but he found out she had a bf and killed her then him so that she would be with him for ever she's in a better place now and yes she's teaching the angels now how to sing if u listen you may even hear them
Connie became to a wonderful Young Lady! Who agrees???? :)
I've played the piano since the age of 4 and now I am 16. With even a diploma in piano I still struggle to compose a song. Connie is not only beautiful inside and out, she is talented and an inspiration to me and I'm sure to all of you too. It fascinates me how she can compose such a great great song along with the chords that match perfectly together. Not afraid to say this is one of the best song I have heard and you have composed Connie!
This is the most beautiful song that I have heard for Christina Grimmie
Beautiful song Connie. I know she's smiling down on you.
Christina meant so much to me and was one of the reasons why i'm here on youtube
and why I started making covers. The past three days i've been crying, in shock, and absolutely heartbroken.
For the first time, I felt absolutely numb. I can't believe that's how she went. She seemed so humble and kind.
Rest in peace Christina :( Gone way too soon. Forever remembered.
How fitting that one artist pays tribute to another artist with the gift of music, and not just a song, but really a piece of your troubled heart. I hope writing this song helps you heal, Connie, because it's going to help a lot of others to do the same. Thank you for this.
Such a beautiful song put together, I'm in tears. What's happening to this world 😥💔
I love this song and you sing beautiful Connie ...😍
This is the most beautiful I’ve ever heard thanks so much for this Connie it’s beautiful
A tribute to an angel, from an angel..
So sweet of you. God bless you for it.
God is going to bless you for all you do to us through your music
I just had to watch this again. What a beautiful and heartfelt song. I hope Christina can hear your song in heaven. I know tat I feel the same way about Christina!!!! There will never be another person as incredible as she was in so many ways. A moth later, I still think about her daily and her family and friends. I can't fathom what they must be going through, A incredible person who was such a delight to millions. I loved Christina and miss her so much!!!!
Absolutely breathtaking. I don't really know much about Cristina so when I hear this song I don't think of her, but think of those people in Orlando. Our world doesn't deserve good people when innocents like those in that club are slaughtered just for being true to themselves...
This song is painfully beautiful...
Beautiful song a tribute Connie. I believe Christina is enjoying your song in heaven along with her angel friends.
Connie you realy got me with this tribute to Cristine. Love is what i feel, in the presence of your love, thank you for you. Howie T.
Such a very Beautiful song Connie! I cried so hard.. It's so sad what happened to her! But she is in a better place now! She is safe with the Angels now! 💖💖💖💖 You are also an Inspiration to all of us too Connie! You are such a Beautiful and Talented and Incredible girl with such a kind heart and soul.. You will continue to shine down here while Christina shines up above! I love this video Connie! Love the song too! You are truly Amazing! Christina will always be an Inspiration! She will always be Amazing and she will NEVER be forgotten! Her Spirit and her Memory will live on forever! I love you so much Connie!! 💕💕💕🎤🎤💞🎀💗💖💖
This song is pure, sincere, and heartfelt so beautiful sung Thank you Connie. And please take procedures to protect yourself at meet and greets. This is just so senseless that we lost her horrible!
Maybe Connie will not end up a singer because of this..Who knows.
Thank you Connie for this tribute to Christina Grimmie. Your song is really a beautiful song, God bless you!
So many people paying tribute to her, it made me realize just how big the impact Christina had on us. I hope she can see these people expressing their appreciation and really knew how loved and such an inspiration Christina Grimmie was.
Who would possibly be so heartless to dislike...
A part of me thinks how cruel is the world to kill a girl who only was living her dream, making her fans happy with her personality and her voice and then there's the other part who thanks to God 'cause exist people like you who only want to make this world a little better. #RIPChristina, I'm sure you hearing this in heaven. ❤🙏
I can't believe it's been 4 yrs since Christina passed. I never listened to any of her songs but I knew she was an amazing singer and a huge inspiration to thousands across the world. RIP Christina you are so missed😢❤️❤️
This song is beautiful and a perfect tribute. Christina was a great person! I love her music
