I am an old salt that built fishing boats and joined the navy. I am not ashamed to say I shed tears listening to this song. It's sublime and majestic
My father is a retired Naval Officer (Commander) and I spent most of my life around the water and did a lot boating/ sailing (we owned a 25ft sailboat). He sold it when I left for the Army (87-94 at Ft. Bragg). I miss the water and like you, I too tear up when I hear this song….from one Veteran to another…Thank You for your Service…..💪💪🇺🇸
my boys are in the navy, my dad taught me to sail and nothing can take the place of that free spirit amen!
God bless you & THANKYOU for your service!🥰
@@loris8586 You are very Welcome.
I can remember being abused my mom as a child, and feeling hopeless at times. She struggled with terrible fits of rage. My saving grace as an 8 year old child was my little league football coach, who knew nothing about my repeated abuse, playing this song in his car, driving me home after practice! I still love it till this very day!!! 🙏
❤❤❤❤
Jennifer Donlin yeah everyone is paranoid...
Good people still exist. They listen to Christopher Cross. 💯
God bless you, man.
@@jenniferdonlin6627 Stop focusing on the negative of todays society, This was an escapism for this person who was going through something traumatic.

I love yacht rock
Yes, my friend, music has no boundaries. Of any kind. Glad you are here
Who's still listening to this wonderful song this year?
Having been sailing before It’s a song that I identify with as memories of time spent on water under sail always come flooding back when hearing it.
I remember the irony of his being an anthem in southern AZ
Tu n est pas seul ! 🫡 cette musique est si intemporelle. Moi aussi quand l heure viendra je voudrai «sailing » sur cette musique .

I’m listening in the future♥️
I fell in love with my husband listening to this song. July 1980. He passed from pancreatic cancer 10 years ago. I hope he is sailing away in heaven and free from all the pain.
Thanks for your love and support I'll love to talk to you more better.

El espíritu te reconoce.
Being a kid in 1980. God a whole different world it was. And different for the good. This song. So amazing.
Sim é como!!!
I Agree 100% 🙂 Sigh....1980 I was just 7 then. I'd give almost anything to go back to this time and relive everything.
I was 15 and living in New York, this song is a virtual time machine ! ❤
I used to watch my parents slow dance in the living room to this song. They played this record over and over. When I hear it I’m instantly back there with Mom and Dad. I’m 46 now.
You saw your parents as human beings, like you are now. Often, we never or rarely do. Cherish that memory.
time goes too fast if we are happy and goes too slow when we are sad
Same!!!!!!!
I love your parents!
What a beautiful memory
A Friend of mine passed away today, i hope he's sailing through the green fields and mountains, i hope he touch the skies and dance in the wind, travel in the stars e find serenity, i hope he can find peace in the arms of the creator and i hope he can rest in peace.
Sending hugs!
One of the most peaceful songs ever recorded.
❤
i agree. reminds me of field of gold by sting 🤍
Which is weird because sailing doesn't seem peaceful at all
@@brisakruspe 000
I just put this song on and I know I could overcome anything thank you Christopher cross for your work of art.
I'm still listening in 2024😢
Oh memoriess...
Me too
Played at my mum's funeral, she passed away 3rd June from cancer and pneumonia. I love you so much and am so so greatful for the 31 years I had you in my life.
My daddy died last month and this was the song I chose for him I'm sorry for your loss .... I lost both my parents 4 days apart 😢
Much Love for your mum Hannah :)
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I’m sorry for your loss. This song always reminds me of my college girlfriend, Kathy. A wonderful person. This was her favorite song. She was diagnosed with an aggressive form of leukemia in January 1981. She died in April 1981. 3 months later. Far too soon. It’s been over 40 years now and I still think about it. Yes, I’m pathetic.
@@richardcarlino2958
You're not pathetic Richard. You have a kind heart and soul. God bless. 🙏 ✌️
I'm leaving this comment here so after a month or a year. When someone likes it, I'll be reminded of this song.
sail on!!!!
⛵⛵⛵
Come back!

I Hope To Be, Sailing soon!!!.
Many years ago, my father took my sister and I to Yosemite valley for a camping trip. We must have been 12 years old at the time. I remember looking out of the car window, gazing at the majestic mountains and water falls, the sweeping green meadows and the big blue sky. This song came on the radio and I soaked in the moment - it seemed the perfect soundtrack to the magical experience. Mentioning it to my dad, he instead turned off the radio and asked that we listen to the sound of the flowing water and wind, much to my chagrin. Years later, after putting up a tough yet graceful fight, he died of cancer . He told me at the time that he was not afraid of death, but of dying - because he didn't want to leave us with a bad memory of him suffering through the process. Instead, I saw him at his best, and witnessed just how strong, graceful and loving a person could be in the toughest of times. This song brings back such great memories of my father, and because he turned off the radio while this song played, it made the memory stick in my mind for some odd reason. And when the part of the song says, "Just a dream and the wind to carry me, soon I will be free," it really hits home. I'd like to think my father is out there, gliding effortlessly amongst those same beautiful mountains, waterfalls and meadows, and enjoying the moment with a smile on his face. I love you dad, and miss you every day.
A combination of a timeless great song, coinciding with a family trip in a beautiful & picturesque landscape. Which adds up to a treasured memory that you will forever carry with you, and can be relived whenever you hear this song. Priceless!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful memory. I wish you the best.
God Bless you…Memories are the gold in your heart.
🥲❤❤
That’s a beautiful memory to hold on to mate. Lovely touching words ❤
I was depressed in college. I decided to paint the sunset instead of think about dying. This song was on and colors flooded the sky and shadows of rainbow stretched across a lake. The stars began to appear. 🌟 I painted many important expressions over the many years since. I love life. I love my family. Music is very important to me ❤
Music is all you need very often. If you ever need any suggestions hit me up.
Life is family
I glad your alive and well. Stay strong!
@@brendenanderson6062 bless you sir.
That is a painting I'd love to own just based on your story behind it.
Reading the comments made my heart hurt. This songs reminds me of those good days as a kid but, I feel the hurt of the bad days too. I hope the pain in every heart is healed! ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you, I wish you the same. And let's not forget the animals.
My dad passed away this past week, this was his favorite song, all though it is very hard to listen to, today I needed something to remind me of him. his favorite quote from this song that indeed in the end came true was: “soon I will be free” my dad suffered from a very rare heart disease and had 5 open heart surgery’s, his first being when he was 13, he was always in the hospital and suffered from to much pain. He is now happy and at peace in his for ever home, heaven. I loved him very much and am happy to say his favorite quote and his wish are now true he is free.
So sorry for your loss.. you both were so fortunate to have each other in your lives🙏
LiveLoveRaw thank you! I appreciate that!😊
My condolences. I know what it’s like to lose a parent.
God bless. That's very tough to hear. I hope this song and message finds you doing well these days.
Very touching. Stay strong for your Dad, he loved you from heaven.
I lost my Mom two years back from Parkinson's DX and I still miss her so much.
God bless you
I'm Japanese, and I'm 18 years old. When this song was released, I was not born. But somehow I feel like as if I were in 80's, and somehow I feel very sad. But that kind of feelings are so comfortable to me.
The return of the samurai, when brother?
It’s a memory of your past life my friend. It sparks mysterious feelings from a life before
@@433Buckshot 😅🤔
You need better taste freind lmfao
When things are not going well for you take a seat and listen to this song sweet serenity will come over you
I woke at 4am this morning with this in my head. Why I have no idea why, but what an absolutely beautiful and wonderful song to be woken by and remember after so, so many years.
You rock Alison!!
Same happened to me today
Keeps happening to me also!
Same today
This is a masterpiece that will stand the test of time.
This is the most calming and peaceful song in history. It seems to put you in a quiet place.
It always has and does, right?!
agreed. i always put this on when i'm overwhelmed
He is just a beautiful beautiful soul
other relaxing songs: "sexual healing" and "lady in red"
It use to calm me down when i was a teenager! Dang, such a soothing song!
This song has aged well. Still loving it 40+ yrs later.
I wish I'd aged well
Same here..57 this year
Me toooo. I love this song.!
When I heard this song I was on my highschool days.. played by my Dad..until now I'm still listening to Christopher..I'm on my 40's now...and my eldest kid fell in love with this song...
This was the 1st birthday present I ever got from my dad. It was it is a tape of Christopher Cross actually it was a cassette single with this song and Think of Laura. I fell in love.I used to play it all the time. Now my father has passed away and I still love this song but it makes me sad.
The utter beauty of this song gives me chills. You can feel the wind on your face.
First cruise I ever took, this came on. I cried. One of his most beautiful songs to date.
Perfect !
❤❤❤❤
peter griffin?
I used to play this every Sunday morning for my mom after breakfast. She died Feb. 7 , 2021, a day before her 87th b-day...she absolutely loved this song even when it first came out back in 1980...R I P, mom.
Sorry for your loss
Be happy man..❤️
Treasured memories remain. Peace. Take care.
She is proud of you.
RIP to your mother.
This song saved me from depression last. I was at the lowest point in my life. I was crying and asking God for relief. Minutes later this song just automatically started playing, I looked up the lyrics and Thanked God. It was like a hug from above.
This grounds me along with prayer 🙏🏽 thank you for sharing ❤️
God loves you.
Me at this exact moment
God bless you
God Bless you hope you're doing well 🙏 I also suffer from depression and this song helps!
play lots of music , watch comedy -stand up is better , and whenever your thoughts leave you daydreaming ,smell some perfume to bring your concious back to the present ( advice I got )
Rest in peace, my little brother jimmy,may we see each other again.I love you.😢
A masterpiece - his Mona Lisa even.
One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
I think so too. His 2nd wife Jan, was a former high school friend.
Oh you are so right it is one of the most sweetest and soothing songs ever written and sung and the music. Just perfection
I agree. One of my all time favorite.
Absolutely!
It's my favorite song. I remember the first time I heard it in 1990.
My wife and I fell in love to this song in the summer of 1980 when we were just college kids.
Married in 1981, and 41 years later, here we are. Its funny how music transports me to times
in my life. Still gives me chills and wonderful memories as I look back and listen.
Wife and I love this song, married 41 years. We met in college as well.
God bless your life bro, this is was yours destiny
God bless your union forever
True love is surely hard to find. I hope to be lucky one day like y'all lovebirds...
Beautiful story - and music is magical. Nice soundtrack for your journey.
This song had the power to relax me in the darkest part of my life... Closed My eyes and sailed away
Same here ❤
Such good music. Timeless and priceless. As a trucker who drove for 28 years, I have cherished those songs so much. All alone on the highways and sometimes the rain and my windshield wipers and the sound of the tires and the engine combine with such good music is all that keeps me awake. As a foreigner in America, I couldn't help but remember my youth in St. Lucia when we used to go to parties and these songs would play. Life was so simple back then. Now times have changed and it makes me cherish these songs even more. The friends of mine who were at the parties all went to different parts of the world and started families and businesses of their own. I wonder, just wonder, what do they think of when they hear songs like these.
I'm American born and raised and grew up with great songs like this and the way it affects you is no different. It's what makes great music so special, timeless and universal. Unfortunately, the music industry has gone off the deep end in the last few decades, promoting total non-musical, meaningless garbage, in particular (C)rap.
They remember you and those times my friend.
Some of us Canadians feel the same, believe me wait and see. I used to have to re
Timeless and priceless indeed.
I feel the same, this man wrote a song for everyone, all paths. I'm sure your friends remember you with love.
Its rare that you can find a song that makes you feel it. Brings nostalgia almost immediately. Still one of my favorite songs
Many times when there's nothing to reach for, there is music.
Siii.... Me pasa que la escucho y me emociona mucho, me imagino caminando con mi marido en una playa infinita
Southern Cris
I know how you feel. I was 24 years old when this song came out. Different era.
Me too.
My son Leo passed away today. He was 22. Somewhere he is sailing on the ocean with the sun shining down on his beautiful face.
My condolences!!
sorry for your loss
So very sorry 🙏
❤️ hugs
I’m so very sorry for your loss
When you have someone you love in Heaven, you have a piece of Heaven in your Heart ❤️
May God bless you all and your loved ones always and in all ways, in Jesus' name I ask and pray, amen 🙏🏼 ✨️ 🙌🌹🎼🎶🎵🕊
He wrote this about his childhood with an alcoholic abusive father and how he found happiness with his friends father that was like a great father figure to him. He spoke about this on the Howard Stern show in 1995

@@bellebslife6504 no
I’m listening to this and crying. Funny how a song can make you think about your life like this and bring out every emotion
When you sail a boat, it is you, the water, the wind and the sky. All you can hear is the air, the splashing against your craft. One gets no closer to nature, to God. Yea, I cry too.
Omg so true. I’ve replayed this 5 times in a row now while I read everyone’s comments. It’s just one of those songs that will never get old and always touch the soul no matter how many Times you listen to it. I get chills each time. ❤️
Every time I play this song I have a peaceful feeling that comes over me & it reminds me how much love there is to give & to receive.
Beautiful song
DollyHolly2012, Music is "Funny" like that. It reaches a Place Deep Down that nothing else can. . . And That's a Good thing for those Lucky enough to experience it. . .
0% Sex
0% Drugs
0% Nudity
0% Violence
0% Politics
100% Great music!
What's so wrong about sex? If people didn't have it none of you would be here? Same goes for nudity, we weren't born with clothing, why are we so angry when a person isn't afraid to show their body?
And politics? Music has been an incredible vehicle for politics, Jazz, Soul, Funk and folk musicians were actively involved the Civil Rights Movement Movement. Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Frank Zappa, Marvin Gaye, James Brown, Kurt Cobain, Sam Cooke, Tupac, Willie Colon etc. all wrote incredibly important and beautiful social music that changed people's minds and hearts for the better! I've always disliked this narrow minded idea to box-in artists. To try and cut their creativity for conformist idea of "good" or "well-behaved". I love this song, but that doesn't mean it should be used blueprint to discard so many other interesting forms of musical expression.
@James ....LMAO
I love songs with all those things, and I love this song. Don’t turn such a nice song into a “uebegsv today’s generation blah blah” thing.
Nothing wrong with sex, sex is indisociable from love, well being and life. It is life, sex is at the start of life. I guess what he’s trying to say is this song manages to touch your soul and awaken emotions without unnecessary sexual stimulation like a lot of mediocre music feel like they need to use to catch attention
@@sogracie3420 THANK YOU! Finally someone who understands my comment!
WOW. This song, like to many others here listening, has a personal special meaning. But what astounds me even more, is reading what others are sharing here while I listen to the song myself.
Stories of loss, of love, of nostalgia. And a sense of kinship overwhelms me, of sharing something so special with others: The magical power of music.
It's so beautiful it brings tears to my eyes. And I smile and feel sad at the same time flooded with intense emotion, while those tears fall freely down my cheeks.
In the end, we have such a short time in this world and that no matter how the world changes around us, some things always stay the same.
How we affect those around us and the impact we have on their lives, how important love is, family, and friendship. Enjoying life to its fullest and sharing it with others.
We are all just traveling in different boats, sailing through the ocean of life. Sometimes we brave storms, and sometimes we sail on quite calm seas, witnesses to the most beautiful and spectacular sunsets.
That's just... that's just LIFE.
What's important is how kind, forgiving, and loving we are to each other when we do meet over our travels, because that is the only thing that remains as proof of our brief passage.
That is the legacy we leave behind as we disappear into the horizon, quietly sailing away.
Beautifully said!
Truly lovely - heartfelt sentiment.
"And now abide faith, hope and love. These three. But the greatest of these is love" Life is so short. Forgive, live, love, and find a life free from so much destruction......
In 2021 when I turned 50 my son surprised me and played this song on the piano for me- he had secretly practiced it for weeks- this song never fails to move me and now it will be even more special-
Aww...thats so cool.
I'm also 51. Growing up with 80s music was awesome.
@@chenes6879 I'm 61....just hit it 3 days ago...my daugter surprised me when she wanted to see Fletwood Mac ...Saw Stevie Nicks and them in AC in 2019.....your not alone.....we had the grace of having our kids get it....
Bless your son for him playing u such a classic,
Beautiful ❤❤
Thank you for sharing 😊
My father was a Norwegian seafarer from when he was 16 to when he finally retired at 68. This song allways makes me think of him, and being a lil boy riding on his shoulders, as he explained the stars and how to navigate by them, something they don't teach mariners anymore...he was the last of the real vikings, not the TV type.
It would be nice to learn traditions should always be cherish and pass on
I am pretty sure that your father was a badass. Beautiful story.
I'm pretty sure they do make mariners learn how to check the compasses and do morning and evening stars, these days. Apart from having to find the compass errors every watch, if possible, what happens if the sat. nav. goes down?
Love you, Mikey.
(Small world ... I was reading the comment and looked up at the name. God bless you and your family) ... I hope to see you again before I leave this world.
Love,
Stef
@@richardginger7212 : Thank you,Captain Jack Sparrow. 🤔
This particular song helped me through a difficult summer in 1980, and is easily the most beautiful song on this incredible album. Thank you forever Christopher Cross.
Is it only me but why do I feel like crying my eyes out when I hear this timeless classic …..
It's not only you, believe me. Halcyon days...
Even back in the day it had a nostalgic quality as some songs do. Even more so now with time so I know what you mean.
You're not on your own
Feels
This, and Ride Like The Wind, And Arthur's Theme (1981 movie) Best that you can do.
This song isn't just music. It's a vibe that makes you feel something. Takes you back. Now that....is the definition of quality music.
Oh exactly we should talk!
Yeah music actually made you feel something back then. Such a different time
@@orlandosmith4043 mmm
This one, yes, takes me right back to when I was a kid, so vividly. I remember the car ride upstate NY watching hang gliders from the parking area a mile below the cliff, I can still see it from so long ago…
Every time I hear this song it takes me back to my Junior high dance you're exactly right
it doesn’t get more beautiful than this.

The intro with the orchestra is just perfect, followed by the majestic guitar of Christopher Cross
I live on the southern tip of Texas. The Gulf of Mexico is about less than a hour away. When this song came out before I graduated college I bought the cassette and played this song repeatedly on my Walkman as I laid on the sand when I went to the beach. The song fit the island vibe so well. Every time I hear this song it takes me back to those days.
We are playing this at my Dad’s funeral this week. It reminds me of when Dad and I went sailing years ago. He was at peace on the yacht and this song really captures the time we shared together out on the water. RIP Dad
May his soul find peace on those calm waters
Omg that was my dads funeral song 🎵 as well he loved sailing ⛵ Sydney harbour and Pittwater brings me peace ✌
May he Rest In Peace; and you have a great memory to cherish.
R. I. P. To your Dad and Mine.

41 years later in 2021 - and it STILL just captivates my heart and soul. One of the best.
A damn good guitar player too. Lovely peace.
Indeed
And in 2022 has the same effect.
Nobody asked for your bullshit 2 cents
A good song, is ALWAYS a good song, no matter how much time has passed.
This was my father's personal favourite,it reminded him of his youth and would always have it playing somewhere. He passed away july 2020 in the midst of the pandemic. This song seems to always draw me back to him when i listen to it. He really was a good man
Sorry for your loss
Take. A kayak in the middle what ever your near and you will find a peace that you once had or will have. Peace ✌
Nah he still is a good man 💜
If I had to choose just one song, this is the most beautiful pop song of all time. This fellow, Christopher Cross, wrote a debut album that is simply mind blowing. Right out of the gate, he put out really gorgeous pop music that can never be topped. Not by him, not by anybody, I dont think. 44 years later, still the most beautiful sounding pop song I ever heard.
I miss you Kevin. We are dying w/o you. Dad is ruined buddy. I’m crying at the gym right now. This family is so empty w/o you. This song makes me think of you, sailing away in stardust. No more headaches, no more back pain. No more brain injuries. I love you Kevin. Always and forevermore.
I’m sorry for your loss.
❤️❤️
Sorry for your lost🙏🏽🕊
So sorry for your loss.
Please Kevin loves you so much.
God bless you all
Time will heal you beautiful girl. This life can be so tragic at times. Live for your Kevin and enjoy life before it disappears. There is too much life for you to experience.
LOVE THIS SONG!!!! SITTING AT MY DESK AT WORK WITH TEARS IN MY EYES REMEMBERING WHEN LIFE WAS SOOOO SIMPLE!!! I REALLY MISS THE GOOD TIMES!!!
This takes me back to the gulf coast on the beach with my family- my boys were so young- life was perfect ! Now..... not so much!
Pipe down, Karen.
i miss them real bad to , glad , we have youtube ! ,it helps bring back those memories !
We are in life exactly where we choose to be.
♥️♥️ 😘
Beautiful song. Takes me back to an incredible time in my childhood with the most amazing Father that a child could ever be blessed with. I miss my Dad terribly and this song always brings him close to me again.
Leaving this comment, like it so I can come back to this song.
What an original comment. Where did you get the idea for it?
"Soon I will be free" - as someone suffering from chronic depression due to difficulties that arise from trying to navigate a neurotypical world as a person on the autism spectrum, this particular line has several meanings to me, from hope for a better future to being one day released from my struggles through passing away.
💚
Exactly
SWEETNESS JESUS LOVES AND I DO TOO
PLEASE KNOW YOU ARE NEVER ALONE.. YOU CAN JOY AND PEACE HERE AS WELL.
JUST CALL OUT TO JESUS HE IS WAITING ON YOU
I'm on the Autism spectrum too. I never felt part of the "normal world" never fit in, never really felt connected to anyone 100%.
People who are on the Spectrum live in our own worlds and it's pretty difficult to let outsiders in our heads and hearts.
I consider myself half genius and half a fool. We just don't process social norms like most people do.
Embrace your uniqueness.
Yes, we feel alone, weird and very very awkward in most situations. But long ago I decided my "weirdness" was a gift and once you embrace that idea...you my friend..."will be free" .
Don't kill yourself...sell your unique..weird, and awkward beauty to the world.
You got one life baby...live it and enjoy the ride cuz it ends too fast.
A lovely comment. I’m suffering from severe depression myself at the moment but was brought to this song today as it reminds me of happier times with my dad who is no longer with me but remembering him on Father’s Day. Let’s hope for a better future 🙏
"The canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see." Some songwriters leave me in awe. It's so brilliant.
Some songwriters flaw you with 1 line, this is one of them.
Canvas as in sailing and also in painting..
Thats the very line ..yes yes this song ive been playing for the last 7 months takes me away....someday on a sailboat for real!
Agreed 💚
This 80's classic is 4min and 15sec of peace and tranquility..it won a Grammy for song of the year and I can understand why..this has got to be the most beautifully written and arranged songs ever..I'm floating on a cloud with nothing but peaceful thoughts in my everytime I hear this tune Thank you Christopher Cross for giving the world this song that will last forever and a day
I'm in my early 70s now, and this song has such a special place in my heart and will forever.
This is my daddy's favorite song. I remember playing this song in our radio in a cold night when I was a kid. Now that my dad passed away this year, I cant stop to cry while listening to this... even now :(
Oh my friend he is with you wherever you go, cry it out and smile that he left such much love in you. I pray for comfort and healing for you my friend ❤️ 🙏🏻
😭 I’m very sorry for your loss
So sorry. It is a very peaceful song so it does go deep in the soul.
I felt that in my soul , God bless you my love
Sorry to hear that may he rest in peace 🙏 and you got something to remember him
After graduation, a college good buddy and I took a road trip from California to Colorado in his drop-top Mustang. Not having lots of money, we mostly camped and ate at diners. But what a great trip it was to have wind in our faces and Sailing playing on the radio! We were free as the wind with not a worry in the world. Then came graduate schools and careers and we lost touch. Since then, I have taken many domestic and international trips, stayed at luxury hotels and cruised on 6 star ships. Yet I still consider that road trip as the best trip of my life.
Wow, you sound just like the narrator in the movie "Stand By Me"; he pretty much said the same thing about his friends that summer. The summer they went to see that body.
Brings to mind the television series ROUTE 66.
What a special time in your lives. I bet your friend holds the same memory. It would be good if you two could meet up again. I was visualizing your memory as I read it, for a moment I felt as if I were there too!
Amen brother
wow...thats beautiful
This song is a masterpiece. It takes me to a place of my dreams everytime I hear it.
My dad loved this song. I miss you pop
Everybody needs a little Christopher Cross in their lives right about now.
You never lied
Agreed
I hope to go sailing again soon! And this song is so amazing to listen to when sailing in the shore’s with family! Especially when going on a road trip, this song is perfect! ❤️
👍🏼✌🏼
💕
Nothing like a little Christopher cross to calm you down during a police chase all around LA 😌
Great scene lol
Fr I love that scene in ambulance movie
I was looking for this comment😂
@@jackspawn77771 Really was, this movie was impressively good for a Micheal Bay film.
in an ambo
Thank you I really love this song it brings back some beautiful memory's I glad there's someone out there that loves this song God bless you and yours.
You can hear a song so many times and it does nothing for you. Then you hear it and it hits you that it's one of your favourite songs. This is that rare song for me. Amazing, awesome 💪 etc etc etc. ✌️ 💖 🙏
This song takes me back to my childhood, a much better time in life.
Yes I understand what you mean music can be that powerful
I honestly thought this was going to be one those "dad" songs i would make fun of but i cant believe how humbled and wrong i was
Same, I miss being a kid
@@paisleyprincess7996 I never grew up...I'm just in an older body now
Me too! Gets me in my feels! Almost brings tears to my eyes. ❤️
As a child I was abused constantly. I was thrown outside naked at the age of 6 I would hide in a bush and cry. People would walk right past me in an apartment complex and not even look twice. It was a different time, a different age.
But, certain songs carried you through the roughest times. This is one of those songs for me. I will carry it with me for life. God bless you all.
If you are going through a hard time please reach out you are not alone.
Breaks my heart 🥺 I wish you well and I hope you're in a good place today with lots of love and peace. I wish you everything good in life. May the almighty ABBA YAH bless you abundantly ❤️
My heart breaks for you! It makes me want to give you a hug🤗 You are loved by complete strangers and not alone!
@@viksanton9643 Your empty platitudes praising a false god are of no use. You're going to Hell, just like everyone else who worships idols.
God bless you. I pray you are well. ❤
sorry. I too am also one of the weird people that wish peace and love to u all..
Im a metalhead lol but i remember as a kid hearing his stuff constantly right at the beginning of the glorious 80s, and being captivated... its amazing how music of the time, music i didnt even listen to then takes me back and it all brings a tear to my eye and a smile to my face.
As we learned from Rick Beato's interview, he actually was a metalhead himself and even subbed in for Richie Blackmore from Deep Purple. The only one who has ever done it apparently.
@@michaelcorbett4236I saw a reaction from Rick Beato saying the best Guitar solo was in "Ride Like The Wind" by Christopher Cross..
Not many songs take me away from reality. However, for a few brief minutes, this song takes me to a place where all is good and right in life. Love it.
This song takes me back to my childhood during the 80's. A time when life was much simpler and people talked to each other, face to face, for hours. If you needed answers, you rode your bike to the library and hung out with Dewey Decimal. The entire summer was spent at the public pool where the air was full of chlorine, kids were taking turns seeing how far they could swim underwater on one breath, and for snacks we had Mello Yello and Chick-o-Sticks. Riding my bike all over town because everyone knew everyone and we looked out for each other and didn't have to worry about getting snatched up or shot at. If you got in trouble, your bike was never fast enough to beat the phone call home to your parents and you were held accountable for your actions. No cellphones, no computers, no video games (unless your parents had money). We weren't allowed to sit in the house on a sunny day and we never ate a meal at home that wasn't at the table. My God, how I miss those years. I wish I would have realized how special they were.
Timothy young Amen!🦋
And you had to be home when the street lights came on. Saturday night at the roller rink. Dad will pick you up at 10pm.
@@b376010 - Oh damn! The roller rink was where it was at. Limbo contest and the hokie pokie. Thank you for that reminder.
I'm Getting Positive Vibes Out Of This Comment, God Bless!
You made me smile and remember.......🙋♀️👍✌💘
This was my uncle’s favorite song. He passed away a month and a half ago due to Parkinson’s disease. It 100% represents what he always wanted... to be free from the disease. It brings me so much peace to know that he’s in a better place and not shaking anymore. This song reminds me of that.
I'm so sorry. I had a similar experience with my own uncle, he had cancer and always wanted to be free from it and have a peaceful life again. He passed last year and I have dedicated this song to him.
I'm sorry for loss. He has get taste.god bless
Maddie such kind words with love ! sorry for your loss
This song truly enriches my life. It is beautiful and peaceful.
This song.... This song brings up so many memories for me good and sad. My brother was our Mom and Dad because our parents were on drugs and left us with everyone that they could think of. The most of the time we only had each other. It was scary,sad, lonely and sometimes it even made us sick but as long as we had each other i knew that we would be ok. I was the youngest and my brothers were older than me. And this song takes me back to the good parts. I do thank my brother for being such an awesome mom and dad because of him im a Mom of 2 beautiful children and 2 beautiful grandchildren and married to my high school sweet heart ❤️. Thank you Lord 🙏
My brother was a US NAVY veteran and this was his favorite song. He passed away in 2016 and it is fitting that his epitaph reads, "GONE SAILING."❤❤❤
Lo lamento mucho, que Dios te de la paz.
Omg! Bless him and you! 🙏
Rest in peace sailor ⛵🙏
"You can find tranquillity". I do hope the lyrics bring peace and joyful memories whenever this is played. It was my brothers favourite album and we have fond memories playing the LP even in his final days Respect to you and your family. Robert from Manchester
@@robertbest3796 Thank you! Yes, the song never fails to bring joyful memories and heartache as well. I'm sorry for your loss.
I always tear up when I hear this. My teenaged son played it a million times. The sound bounced off his bedroom walls. He is now 41 and a successful sea captain, taking customers far out to sea off Texas to catch some big ones. He feels "free" on the water, he says. It calms his mind.
There's no better thing than feeling free doing what we like
This song makes me ache for something I never had.... How is that possible?
Exactly, like a promise yet to be fulfilled!
Your comment made me cry.
I was born in the late 80’s but this is the first song I have memory of in my childhood! My mother had a music cassette with this song and this peaceful melody reminds me of my first house, summer days in the garden, my sweet mum and it brings me lots of emotions! 💛
This song is very calming to your soul. Timeless Artwork.
LYRICS (YEAR 1980):
Well, it's not far down to paradise
At least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away
And find tranquility
Oh, the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see, believe me
It's not far to never never land
No reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy
Of innocence again
Oh, the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see, believe me
Sailing
Takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
Soon I will be free
Fantasy
It gets the best of me
When I'm sailing
All caught up in the reverie
Every word is a symphony
Won't you believe me?
Sailing
Takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free
Well, it's not far back to sanity
At least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away
And find serenity
Oh, the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see, really, believe me
Sailing
Takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free
Great words😊❤
Thanks so much for the Lyrics😊

So soothing and beautiful. This man is underrated. Such a great musician.
Actually he's not. He's won 5 Grammys for this album. He also won an Oscar for Movie Theme song (1981 movie Arthur) "The best you can do". He's won countless Emmy's and Academy awards.
@@elianad2083you know what she means.
Ain’t no party like a tek knight party 😭🙏🏾

Well, it's not far down to paradise, at least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away and find tranquility
Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see
Baby believe me
It's not far to never-never land, no reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy of innocence again
Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see
Baby believe me
Sailing takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free
Fantasy, it gets the best of me

Yea
It's summer 1980 & I'm sailing from Falmouth to the Vineyard. The sun is high in the sky, a warm wind is blowing through my hair and this song is on the radio...
I am freeee ,.......after a long abuse from my oast people........
One of the best songs ever recorded and created.
I can listen to this amazing song at any given time and feel like I'm listening to the soundtrack of my life all over again. Such a great song to listen to on that lone dark night road while traveling across the deserts of the America west.
Priceless.
I love you so much my best friend and mum.., my world is shaken, not a day goes by I don't think of you or ever stop loving you xx
Reading the comments on this it just blows my mind that 40 years later this song is still relevant and how we are all now connected from this song and all the ways it has meaning for each of us. Crazy what music can do to the soul.
Every so often, a song is made that speaks to the human soul and consequently transcends generations. The beauty of timeless music.
Thanks for your continuous love and support Vanilla ❤️❤️
How long have you been a fan of mine Vanilla???
Music can save this world. I know it has kept me above ground many times. It brings you to a higher place. Imagine this world without music.
@TortillasAreNotBiceps-wr1jf If it wasn't for music I would definitely not be here. Without music there is no life only toasterbath
I remember in like 83' ish my dad would take me to the beach all the time...this song would always be on in the car..had a lot of fun...miss those days...miss you dad..r.i.p..❤
Reat in peace
@@Perched_2_Learn thank you!
Such a sweet melody 🎶….. reminds me of my husband who passed away in May of this year. We were married in 1980 the year this song was released. My husband was always out on the water. This morning I woke up with this song on my mind. I think he was sending me a sweet message. I can see him now on his boat fishing and sailing along the beautiful water off the coast of Florida…… Thank you for the memories and Thank you for writing / composing such a beautiful story ❤ @christophercross
I just wanna live in what this sounds like.
Heaven
One of the songs I grew up listening to....brings tears to my eyes....
I agree.
One of the greatest songs ever produced
I envy your life dude!
I don't know why, but listening to this song makes me want to cry and tell my loved ones how much I love them.
I feel the same way
The power of music...when it mesmerizes.This tune is emblematic of the wistful, flowing, fleeting notion of a lifetime.
This was my mother's suicide note she wrote every word, I was 8. I'm 52 now about to join her
3 months since you wrote that. I hope you are doing well
go ahead and tell them
I was abandoned by my mother and raised by my grandmother and at times when I was sad this song will come on the radio, so now as an adult every time I hear it, it takes me back to when I first heard it!
The smoothest song ever.
