I'm 68...looks like I'll be sailing up to heaven soon to be with Jesus...life on this earth went by like a summers night dream... good times and bad times...it's okay to cry...and I do.. sometimes...
It was Oct 2nd 2018 and my father had been in the hospital for about a week after flatlining and losing oxygen to his brain. That night my mom had decided to spend the night in the hospital with my dad and asked if I can take her car to her house. It was during this drive, this song came on, and I was balling. This was one of my father’s favorite songs - and it was at that very moment, I knew he was talking to me through the music. I knew that night, my dad wouldn’t be coming back to us. I cried so much the entire drive to my mom’s. Just 2 short days later on October 4th 2018 at 10:10PM, he was gone. I’ll always treasure that moment I had with this song.
Oh man … so sad. My condolences. Your dad is still there but in another form. With this song he’s there. I always say that people died definitely when they are gone in the hearts of those who knew them. Take care.
Yesterday, driving home from a very bad day this song came on the radio. Been 25 years since I heard it last. I remembered how much I loved it as a kid. Instantly I relaxed and my sadness was washed away, for a bit. Music can do miracles. It can make you feel happy or sad but it always makes you feel!
Cette musique est apaisante pour notre âme … il serait facile de nous abandonner sur ce titre mais il nous faut encore lutter !! Le plus tard sera mieux même si cela est dure!!! Force à ceux qui souhaite abandonner face à la vie !! 🫡 kiss from France 🇫🇷
Never throw away a relationship where someone loves you with all there heart and soul. The time you've shared together the smiles the struggles the growing. Never let the temptations of sin ruin a great situation. Each of us have a beautiful song in our soul that will prove a blessing to many!
I feel the same about this song. Sorry for the loss of your father. I know that pain very well myself I just lost my dad in November. He was 73 fighting rare form of lung cancer stage 4 and he fought it for 8 months in remission tho recurrence was likely because it's a fast progressing cancer but he was killed in a car accident on his way home from work. He was such a fighter just for all that fight for nothing. But I've played this song so many times from the time he was diagnosed with cancer until his death. So this song only makes me think of him. I just sit back and cry my eyes out and think of my wonderful father. I love this song.💔💔💔💔💔
What a wonderful Son, the eternal nature built in ones self is of love. Through your existence he lives. And yes Christopher Cross allows a sense of eternal life. Travel well. Richard Christopher Hart.
Such a beautiful song. It always makes me so emotional it was the last song I played for my father when he took his last breath. I miss. Him dearly, but I know that now his is free.
I was just a young 20 yr, old Marine stationed in the Phillipines, when this came out, I bought the cassette and played it over and over..Missed my fiance and friends and home, couldnt wait to get back to the world...we called it..didnt have cell phones or computers back then... old school letters..I smile cuz this takes me right back..
Scott Woods it might be being the theme song for Arthur.Cause if you look up Christopher Cross Greatest hits Arthur's theme is in there same as sailing.
I remember I was 18 I had just joined the army in Puerto Rico the year prior and in 1981 sailing came out it won 3 Grammys amazing song my girlfriend and I at the time would listen to it waking up together in the morning; memories that's one thing no one cant take from you Thank you Christopher Cross
Thanks Chris for stirring up emotions from the past😌🥲.I’m 68 now and that jolts my precious memories when my dad would take us to the Santa Monica Pier and stay all day at the beach. Mom would bring deviled eggs and bologna sandwiches with koolaide for us. I miss my mom, dad, and my 3 brothers. They all sailed away up to paradise. Only my sister and I are left now. Our favorite place was Pacific Ocean Park, Cali. Back in the day before they closed that amusement park. Treasure each day with your family and try to take them to the park, the zoo, the beach, the lake, and museums. I hope they play this song when I’m dying so I can go in peace and sail away!
Amazing song..i feel emotional every time i hear this i don't know, maybe it's because we are aging and the more we get old the more we realize the value of everything in this world.
Donsky Musikero Agreed. It’s a well composed song, and gently rolls along....very soothing, with connotations of innocence, simplicity, and tranquility.
Thanks, Peter, for expressing your feelings. Touched my heart to know someone my age (71) still enjoys this classic as much as I do. I will be sailing with you some day. God speed.
On June 11, 1979, I met this lady that was San Diego, California. I took her out on the 15th. When I see this video, I daydream of sailing with her on the Pacific Ocean.
In 2001 my father brought a walkman for me and this song's CD from France. I still remember how happy I was. Now he's gone & I still listen to this song and think of him.. it's been 24 years now and it still seems yesterday... 😢
The opening 10 seconds those strings then that guitar its pure magic. And something about the phrase “the canvass can do miracles” has always enchanted me.
This song has so many wonderful memories of a happy childhood awesome parents..ive moved overseas now..but everytime i listen to this song im transported back home to beautiful memories..its bittersweet 🥹
Christopher Cross lyric, and voice voice was so sweet..How many people hear are listening to this song and having the greatest memories? This when music was sexy ..
I always find this song relaxing! Whenever I need to think clearly I find songs like this to clear my head and make good decisions. Even after more than 30 years I still love this song!!!!
Margaret Stewart I know I’m 4 years late, but I hope things are looking up for you. This song is a gem and I’m overjoyed to be in a world where people will hopefully always love this song. From a tiny little 12 year old boy You got this.
Planning my moms funeral & trying to find a song to go with her slideshow I thought of this song & came here to listen, when I was a child my mom & I used to listen to this song I was always taken away by how beautiful it was, I’m 21 now & this song will always remind me of her💜😔
My mom recently passed away she was 88, few months later my brother passed away behind her after my brother passing my brother passed away he went behind my brother and mom, I hear this song and I cry 😭 my sister passed away Dec 23-2008 at age 46 I miss them all, I’m still trying to heal but it’s going to take a long time for me to heal,prayers to everyone who lost a loved one 🙏❤️
@@Coreytaylorfan75 my mom passed away recently and 4 months later my brother passed and 3 months after my brother my other brother passed away, I so love the song❤️
My mom just passed away 2 months ago and I haven’t heard this song since I was a little girl…Friday this song just popped in my head and I believe in my heart that it was a sign from my mom that she is in peace 😢😢🙏🙏🙏
In 1980 I was working near the Mt. View,California Naval Station when this song came on the speakers of the Dysan Electronic Silicon Division. I was a Silicon Crystal Grower Operator.I was a lone Hispanic from Texas_ who was working alongside a team made up of Filipinos who had migrated to California looking for a better life. I really enjoyed their comarade working relationship. Salamat my friends where ever you guys are. And also Ms Rowena Larion rocks!
57 years old, I heard this song when I was 16. To this very day I still love this beautiful. To my good friend and all those good memories. I also love Arthur's theme.
I had to reply to this. I was also 16 when I heard this song. Listening to it takes me right back to 1982, a much more innocent and happy time in my life!
No matter your mood..this song will move you to tears..and you won't even realize it at first. Thank you for putting such beautiful visuals on this awesome song..
❤❤❤saw him in concert back in 1980..my husband and I went, and it was great, except the people smoking Marijuana. I was a goody two shoes. Still am.,.43 yrs married today..Valentine's Day!!
Allen Gibson one day when i was 10 my dad was playing this song while i slept and i woke up crying my eyes out. now its like 12 years later and i woke up thinking of this song. lol glad im not the only one.
This song really makes me feel closer to my son that I lost at five months pregnant three days before 9/11 2001 I really miss him. I love him so much my heart aches. I can’t wait to see him in heaven.
Oh the canvas can do miracle , just u wait and see ....I think everyone knows that fantasy is a recovery of every hurt , lovely lyrics and music christopher, god bless u
All my life it seems I have listened to this by it being one of my dads favorites I had no choice. Could never get why he loved it so much.... he passed away December 05 2010. And daddy I get it I get it now.
This is MY Time Machine, takes me back to better days, days of calmness and beautiful sights and sounds! When I get back to today, I wonder; Where are these artists, what are they doing, TODAY! NEVERTHELESS, I wish them well, Christopher Cross, Billy Ocean, Billy Joel, Michael Jackson, I've come to hear you once again! Blood pressure takes a nose dive!
This song was out the summer of 1980 when my two friends and I went from Wisconsin to California on a vacation. We took a boat ride out to Anacapa Island which was such a beautiful place. I remember all the gorgeous views and pretty wild flowers as well as the sea lions on the shore. This song always reminds me of that wonderful adventure. To this day if I hear this song on a cold winter day, I close my eyes and dream of sailing away to Anacapa Island. Ahhh, good memories!
I’ve loved this song since it came out. I haven’t sailed since my best friend and sailing buddy died 5 years ago but any time I hear this song I close my eyes and I’m back out with the wind and water. It’s now my go to song any time i need to calm my nerves. Love you forever Bob.
When my mother stole me away from my father and refused to answer questions about him an 8 track tape of this was all that I had to remember his existence. This song has always represented a dream of reuniting 4 me. Now I listen to it while Missing my Soul Mate and Dream of the two of us out on the open water with the Sunshine in my eyes and contentment in my Soul as everything comes full circle. Tell the people you love how you feel because one day they can disappear and you won't know if and when you'll see them again. From age to 5 to 11 I was left wondering about my Father. I finally found him and we were reunited and years later we found my half brother who was also kidnapped by His Mother. Life is a Trip Sailing is a Gift!!!! 💚💜🍀💜💚
THISLADYIS4LIBERTY Thank you for sharing that. I'm so glad you and your Father are now together.. A Father should Never be separated from his daughter 😇 👌👌
I remember being in my dads old station wagon and we were going to visit my grandma who lived two states above us and I remember how calm this song made me feel 😊It stuck with me its so beautiful ❤️ i miss those trips with my parents they are no longer together and I havent seen my grandma either 😢I miss the past some of it ❤
he captured it. the perfect loneliness. solitary. alone at night at sea with a sky so full of stars and clear fresh sea air. not on a timetable we get there when we get there. imagine the almost total freedom bliss. there can be pirates though. nothings perfect
I'm 61 and I have always loved this song, ever since it's release in 1979, I been listening to it off and on of course. I'd like this to be played at my funeral and my ashes scattered on the ocean.. what a great send off and I'll finally be a part of the ocean which I love, my second love.
Woke up in the middle of a night around 12:00 a.m. since I was thinking a lot and that got me into a very stressful night. Played this song and it puts me to me at peace. I am 31 years of age in 2024, Papua New Guinea. I recently came across this song while browsing through CZcams. This song has already become my favorite. I played it during silent moments to reflect on how far I have come and how far I will go on this life's journey. Thank you Peter for your masterpiece. This classic is sweet. ❤
I was 12 when this song came out, and I loved it and listened to it millions of times through my teens and early 20s..then as living an everyday life engulfed me, I rarely heard it. Now at 51 I love it even more than ever, such a beautiful song, such a calming song...thank you Christopher Cross, for giving me one of life's precious memories.
I was working at a radio station driving down the road and I heard this song come across the air. I immediately made a b line into the radio station and into the DJ that was on the air and I wanted to know all about this song. It's very rare a song will move me this much. Thank you for sharing it.
This song reminds me of my twin. (We are fraternal) He passed and today it played when I was really struggling. It’s three days before the anniversary and I’m moving away from a really toxic environment finally and this played in the heat of it all. I know it’s my twin. It took me back to riding in our old station wagon with my siblings to Zuma beach. It was our favorite place to go in the summer. Brought me back to that clear lovely moment of riding in the way way back with my twin. 💕🎶
Sept. 2021...music is my way of healing and escaping the reality of life..when i hear this song i just close my eyes and it feeks like my soul is flying...love the feeling..
This was the song my father used to sing to me when i was still in my mother's womb. Now i'm 22 years old, my father's still singing this song to me.
I'm 71 and have always loved this song - but as I will be sailing soon for heaven or the other place it is a comfort for my impending journey
I'm 50 - and GOOD LUCK to you, WHEREVER you GO!
May you all have the strenght you need everyday. God bless you. Long live!
so am i 71 dont know were the last 30 yrs have gone but loved this song from the first time i heard it
@@yhadsdumagat8076 You too!

I'm 68...looks like I'll be sailing up to heaven soon to be with Jesus...life on this earth went by like a summers night dream... good times and bad times...it's okay to cry...and I do.. sometimes...

I was telling my husband exactly the same… this song takes me somewhere else when I listen to it and close my eyes 😊
Never throw away a relationship where someone loves you with all there heart and soul. The time you've shared together the smiles the struggles the growing. Never let the temptations of sin ruin a great situation. Each of us have a beautiful song in our soul that will prove a blessing to many!
happened to me, deep regrets now..my partner took me back, I was lucky.
@@desertrose1226 it was meant to be ....you've been blessed my dear ! 🙏
Well said
My father passed away from covid in 2020 at the age of 75. This song reminds me of him so much. Not one day goes on that I don't miss him.
I don’t know you ..however I am saddened by your loss..I’m just getting over covid ( Thank God)..you’ll see him again in Heaven🌹
My father died when he was 75 in 1989. I still talk to him now. Sorry for your loss. I cant say it gets easier. Because for me it hasn’t.

@@richardclark1333 lol... I said I was 20...see songs about bad relationships...yep...
How long have you missed your wife for?
One of the most beautiful songs ever written. Hands down.
This song gave Christopher cross his fame he wouldn't be famous if it wasn't for this song.
I truly believe this to be true 💓
Pretty sure Arthur's Theme is just as famous as this song.
Scott Woods it might be being the theme song for Arthur.Cause if you look up Christopher Cross Greatest hits Arthur's theme is in there same as sailing.
J. Tracy so true

Every time I feel lost, this reminds me of my direction. Momentarily takes me away from my reality and restores hope.
😢
Almost crying ... ♡ perfect song. Thanks Christopher Cross for this gift.

Always liked Christopher Cross. Listening this type of music transport me back in time when I was much younger.
This song makes my heart skip a beat. 💓 😊
I’ve loved this song since it came out. I haven’t sailed since my best friend and sailing buddy died 5 years ago but any time I hear this song I close my eyes and I’m back out with the wind and water. It’s now my go to song any time i need to calm my nerves. Love you forever Bob.
i love this song, since i came to canada, 1978, i guess im a romantic and always will be❤
I’m 35 listening this ballad in 2024 and it’s just soo beautiful 💜
This song has been everything to me all of my life. 🥰 always makes me cry to listen to it..but makes me also think of all the good times in life..
Listening today ❤😢 I don't know but it seems my last day thank you for the memories
Thank you Lord for lending me your strength everyday. I will always dedicate my self to you. 🙏
When my mother stole me away from my father and refused to answer questions about him an 8 track tape of this was all that I had to remember his existence.
This song has always represented a dream of reuniting 4 me.
Now I listen to it while Missing my Soul Mate and Dream of the two of us out on the open water with the Sunshine in my eyes and contentment in my Soul as everything comes full circle.
Tell the people you love how you feel because one day they can disappear and you won't know if and when you'll see them again.
From age to 5 to 11 I was left wondering about my Father.
I finally found him and we were reunited and years later we found my half brother who was also kidnapped by His Mother.
Life is a Trip
Sailing is a Gift!!!!
💚💜🍀💜💚
God bless your soul
An 8-track? Really?

MY FAVOURITE SONG!!!!! Heard this song for the first time in 1990 on a Time life album called Always and I just fell in love with it.
I'm 72 and I to like this song and all others of Christopher Cross. He was a great song writer and performer.

A classic one! Love it ❤
My favorite song...make me fly away, and transport me to heaven!! Thanks Christopher.
This has got to be one of the most chilled records ever released.
I love daydreaming while listening to this song.
Daydream believer ....☺
Who knew that Chris was friends with Brian and Carl Wilson?
THAT'S the FIRST instinct - I was using my RIGHT arm like a conductor's BATON with this song (lol)
@twinkle mae Me too, it's the hopeless romantic in me.
Show me that muff
one of the best song in my teens and until now christopher cross is a legend
I remember being in my dads old station wagon and we were going to visit my grandma who lived two states above us and I remember how calm this song made me feel 😊It stuck with me its so beautiful ❤️ i miss those trips with my parents they are no longer together and I havent seen my grandma either 😢I miss the past some of it ❤
I don’t care what anyone says!!! But this era in music has and had the best time for love songs!!! Great song
he captured it. the perfect loneliness. solitary. alone at night at sea with a sky so full of stars and clear fresh sea air. not on a timetable we get there when we get there. imagine the almost total freedom bliss. there can be pirates though. nothings perfect
I'm 61 and I have always loved this song, ever since it's release in 1979, I been listening to it off and on of course.
I'd like this to be played at my funeral and my ashes scattered on the ocean.. what a great send off and I'll finally be a part of the ocean which I love, my second love.
Thanks .My favorite song with pina collada from my Florida days .
When i listen to this music, brings me the feeling of freedom! Christopher Cross, thanks!
This song is beautiful gives you the imagination of being free from all daily worries.
Thinking of all the different possiblities of now and after.
One of the the greatest songs I've heard. It triggers so many emotions. Hope, faith, wondering about the unknown.
I completely agree. This song soothes my soul. ❤
Probably the most beautiful song i ever heard in my life. Ever.
I will always love this song. Had for years and more to come.
It's already 2021 yet I always find this song trully a masterpiece.
Woke up in the middle of a night around 12:00 a.m. since I was thinking a lot and that got me into a very stressful night.
Played this song and it puts me to me at peace.
I am 31 years of age in 2024, Papua New Guinea. I recently came across this song while browsing through CZcams.
This song has already become my favorite. I played it during silent moments to reflect on how far I have come and how far I will go on this life's journey.
Thank you Peter for your masterpiece. This classic is sweet. ❤
When you are happy you enjoy the music , but when you are sad you understand the lyrics ! Take Care Sylvia 😂
I was 12 when this song came out, and I loved it and listened to it millions of times through my teens and early 20s..then as living an everyday life engulfed me, I rarely heard it. Now at 51 I love it even more than ever, such a beautiful song, such a calming song...thank you Christopher Cross, for giving me one of life's precious memories.
2019 & does anyone get the goosebumps from this song?
Me too
Yes
yes
Haha! Glad to know!
High vibrations
I was working at a radio station driving down the road and I heard this song come across the air. I immediately made a b line into the radio station and into the DJ that was on the air and I wanted to know all about this song. It's very rare a song will move me this much. Thank you for sharing it.
That guitar melody is pure magic inside my ears. Outstanding !
"...just a dream and the wind to carry me - soon I will be free"....
@St Cam STUDY THE BIBLE

I think I could AGREE with you here!
True Dee Dee. Number 1 relaxing song of all time.
Exactly
This song reminds me of my twin. (We are fraternal) He passed and today it played when I was really struggling. It’s three days before the anniversary and I’m moving away from a really toxic environment finally and this played in the heat of it all. I know it’s my twin. It took me back to riding in our old station wagon with my siblings to Zuma beach. It was our favorite place to go in the summer. Brought me back to that clear lovely moment of riding in the way way back with my twin. 💕🎶
I'm mother to fraternal twins. I can't imagine what you must be going through😢
@@annabizaro-doo-dah it’s not been easy. As a mother of twins you know. ❤️
❤
God Bless you, your twin will be with you always, he's in your heart ♥...take care Hun....🙏💯👋🇬🇧
One of thee most beautifulest song a song writer is ever written (sailing)
I believe this to be the most calming & comforting song ever written
Sept. 2021...music is my way of healing and escaping the reality of life..when i hear this song i just close my eyes and it feeks like my soul is flying...love the feeling..
