Just watched a video whereby Cross explained that the song lyrics were a metaphor for life, not a seafaring experience, he was a flash-in-the-pan genius from the great state of Texas.
Christopher Cross wasn’t a “flash in the pan” - from his bio - “His music has garnered five Grammys, an Oscar, a Golden Globe, an Emmy nomination and five Top 10 singles.” The guy is still active today at 72 yrs old
I don’t know who you are but I was in college when CC hit the charts! He’s still performing so don’t see your analogy of flash in the pan. That implies he is gone but he’s still making music. His music is classics, not like today’s nonsense but pretty sure you will relay to my analysis. I’m still listening to his music after 40+ years. You sound a 20 year old incapable of objective reasoning, thinking and kindness- sad what this generation is producing, so much hate.
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
Almost 99% of the people I know would trade their best hunting dog to be able to play like that! Whatever you and/or your parents payed for guitar lessons, we're reaping the benefits of it! Thanks for sharing and God bless you!
i dont know of a guitar player that is better than you man... the phrasing, the difficulty.. getting every single idea of this song down on an acoustic guitar. its genius
Dude! This is the best rendition of this song ever. 100% guaranteed that Christopher Cross would approve of this. Well done. The work that you put into learning this song is on full display. So well done! 🤘🏻
Wow, that‘s really beautiful! I love that one can hear the fingerpicking pattern continuously while the singers voice is also played full. That‘s a masterpiece!
Utter perfection, beautiful. full of emotion, captures the spirit of the original and brings it somewhere new. You also capture the shade of sadness that lies just underneath the surface of this song too.Breathtaking.
With the covid sickness and hard and long recovery of Chris Cross this song has again come to mind You have played an excellent version You should be so very proud of your playing!! It’s a great song!!
Just thought you should know that we used this at my wedding as my bridesmaids walked down the aisle. You play it so beautifully! So thank you for sharing!!
Well i was going to try to learn this on my acoustic. I've decided to keep my job in pharmaceuticals and give up my dream of being a true musician. And just stick with what I know. 😮 That was great! Thank you.
Y'all wondering about the tuning..... just check his link for the tab, at least you can see the tuning directions and key check Guido's tab website, you can see the time signature and tuning direction: 1- Eb 2- Bb 3- G 4 - Eb 5 - Bb 6 - Eb
Wow, excellent cover of this magical song of Christopher Cross dear Guido. This arrangement is made with respect for beautiful harmonies. I like it very much. Well done. Musically Phil
Forever the best guitar in internet. Awesome, genius. Magnétic sound, pretty groove, and sweet flow. I like it absoluty. Wonderful. Congrat, dear Guido. So much professional your job. Fantastic really.
Sir, you made a very beautiful arrangement of this song. I hope I’ll be able to learn to play it eventually, though I’m an absolute beginner so it’s a long way there.
You are quite welcome ! I wish I could play half as good as you ! You are TRUELY GIFTED !! I could listen to you 24/7! No joke! Thank you for sharing your gift, I for one appreciate it! Keep them coming!
I don’t see how anyone in their right mind could ever thumb this down.? This is absolutely incredible. I watch a lot of guitar videos and this is one of the very best I’ve ever seen. Very nicely done good sir. Props on the guitar skills and thx for the upload!👍

no genius is just a flash in the pan...it is a flash of genius and never to be seen again...
To be fair, rarely is a song or book or movie actually about the surface level details, usually it contains some deeper metaphor

Watch Christopher on The Rick Beato show ,,he is a dude, it's a brilliant interview !!

Fingerstyle learning songs is twice the work. That's why i respect these guys!!!!
thank you... ;)
I have been playing for 25 yrs. that was beautiful. Love the song as did my late father. Great Great tone. Great arrangement played beautifully
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
