I wasn’t born when this song came out but have heard it on radio stations. Every time I hear it I picture myself living back then when it first came out
If you watch any of the other Christopher Cross videos featuring "Sailing," you will appreciate how consistent and true he is to this song. He never sways from its beauty. He's a true music genius.
Just learned now that my younger brother who has autism loves this song, I played this video, and asked him to sing along w/ it and although he's shy sometimes, he sang it in front of me! I silently choked up inside and wanted to cry.. there is something about this song that touches his heart and soul.. it's a timeless classic. ❤️
I love how he looks like a high school football player, then he starts singing this delicate, nuanced song... it's kind of magical how that first impression just dissolves.
People definitely criticize his look but I have to say... 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 And 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. 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
"In February 1981, soft rock staple Christopher Cross found himself up for six Grammys, including the so-called “big four”: album (for his self-titled LP), song and record of the year (for “Sailing”), as well as new artist. His competition, especially in the album of the year category, was stiff and included Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, and Pink Floyd’s masterwork “The Wall.” And yet, against all odds, the 29-year-old Texan took up a permanent position at the podium, collecting all four of the top Grammys, and a fifth one for arrangement." -Variety
My younger brother dying brought me here. His name was also Christopher Cross . 😭😭😭😭😭😭33 years old Cancer. Today is 11 year anniversary. I miss him soooooooo much😭😭😭😭😭😭
He's a Texan, He was in his 20's, The Oilers were arguably the best team in the league with the best player he was repping, he was on cloud 9 because he made it. It's really not that hard to fathom why he reached for that jersey in jest and exhilaration.
Flying down the highway in my first car, in 1980 with no seat belt on, Windows wide open, I just turned 19. This song came on, I started to Thank God, for what was in my future. I want to Thank God for keeping me these 42 years and letting me have a future.
When this beautiful song came out in 1980, i was 19. Today i am 58. Luckily life turned out good for me. Still, when i am alone, i go back to this song and i am back in heaven.
In 1980 I was 19. I joined the military and I remember listening to Sailing in basic training as we were polishing our boots. Every time I hear this song now it brings back great memories of friends made at basic training.
You guys were all in your late teens when “Ordinary People” came out (Best Picture 1980). I turned 19 in 1999 and that movie had a big impact on me. Some works of art, like this song, transcend time.
Shann Maddox yes I remember going to see OP in the theater shortly after it’s release and remember thinking that Huttons performance deserved an Oscar.....and he got it!
The single most nostalgic song from my childhood. I somehow remember my Mom singing this song to me when I was very young. Always will have a soft spot for this song.
I remember when he won...I believe it was BEST SONG OF THE YEAR.. I can't remember the year... but, I remember jumping up and down... like I won the lottery... I was so happy for him... I was so in love with this song...
Thank you so much❤️ Your support is what keeps me going, so in return I've decided to give something back to my fans by setting up an interactive community and I would love you to join. It will make me happy. Write to me directly on my Gmail that you you see on my discription...
Still listening in 2022? This was one of the first complete albums my Mom played...I liked it so much I borrowed it and must've listened to it 20 more times before I gave it back. She had such a wide, varied collection- this was the 80s you understand; her collection was mostly 60s - 80s, but with some classical stuff thrown in for good measure. To date this is one of my favorite albums from the 70s...when you listen to something that has the ability to transport you somewhere else...well, does it get much better than that? Like a really good book, this album stands the test of time.
This is a song that does always brings relaxation and peace in my soul.....O how I love it.....thank you Christopher.....I am a big fan of you and your music.
This song tortured my mind until I found it. Im 15, but years ago I heard the word sailing in flushed away, and the voice just immediately made me fall in love. I had no idea that one second could affect my soul in such ways.
I was on a shrimpboat for five years with Captain of my heart. He passed away in 2012. Not a day goes by that I dont miss being in the middle of the ocean for two months at a time with an exciting destination up ahead. Nothing but the sea, the sun, the moon, the stars, the milkyway, the fishing, and the peace. Who could ask for more?
December 2028 - Not just watching and listening, but appreciating this man's talents and quality writing more than ever, just like I did waaay back in Dec 2019.
I went sailing a long time ago with a family in Northern California, the Buckinghams. I think I only met them once or twice but it was the time of my life as a young boy. This song is dedicated to you guys. Thanks so much for that day. :)
I TRAMPLED MY BRAIN trying to find the name of this song. All I kept googling was "take me way no no no no". Nothing would come up. I finally wrote "feelings take me away no no no no" and this came up as one of my choices. You have NO idea how accomplished I feel right now.
This song is such a beautiful song it brings back so many memories this song is 🔥 still to this day 2020. This song always makes me feels good in every way👏👏🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🎼🎵🎶
I thought he was a beautiful person with the most BEAUTIFUL voice. I met my soulmate and we fell in love listening to his first album and married 40 years ago. Thank you, Christopher, whoever you are. All your music was fabulous and so is your soul. ❤
My boyfriend was a sailor and loved this song. I play this in remembrance. He had a severe stroke in 2017 and doesn't live with me as I couldn't take care of him. But.....he loved this song...
Great Memories From The Summer Of 1980. The late 70s and early 80s were the greatest era for music. It was a sure bet if you turn on your radio you were always guaranteed to hear good music. Now I won't even go near a radio.
This beautiful song brings we such sweet sorrow. I experienced for the first time the death of a classmate in 7th grade from a terrible accident. This was his favorite song and so fitting to play at his funeral as it was beautiful. From time to time I remember back to that young boy and the full life he did not have the opportunity to lead. I try to cherish my life and my loved ones.
One word: TALENT! This is without a doubt the best way to describe how talent feels and sounds. Even though English is my second language, just by listening to his voice and the instruments with such unparalleled harmony and passion you can feel music the way it was supposed to be enjoyed regardless of the language barriers.
My soulmate of 40 years and I fell in love listening over and over to his first album. He's a gentle man with a BEAUTIFUL voice and a FABULOUS soul. Thank you, Christopher, wherever you are. We loved you and your music and still do. 😃
Love this song. It takes me back to the great times on our boat. Beautiful Michigan lake, fresh air, and no cares, out on the water. Just the music filling the air. Now he’s gone but we had 34 years together. I can close my eyes and still be there. Memories are a gift. Love you J ❤️ Hug your loved ones.
You're really presumptuous to assume all music is like that when you have to search for what sounds good and if they use autotune so what if people like it let then it's not hurting you and it's not like you're actively searching for modern hits
Doug Elick there were still pretty faces with next to no talent making it in the industry back then, maybe minus the auto tune, now it’s just more mainstream,. don’t be delusional
l love this music it reminds me of times were life was prure when people respected one another when people were happy a time when you loved life and what it had to offer I feel so blessed to have grown up in those days our generation knows what I'm talking about
Rebecca Thornton Agreed. First time I heard this song was on the 17th Floor of Watterson Towers, I was 18 First Semester in College, with a 26 year college roommate (Partied to much lol, to him a few extra years). I thought it was crazy to stay that long, “Stupid Me”. First Coed Floor, 12 hot straight from high school Rich family girls and 12 common guys. Booze permitted with at least 1 person. in room 21, no smoke alarms and my roommate showed me a thing call a “joint” lmao. He play that record and look out over the Campus by the huge window. I loved that song first time he played on Record player. The Ladies finally after having to follow the nerd rules got to experience life to that song. Sweet memory I had forgotten.
Brilliant song and it brings back memories when I used to go to a pub in Liverpool called the Hanover and this song was played all the time on the juke box and that's how I became a big fan of Christopher Cross he's just brilliant and this song is one of the best of all time.
Brings me back to where I need to be. Thanks so much for posting this song. Sometimes we are in control of our destinies, sometimes we just need to let go, ride it out and know we will be ok.... if the wind is right.
I was born in 1997 and I gotta say the music of before, specially this guy is so much better than the music of today, those were the days of good music, Metallica, Chris Cross, Air Supply, Elton John, Michael Bolton, those and many more, were and still are good music!!!
Franklin Taylor I didnt mean he was badly dressed.Just that rock and pop stars did things more down to earth and casual back then.Not like all the junk that Justin Beiber and Lady GAGA do and wear that kind of takes away from the music(if you even call the unmelodous stuff they put out music today)
that's amazing. he's sporting a genuine, 100% nylon, made in the usa, silk-screened, powder blue sand knit jersey of the legendary earl campbell! i've been looking for that damn jersey for many moons! good song too. and he's a texan like all my family in my tribe's home state!
As a Briton, I would like to say that he's one of the great US icons of my childhood-the ones that showed us that we were on the right side in the Cold War, and that we would win it regardless because we had Chris and his friends, and the goodness of the US that gave us hope in those dark times. God knows what happened since then, but at least we still have Chris et al and the memories of the happiness during those troubled days.
Adam Welton no one could have wrote it better, man. i'm sure plenty people in the u.s. feel the same way about the beatles and bee gees being from the UK and all. the goodness of the u.s. is more rare now than ever before. i hate to say it that way but i've been around in this country long enough to know that are greatest days are behind us. i wish it didn't have to be that way but that logic does explain why so many people are desperate for the old america to return and are willing to vote for Trump for that cherished U.S. past.
This song is PURE MAGIC!!!!! Well deserving of every Grammy award it won. This IS the definition of a TIMELESS CLASSIC. Possibly the greatest song ever, at least on my list. 1980 was the best year!!!! Thank u Christopher Cross for creating 4 minutes of pure magic.
Remember listening to this song when I was 11. I lived on lake Washington Blvd in Seattle, Wa. Where ironically I enjoyed watching a lot of sailboats passing time during the long summer vacations with my sister 😊
Karmen Hughes I lived on lake Washington Blvd too when I was younger, except I was in Kirkland side of Lake washington. I don't know if we're similar in age or not I just turned 40. Time sure does fly it almost brings tears to my eyes.

40 years ago this month this song was at #1 for one week. Say what you want but this song is timeless for those of us who grew up back then.
Agreed!
One of my favorite songs. I can almost see myself on the boat as a child listening to this song.
He has a beautiful voice and the lyrics and.musiic are tied together for a great song !
I remember it well sailing Peconic Bay in my Morgan 30
I wasn’t born when this song came out but have heard it on radio stations. Every time I hear it I picture myself living back then when it first came out
I could listen to this song over and over and it never gets old.
Me too
I don't know what to say
How do you listen to the song that I'm just listening to on my telephone and why do you apply
yeah me too! its a good song!
It never gets old
If you watch any of the other Christopher Cross videos featuring "Sailing," you will appreciate how consistent and true he is to this song. He never sways from its beauty. He's a true music genius.

Tears here… thank you for that beautiful share!
I love how he looks like a high school football player, then he starts singing this delicate, nuanced song... it's kind of magical how that first impression just dissolves.
People criticize his look but I have to say ... there is something charming about someone who looks like people you would know in real life.
whose team jersey is he wearing?
Mike Haenelt Houston oilers
L)lll))p opp 3
Cute and real
People definitely criticize his look but I have to say...
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
And 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.
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 deserved in my opinion
@@donteven5712 no one asked for your shitty opinion of what you think of song. Take your negativity back into your moms basement.
@@elissitdesign He probably listens to Billie Eilish and cuts himself...
Lost my mother this morning 😔. She went peacefully in her sleep.. Only song I could think of for comfort.. God Bless ❤️
Sorry for your loss God bless her
I lost my mom almost 7 yrs ago that was one of her fav songs
God Bless You!
🙏🏻♥️
RIP To YOUR MOMS ❤️🙏🏻
My younger brother dying brought me here.
His name was also Christopher Cross .

So sorry for your loss..what a beautiful song to remember him with..bless you.
Wishing Christopher Cross a full recovery from this Coronavirus.
Another great song my mom loved 😢
Sending tons of prayers to you Handsome!!! Get well soon!!🙏🎚❤🐒
which sleeper believers in coronavious???
Is he okay? I never knew
@@nonameshawty1869 he survived the virus but he now uses a cane I believe. CORONAVIRUS is no joke.
Smoothest song ever.
The Eagle's "I can't tell you why" is right there with it.
Real beautiful
He is a wonderful singer !!!! I don't care what anyone says about this marvelous man !!!!
Happy Heavenly Birthday to my dad.. he loved this song
I remember not getting enough of this song, hearing it, when it hit the radio. The soft simplicity of his voice along w/the melody=AWESOME.
Totally agree with you.
foi tema de uma novela brasileira,
So true we were lucky to live that magic moment
@@luislizard2626 weren't we lucky? will always love e the era I grew up in
I totally agree with you, he is an amazing singer !!!! Just love him !!!!

May 5, 2019 and that just happened with me..
Wow....i was dreaming about this song and boom 1:56am here i am....😎
It happens to me too
Same as fuck at 5:30

God, Chris Cross in an Earl Campbell jersey singing Sailing. Best video ever
I love the jersey. Real human singing a song honoring a real human being that played real football.
that jersey brings back memories of the great Earl Cambell running over my beloved Cleveland Browns defensive line.
Hell yeah he's a texas boy san antonio to be exact
I love his look. He looks like a guy who would fix your fridge or help you jump start your car. Greatness
Or get you to sail!
Or the guy who is always told by a restaurant, "sorry we're out of broccoli and cheese. Tuna hasn't been delivered and milkshake machine is down"
He's a Texan, He was in his 20's, The Oilers were arguably the best team in the league with the best player he was repping, he was on cloud 9 because he made it. It's really not that hard to fathom why he reached for that jersey in jest and exhilaration.

I remember this song as a kid. Brings back so many memories of my grandparents.
How long have you been a fan of mine Malinda MooniePie Cain???
This is song is so relaxing.

we all turned out good. woudnt change a thing
Heard that. I was graduated from high school and remember cruising down the highway in my car with this song playing that whole Summer of 80....
You guys were all in your late teens when “Ordinary People” came out (Best Picture 1980). I turned 19 in 1999 and that movie had a big impact on me. Some works of art, like this song, transcend time.
Shann Maddox yes I remember going to see OP in the theater shortly after it’s release and remember thinking that Huttons performance deserved an Oscar.....and he got it!
This wonderful song make me a little bit sad thinking when I was a child and everything was easy and beautiful. Many memories in my mind.
He pulled me thru in 1980 to get a fabulous career in the motion picture business for 42years And the song still feels fresh for my retirement
This is such a beautiful song, and Cross's voice is so distinct. Beautiful, calming and timeless.
This classic will live on forever and a day
36 years ago! Where in the hell did time go?
I KNOW. So Sad. SORRY.
lol true great album tho i still play it.
Time didn't go anywhere.We are the ones who are fading into the sunset.
God I hate to admit it, but you are right onn
46 in a few weeks.
The single most nostalgic song from my childhood. I somehow remember my Mom singing this song to me when I was very young. Always will have a soft spot for this song.
Relaxing to this 80's music in 2019!
I was 10 years old and remember this song like it was yesterday. It feels like home, like a hug, like peace!
Thanks for your continuous love and support Amanda Thomas ❤️❤️
brings back memories when I was at my dads house so many memories sometimes it hurts to remeber those days cause I miss that so much
+Victoria Riso Memories are a wonderful thing. Embrace them and those people will live forever!
Ik I will embrace it forever
Me too I was about 13 when this song came out.
+RUMad3 respect
This song can bring to another state of mind,kind like bliss...
How many artists today can go on stage live and sound so much like the recording?
This was the smoothest song ever of the early 80's.
Michelle Jackson the last part of the 70's too!
Smooth as silk
@@richardwalker663 Michael me thinks
I remember when he won...I believe it was BEST SONG OF THE YEAR.. I can't remember the year... but, I remember jumping up and down... like I won the lottery... I was so happy for him... I was so in love with this song...
Best song ever ....i still love it
As he should have
1981 I believe
This is one of the most memorable mellow songs of the 80's. A real classic.
100% PURE NOSTALGIA. ( Why did those times have to be robbed from us? )
We thought computers would never take over..... we just let it happen
Because everything moves forward
Darkton80
You were robbed of nothing.
If you didn’t take full advantage and live for those moments, it’s on you.
Because as someone once said "Youth is wasted on the young."
Your illiteracy is disturbing.
This guy is beautiful. I don't care if he's wearing what he woke up in.
He gives me nostalgia.

Sailing is such a relaxing song. Christopher takes me where I want to be. I can feel the wind and the sea spray.It is a majical voyage !
I honestly want this song played at my funeral!
+Pritchette Deaton Dont you know there is life after death....
+hector vega of course there is "life" after death. I believe in eternal life & I'm a Christian 😀 I just really love the song..its meaning.
Me too
You should have a viking funeral then

Sad news, just saw that Christopher Cross' legs are permanently paralyzed from Covid-19. God bless you and thank you for such a beautiful song
Life's been hard lately. The passage of time.....loved ones gone and living alone......and then this song came to mind. Miss you terribly Mom.
I miss my mother with her 💔 22years and caregiver her last 6 years

My heart goes out to you , lost my mum this year . Enough said really x
From the other side of the world, who ever you are? Just a gentle touch to your heart you will be ok. I have lost love ones aswell.
You'll be okay
Timeless & Classic 🎵🎶, It makes you cry and HAPPY 😊
The name of this song takes you sailing through a personal special place. Real music, real artist. What a beautiful space in time.
This song tortured my mind until I found it. Im 15, but years ago I heard the word sailing in flushed away, and the voice just immediately made me fall in love. I had no idea that one second could affect my soul in such ways.
One of the greatest songs in any genre ever. Period. Oh man I miss the 80s
Wow! love those eighties memories....sigh, wish I was A kid again.
This is my childhood song and to this day it brings me peace whenever I’m troubled ♥️
You'll be okay

@ Stevie Ray Vaughan`s famous guitar belonged to Christopher Cross at one time.
This ages so well. A masterpiece of guitar work, too.
Christopher Cross at the height of his powers. Super awesome!
I went sailing a long time ago with a family in Northern California, the Buckinghams. I think I only met them once or twice but it was the time of my life as a young boy. This song is dedicated to you guys. Thanks so much for that day. :)
I don't know why but this song makes me cry
+Philippe Normandin me too...tears a little
I love this song, makes me feel sad too though.. & think back to when I was little
Philippe Normandin know the feeling
Nostalgia
The good ol’ days
Doesn't have to be a reason, I get it x
It’s because it moves you.
I TRAMPLED MY BRAIN trying to find the name of this song. All I kept googling was "take me way no no no no". Nothing would come up. I finally wrote "feelings take me away no no no no" and this came up as one of my choices.

Lots of us unfortunately have a similar, vague, memory. I'm glad we have the same trigger to not forget...we were the lucky ones.
I heard this sailing through the red sea. It was magical.

November 2019. This song continues to rank as one of my all time favourites of all time.
The 80s... a magical time when a football bro could confidently express his sensitive side. Beautiful song
This song brings back beutiful memories of being young , I hadn’t heard it in years , then it just hit me and took me straight back to the 1980,s.

The first time I discovered this song when I was a teenager, made me cry. Such a beautiful song.
+Elecktrfy pure bliss..
this is great stuff. reminds me of my childhood haha.
aaahhh, me too! When did this song come out exactly?
i think it came out in 79'
Timeless classic.

What a genius, with the blend of instruments and the beautiful images pictured in my head inspired by the lyrics. lovely...
This song makes me feel like life should be a paradise full of adventure. Not a 40 hour grind week in & week out.
My soulmate of 40 years and I fell in love listening over and over to his first album. He's a gentle man with a BEAUTIFUL voice and a FABULOUS soul. Thank you, Christopher, wherever you are. We loved you and your music and still do. 😃
Love this song. It takes me back to the great times on our boat. Beautiful Michigan lake, fresh air, and no cares, out on the water. Just the music filling the air.
Now he’s gone but we had 34 years together. I can close my eyes and still be there.
Memories are a gift. Love you J ❤️
Hug your loved ones.
Back in the day when an artist had to be just that, not just a pretty face with Autotune to fix it all.
And that's why the judge on x-factor, AGT and other singing competition gets burned on for using auto tune
You're really presumptuous to assume all music is like that when you have to search for what sounds good and if they use autotune so what if people like it let then it's not hurting you and it's not like you're actively searching for modern hits
O m g
Doug Elick there were still pretty faces with next to no talent making it in the industry back then, maybe minus the auto tune, now it’s just more mainstream,. don’t be delusional
@@TheCitycat1000 Name a few of them....
One of those people that the voice isn't what you expect. Great relaxing song, Takes me back years. Thanks
Great song, seriously. Very imaginative. It takes you on a journey within your mind.
I have fond memories of this song; great album!
Quality music that is no longer a standard of today.
l love this music it reminds me of times were life was prure when people respected one another when people were happy a time when you loved life and what it had to offer I feel so blessed to have grown up in those days our generation knows what I'm talking about
+Holding Stephen Currys “Big N' Tasy” Nutsack Thank you
Yes we do Rebecca, Sailing , takes me away!
Rebecca Thornton Agreed. First time I heard this song was on the 17th Floor of Watterson Towers, I was 18 First Semester in College, with a 26 year college roommate (Partied to much lol, to him a few extra years). I thought it was crazy to stay that long, “Stupid Me”. First Coed Floor, 12 hot straight from high school Rich family girls and 12 common guys. Booze permitted with at least 1 person. in room 21, no smoke alarms and my roommate showed me a thing call a “joint” lmao. He play that record and look out over the Campus by the huge window. I loved that song first time he played on Record player. The Ladies finally after having to follow the nerd rules got to experience life to that song. Sweet memory I had forgotten.
yep. i was in HS. i listen to old music from the 70's and 80's, back when people were so happy regardless to who was president.
Who is John Galt? @@cameron_fairchild
50's,60's,70's & 80's gave us such wonderfully talented people.
Then tech came in the 90's and the world became a harsher,colder place.
Brilliant song and it brings back memories when I used to go to a pub in Liverpool called the Hanover and this song was played all the time on the juke box and that's how I became a big fan of Christopher Cross he's just brilliant and this song is one of the best of all time.
Still on my mind to get me here 2019 💚❤️💙 who's with me?
it is 2020 1 MAY 2020 , I am still listening
I'm with you now 2021
Brings me back to where I need to be. Thanks so much for posting this song. Sometimes we are in control of our destinies, sometimes we just need to let go, ride it out and know we will be ok.... if the wind is right.
It takes me back to when I was growing into adult!
angela mullis Me too
Thanks for your continuous love and support Lisa Meier ❤️❤️
How long have you been a fan of mine Lisa Meier???
Magical song...Takes me on a journy still to this day!
Thanks for some cherished memories Chris Cross. My mom really loved this song 😓
An amazing song will love it forever :-)
Alicia13202 pretty good if i say...
Alicia13202 So true, it still resonates in 2015.
Alicia13202 Yep, a classic.
yass girl especially this version
Alicia13202 Well said Alicia.....a GREAT song. Beautiful lyrics, an ethereal quality, Regards Michael
Oh my God, the memories! I was three but i can remember singing this song every time it came on. Luv this and Ride like the wind.
Let's put this absolute wicked tune back into the charts 2019! :)
I remember listening to this song as a young boy , now I'm an old man! Seems like yesterday.
I was born in 1997 and I gotta say the music of before, specially this guy is so much better than the music of today, those were the days of good music, Metallica, Chris Cross, Air Supply, Elton John, Michael Bolton, those and many more, were and still are good music!!!
Ashen throw some billy Joel in there trust me
OMG 🎼 flash backs from the 1970 - 80's
Back when the music was more important than image
Indeed!
For sure.. I have seen people dressed better to feed livestock.. LOL am glad they focused on music more than appearances
Franklin Taylor I didnt mean he was badly dressed.Just that rock and pop stars did things more down to earth and casual back then.Not like all the junk that Justin Beiber and Lady GAGA do and wear that kind of takes away from the music(if you even call the unmelodous stuff they put out music today)
MrJacMac1986 I hear ya. I don't mean to berate his clothes either.
MrJacMac1986 couldn't agree more!
that's amazing. he's sporting a genuine, 100% nylon, made in the usa, silk-screened, powder blue sand knit jersey of the legendary earl campbell! i've been looking for that damn jersey for many moons! good song too. and he's a texan like all my family in my tribe's home state!
As a Briton, I would like to say that he's one of the great US icons of my childhood-the ones that showed us that we were on the right side in the Cold War, and that we would win it regardless because we had Chris and his friends, and the goodness of the US that gave us hope in those dark times. God knows what happened since then, but at least we still have Chris et al and the memories of the happiness during those troubled days.
Adam Welton no one could have wrote it better, man. i'm sure plenty people in the u.s. feel the same way about the beatles and bee gees being from the UK and all. the goodness of the u.s. is more rare now than ever before. i hate to say it that way but i've been around in this country long enough to know that are greatest days are behind us. i wish it didn't have to be that way but that logic does explain why so many people are desperate for the old america to return and are willing to vote for Trump for that cherished U.S. past.
This song is PURE MAGIC!!!!! Well deserving of every Grammy award it won. This IS the definition of a TIMELESS CLASSIC. Possibly the greatest song ever, at least on my list. 1980 was the best year!!!! Thank u Christopher Cross for creating 4 minutes of pure magic.
It's 2019, I'm 22 year's old and even though this song came out 17 years before I was born, I still it. Gets me emotional 😭
"Sailing" is the greatest soft rock song of all time!!!
I love the song, but I wouldn’t go that far! 😂🤣😂
you must be gifted to even imagine this melody
Absolutely!
Remember listening to this song when I was 11. I lived on lake Washington Blvd in Seattle, Wa. Where ironically I enjoyed watching a lot of sailboats passing time during the long summer vacations with my sister 😊
Karmen Hughes I lived on lake Washington Blvd too when I was younger, except I was in Kirkland side of Lake washington. I don't know if we're similar in age or not I just turned 40. Time sure does fly it almost brings tears to my eyes.
