Spot on. I was at a concert by Styx last night and as I looked around I felt the thousands of older persons, like myself at 80, being carried away to their youth.
The comments on these old videos always get my tears going. Everyone's memories are so touching and loving. I almost forget humans can be this loving until i come to these comments sections. This song is beautiful, always has been. 2023 and still listening. Rock on everyone and SAIL AWAY WITH ME💚✌
i lost two of my best friends this year. it hurts so much listening to songs that we used to listen to together. i’m so sorry for your loss. i can’t imagine losing my mom or grandmother. it’s inevitable, but it will kill me. i hope you’re doing okay.
Remembering my first boyfriend Ernie. We were gonna get married. He perished in a car crash & never finished high school. This song always makes me cry.
Clearly he wouldnta finished high-school, if he . . . perished in the car crash :) Just messin with you. Sorry about the sad story. Maybe you will see him on the other side. :)
I didn't even know this song. I just heard it mentioned on The Late Show and wondered what the song was. So I looked it up and saw all these sad stories. Man! People's pain is so overwhelming, but also shared. May we all know we are loved.
@@DavidE-go3zt like you, I didn’t know the sadness that came with these songs. I sang thins song in high school choir, now over a decade later, I realize it’s a sad song. Wow, teenage me did not know how to understand music.
Racing driver Ken Block passed away today in a snowmobile accident, this song played in the ending of one of his stunt productions... a huge loss in our community... "We'll try best that we can, to carry on!".
Good ole Gymkhana 5 and the feeling throughout many others I really have hoped for the family to find the strength to push along and continue to make dad proud. He will always be at least a stage ahead.
With the state of the world, it’s nice perhaps NECESSARY to listen to music like this and remember that love STILL exists . It’s worth celebrating. ❤🙏🏽
@@jaymccomb8468 Duller. But you don't want to become too jaded in life either. I guess we all try to protect ourselves from hurt but if you don't open up you cannot fully appreciate the exquisite beauty of a song like this.
I saw Styx in January at the Alabama Theater. I was 7 rows away from Lawrence. I tried so hard, but the tears just burst out. He made eye contact with me and saw me bawling. This song reminds me of my grandmother and the line "and we'll try, best that we can, to carry on" had gotten me through several suicidal episodes since she died. This band has quite literally saved my life.
Eternally grateful to DDY and Styx for this beautiful and timeless recording. Many of us in our 50s and 60s now look back to a simpler time in life and real music like this. Styx band members if you see this, thank you for inspiring so many of us back then..as we get older we appreciate songs like this more and more as we start to lose those we love along the way. Styx - best band ever at least in my opinion.
@@Hakar17 yeah but we weren't hooked to our cell phones and social media back when styx was the biggest band in the world and the economy and society were different; you had to have been there but 1:21 yes enjoy your youth and let other younglings know about this timeless band
Im 17 and wish i grew up in a simpler time like this i really fid grow up in the wrong era and it makes me sad thinking about it all and my life and hoe things could have been for me
Somehow I can never forget that my sister, ten years older, had this as her prom song. She passed away roughly eight years later after a bone marrow transplant failed to end her fourth stage cancer. I vividly remember her saying, "I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had," not long before matters worsened. She had married. She had a house. I will always remember her great strength. I think of it even more now that my Dad has passed. To all those who feel alone, I am with you. I bring you my heart, the small peace I have snatched from tragedy. Bless you. You are not alone.
A song that starts off as a sailing trip and reminiscing about childhood dreams and memories. Then turns into a message from angels. Only to turn out that the angels were space aliens and flying off in a starship. They just don't write songs like this anymore.
There concerts were also a blast. Back in 1977 front row tickets were $18.00 dollars. Gas was under $.85 cents a gallon for premium. Like the song, The Best of Times. Amazing just fast time passes. In the blink of an eye nearly a half century ago. 🤟🏻
I hit 60 two months ago. Man, I just couldn't get that around my head. 50 was easy, but 60....how is that even possible? Why, just last week I aced a history test, and I am studying for the S.A.T.s!!?
My older brother passed away recently. We grew up in the '80's, and thought of this song, especially: "I think of childhood friends, and the dreams we had." Miss my bro. who has sailed away. Love, your little brother.
No auto tune, pure voice! I absolutely love this man’s gift! I’m only 34 and I listen to this song all the time. Teaching my 3 year old how real music was made.
As soon as I heard that first piano note, it was suddenly 1977 again, in grade school. I was finally happy again without all the pain of now. Thank you for taking me back to Better Days.
I agree with you, i hear this at times when we go to a covers band. This quiet guy sings at the top of his lungs with emotion. It is awesome to see others from that generation join me. It does take you to that simpler time. Much needed now.
My bus driver in middle school Mr. Leroy used to always play this every morning along with some other classics we’d always be singing along good times.
I remember this song from the spring of 1994. My mom was dying of pancreatic cancer. I was sitting in the window of my girlfriend (now wife) dorm room smoking a cigarette about to go to work for the evening shift at a shoe store in the mall. Literally the first line of the song broke me...I was sobbing. And I remember how my girlfriend consoled me, hugging me while I wept. 26 years later this song still makes me weep.
sometimes, few songs and situations are very impactful that they live with the rest of your life. still listening to some songs that I used to listen late nights remembering my crush (once girlfriend now broke up) make my heart flutter.
I'm sailing away Set an open course For the Virgin Sea 'cause I've got to be free Free to face the life That's ahead of me On board I'm The Captain So...climb aboard We'll search for tomorrow On every shore And I'll try Whoa Lord I'll try To carry on I look to the sea Reflections in the waves Spark my memory Some happy Some sad I think of childhood friends And the dreams we had Lived happily forever So...the story goes But...somehow we missed out On the pot of gold But...we'll try Best that we can To carry on A gathering of angels Appeared above my head They sang to me This song of hope And this is what they said They said Come Sail Away Come Sail Away Come and sail away with me lad Come Sail Away Come Sail Away Come and Sail Away with me Come Sail Away Come Sail Away Come Sail Away with me...ohh Come Sail Away Come Sail Away Come Sail Away with me I thought that they were angels Much to my surprise We climbed aboard their starship We headed for the skies Come Sail Away Repeat forever Of course...it was written by Dennis De Young...which always makes me think of San Francisco...where the De Young Museum is...in fact, I have a friend that works there...Hi Arie. The Grand Illusion album from where this song comes...is nearly a masterpiece. 8 songs...39 minutes...recorded in Chicago...it was released 7-7-77. Classic Rock critic Malcolm Dome rated the title track as Styx all-time greatest song. He also rated "Come Sail Away" as the band's 7th greatest song.
This song reminds me of my father... Lost him in1999... I remember driving in a silver anniversary edition Corvette in New Orleans over the causeway listening to this when I was like 4 or 5 years old with the t-tops down life was good he was a double amputee lost both legs died at 56 years old 🗝️ he was the love of my life and he taught me about music good music what do you all know about the kinks Lola Steve Miller band 1:14 😢😢😢😢😢
I’m so sorry honey! I’m from New Orleans, my Dad taught me about music too! I also lost him 😢 been over that long causeway many many times lol I was a parish girl! XO ❤ Edit: I love Steve Miller & Bob Seger, I’m in my 50’s so the list is LONG lol
i never thought in the early 80s when i listened to this on vinyl that i'd be typing a comment into a damn computer 4 decades on. we were BLESSED to be born when we were. thank you, God!!!!
As I get older, I wish more and more that I was a teen in the late 60s/early 70s instead of now. Music back then was so much better than the shit we have now.
Tough memories but yer lucky to have them. Class of 1981 here also, but our prom theme was the stupid choice of "Dust in the Wind". I heard this song on the school bus every morning at the same time. Will always associate it with finishing my geometry homework on a bouncing school bus.
My dad passed away to colon cancer last night after a 4 year battle, I played this the day after he was gone I know those angels told him to come sail away with them to peace, love you pops Godspeed ❤️
I;m so sorry, grief is something u can carry all your life when your very close to a person, I lost my sis and she loved this song so much. I just want to cry when I hear it. God Bless
sitting here reading all the comments. memories of loved ones passed. my wife Cher'i of 22 years went to the heavens aug 23rd 2022 and trying to hold back the tears just to post this little comment. Blessing to all who have lost someone close.
These days I'm a grandma, and I STILL love these songs, brings back memories of a time when as a teen I listened to them on the radio, bought every every record they every put out, and I could sing along to forget about horrid parents, and sisters younger than me, and while they were dating,,and I was sad at home aloneI'd kisten to these songs
We are never alone for their energy is everlasting. I heard this song at least once a day while my Mom was suffering from cancer. She told me one day they were all waiting for her I asked who she everybody.
I lost my wife, heard this song and it reminds me when I was singing once this song she was ins bed and she told me ". Doud it's a nice song you are singing, what is the name of the song I replied .. " it's come sail away ." from Styx ..Now she's gone and hope she sailed away to heaven !!
Between this, Bohemian Rhapsody and Black Parade, Im beginning to think a slow and emotional first half plus a second half that picks up the energy and goes hard af seems to be a sure fire formula for an iconic rock song.
This, Boh Rap, Freebird,Stairway are not my FAV tunes by their Artists...all have been played nauseously over the years...I’d rather listen to the tunes in their catalogs that never made the radio rotation
My mother just boarded her cruise before her surgery she’s 80 years old she loves to sail! This is her Song! I’m blasting it for her! We pray for her healing on the surgery after the cruise! COME SAIL AWAY!
Gymkhana 3 and 5 was what introduced me to KB, my older brothers were heavy into skateboarding and DC Shoes. Because of KB I got into playing the DiRT series of games, with DiRT 3 implementing Gymkhana into the game with a lot of depth. It was a lot of fun, Rest In Peace Ken, keep hooning in Heaven man
@@sandalogaming6766 I watched Gymkhana 5 in 2012 on a copy that my brother ripped from RUclips. I've never looked away from motorsports since then. Literally changed my life.
@@spinniboi Why would you want to spend eternity swimming in a lake burning with fire and sulfur like on a match head while being eaten on the inside with worms forever and ever alone in the darkness 24/7 for millions and billions and zillions of years? Choose wisely grasshopper. We will spend it with our loving God and creator and Jesus Christ who died on a cross to save us from our sins. We deserve hell and the lake of fire too, but we chose not to go there because we have accepted what Jesus Christ did on Cross for our sins.
@Sherrie Phelps I’ve been married for 32years I was 24 and she was 20. She got cancer in 2020 I was totally lost without her. She took a major hit the treatment was horrible for her. I could not do anything to change the situation so I felt helpless..This song reminds me of her.
June 28, 2024 Listening to these amazing songs are the closest thing we have to a time machine. It takes me back to being a child and my parents listening to the record player. They are both now gone. But it's nice to remember them listening to these songs on the radio in the car driving down the road. How I miss those days. Miss you Mom, Miss your Dad.
Forty years ago when this song was popular, I was in the U.S. Navy. About this time, my ship was heading overseas for 9 months and as we moved away from the pier, waving our farewells to wives, girlfriends and friends being left behind, the bridge began to play this song over the 1MC, the public address system. It really fit the moment.
Leaving for the navy In a month, this song brings me comfort. Wish me luck on the open seas, and may god protect and watch over my fiancé while I’m away. Edit: I just graduated boot camp yesterday, now onto A school! Go Navy!
I was born 2 years after this dropped and heard it throughout my life but after losing my mom this song hit hard!! It makes me smile, cry and rock out! CLASSIC
The piano.. Lyrics.. The voice.. The instruments. From a ballad to a rock song. One of the best songs ever. I grew up in the 70s. Come sail away with this masterpiece.
"I'm sailing away Set an open course For the Virgin Sea 'cause I've got to be free" Tks for all the good memories you left for all of us. Go fast. Risk everything. Rest in peace Ken Block.
Ephesians 2:8-9 8 For by God's grace are we saved through faith; not by works, (or being a firefighter or law enforcement or a hero or a marine or a veteran or a war hero or dying for your country or actor or puppeteer or News reporter/anchor or a soul singer or killed by a terrorist or a sports hero or our heritage or ethnic background or a fashion designer or engineer or a rock star or bodybuilder or a writer or cooking show host or walk into a room and lite up a room with their smile or a pioneer or a trail blazer or trending or a legend or a super pop star or bounty hunter or race car driver or football coach or country music singer or basketball star or civil rights leader or being modest or being humble or a Disney star actor or game show host or making people laugh or making people happy or never killing anyone) 9 it is the free gift of God, not that anyone can boast of their salvation." Eternity will not be about any of us or what we have done. It will all be about Jesus Christ who died on a cross to save us from our sins. We all deserve hell and then the Lake of Fire that burns with sulphur and fire on Judgement day...
I like to imagine that these guys were actually happy with each other when they made this song. It is a shame that super talented guys like this will always reach a point where they can't stand each other anymore.
+George Jefferson I came here to re-listen to this song because my brother doesn't think my sister's class would accept this as a song at a party tomorrow night... The party is on a rented yacht...
My dad passed away in 2011 I played this at his funeral we used to sit in his car and listen to it and he played air guitar 🎸 I'll hold that memory forever RIP DADDY
One of the best classic rock songs of all time. How is Styx not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? They are so much better than many of the acts that made it.
@@thetaekwondoe3887 and youtube is free speech. This is not China or north korea or Russia. I live in america. Obiden has not stopped freedom of speech yet, but he keeps trying.
They say that people who dream about the past can’t look forward. I disagree because there is nothing today that can compare to this. This song is timeless!
This is a timeless track I like to listen to it when I'm reflecting looking out to sea like I was today I felt emotional listening to it and reading the comments on here it's obvious this song and touched the heart of many people for different reasons. Remember be kind to yourselfs and others
This song always brings a tear to my eye. For the longest time, I've asked myself "What song should be played at my funeral?" And being reminded of this song instantly gave me my answer.
My daughter who graduated in 2018 from a very small private school in UT was allowed to choose the processional and recessional songs. She chose Sail Away for the recessional :) Good girl
How are you doing? If you stumble get back up and keep going. Your life is worth fighting for. No matter how many times it takes! God will carry you through. ❤️✝️
I’ll never forget my high school graduation seeing everyone for the last time feeling proud but not knowing what my future held. When I said goodbye to my favorite teacher who’s sadly passed now. I got in my truck and turned it on. The first song that came on was this. And I took it as a sign of things to come. And I’ll never forget that.
I graduated high school a few days ago and I played this song at the ceremony with my favorite teacher I was the piano and he played the guitar. It was the best day of my life and I will miss him
This song is dedicated to my father! R.I.P! He passed away while serving in the US Navy, back in the early '90s He would've been 65 yrs old right now. I loved this song. :-) He's in a better place right now
Ethan Tapp Thank you guys! It's been quite some time now. The heart heals over time. Life goes on. I have a family of my own now, but the memories and legacy are still there. I'm living my life now. :-)
I had this played at my son’s Memorial Feb 3,, 2022. He was only 37 yrs old with two children. He was taken from us and we will fight for him. He could do anything, so smart,loved people and all nature. God has him now and he is I am sure busy with his creator. Matthew we Miss and Love you every moment of our lives. Your family left behind
I'm sitting here on Dec 30,2023 listening to this amazing song. Some things are timeless. Wishing everybody a safe and Happy New Year. Sending love from Louisville Kentucky. Never let these amazing songs die!
One of the Greatest Bands from the '70's and '80's "Styx". This great band plays awesome songs from my teenage and young adult year's. This song and band brings back so many great awesome and melancholy memories from the past and present. Everyone needs to listen and relisten to this song which invokes so many memories.
Journey was sooooo much better before Steve Perry joined the band. They degenerated into a gutless, formula, assembly line, cookie-cutter FM radio and MTV focused "hit machine." Listen to the song "Hustler" from the "Next" album for a comparison.
This song is the last song i heard with my uncle before he died. He told me its a beautiful song and I said yes it is. We will miss you Ricky Joe Huffines
Just thinking that. I remember Judd Apatow saying it cost him a fortune to get the rights to the music he used. I was introduced to this song from the prom scene too. That man has great taste in music!
This song always brings up so many emotions. Each time it plays on the radio, I have to listen to each note and word. Take me back to my Freshman year of high school.
Dennis DeYoung IS Styx imo. He wrote and sang 99% of their hits. The band fired him in the late 90's. He now has his band Dennis DeYoung and the Music of Styx. Also his YT channel,called: Dennis DeYoung

Music is the closest thing to a time machine
that's true
smell and taste are close 2nds
Spot on. I was at a concert by Styx last night and as I looked around I felt the thousands of older persons, like myself at 80, being carried away to their youth.
and movies
it is...I have said that b4
to generalize memories are time machines music is good at placing us in a time and place
I believe that somewhere in the world, there are people who feel the same emotions that I feel when I listen to masterpieces like this song.
We do.
You aren't alone dude! Greetings from Argentina!
I'm one of them.❤
Yes!! Me!!
Right here lad
The comments on these old videos always get my tears going. Everyone's memories are so touching and loving. I almost forget humans can be this loving until i come to these comments sections.
This song is beautiful, always has been. 2023 and still listening. Rock on everyone and SAIL AWAY WITH ME💚✌
I just said that to my wife.
You are one of us, love is in our nature. We must love ourselves and not be harsh in judgement just like we wouldn't want to judge our neighbor.
I'll always be rocking out to the craziness. Lmk if you will have a radio for the trip, I can be sure to bring one.
@@savysavel1460 wish i knew more like you in this life, 💚✌ I hear you loud and clear, my friend.

The fact that this comment section is still alive shows the impact & how strong Styx touched people. God bless you to whoever is listening.
Same for you.
Well said mate.
Friend of mine was found dead in his apartment this morning, This was one of his favorite songs.
Ditto
Come sail away with me! 💙

Dennis DeYoung has the most iconic voice... a song for a generation!
Criminally underrated.

I beat you there by a couple of months. This song takes me back to high school for sure.
Three months from the big 6-0 myself. You couldn't capture the angst of that era better. Still rings so true 40 years later. Timeless
I hit 60 two months ago. Man, I just couldn't get that around my head. 50 was easy, but 60....how is that even possible? Why, just last week I aced a history test, and I am studying for the S.A.T.s!!?
why why why can't there be great artists and music like this today? I've only found a handful in todays music world.
Give Great Van Fleet a try
His voice is so sharp. The pronunciation of each word while singing them is incredible.
That's true music

Enunciation.
yes, now days I don't know what they,r satubg

Sorry for your loss.
Life sucks doesn't it my grandad died.I feel your pain😭

No auto tune, pure voice! I absolutely love this man’s gift! I’m only 34 and I listen to this song all the time. Teaching my 3 year old how real music was made.

Wish you all the best
As soon as I heard that first piano note, it was suddenly 1977 again, in grade school. I was finally happy again without all the pain of now. Thank you for taking me back to Better Days.
I agree with you, i hear this at times when we go to a covers band. This quiet guy sings at the top of his lungs with emotion. It is awesome to see others from that generation join me. It does take you to that simpler time. Much needed now.
Yes I feel you, I hear it and in I'm in my mother's womb playing air guitar. Best times of my life
I agree completely. I wish I was back in 1977 again so bad.
How true...
Yes my friend!! Same here!
My bus driver in middle school Mr. Leroy used to always play this every morning along with some other classics we’d always be singing along good times.
I saw this live when I was in high school. Still have my ticket stubs. Their concerts were so good! Fan for life.
I remember this song from the spring of 1994. My mom was dying of pancreatic cancer. I was sitting in the window of my girlfriend (now wife) dorm room smoking a cigarette about to go to work for the evening shift at a shoe store in the mall. Literally the first line of the song broke me...I was sobbing. And I remember how my girlfriend consoled me, hugging me while I wept. 26 years later this song still makes me weep.
I'm so sorry you had to go through that. My condolences to you. I lost my Mom too. She died of leukemia on March 10, 1994.
sometimes, few songs and situations are very impactful that they live with the rest of your life. still listening to some songs that I used to listen late nights remembering my crush (once girlfriend now broke up) make my heart flutter.
Damn. I'm just here because of "That 70's show"
Damn, sucks
God bless your mom, my mom also die from , pancreas cancer, and this give me strength to carry on man, peace dude
😭 Troy did end up sailing away to this song.
i seen thattt 😭💔

I'm sailing away
Set an open course
For the Virgin Sea
'cause I've got to be free
Free to face the life
That's ahead of me
On board I'm The Captain
So...climb aboard
We'll search for tomorrow
On every shore
And I'll try
Whoa Lord I'll try
To carry on
I look to the sea
Reflections in the waves
Spark my memory
Some happy
Some sad
I think of childhood friends
And the dreams we had
Lived happily forever
So...the story goes
But...somehow we missed out
On the pot of gold
But...we'll try
Best that we can
To carry on
A gathering of angels
Appeared above my head
They sang to me
This song of hope
And this is what they said
They said
Come Sail Away
Come Sail Away
Come and sail away with me lad
Come Sail Away
Come Sail Away
Come and Sail Away with me
Come Sail Away
Come Sail Away
Come Sail Away with me...ohh
Come Sail Away
Come Sail Away
Come Sail Away with me
I thought that they were angels
Much to my surprise
We climbed aboard their starship
We headed for the skies
Come Sail Away
Repeat forever
Of course...it was written by Dennis De Young...which always makes me think of San Francisco...where the De Young Museum is...in fact, I have a friend that works there...Hi Arie.
The Grand Illusion album from where this song comes...is nearly a masterpiece.
8 songs...39 minutes...recorded in Chicago...it was released 7-7-77.
Classic Rock critic Malcolm Dome rated the title track as Styx all-time greatest song. He also rated "Come Sail Away" as the band's 7th greatest song.
Don't lie, Eric Cartman sung this at chef aid.
“Repeat forever” 😂

This song reminds me of my father... Lost him in1999... I remember driving in a silver anniversary edition Corvette in New Orleans over the causeway listening to this when I was like 4 or 5 years old with the t-tops down life was good he was a double amputee lost both legs died at 56 years old 🗝️ he was the love of my life and he taught me about music good music what do you all know about the kinks Lola Steve Miller band 1:14 😢😢😢😢😢
I’m so sorry honey! I’m from New Orleans, my Dad taught me about music too! I also lost him 😢 been over that long causeway many many times lol I was a parish girl! XO ❤
Edit: I love Steve Miller & Bob Seger, I’m in my 50’s so the list is LONG lol
i never thought in the early 80s when i listened to this on vinyl that i'd be typing a comment into a damn computer 4 decades on. we were BLESSED to be born when we were. thank you, God!!!!
I know exactly what you mean...lol...loved it then, still know all the words, even though I hadn't heard it in ages!
Honestly good point. Never looked at it that way. *:-)*
Life is truly a blessing.
As I get older, I wish more and more that I was a teen in the late 60s/early 70s instead of now. Music back then was so much better than the shit we have now.
LMAO
My daddy would sing this song when I was growing up. He would even sing it in the truck with no music. My daddy still does after 25 years...
Vi Landis your daddy has good taste
Your dad and I need to have some beers together. Sounds like a good fella.
Very cringe
@@automatedimagination 🤓
I knew this song when I was young, but never really listened to it. Now that I'm older, I realise how fantastic it is.
I cant just give up..... Not going to because my daughter believes her momma is going to find her and bring her home. I love you Nikisha
Why is she missing?
"Why am I crying?? Did I accidentally listen to Come Sail Away by Styx again?!"
See what you did there. Cool, cool, cool.
+Ava Starr Community. Yes.

This was the theme song for our high school junior/senior dance in 81 which I danced to this with my first wife
Rest In Peace Bonnie
aww! sweet! Blessings:)
A terrible sad loss.
Tough memories but yer lucky to have them. Class of 1981 here also, but our prom theme was the stupid choice of "Dust in the Wind". I heard this song on the school bus every morning at the same time. Will always associate it with finishing my geometry homework on a bouncing school bus.
Tom very nice and sad. Sorry. Memories can be painful
@@albmorales7100 your a piece o sh t
When i listen to this song, it doesn't remind me of anything or anyone except how damn great this mans voice was...hell yeah
I'm 30 years old. Can't imagine the impact it had on you in your days, my friend. Cheers.
Wow still enjoying the songs from Styx, 2024. Thanks again you'll. stay strong and safe. God Almighty bless you'll. Read your Bible ❤
My dad passed away to colon cancer last night after a 4 year battle, I played this the day after he was gone I know those angels told him to come sail away with them to peace, love you pops Godspeed ❤️
Sorry for your loss. So he knew Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior.
I'm sorry for your loss...God Bless you and your family 🙏
My dad passed 5 months ago today too. I feel your pain. 🥲 Our fathers sailed away and left us behind to carry on.
Blessings to you❤
I'm so sorry
I;m so sorry, grief is something u can carry all your life when your very close to a person, I lost my sis and she loved this song so much. I just want to cry when I hear it. God Bless
sitting here reading all the comments. memories of loved ones passed. my wife Cher'i of 22 years went to the heavens aug 23rd 2022 and trying to hold back the tears just to post this little comment. Blessing to all who have lost someone close.
I fully understand your heartache for my husband passed away 💔 May 2021..
My best to you 🙏
❤❤❤
These days I'm a grandma, and I STILL love these songs, brings back memories of a time when as a teen I listened to them on the radio, bought every every record they every put out, and I could sing along to forget about horrid parents, and sisters younger than me, and while they were dating,,and I was sad at home aloneI'd kisten to these songs
I was 7 when this beautiful song came out. Now my folks are in heaven and I'm alone❤❤
I don't know you but I love you we won't be alone forever
We are never alone for their energy is everlasting. I heard this song at least once a day while my Mom was suffering from cancer. She told me one day they were all waiting for her I asked who she everybody.
@RonaldHafemann-dz1po Every soul that has passed on is how I perceive it
Same here. 😢❤
Same 😢
I lost my wife, heard this song and it reminds me when I was singing once this song she was ins bed and she told me ". Doud it's a nice song you are singing, what is the name of the song I replied .. " it's come sail away ." from Styx ..Now she's gone and hope she sailed away to heaven !!
So sorry for your loss my friend : (
Sorry For Your Loss
😭😭
Peace be with you friend. Come sail away...
Sorry for your loss I'm sure she is my friend
Between this, Bohemian Rhapsody and Black Parade, Im beginning to think a slow and emotional first half plus a second half that picks up the energy and goes hard af seems to be a sure fire formula for an iconic rock song.
Don't forget stairway to heaven
@@bliz974zard Freebird
This, Boh Rap, Freebird,Stairway are not my FAV tunes by their Artists...all have been played nauseously over the years...I’d rather listen to the tunes in their catalogs that never made the radio rotation
One, The Unforgiven, Nothing Else Matters, Fade to Black. Metallica mastered this.
Highway Song as well
My mother just boarded her cruise before her surgery she’s 80 years old she loves to sail! This is her Song! I’m blasting it for her! We pray for her healing on the surgery after the cruise! COME SAIL AWAY!
How did it go?
This song still hits my soul at 53 ❤️🤘
And at 69, too.
This song gives me nostalgia for moments I've never experienced, which goes to show how powerful this song is.
Beautifully expressed! 💖
This song was released decades before I was born, and I STILL feel the impact from it. These songs are absolutely timeless!!
You probably heard this from a movie like Detroit Rock City 1999 when you were younger, or on a car radio
you've got to remember. and have more moments.
The older I get the more appreciation and love that we were truly blessed to be alive in the Era of the 60's, 70's and 80's for music.
Played this song for my dad in his final hours of life. It was amazing to see how he relaxed hearing this song.
He loved classic rock.
R.i.p. dad ❤
Yes, was my dads last song. He sailed away during the chorus. 6 years ago this month.
@@ryanmcclanahan8436 so sorry for your loss. 💔
No matter how many years pass, it's hard to lose those closest to us.
I hope someone does the same for me sorry for your loss and I think you are an awesome person cuz you like this song
RIP still an amazing song! I’m a much younger soul!
Beautiful blessing 💖
Rest in Peace Ken Block, this was the outro song for my favorite of any of his films, Gymkhana 5. rest in tire smoke and methanol, legend
Gymkhana 3 and 5 was what introduced me to KB, my older brothers were heavy into skateboarding and DC Shoes.
Because of KB I got into playing the DiRT series of games, with DiRT 3 implementing Gymkhana into the game with a lot of depth. It was a lot of fun, Rest In Peace Ken, keep hooning in Heaven man
It can't save your soul.
@@sandalogaming6766 I watched Gymkhana 5 in 2012 on a copy that my brother ripped from RUclips. I've never looked away from motorsports since then. Literally changed my life.
@@spinniboi Why would you want to spend eternity swimming in a lake burning with fire and sulfur like on a match head while being eaten on the inside with worms forever and ever alone in the darkness 24/7 for millions and billions and zillions of years? Choose wisely grasshopper. We will spend it with our loving God and creator and Jesus Christ who died on a cross to save us from our sins. We deserve hell and the lake of fire too, but we chose not to go there because we have accepted what Jesus Christ did on Cross for our sins.
I've always said the best road trip music is Styx. Not one particular song, but their entire anthology. It's a hill I'll die on.
what hill? With who? with what?
@Sherrie Phelps I’ve been married for 32years I was 24 and she was 20. She got cancer in 2020 I was totally lost without her. She took a major hit the treatment was horrible for her. I could not do anything to change the situation so I felt helpless..This song reminds me of her.
Troy Barnes said he cries when he listens to this song and he literally sailed away.
And that made us cry too.
I see why he feels that way
Rest in peace Ken 🕊
June 28, 2024 Listening to these amazing songs are the closest thing we have to a time machine. It takes me back to being a child and my parents listening to the record player. They are both now gone. But it's nice to remember them listening to these songs on the radio in the car driving down the road. How I miss those days. Miss you Mom, Miss your Dad.
Forty years ago when this song was popular, I was in the U.S. Navy.
About this time, my ship was heading overseas for 9 months and as we moved away from the pier, waving our farewells to wives, girlfriends and friends being left behind, the bridge began to play this song over the 1MC, the public address system. It really fit the moment.
Talk about poignant!
It doesn't get anymore kool and sad at the same time awesome song either way
I was stationed in Norfolk heading out to the Med and gulf back in 85 and this song was played when we pulled out also.
Brian Bois Gilbert that’s cool
Epic
Leaving for the navy In a month, this song brings me comfort. Wish me luck on the open seas, and may god protect and watch over my fiancé while I’m away.
Edit: I just graduated boot camp yesterday, now onto A school! Go Navy!
God bless and Thank you, I wish the world could see peace so no one ever had to give service.
Thank you for your service and God bless 🙏
Corny, try again
prayers all around
Godspeed shipmate.
Styx created some of the most memorable music of my life. What a masterpiece.
I was born 2 years after this dropped and heard it throughout my life but after losing my mom this song hit hard!! It makes me smile, cry and rock out! CLASSIC
The piano.. Lyrics.. The voice.. The instruments. From a ballad to a rock song. One of the best songs ever. I grew up in the 70s. Come sail away with this masterpiece.
If i hear the start of this, I cant do anything until its finished

Eternity will not be about any of us or what we have done. It will all be about Jesus Christ who died on a cross to save us from our sins. We all deserve hell and then the Lake of Fire that burns with sulphur and fire on Judgement day...
I like to imagine that these guys were actually happy with each other when they made this song. It is a shame that super talented guys like this will always reach a point where they can't stand each other anymore.
I'm not here from any source, I just
love Styx
hi
Tyler Mcay here from that 70s show
Tyler Mcay I was walking around kings island and heard this so I came here lol
I grew up with this, ahhh the memories.
Amen.
First concert my dad ever took me to when I was 13 years old. Styx, Kansas, and Foreigner. Saw this performed live. Absolutely incredible
Jesus, which one headlined?
I saw them, Kansas then Foreigner and then Styx at Red Rocks, Colorado years ago. What a show! Styx was the headliner.
Styx, Kansas, and Foreigner .. holy shit that must have been beyond awesome !
Those were the best times for music!
What a fucking lineup
Amazing voices and music. Those were the days. I miss them.
This song will forever be a banger til the end of time⛵⛵🛸🛸
I get misty-eyed each time I hear this song. Reminds me of my youth and simpler times. Peace on on you...
Carlos Rodriguez stay childlike Carlos🤟
Me too, Carlos. Sniff.
Amen!
For me too. Loved this song when I was in High Scholl. I still do.
way simpler times my freind.

I'm trying to find some songs that would be fun or cool relating to the fact they're on a boat

As someone who also lost his Dad, I am sure he is so proud of you and will always be with you. Stay strong!
My dad passed away in 2011 I played this at his funeral we used to sit in his car and listen to it and he played air guitar 🎸 I'll hold that memory forever RIP DADDY
One of the best classic rock songs of all time. How is Styx not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? They are so much better than many of the acts that made it.
in "YOUR" opinion. And everyone has one, like you know what.

I’ll never forget my high school graduation seeing everyone for the last time feeling proud but not knowing what my future held. When I said goodbye to my favorite teacher who’s sadly passed now. I got in my truck and turned it on. The first song that came on was this. And I took it as a sign of things to come. And I’ll never forget that.
Damn bro
I graduated high school a few days ago and I played this song at the ceremony with my favorite teacher I was the piano and he played the guitar. It was the best day of my life and I will miss him
ONE of their best songs, what amazing vocals and lyrics.I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had.
A theme he revisited in DESERT MOON.
Incredible voice! Killer underrated band
I see how Cartman feels when he can't do anything until he finish singing the song
Omgg ye
Yep
Yup
I'm watching that episode right this moment and its why I'm here but the comment section is sad as fuck
Yep
This song is dedicated to my father! R.I.P! He passed away while serving in the US Navy, back in the early '90s He would've been 65 yrs old right now. I loved this song. :-)
He's in a better place right now
I am sorry about your father
Ethan Tapp Thank you guys!
It's been quite some time now. The heart heals over time. Life goes on. I have a family of my own now, but the memories and legacy are still there. I'm living my life now. :-)

This song is definitely suitable, since it talks about angels. Your father is, without a doubt, living amongst them, now.
I could see why. the song is great and so is your father fighting for America he did is job. god bless him and your family

I'm sitting here on Dec 30,2023 listening to this amazing song. Some things are timeless. Wishing everybody a safe and Happy New Year. Sending love from Louisville Kentucky. Never let these amazing songs die!
One of the Greatest Bands from the '70's and '80's "Styx". This great band plays awesome songs from my teenage and young adult year's. This song and band brings back so many great awesome and melancholy memories from the past and present. Everyone needs to listen and relisten to this song which invokes so many memories.
Finally, a "real" Styx video. Styx without Dennis DeYoung is like Journey without Steve Perry.
I agree!
Or queen without Freddie.
Good analogy
Journey was sooooo much better before Steve Perry joined the band. They degenerated into a gutless, formula, assembly line, cookie-cutter FM radio and MTV focused "hit machine." Listen to the song "Hustler" from the "Next" album for a comparison.
@@kurtp8833 oh I'm not arguing your point cuz you're right. Was only referencing his vocals. They had phenomenal pre-Perry music
This is my song for my deceased father! Every time I hear it, he’s saying Hi! Thank you Styx! ❤️
In Loving Memory of your father!
Rest In Peace to them.
Hello, how are you doing? It is nice seeing
you here.
I am almost 70 and this song means more to now than it ever did.
R.I.P the one and only legend. #43forever
This song is the last song i heard with my uncle before he died. He told me its a beautiful song and I said yes it is. We will miss you Ricky Joe Huffines
RIP Ricky!
Thanks to Freaks & Geeks to have introduced me to the best rock playlist! This song playing in the prom scene always gets me.
+1
YES!!
Yeah where Sam asks that pretty girl to dance.
Just thinking that. I remember Judd Apatow saying it cost him a fortune to get the rights to the music he used. I was introduced to this song from the prom scene too. That man has great taste in music!
What a great song. I read comments on here. And i feel for the ppl that lost someone close.
This song always brings up so many emotions. Each time it plays on the radio, I have to listen to each note and word. Take me back to my Freshman year of high school.
One of the greatest songs ever. Sung perfectly.
Yes 👍
Dennis DeYoung IS Styx imo. He wrote and sang 99% of their hits. The band fired him in the late 90's. He now has his band Dennis DeYoung and the Music of Styx.
Also his YT channel,called: Dennis DeYoung
