Who's still listening to this wonderful song this year?

Who is listening to this beautiful song spectacular 2024

I am an old salt that built fishing boats and joined the navy. I am not ashamed to say I shed tears listening to this song. It's sublime and majestic

I'm leaving this comment here so after a month or a year. When someone likes it, I'll be reminded of this song.

I can remember being abused my mom as a child, and feeling hopeless at times. She struggled with terrible fits of rage. My saving grace as an 8 year old child was my little league football coach, who knew nothing about my repeated abuse, playing this song in his car, driving me home after practice! I still love it till this very day!!! 🙏

Played at my mum's funeral, she passed away 3rd June from cancer and pneumonia. I love you so much and am so so greatful for the 31 years I had you in my life.

I used to watch my parents slow dance in the living room to this song. They played this record over and over. When I hear it I’m instantly back there with Mom and Dad. I’m 46 now.

I fell in love with my husband listening to this song. July 1980. He passed from pancreatic cancer 10 years ago. I hope he is sailing away in heaven and free from all the pain.

One of the most peaceful songs ever recorded.

I’m a 46 year old black man… And I LOVE this song… and always have… And always will.

I'm still listening in 2024😢 Oh memoriess...

Many years ago, my father took my sister and I to Yosemite valley for a camping trip. We must have been 12 years old at the time. I remember looking out of the car window, gazing at the majestic mountains and water falls, the sweeping green meadows and the big blue sky. This song came on the radio and I soaked in the moment - it seemed the perfect soundtrack to the magical experience. Mentioning it to my dad, he instead turned off the radio and asked that we listen to the sound of the flowing water and wind, much to my chagrin. Years later, after putting up a tough yet graceful fight, he died of cancer . He told me at the time that he was not afraid of death, but of dying - because he didn't want to leave us with a bad memory of him suffering through the process. Instead, I saw him at his best, and witnessed just how strong, graceful and loving a person could be in the toughest of times. This song brings back such great memories of my father, and because he turned off the radio while this song played, it made the memory stick in my mind for some odd reason. And when the part of the song says, "Just a dream and the wind to carry me, soon I will be free," it really hits home. I'd like to think my father is out there, gliding effortlessly amongst those same beautiful mountains, waterfalls and meadows, and enjoying the moment with a smile on his face. I love you dad, and miss you every day.

My son Leo passed away today. He was 22. Somewhere he is sailing on the ocean with the sun shining down on his beautiful face.

Being a kid in 1980. God a whole different world it was. And different for the good. This song. So amazing.

A Friend of mine passed away today, i hope he's sailing through the green fields and mountains, i hope he touch the skies and dance in the wind, travel in the stars e find serenity, i hope he can find peace in the arms of the creator and i hope he can rest in peace.

My dad passed away this past week, this was his favorite song, all though it is very hard to listen to, today I needed something to remind me of him. his favorite quote from this song that indeed in the end came true was: “soon I will be free” my dad suffered from a very rare heart disease and had 5 open heart surgery’s, his first being when he was 13, he was always in the hospital and suffered from to much pain. He is now happy and at peace in his for ever home, heaven. I loved him very much and am happy to say his favorite quote and his wish are now true he is free.

0% Sex 0% Drugs 0% Nudity 0% Violence 0% Politics 100% Great music!

Reminder that you are loved, to never give up, and to always have hope. Hope everyone has a blessed day

I was depressed in college. I decided to paint the sunset instead of think about dying. This song was on and colors flooded the sky and shadows of rainbow stretched across a lake. The stars began to appear. 🌟 I painted many important expressions over the many years since. I love life. I love my family. Music is very important to me ❤

This is the most calming and peaceful song in history. It seems to put you in a quiet place.

I used to play this every Sunday morning for my mom after breakfast. She died Feb. 7 , 2021, a day before her 87th b-day...she absolutely loved this song even when it first came out back in 1980...R I P, mom.

This is a masterpiece that will stand the test of time.

Reading the comments made my heart hurt. This songs reminds me of those good days as a kid but, I feel the hurt of the bad days too. I hope the pain in every heart is healed! ❤❤❤❤❤

This song has aged well. Still loving it 40+ yrs later.

My wife and I fell in love to this song in the summer of 1980 when we were just college kids. Married in 1981, and 41 years later, here we are. Its funny how music transports me to times in my life. Still gives me chills and wonderful memories as I look back and listen.

Such good music. Timeless and priceless. As a trucker who drove for 28 years, I have cherished those songs so much. All alone on the highways and sometimes the rain and my windshield wipers and the sound of the tires and the engine combine with such good music is all that keeps me awake. As a foreigner in America, I couldn't help but remember my youth in St. Lucia when we used to go to parties and these songs would play. Life was so simple back then. Now times have changed and it makes me cherish these songs even more. The friends of mine who were at the parties all went to different parts of the world and started families and businesses of their own. I wonder, just wonder, what do they think of when they hear songs like these.

I woke at 4am this morning with this in my head. Why I have no idea why, but what an absolutely beautiful and wonderful song to be woken by and remember after so, so many years.

Nothing like a little Christopher cross to calm you down during a police chase all around LA 😌

I'm Japanese, and I'm 18 years old. When this song was released, I was not born. But somehow I feel like as if I were in 80's, and somehow I feel very sad. But that kind of feelings are so comfortable to me.

A masterpiece - his Mona Lisa even.

Rest in peace, my little brother jimmy,may we see each other again.I love you.😢

Everybody needs a little Christopher Cross in their lives right about now.

This song saved me from depression last. I was at the lowest point in my life. I was crying and asking God for relief. Minutes later this song just automatically started playing, I looked up the lyrics and Thanked God. It was like a hug from above. This grounds me along with prayer 🙏🏽 thank you for sharing ❤️

First cruise I ever took, this came on. I cried. One of his most beautiful songs to date.

The utter beauty of this song gives me chills. You can feel the wind on your face.

As a child I was abused constantly. I was thrown outside naked at the age of 6 I would hide in a bush and cry. People would walk right past me in an apartment complex and not even look twice. It was a different time, a different age. But, certain songs carried you through the roughest times. This is one of those songs for me. I will carry it with me for life. God bless you all. If you are going through a hard time please reach out you are not alone.

I’m listening to this and crying. Funny how a song can make you think about your life like this and bring out every emotion

Leaving this comment, like it so I can come back to this song.

When you have someone you love in Heaven, you have a piece of Heaven in your Heart ❤️ May God bless you all and your loved ones always and in all ways, in Jesus' name I ask and pray, amen 🙏🏼 ✨️ 🙌🌹🎼🎶🎵🕊

In 2021 when I turned 50 my son surprised me and played this song on the piano for me- he had secretly practiced it for weeks- this song never fails to move me and now it will be even more special-

Its rare that you can find a song that makes you feel it. Brings nostalgia almost immediately. Still one of my favorite songs

Is it only me but why do I feel like crying my eyes out when I hear this timeless classic …..

He wrote this about his childhood with an alcoholic abusive father and how he found happiness with his friends father that was like a great father figure to him. He spoke about this on the Howard Stern show in 1995

We are playing this at my Dad’s funeral this week. It reminds me of when Dad and I went sailing years ago. He was at peace on the yacht and this song really captures the time we shared together out on the water. RIP Dad

This song takes me back to my childhood during the 80's. A time when life was much simpler and people talked to each other, face to face, for hours. If you needed answers, you rode your bike to the library and hung out with Dewey Decimal. The entire summer was spent at the public pool where the air was full of chlorine, kids were taking turns seeing how far they could swim underwater on one breath, and for snacks we had Mello Yello and Chick-o-Sticks. Riding my bike all over town because everyone knew everyone and we looked out for each other and didn't have to worry about getting snatched up or shot at. If you got in trouble, your bike was never fast enough to beat the phone call home to your parents and you were held accountable for your actions. No cellphones, no computers, no video games (unless your parents had money). We weren't allowed to sit in the house on a sunny day and we never ate a meal at home that wasn't at the table. My God, how I miss those years. I wish I would have realized how special they were.

My dad loved this song. I miss you pop

I live on the southern tip of Texas. The Gulf of Mexico is about less than a hour away. When this song came out before I graduated college I bought the cassette and played this song repeatedly on my Walkman as I laid on the sand when I went to the beach. The song fit the island vibe so well. Every time I hear this song it takes me back to those days.

One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.

I was stuck in a traffic jam with loads of deliveries to do everyone beeping and stressed then this song came on the radio and then none of that mattered anymore..

I'm in my early 70s now, and this song has such a special place in my heart and will forever.

The intro with the orchestra is just perfect, followed by the majestic guitar of Christopher Cross

My father was a Norwegian seafarer from when he was 16 to when he finally retired at 68. This song allways makes me think of him, and being a lil boy riding on his shoulders, as he explained the stars and how to navigate by them, something they don't teach mariners anymore...he was the last of the real vikings, not the TV type.

LOVE THIS SONG!!!! SITTING AT MY DESK AT WORK WITH TEARS IN MY EYES REMEMBERING WHEN LIFE WAS SOOOO SIMPLE!!! I REALLY MISS THE GOOD TIMES!!!

This song is a masterpiece. It takes me to a place of my dreams everytime I hear it.

WOW. This song, like to many others here listening, has a personal special meaning. But what astounds me even more, is reading what others are sharing here while I listen to the song myself. Stories of loss, of love, of nostalgia. And a sense of kinship overwhelms me, of sharing something so special with others: The magical power of music. It's so beautiful it brings tears to my eyes. And I smile and feel sad at the same time flooded with intense emotion, while those tears fall freely down my cheeks. In the end, we have such a short time in this world and that no matter how the world changes around us, some things always stay the same. How we affect those around us and the impact we have on their lives, how important love is, family, and friendship. Enjoying life to its fullest and sharing it with others. We are all just traveling in different boats, sailing through the ocean of life. Sometimes we brave storms, and sometimes we sail on quite calm seas, witnesses to the most beautiful and spectacular sunsets. That's just... that's just LIFE. What's important is how kind, forgiving, and loving we are to each other when we do meet over our travels, because that is the only thing that remains as proof of our brief passage. That is the legacy we leave behind as we disappear into the horizon, quietly sailing away.

I miss you Kevin. We are dying w/o you. Dad is ruined buddy. I’m crying at the gym right now. This family is so empty w/o you. This song makes me think of you, sailing away in stardust. No more headaches, no more back pain. No more brain injuries. I love you Kevin. Always and forevermore.

41 years later in 2021 - and it STILL just captivates my heart and soul. One of the best.

"And now abide faith, hope and love. These three. But the greatest of these is love" Life is so short. Forgive, live, love, and find a life free from so much destruction......

This particular song helped me through a difficult summer in 1980, and is easily the most beautiful song on this incredible album. Thank you forever Christopher Cross.

This song isn't just music. It's a vibe that makes you feel something. Takes you back. Now that....is the definition of quality music.

Played this at my mama’s funeral in March. I miss her so much.

This was my father's personal favourite,it reminded him of his youth and would always have it playing somewhere. He passed away july 2020 in the midst of the pandemic. This song seems to always draw me back to him when i listen to it. He really was a good man

This song truly enriches my life. It is beautiful and peaceful.

Monterrey CA in 1981, on the dance floor with a beautiful lady wishing the moment would never end. Memories fade but music can bring them back with startling clarity.

If there's a playlist in Heaven, this song is definitely on it.

Played this for my Mom when she was in hospice she loved it , our last experience was watching Life of Pi taking about the meaning and then playing this song for her ! Love you Mom , missing my biggest fan ! But you need to know I was actually your biggest fan !❤️❤️💪💪🍀🍀

This song makes me ache for something I never had.... How is that possible?

Just came to this song recently and I love it! Who’s here in 2024?

My brother was a US NAVY veteran and this was his favorite song. He passed away in 2016 and it is fitting that his epitaph reads, "GONE SAILING."❤❤❤

So soothing and beautiful. This man is underrated. Such a great musician.

The gospel the good news Amen 🙏 keep 👀 up love grace through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ the blood that washes us white as snow God bless you all ❣️🙏✝️💪

weird how a 40 year old song still sounds amazing, even to someone in their early twenties

This song takes me back to my childhood, a much better time in life.

Ain’t no party like a tek knight party 😭🙏🏾

Not many songs take me away from reality. However, for a few brief minutes, this song takes me to a place where all is good and right in life. Love it.

it doesn’t get more beautiful than this.

"The canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see." Some songwriters leave me in awe. It's so brilliant.

I just wanna live in what this sounds like.

I love you so much my best friend and mum.., my world is shaken, not a day goes by I don't think of you or ever stop loving you xx

My Mommy is on hospice and it’s any day the Lord will be calling her home. This calmed my heart😢

Cobra Kai anyone? This song gives me chills. CK will go down as one of the great shows. Nothing beats some great 80s music.

Beautiful song. Takes me back to an incredible time in my childhood with the most amazing Father that a child could ever be blessed with. I miss my Dad terribly and this song always brings him close to me again.

This is one of the most beautiful and peaceful tunes I’ve ever heard.👍

This is my daddy's favorite song. I remember playing this song in our radio in a cold night when I was a kid. Now that my dad passed away this year, I cant stop to cry while listening to this... even now :(

After graduation, a college good buddy and I took a road trip from California to Colorado in his drop-top Mustang. Not having lots of money, we mostly camped and ate at diners. But what a great trip it was to have wind in our faces and Sailing playing on the radio! We were free as the wind with not a worry in the world. Then came graduate schools and careers and we lost touch. Since then, I have taken many domestic and international trips, stayed at luxury hotels and cruised on 6 star ships. Yet I still consider that road trip as the best trip of my life.

If I had to choose just one song, this is the most beautiful pop song of all time. This fellow, Christopher Cross, wrote a debut album that is simply mind blowing. Right out of the gate, he put out really gorgeous pop music that can never be topped. Not by him, not by anybody, I dont think. 44 years later, still the most beautiful sounding pop song I ever heard.

I was born in the late 80’s but this is the first song I have memory of in my childhood! My mother had a music cassette with this song and this peaceful melody reminds me of my first house, summer days in the garden, my sweet mum and it brings me lots of emotions! 💛

This was my uncle’s favorite song. He passed away a month and a half ago due to Parkinson’s disease. It 100% represents what he always wanted... to be free from the disease. It brings me so much peace to know that he’s in a better place and not shaking anymore. This song reminds me of that.

One of the songs I grew up listening to....brings tears to my eyes....

It's one of those songs that you can't do enough justice as to how remarkable a creation it is

Just got back from Panama City, Florida. Had this beautiful song on my mind the whole time. Didn't mind the ear worm...sitting on the beach with my margarita and feeling it, whistling it, loving the pretty white sand and aquamarine water. I'm 68 years old, but it made me feel 26 again, the year this song came out.

I don't know why, but listening to this song makes me want to cry and tell my loved ones how much I love them.

Reading the comments on this it just blows my mind that 40 years later this song is still relevant and how we are all now connected from this song and all the ways it has meaning for each of us. Crazy what music can do to the soul.

This song is pure meditation.

This 80's classic is 4min and 15sec of peace and tranquility..it won a Grammy for song of the year and I can understand why..this has got to be the most beautifully written and arranged songs ever..I'm floating on a cloud with nothing but peaceful thoughts in my everytime I hear this tune Thank you Christopher Cross for giving the world this song that will last forever and a day

In 1980 when this came out it was one of those songs that my mom and I listened to over and over. It defined that time for us (it was right after a car accident that put the two of us in the hospital for months and took the lives of two of my parents' long-time friends) and we always reminisced over that time when we lived to tell the tale. Fast forward to September 15, 1987, my mom died from cancer when she was a couple months shy of turning 36, and I was 15. I still play this every anniversary of her death and cry my eyes out for hours as I play every song that reminds me of her and look at old pictures of her. Today is the 35 year anniversary of that day, but it feels like yesterday. I am so grateful that this song is such a special part of my (our) life and my soul. When I listen to it, it makes me feel like she's still here with me, like I can just reach out and touch her. I would give anything to see her once more. But at least I have this song. And my heart goes out to all of those who have shared their heartfelt stories on here. I can truly relate.

I remember in like 83' ish my dad would take me to the beach all the time...this song would always be on in the car..had a lot of fun...miss those days...miss you dad..r.i.p..❤

Christopher Cross sure makes excellent music. I love his songs.❤

This song.... This song brings up so many memories for me good and sad. My brother was our Mom and Dad because our parents were on drugs and left us with everyone that they could think of. The most of the time we only had each other. It was scary,sad, lonely and sometimes it even made us sick but as long as we had each other i knew that we would be ok. I was the youngest and my brothers were older than me. And this song takes me back to the good parts. I do thank my brother for being such an awesome mom and dad because of him im a Mom of 2 beautiful children and 2 beautiful grandchildren and married to my high school sweet heart ❤️. Thank you Lord 🙏
