Connie Talbot - Sailing Safe (A Tribute To Christina Grimmie) 

I cannot believe that we live in a world where people are killed for doing what they love. So much cruelty for no reason at all. Christina really was an angel - your lyrics are so beautiful Connie X

Now that she is gone everyone shows their appreciation. I hope Christina truly knew how much she was loved and appreciated when she was still alive. I hope she knew about the impact she had on all these people. She was an inspiration and I just hope she knew that.

When I saw the report about Christina's death I, for the first time in my life, experienced the physical reaction of shock. I just couldn't take in what I was reading. The nightclub killings that followed have left me bewildered and apprehensive. Let us hope that the impulse for peace and world harmony will rise in the hesrts of mankind.

This was the most beautiful tribute. I'm shedding tears as I'm hanging on to every word in this song... no lyrics fit anymore perfect than these. This world lost a lot when we lost Christina.

Oh my god.. this song makes me cry....😭

She sounds like an angel.

Don't know why. I keep coming back to hear this fantastic original time after time. Can't praise Connie enough for writing and singing this. Too me it is absolutely topclass composing and performing for any age.

LYRICS: Sailing Safe [Original] - Connie Talbot A Tribute to Christina Grimmie Heartbreaking all around, We speak but there’s no sound. Black stains upon our cheeks, Our tears come falling down. Cry a river over you, And drown in its despair. I know I didn’t know you, But I know it isn’t fair. Cause we lost an angel, We lost an angel in earth as well as heaven. We lost an angel. And with this grief won’t you take our prayers with you please Now you have wings, you can teach the angels how to sing. And with our tears won’t you build an ocean back here. Sailing safe… You heal the broken hearts with your own melody, Taught us that it’s okay to not follow society. This world never deserved you so I say goodbye tonight. Good night, God bless you, rest in paradise. And with this grief won’t you take our prayers with you please Now you have wings, you can teach the angels how to sing. And with our tears won’t you build an ocean back here. Sailing safe…. ----------------------------- Connie this is a wonderful tribute to Christina. God bless. Take care everyone.

This is Connie at her best. Originality, piano, voice, room at home and a camera. No gimmicks needed - stunning.

Going back to hear this. Can`t praise you enough for this song written in a day, Connie. It is just one of the best songs ever written. Christina would be so proud.

This is just beautiful. So so beautiful.

I love how all these RU-vid artists are creating songs for Christina. It really is a great way to honor her.

Still this day this song touches me so much. Masterpiece by Connie Talbot, which really shows her potential. This song is just perfection..And Connie wrote it in just one evening. Christina was such a great singer and person😭

so sensitive, empathic, geniune .... I am speechless, Connie.

What a touching tribute. Couldn't help but cry at the line "Now you have wings, you can teach the angels how to sing" RIP Christina

So, So, So, beautiful to listening to and I love it

Perfection. Thank You Connie. "Christina Never Forget."

Can't stop listening to this tribute. The more I listen the more beautiful the lyrics and melody is. To know that Connie wrote this in one day is truly amazing. She is only 15. True talent and truly a great sweet girl.

Absolutely beautiful , heartfelt song. Thank you Connie. I've never known of you until today , when I was searching for tributes to Christina. You've just gained a new fan. It's proof that even in tragedy , we are taught that there is much more good than evil in this world. Bless you Connie and RIP Christina. Heaven has an amazing new angel

When there is a new dislike, I ponder whether the person is void of feeling, jealous of the performer's unique abilities, or they're just being a jerk. Then I realize, it's all of the above. They're entitled to their opinion. This is mine.

Such a touching tribute to Christina Grimmie. Rest in peace, Christina.

I can just imagine Christina there with you,singing along and thanking you for what you're doing and telling you that she loves you.

Thank you for her ... French fan of christina and you

This is a beautiful and amazing song Connie ♡ I'm very proud of being a connoefriend and proud of you, your heart is full of love and I love you share this love with the people. I LOVE YOU CONNIE and thanks for this beautiful song for Christina, I'm sure she aprecciates it from the other side and also her family. God bless you Con xoxo ♡

Well ... I'm French and I didn't know about what happened to her, I'm shocked to learn it here ... She was not an artist I followed with fever but she was still a great singer and I listened a lot of her covers and songs, so it's sadly that I learn she is not among us now ... I hope she rests in peace and her family has my support too. Thank you for all you've done for her, Connie !

I remember watching Christina's covers for the first time... When she still had her 'poofy' hair. I could watch them all day. Her voice was incredible and she was such a beautiful soul. Absolutely devastated about what happened.

This song is so beautiful. I don't know how to describe it but it's written in a style that would fit christinas voice very well. Is it weird that I can somehow imagine her singing this?

It's 2020 now and I can't listen to that song without crying.

Thank you, Connie. What a wonderful person you are..

wow beautiful song well played by a beautiful soul

I'm so sad she died, but at the same time i'm so angry someone did that. Someone actually shot an angel and that is gonna disturb me for months. I will never get over this, i wish i didn't find her channel back in 2011 and became a fan, i wouldn't be in such a pain. #RIPChristina bless her family.

This brought me tears, the song and what happened to Christina... I can't believe she died just like that...

How beautiful! I'd like to dedicate this song as well to all the victims of the recent Orlando shooting. My thoughts and prayers go out to their family and friends 💗

When Christina was taken away from the world, I was in total shock. For days I felt like having lost someone from my own family. Even today I sometimes listen to her music and for some moments I forget she’s not around anymore. How come could some terrible thing get to her? That is how much she was loved. And thank you, Connie, for writing this song, which is so beautiful as the person she was.

This is heartbreaking..

We need to be able to buy this song!!! Please publish it!!! I'd buy it a million times! The world needs to hear your song Connie!❤️❤️❤️

Connie, this is such a beautiful tribute to Christina.:) #RIPChristina

This song is beautiful and a perfect tribute. Christina was a great person! I love her music

I don't know what's more beautiful - her personality, her voice or her look.

This is so beautiful I can't keep coming back to it. I started watching Christina 4-5 years ago. I'm thankful for this cover. Thank you Connie.x LYRICS: Connie Talbot -Tribute to Christina Grimmie-Sailing Safe (Original) Heart-breaking all around, We speak but there’s no sound.

An angel's tribute to another angel that went up ahead. 😢

June 10, 2016 was a very sad for all of us who loved Christina and loved her singing. Connie this song is so beautiful. You sing this song with such feeling and meaning. The world has lost a lovely, talented girl. RIP Christina, May the Angels give you wings to fly

This is the most beautiful I’ve ever heard thanks so much for this Connie it’s beautiful

This is the most wonderful tribute I heard since I know about Christina... She was... I don't know, I loved her so much... My heart is more than broken. I can't stop crying. I think about it every day. And your song says everything I can't. Thank you so much. Christina will live in our memories and hearts.

Holy shit, I can barely see my keypad as I typing this cause I'm crying again... This is such a beautiful song! I'm sure that Christina is smiling down at you Connie for writing and singing this beautiful song

Beautiful, Connie I’m going to share you with over 5 thousand on Facebook, will many of all your songs. I will continue, your voice is amazing, I’ve watched you since the first time I see you so small and young. You are going to be a very famous artist

I dont know how this song could make me cry in a snap.

I was watching Christina's covers while Connie plays this original for her,it blends in her videos so much.R.I.P. Chris!!!

When I first started watching videos on RU-vid 8 years ago, Christina was the first person I started watching on RU-vid because I just loved her originality in her voice which had incredible vocal capabilities. I loved her style and most importantly she was such a humble person with a lot of sense of humor. The news still shocks me but heaven has just gained a beautiful angel. #RIPChristina #PrayforOrlando

Profound lyrical imagery. From a fifteen year-old. It moves the heart. Gives us hope.

I can't watch this without tearing up 😭😭😭 it was such a beautiful tribute to an amazing singer 💜

I never followed any celebrities on instagram, twitter etc... except Christina Grimmie. I loved her and when I heard she passed... it was so devestating to me. I'm still not over it.

A living angel tribute to another angel in heaven. So beautiful!

I can't help it... Everytime I hear to this song I end up crying. Thanks for this little piece of miracle, Connie. It can't be more perfect.

This song is pure, sincere, and heartfelt so beautiful sung Thank you Connie. And please take procedures to protect yourself at meet and greets. This is just so senseless that we lost her horrible!

She is such an inspiration to everyone and to me. She's a star that glittering out in the dark and losing her cause lots of pain and heartaches throughout the nation and all over the globe. This song is just amazingly beautiful, every words.

I am a few years too late but I just have to leave a comment after listening to it. The lyrics are so well written and the song itself is just perfection. If I listened to this song without knowing who wrote it I would have thought that a professional singer/songwriter wrote it. It does not happen very often that a song makes me so emotional. If this is the case I know that it was written and sung by a true talent. Very well done, Connie!

So beautiful, the emotion can really be felt. RIP, angel.

Heartwrenching & beautiful tribute dedicated to Christina. I like seeing the love being shown for her. She deserves every bit of it.

we lost a beautiful and talented angel, man its been hard without her here :'(

This song is painfully beautiful...

R.I.P Christina Grimmie and Chester Bennington. This is a beautiful song.

Beautiful song Connie. I know she's smiling down on you. Christina meant so much to me and was one of the reasons why i'm here on youtube and why I started making covers. The past three days i've been crying, in shock, and absolutely heartbroken. For the first time, I felt absolutely numb. I can't believe that's how she went. She seemed so humble and kind. Rest in peace Christina :( Gone way too soon. Forever remembered.

From this beautiful song, We all can know how much Christina is an inspiration to Connie and of course to the world. Thank you Connie, I'm sure that Christina is proud of you... x RIP Christina.

A tribute to an angel, from an angel.. So sweet of you. God bless you for it.

Your are absolutely right, we lost her way too soon. I watched here throughout the season she was on the Voice and then I her of her passing. I was saddened that such a young promising talent was taken from us so soon. Beautiful song.

I think almost all of you are missing the most important thing for the future, Christina was cruelly taken from us and her superb voice, career and personality stolen, but that I am afraid is fact and we cannot change it. What we can change is to make the world realise that in this girl Connie, we have a singer/songwriter with a soul and a heart so wonderful that she can express that loss so beautifully, remember Connie is only 15 (at the time of this recording). Christina is gone but must not be forgotten, Connie is the future and must not be ignored.

Now i sit here again and cry. I saw the RIP letters for her on saturday morning and was in a deep shock for hours. I couldn´t believe what i was reading there. The question in my mind which will perhaps never has an answer for all of us is: WHY? This song says everything what I and certainly many others feel right now. Thank you Connie that you have shared your deepest and saddest feelings with all of us. You should sing this song in front of an big audience filled with family members, friends and fans from Christina. I´m sure that you would speak deep from the bottom of their hearts. Through your song can you speak for all those peoples which can´t find words in this hard situation for this cruel death.

Such a very Beautiful song Connie! I cried so hard.. It's so sad what happened to her! But she is in a better place now! She is safe with the Angels now! 💖💖💖💖 You are also an Inspiration to all of us too Connie! You are such a Beautiful and Talented and Incredible girl with such a kind heart and soul.. You will continue to shine down here while Christina shines up above! I love this video Connie! Love the song too! You are truly Amazing! Christina will always be an Inspiration! She will always be Amazing and she will NEVER be forgotten! Her Spirit and her Memory will live on forever! I love you so much Connie!! 💕💕💕🎤🎤💞🎀💗💖💖

God is going to bless you for all you do to us through your music

How fitting that one artist pays tribute to another artist with the gift of music, and not just a song, but really a piece of your troubled heart. I hope writing this song helps you heal, Connie, because it's going to help a lot of others to do the same. Thank you for this.

I MISS THIS GIRL. WROTE THIS SONG AND ANOTHER SONG AT AGE 15, THE SAME DAY. WISH SHE'D WRITE MORE OF HER OWN MUSIC TODAY. GOD BLESS CONNIE.

Connie you are world class ! Beautiful girl with such a beautiful voice ! Nicely you listen !

This song couldn’t be put together more beautifully

Absolutely breathtaking. I don't really know much about Cristina so when I hear this song I don't think of her, but think of those people in Orlando. Our world doesn't deserve good people when innocents like those in that club are slaughtered just for being true to themselves...

I've played the piano since the age of 4 and now I am 16. With even a diploma in piano I still struggle to compose a song. Connie is not only beautiful inside and out, she is talented and an inspiration to me and I'm sure to all of you too. It fascinates me how she can compose such a great great song along with the chords that match perfectly together. Not afraid to say this is one of the best song I have heard and you have composed Connie!

she will probably be in movies pretty soon. she has the perfect voice and looks.

Shows how emotion is how music is truly made, this is by far your greatest song and you wrote it within a few days; Christina lives on in this song

Even after all this time has gone by, there is not a second that goes by I haven't thought of this sweet girl and her family. I remember having the honor of sending her mom a handmade journal. This was truly a beautiful song, and I was definitely crying

Simply beautiful Connie. God bless.

Who would possibly be so heartless to dislike...

Thank you very much Connie for the song, your voice is beautiful and this song is now my favorite...😍❤

Heart breaking all around, we speak but there’s no sound Black stains upon our cheeks, our tears come falling down Cry rivers over you, and drown in its despair I know I didn’t know you but I know it isn’t fair ‘Cause we lost an angel We lost an angel on earth as well as heaven We lost an angel And with this grief, won’t you take our prayers with you Please, now you have wings, you can teach the angels how to sing And with our tears, won’t you built an ocean back here Sailing safe You healed the broken hearts with your own melody Taught us that it’s okay to not follow society This world never deserved you, so we say goodbye tonight Goodnight, God bless you, rest in paradise And with this grief, won’t you take our prayers with you Please, now you have wings, you can teach the angels how to sing And with our tears, won’t you built an ocean back here Sailing safe Sailing safe Sailing safe And with this grief, won’t you take our prayers with you Please, now you have wings, you can teach the angels how to sing And with our tears, won’t you built an ocean back here Sailing safe Sailing safe Rest in peace Christina xx

I love this song and you sing beautiful Connie ...😍

Connie became to a wonderful Young Lady! Who agrees???? :)

Soo beautiful and sad. RIP Christina. :'( I have no hope for this world anymore... People are so cruel and evil for no reason..

This is the most beautiful song you have ever written. This was amazing and had me in tears. I'm going to miss her so much and I know you will too. You usually look at the camera and smile at the end of your songs. You didn't look at the camera once. I can tell you're feeling the pain. My heart is still broken.

Thank you Connie for such a beautiful and an amazing tribute to Christina 🥺💚💚💚 RIP Christina Grimmie

R.I.P Christina Grimmie 🌹

Beautiful song a tribute Connie. I believe Christina is enjoying your song in heaven along with her angel friends.

First time i knew about Christina Grimmie was when she was chosen to be part of agit8 album alongside Connie, "music can change the world"... this must be true and bad people must be scared of the power of music, i can't figure it out another reason to kill such a sweet singer that was bringing light to this world with her voice. This song express what i felt when i found out someone shot Christina, i didn't know her, i wasn't her fan, but i couldn't hold my tears, she was so young, beautiful and talented and she is gone now just because some damaged guy decide to ended her life, IT IS JUST NOT FAIR :'( what is wrong with this world? why everything is a matter of war? Why do people hate? what are we doing wrong? I can't stop thinking about her family, friends and fans, i just pray God to confort them and bring them peace. Goodbye Christina, you were too much for this world :'(

I didn't know Christina until after her death. I may not be as sad as the fans that knew he'd before she was shot, but I am greatly moved and saddened by this song. We really did lose an angel, and that 1 person who hated her in the millions that loved her really shouldn't have been at that one concert. They are sick and evil, and she would be standing somewhere in the world, happily hugging someone or singing. This is a beautiful song and I really love both you and Christina. Than you so much for writhing this song.

What a beautiful tribute to Christina. Connie, God bless your loving heart for the care and love in the way you penned this song. Words can't describe how we all feel when we lose a fellow musician, singer in such tragic circumstances that should never have happened. May God keep you safe and well, Connie. 😢❤️

This is the most beautiful song that I have heard for Christina Grimmie

This is probably the world's best song tribute to Christina. It's so meaningful and it just connects one line after another. Great job Connie

The song you dedicate to her is just wonderful. #RIPChristina we will never forget you..

That was so, so beautiful, Connie! Thank you. I'm sure Christina is smiling down on that beautiful tribute. Now excuse me while my tears build an ocean.

Christina was too bright a spirit...too pure...too lovely a soul...for this ugly world. Her presence made the darkness of the world not so bleak, and in her rested hope of all who knew her or were her fans. With her gone, our lives and this world is diminished. Well sung Connie. A fitting tribute.

honestly one pf the best original songs online i have ever heard , best Christina tribute ... we all miss her

I live 10 mi. from where that happened with Christina ....she was an exceptional talent and she is missed!
