Cross is dead, I'm sure…
Why did it take them 36 years to release it…?
It's such a lonely song. Something about it is just very depressing.
Que música linda! O cara toca muito e tem uma voz diferente. Parabéns pela obra-prima. Eu já gostava de ouvir Christopher com 10 anos.
That voice is as pure as Highland water…absolutely magic 👌
I will forever love his songs 💗💗💗
I love this actual live version with the OBX analogue synthesizer instead of the string section. Tom Oberheim is a complete legend and is designing and making wonderful keyboards even now at age 85.
Happy birthday, Christopher Cross. May 3, 2022.
0:01 Original Oberheim OB-X! Tom Oberheim has a new version coming. Pictures released today. Expensive though – but sounds marvellous.
Love his voice So soothing!
Well, it's not far down to paradise At least it's not for me And if the wind is right you can sail away And find tranquility Oh, the canvas can do miracles Just you wait and see, believe me
It's not far to never never land No reason to pretend And if the wind is right you can find the joy Of innocence again Oh, the canvas can do miracles Just you wait and see, believe me
Sailing Takes me away to where I've always heard it could be Just a dream and the wind to carry me Soon I will be free
Fantasy It gets the best of me When I'm sailing
All caught up in the reverie Every word is a symphony Won't you believe me?
Sailing Takes me away to where I've always heard it could be Just a dream and the wind to carry me And soon I will be free
Well, it's not far back to sanity At least it's not for me And if the wind is right you can sail away And find serenity Oh, the canvas can do miracles Just you wait and see, really, believe me
Sailing Takes me away to where I've always heard it could be Just a dream and the wind to carry me And soon I will be free
This is a masterpiece in my opinion
his voice man …….2022 still killing it
3:47 Those background notes are gorgeous! Little touch on the bass too. Musicianship.😊😊😊
I love it that the audio level is high in this video! Someone uses the full dynamic range!👍👍👍😊😊😊
Beautiful song. I always wonder – how could one afford to pay a band this big? Two keyboard players, two percussionists! I imagine they didn't make much. Music really is a labor of love.
Christopher Cross is AWESOME !!! Listen to the voice and lead guitar !!! WOW !!! Kisses !!!
Beautiful….reminds me of when i was a kid and chilling with my candle clock radio….🙂…now I listen to it to chill at the office.
What talent it doesn't get any better than this. 👏
Effortless.
Does anyone know the name of the keyboard player standing up playing in the blue shirt and red pants at the beginning of the video? He played the piano at the La Mansion hotel in Austin for a while after he stopped touring with CC, and I can’t remember his name.
I miss seeing singing
The kind of music that brings u back to a state where ur reliving it in ur mind.
Beautiful beaches only reachable by sailboat. Lucky sailors.
One of the greatest songs ever made….❤
Mysterio was here
I didn’t realize it at the time, but MTV killed the music industry. It became about looks, image, and the art got lost in time. I’m not sure if we will ever get back the musical integrity of original sounds. I keep waiting for the next musical revolution, but in a world based on views and likes, it might never come 😞
Fresh out of the service and attending college in Oklahoma. Summer of 80 wonderful times
This dude who looks like he just did a lube job on the outskirts of fifth ward wrote a Beatlesque hit song. Get inspired by default people.
I was 10 when this song was released. I recently found out that the song is about the sailing trips Cross took with his childhood friend and that friends father. Cross had an alcoholic father and these sailing trips were everything to him. A moment in time where he didn't have to live in fear, and felt free and pure. A return to innocence. Sad, but sweet .
What an iconic song ❤️❤️
This song is so fantastic for this time of music 🎶 ⏲ 👏 🔥 💯 🎵 👌 🙌
Boy’s got a voice…
It's odd that the sound is absolutely identical to the studio version, except for the replacement of string section with the gorgeous old Oberheim OB-X synthesizer.
Was the dual neck guitar necessary for this song?
We used to see these guys play at Arlington Square Club In Pasadena Texas and they played at my sisters wedding just before they won the Battle Of The Bands, I think was in 1977. You Sure miss those days.
This is a true live version. There is another version of this video where the studio recording is used. But this one's all live, sounds great.
What a beautiful song and a fantastic melody love you christopher cross ❤❤❤❤
What a peaceful and beautiful song….!!!!! And I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love his special voice.
This came out the year my son was born. He passed away December of 2022

Well, it's not far down to paradise
At least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away
And find tranquility
Oh, the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see, believe me
It's not far to never never land
No reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy
Of innocence again
Oh, the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see, believe me
Sailing
Takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
Soon I will be free
Fantasy
It gets the best of me

All caught up in the reverie
Every word is a symphony
Won't you believe me?
