That was one of those little 'perfect moments' where the rest of the world just melts away and you 'sail away' on a sea of bliss.

    Cross's Think of Laura is another worthwhile listen from him. He wrote it in memory of his girlfriend's college roommate, who was killed by a stray bullet while she was in the back seat of her parents car, who were visiting her for the weekend. The song was eventually used on a popular soap opera back in the day. But it really wasn't written for that at all.

    More than anything, this song reminds me of being a young child, reminds me of my late mother and gives me that “safe” feeling that only comes with being a child so many years ago. I would give anything to go back and experience that once again.

    Thanks for doing this! I was one of those who recommended this...now you know why. This is probably the most calming song of all time. As a sailor (sailing and 30 years in the Navy), I LOVE this! "The canvas can do miracles," does not do justice to what sailing is like. Magical. Christopher Cross is a very VERY underrated guitarist and song writer. The sound you're talking about are Bar Chimes. "Arthur's Theme" should be next for Chris Cross.
    Same vibe but a VERY different message is Bruce Hornsby & The Range, "The Way It Is"...one of my all-time favorite messages.

    For more of Christopher, I would suggest "Arthur's theme" and "Think of Laura". Which sadly the latter was Basically his last chart topping hit. After that, he just sort of faded away from the spotlight.

      I read the other day that the dawn of MTV is why he faded away. Pop stars like him had to start starring in videos, and he was over weight and didn't fit the "norm" for MTV. Isn't that horrible?!? He was so talented, with such a gorgeous voice. He deserved better.

    Cross is also an incredible guitarist, something very few give him his due credit for. Mostly because his guitar work is kind of buried by the over-production of his tracks. Listen carefully to "Ride Like The Wind." Easily one of the best guitar solos in the decade of the '70s.

      You would enjoy listening to youtube music maestro Rick Beato gush over that in his video, "the greatest guitar solo you CAN'T hear". In case my comment would be blocked if I added the link, I'll try adding it in the next comment. If it's blocked, you can at least find it by that name. :-)

    This is my father's favorite song! My whole life he has always had a sailboat and we spent a lot of time out on the water! My father is also a musician and singer. He gave me my love of music. I grew up singing and playing several instruments and it lead me to meet my husband who is a drummer. We have now passed it all down to our son, as well. He plays alto sax and drums. My dad always has great music playing in the house and I love his music as much as he does! He recently passed his record collection down to me, including the cabinets from the '70s! I love listening to his music. it's like getting a big hug from him!
