Looking at those scenes of life in America in the early 1980s brings a tear to my eyes. Wishing we still had those simpler times again. God it was awesome flaws and all. Just so much more positive and just a great vibe. I'm so glad I have those memories of being a kid and teen then. Thanks Christopher Cross for this amazing song and your voice. You are a blessing to the ears
We never had the feeling of glamour and proportions that came from the US. Not a criticism. But in the UK I fondly remember that same feeling. Starsky & hutch, magnum, hart 2 hart my fave shows though 😀 ❤
I miss the 70's and 80"s. Gosh those were wonderful times. Yes, there were some flaws perhaps not perfect but they were easily the best times of my life.
Sitting in my back yard listening to this song. I am 64 years of age. And it reminds me of the things I never said to that special someine. He is no longer with us. Memories are forever
Wonderful to see Nicolette Larson singing by Chris' side. I loved her voice and her music too. Valerie Carter added some serious soulfulness to his songs as well. Sweet memories.
In the mid-80's I was 14. My church youth took a trip to Austin. I had my first girlfriend. I held her hand in the church van. What a magical time. Austin was a small, quirky state capital having around 350,000 back then. I think the metro is over 2 million now. That 1980's Austin only exists in my memory now.
I'm 50 and this was one of my favorite songs then and still is today. Do you remember "Solid Gold" with Dionne Warwick? You know, you have to admit, we come from the best 10 years of our lives, the 1980s.👍
His song is so true, I lost my husband just over a year ago and Christopher's words in this song are so touching and real and true!!! That's the way i feel. 😪😪
Just beautiful. A snapshot in time of an American city. People just living their lives, as their lives were then. The children in the video have now become adults. The adults in the video have either grown old or passed away. Nobody’s life is unchanged by time. I remember “Never Be The Same” as one of my favorite songs of the early 1980’s. I never thought that someday I’d hear the song played along with scenes from the 1980’s and feel so emotional over it.
I wish the 80s were back when I was a 14 year old teenager in 1980 and when Raiders of the lost ark was at the movies when I was 15 in 1981such simple a time I miss them
A true voice surrounded by an harmonious and positively beautiful orchestration. Mixed and mastered for the smoother listening experience, all in an optimistic life. Time machine.
I agree 💯 💯 💯 % I love Christopher Cross ❤❤❤ And his musical talents ❤🎸🎤 🎶 ❤ Song writer/composer, singer and guitarist❤ He does it all and does it excellently ❤❤ His voice is so unique and beautiful ❤️❤️
@@DougMcDave because sitcoms were a Snapchat of our actual lives and the openings showed life in whatever city they were filming. I love to look at these scenes so I will never forget what America used to be and look like and feel like
Thanks for all the great songs Chris . Sailing is my favorite . Wish the world was still lost in those good old days free and happy without all the tech distractions etc . God bless you all .
And I, will never be the same without Chris. No i will never be the same without his music. Lol Love you Chris Thank you for the years of happiness with your music. Sending you blessings, love and light always. 🙏🏼🌺💋🦋🌸🌼🥹
As an 80's teen, this reminds me how unified our country was. There was no news media drama between left and right. 49 states voted for Ronald Reagan. No social media and no phones. This really was the greatest times and we need wonderful times like this back!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE CHRISTOPHER CROSS. He’s my favorite singer of all time. Mr. Cross, can I get a signed picture? I’m a Disabled Vet who can’t leave the house now. Operation Iraqi Freedom took its toll on me. If not, thats ok. I listen to your songs EVERYDAY and love them very much. They remind me of how good we had it in the 70’s and 80’s. Thank you making your music. You truly are ONE OF A KIND. God Bless you and your family.
Man...I was born in 1976. I remember movies like Arthur (which I wasn't too into having preferred The Toy, etc...) and Sunday drives with the folks in the car before I had a clue about what music or pop culture or whatever was. I just loved Star Wars and Bugs Bunny...haha These fucking songs make me feel so warm! They're the soundtracks of my childhood and I fucking love them! It's difficult to help your 10 year old understand what it was like being bored in the backseat of a Montecarlo listening to these tunes on a rainy Sunday while your parents seemed to drive around aimlessly. Man.... can I have it back for just one afternoon please!
This is my absolute favorite song of yours, Christopher ❤️❤️❤️ I do love all of them though ❤❤ Thank you so very much for being who you are and bringing so much joy and love to me through your music!!! I love your awesome, soothing and sweet voice ❤❤ I love you Christopher Cross ❤❤❤
Great to see this video!! I was at that Austin concert in 1981 where Nicolette Larson joined the band on stage!! Also noticed that clip of the soundcheck at the Frank Erwin Center!!
Thank you Chris...I am born and raised here in Austin...since 1971...Love your music...My favorite song that you wrote is Sailing and Ride like The Wind, but I love them all...I saw you on Rick Beato's TH-cam Channel...I knew about you before that, but I was thrilled to see you play Sailing...and how you wrote it...Man...I love you for having the spirit you have and sharing it with the World...I hope to meet you one day....🥰😎
Na verdade nunca seremos os mesmos! Seremos melhores,o passado se despediu gentilmente dizendo do nos que foi brilhante ,que valeu muito apena,o presente é a oportunidade de vislumbrar o passado e assim uma nova oportunidade DIFERENTE de nos reinventar mos e o Futuro é a esperança que dizemos vamos fazer o novo!! Porquê Cristopher Cross ja se consolidou como um ícone!!!!! Tudo quê vier deste gênio, sempre nos emocionara. Então ontem eles estiveram em nossas vidas, hoje eles permanecem, amanhã seja o quê for será lindo!!!!! Mesmo repetidamente. Parabéns Cristopher Cross! Você sempre foi importante em nossas vidas ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I have been reposting this on Old Austin memories forum==thank you for your wisdom and speaking your heart during Covid and beyond---so glad we can claim you in Texas--sending a big hug and gratitude!
Why can’t I claim him from Birmingham? My twin sister and I loved Christopher Cross when we heard him first sing Sailing. ❤ She’s no longer living, but what a voice he has! 🎉 Yall are lucky.🍀 😊
Songs of Christopher Cross in the 80 s will always remind me of my first wonderful 10 days in Hong Kong when i was only 28 years old....Thanks for the great memories....

Thank you Morris, you described exactly what I felt watching these scenes above! We were happy and didn´t know.
Exactly. I know most people view their earlier days as simpler times. However, it was very much that way. The world was more hopeful then.
We never had the feeling of glamour and proportions that came from the US. Not a criticism. But in the UK I fondly remember that same feeling. Starsky & hutch, magnum, hart 2 hart my fave shows though 😀 ❤
I miss the 70's and 80"s. Gosh those were wonderful times. Yes, there were some flaws perhaps not perfect but they were easily the best times of my life.
Sad to think that generations will never experience what we did.😢
Miss the days being a kid, riding around with my mom in her VW beetle while listening to your songs.
Wow...me too! It was a red '72
My mom had a bug too, hers was red. I really miss those times too. ❤
😊cup
I will never forget the 80s..... Best time of my life... At the time I was unaware how good I had it and didn't know it.....
I like this song from the 80s I am llistening October 2024?
Sitting in my back yard listening to this song. I am 64 years of age. And it reminds me of the things I never said to that special someine. He is no longer with us. Memories are forever
We were so blessed to have grown up in those times.
Life will never be the same alright. Those were the days! Thank you Christopher Cross for being the soundtrack to the best years!
What a master piece. I grew up in the 70s and 80s. Best two decades ever for music
You were right, Mr Cross...
It will never be the same... 💔
Thank you so much for this masterpiece🙏🏻🩵🌀
You’re right…and this brings tear in my eyes!!😢❤❤
Don't you just love Christopher Cross, just love his music. Brilliant.
My twin sister and I ❤ed him. Sailing. Amazing he still tours. What a distinct, unique voice. 🎉 😊 Remember my twin, and those sweet memories ❤!
Wonderful to see Nicolette Larson singing by Chris' side. I loved her voice and her music too. Valerie Carter added some serious soulfulness to his songs as well. Sweet memories.
One of the finest artists America ever produced.The music, the voice, the lyrics add up to near perfection.Still fresh after forty plus years!!!!!
Great song! Oh the memories. Not a smartphone in sight. What a time to be alive.
In the mid-80's I was 14. My church youth took a trip to Austin. I had my first girlfriend. I held her hand in the church van. What a magical time. Austin was a small, quirky state capital having around 350,000 back then. I think the metro is over 2 million now. That 1980's Austin only exists in my memory now.
The 50s through the 80s when life was good. You are right Christopher it will never be the same.
My N°1 song ever since my teen era (I'm 56). Thank you Mr C. Cross. 😎
Me Too I'll be 58 later this year
I'm 50 and this was one of my favorite songs then and still is today. Do you remember "Solid Gold" with Dionne Warwick?
You know, you have to admit, we come from the best 10 years of our lives, the 1980s.👍
Me too,just turned 60. Such a first love heartbreak song!!!
The song, the voice, the arrangement - everything of this performance is absolutly outstanding. One of the best songs of all time!
His song is so true, I lost my husband just over a year ago and Christopher's words in this song are so touching and real and true!!! That's the way i feel. 😪😪
❤ I'm sure he's there every day in spirit with you.
Gob bless from Dublin Ireland
@@joehancock1179 Thank you so much, and yes he is, I feel that every secons since then 😪
Just beautiful. A snapshot in time of an American city. People just living their lives, as their lives were then.

Absolutely beautiful to let these 81y old ears 😎🎸🥁🎹🔥💨💨💨💨💨💨🎶
Born in 71 - what a wonderful time to grow up
70´s and 80´s musics and bands; I´m blassed to have lived these fantastic times...
Why do I miss this time so much. My soul was in this time.
You are not alone in that feeling.
Mine too.....😢😢😢
I wish the 80s were back when I was a 14 year old teenager in 1980 and when Raiders of the lost ark was at the movies when I was 15 in 1981such simple a time I miss them
Me too, wonderful time , and music. Time flys, 57 years old now. Greetz from Holland
I always saw Christopher Cross as the gentleman singer 🤟🤙👏👏
A true voice surrounded by an harmonious and positively beautiful orchestration. Mixed and mastered for the smoother listening experience, all in an optimistic life. Time machine.
This song is so sad, and yet the video makes me feel good seeing people having fun, playing outdoors, enjoying life
My Favorite Singer Of All Time, A Great Music Legend!!!!!
I agree 💯 💯 💯 %
I love Christopher Cross ❤❤❤
And his musical talents ❤🎸🎤 🎶 ❤
Song writer/composer, singer and guitarist❤
He does it all and does it excellently ❤❤
His voice is so unique and beautiful ❤️❤️
What a great snapshot of life in the 80’s.
Before the lyrics, it almost looked like the opening sequence of an early 80s sitcom.
Life is a sitcom.
Thought the same.
WKRP in Cincinnati....it was a lot like that.
Delightful
@@DougMcDave because sitcoms were a Snapchat of our actual lives and the openings showed life in whatever city they were filming. I love to look at these scenes so I will never forget what America used to be and look like and feel like
Austin Texas was a beautiful place in the 80s.
Most of America was the same.
@@cdcaleoChristopher Cross Day everyday! 🎉 😊 ❤
Will always remember this song. We just getting older. Not less appreciative of beautiful songs performed by great artists like CC today.
Absolutely ❤
I love Christopher ❤️❤️
Tiempos que no volverán, nos quedamos con su música, los 80 como los recordamos
his voice will live forever. fantastic. heard him so long ago and still love his songs.
This song is what we listened to while driving to pee wee hockey games! Ahhhh the 80's!
Great music. Those scenes mean so much to ppl now bc it was a time when politics wasn't infecting EVERYTHING. There's a time and place for that stuff.
Reminds me of my High School days in the Philippines....now I'm 59 and still loving Mr. Cross. Peace.
Great song. It brings back bittersweet memories. Sometimes I wish I could go back. But God is good to me and life is good
Thanks for all the great songs Chris . Sailing is my favorite . Wish the world was still lost in those good old days free and happy without all the tech distractions etc . God bless you all .
I couldn't believe it could exist a song like this... the first time I listen to this song was magical
Such a great song - and if I may say, it's an underrated one too!
80s 本当に楽しかった。それに街やスーパーにも クリストファークロス様の音楽が流れてました。懐かしい❤
JAPANより❤
If this song hasn't been part of my listening experience since I was born, then it still gets close to it. It was new in 1979, and I was born in 1980.
One of my favorite songs since December 1980.
Great time. I am glad that i was a teenager in 1980. Life was good.
And I, will never be the same without Chris. No i will never be the same without his music. Lol Love you Chris Thank you for the years of happiness with your music. Sending you blessings, love and light always. 🙏🏼🌺💋🦋🌸🌼🥹
Sweet words

Top 15 hit from the fall of 1980-Great song!
As an 80's teen, this reminds me how unified our country was. There was no news media drama between left and right. 49 states voted for Ronald Reagan. No social media and no phones. This really was the greatest times and we need wonderful times like this back!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE CHRISTOPHER CROSS. He’s my favorite singer of all time. Mr. Cross, can I get a signed picture? I’m a Disabled Vet who can’t leave the house now.

Such a beautiful song. Back in 1984, living in Aspen, CO I would listen to your album with this song so many times. Still do. Chapeau, Christopher.
I miss the Old Austin, was a great place to grow up, to bad its ruined forever.
Austin My Home . The way it use to be not the way it is today. Miss those days!
He looks like a very humble person, I'm glad I grew up listening to this music back in my country
I wish we had more singers like this.
i was around at the 80s but as a kid. best times and CC is awsome.
One of your masterpiece songs Mr Cross. Thank you to make us back in time surround with this amazing song.❤❤❤
Just love this song and Christopher!!❤️❤️
Perfect pitch and a clear voice.....Hit it Chris. Enjoyed this video a lot.
This is my absolute favorite song of yours, Christopher ❤️❤️❤️
I do love all of them though ❤❤
Thank you so very much for being who you are and bringing so much joy and love to me through your music!!! I love your awesome, soothing and sweet voice ❤❤
I love you Christopher Cross ❤❤❤
Cool video and love seeing Nicholette Larson singing with Christopher Cross. Their songs really marked that great time of life for me.
Love them both, RIP Nicolette.
Great to see this video!! I was at that Austin concert in 1981 where Nicolette Larson joined the band on stage!! Also noticed that clip of the soundcheck at the Frank Erwin Center!!
The world was our oyster! Simple times of our innocence when the oceans and forests were unexplored, vast, and thriving with life!
Danke am SIE, Mr. Cross, für Ihre Songs, die mich immer seit den 80'er Jahren bis heute begleitet haben ❤
What a great Austin time capsule! Loved the shot of the Paramount, which is where we saw you 2 years ago w/ Barton Strings. 💜
Love, love your smooth sounds back in the day and still decades later, NOW❤️🕊️🙏🤲♥️
Jolene you were my everything❤️♥️❤️. Missing you every day!!!
Reagans America folks as a 53 year old miss it
Que música maravilhosa. Comprei o Long Play por causa dela embora amasse Sailing,. Sou fã incondicional de Cristopher Cross. Abraços do Brasil!
i actually met the nephew of this guy about 8 years ago in new Mexico. He was from West Texas and they looked similar
Always a great song! And the video brings back great memories of Austin. Fantastic!
👍😍♥️😎🎶listening again.My favorite song he ever sang. There is a silent sadness.God Bless everyone’s week-end.
Man that really brings back some memories mixed in with Texas scenery. That first time she breaks your heart. You move on but you never ever forget.
Look how lovely it was in them days where people just got on with life. What did we import to change what we had and loved
Yup.

Awesome song and beautiful voice of Christopher Cross ❤ Your voice is like Freddie Mercury 😊
Best Times ever.....Uwe from Germany
What a voice. What a time.
I was 20 years old when this came out.I still love this song.
63 years,sure did love Nicollette,she did a duet with Steve Warnier ,who also didn't get his recognition
Was just a kid during the 80's, but seeing him in this video...😮❤❤❤😊😍😍
Ah the old days. High trust society.
Incredible to watch the video and realize how much has been taken away from us as a nation.
We took it all for granted.
