She was diagnosed with an aggressive form of leukemia in January 1981. She died in April 1981. 3 months later. Far too soon. It’s been over 40 years now and I still think about it. Yes, I’m pathetic.

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.

    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.

      What's so wrong about sex? If people didn't have it none of you would be here? Same goes for nudity, we weren't born with clothing, why are we so angry when a person isn't afraid to show their body?
      And politics? Music has been an incredible vehicle for politics, Jazz, Soul, Funk and folk musicians were actively involved the Civil Rights Movement Movement. Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Frank Zappa, Marvin Gaye, James Brown, Kurt Cobain, Sam Cooke, Tupac, Willie Colon etc. all wrote incredibly important and beautiful social music that changed people's minds and hearts for the better! I've always disliked this narrow minded idea to box-in artists. To try and cut their creativity for conformist idea of "good" or "well-behaved". I love this song, but that doesn't mean it should be used blueprint to discard so many other interesting forms of musical expression.

    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.

The song fit the island vibe so well. Every time I hear this song it takes me back to those days.

    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.

    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.

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 ❤️.

    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.

We played it also at his celebration of life two years ago now. I still have a sad time about losing him to cancer also as he was a fireman like my Dad. This song has lots of memories to me of what he did on that chartered plane! Love and miss him dearly and buy a white rose, every year at this time. The white rose is the sign of farewell and some of his ashes are out here in BC with which the River took to the ocean. Farewell my brother!

    I sang this song to my cat when we would sit & watch the birds. She passed away today and this song fills me with love and better times with her. RIP Maggie. ♥️🐾

      Actually he's not. He's won 5 Grammys for this album. He also won an Oscar for Movie Theme song (1981 movie Arthur) "The best you can do". He's won countless Emmy's and Academy awards.
