This is the best rendition of the song I have ever heard. WOW, it makes me wanna take a drive or go to sleep - all sorts of things. Thanks for the post.
yes, yes, yes. i can imagine on a sail boat with the wind in my face in my own world and thinking about what is going on in this crazy world today. just leave me alone and dream! love this song!!
I love this...I know its old,but it just takes me to that place of Nantucket where life is like a box of chocolates,except in Nantucket,You pick what you want...Thats what you make it...
I must say that I do like Avant interpretation of sailing.... Having listened to the original one back in the days while in the military, I must say this version shows heart I will buy it.

this is how i feel when i first made love to my husband on our wedding nite dang so so long ago over 19 yr so sad mmmmm lov this song i pay anything to get that nite back now it's just WCW mmmm.
I like them versions of the song, I listen to it at least 3-5 times a day. I only 20 and this is good music unlike trash music of today, I using both version of that song for my book nld though music from then to now. I can relatle to that by both Christopher Cross and Avant, its a great song.
i loved this song as a child growing up in the hood..i have to say Avant shocked me . This is not an easy song to cover. But his rendition is so simple, yet subtle......BEAUTIFUL JOB!
i hear this on the radio all the time here at home but didn't know who the fuck it was because they hardly announce the artist. damm Avant had no idea this was you. this shit should cross over man and make you a big star if pop radio picks it up. this is your song man. loved the original version back in the 70s i think or 80, even remembe Dionne doing this on Solid Gold. man what else can i say Avant.
Christopher Cross would be proud. It takes a true artist of the craft to even attempt this classic hit. I hope 'Sailing' sails Evant to never land and into the classic superstardom that he deserves "Its not too far to never never land'. 'Oh the canvas can do miracles'
Sorry Davidhg, it is one thing to disagree but you're just wrong. I grew up listening to the original and the way Evant did it is just perfect. His voice is like a cool breeze. Makes me want to go sailing and i've never been. Perhaps you should listen to some of Evant's other songs then try and post a valid argument. If you still have the same opinion after that then I say that you are 'tone death'!
This song brings back memories of mama waking me up early n the morning to go to school listening to The Russ Castle morning show on WFBC AM in Greenville SC.
I was just 8 years old. It just seemed my day would be ok every tyme I heard this song. It would be thirty years until I would hear it again this time a remake by one of my favorite singers, Avant.
Seriously? Avant may be a good singer (may) but his voice is much too soft to sing this song and do it justice. No emotion, none of the energy Cross put into it.
If he sang this song on American Idol, he might make it to Hollywood but he'd catch hell for song selection.
I have to so disagree with you, he makes this song so beautiful i feel myself falling through each line he sings its like melting honey. His voice amazing you don't have to sing song harsh and hard. He makes this sound you pure and soft. Then you compare him to singing on american idol he has much more talent considering his made it without the need of a television show.
You can disagree, no problem. I'm not one to take it personal. But I'm not talking about singing it "harsh or hard", just with some emotion. He lacks any feeling in the song. Christopher Cross just had a better, stronger voice and it fits this song better. I wouldn't mind hearing John Legend sing it.
BOOOOOO,SORRY JUST NOT THAT SATISFYING FOR ANY WOMEN.
