When im having a bad day i listen to Avant. His voice and songs are always just right..Especially this song. He is a great artist

[ibecece]

I love his rendition of this song! Not to take anything from Chistopher Cross, I just like the smoothness of Avant's voice.

[8712Truth]

MUSIC IS TERRIBLE NOW, ALL TYPES. From Country to Hip Hop it sucks today. All The artist that music that have emotion and meaning should all flood the market and push out this BS that comes out now... BTW Awesome song. Shouts to Christopher Cross



[francisMHwhite89]

Avant covered this very well.

[TheRealRALI]

Drake disliked this 8 times...

[tgilkes31]

Beautiful song.. Can't get enough of it..

[thatssoomorgan]

[candiieata]

Still Listening To This In 2011. ( :

[ImS0Pr3ttyLike]

FYYYYYE..I LOVE HOW AVANT SANG THIS!!!

[lawlife1975]

This is one of the simpliest....most beautiful songs i have ever heard.

[MrStudly1978]

I love my wife Crystal.

[gdhdlvr]

Love the original, that was me era, but this kid did a great job on this. Go Avant!

[fashionistachica]

this song makes me want to get a house on a pristine beach with white sands and clear blue waters, and learn how to sail lol

[nathalyone]

FLAWLESS!!!!

[fashionistachica]

well its not far down to paradise...

[MsHeyyyou2]

one of the most beautiful songs out in a long time!

[danise68]

THIS WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS, SANG BY THE ORIGINAL ARTIST. WELL... THAT'S NOT TRUE ANYMORE. AVANT... TAKES THIS SONG TO ANOTHER LEVEL, VERY RELAXING JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES AND LISTEN............I TOLD YOU SO.....LOL!!!!!

[shellytherealtor]

Love this song, he did this! One of the best remakes I've heard as well. I agree with misslaidlaw, and Shawn!

[23MsJazzypooh]

i love this song so much it just make think about the good...

[misslaidlaw]

I have to agree with Shawn boy this is probably one of the best remakes I've heard as well. The original makes me cry even though it's just a song about a man who loves to sail in his boat. Love this track and Avant, I've never heard of you but wow... dope remake,.....

[m3g1]

@misslaidlaw never heard of Avant? wtf...? hehe where have u been living? =D

[misslaidlaw]

@m3g1 i've been living in the 70s and 80s where all the best music is

[MsHeyyyou2]

i love this song! It is a great riding song, like another person stated. This reminds me of my families long vacation drives in the the 80's listening to the soft soul music. Just beautiful and relaxing!

[MsMofaith]

I totally Love it!!!!

[cheryllynn49]

Best Remake of a song ever...

[MegaYannaboo]

DON'T READ THIS CUZ IT ACTUALLY WORKS. YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY FROM THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE, TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE, HOWEVER IF YOU DON'T POST THIS TO THREE VIDEOS YOU WILL DIE WITHIN TWO DAYS. NOW THAT YOU HAVE STARTED READING THIS DON'T STOP.THIS IS SO SCARY! POST THIS TO OVER FIVE OTHER VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES. WHEN YOUR ARE DONE PRESS F6 AND YOUR CRUSH'S NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG WORDS. THIS IS SO SCARY BUT IT WORKS

[Jagentry30]

[Xzamilloh]

Hands down the best remake of Christopher Cross' classic!!! Bravo Avant!!!!

[lovelyladyd88]

[yeahokay1500]

[spearson3177]

@shawnboy36 - Christopher Cross. But this version kills the original

[ladyd20111]

I love this song one of my favs

[whymelani]

[misssherrilynn2]

One time I went sailing with the love of my life. Ill never forget it.

[40mbooh]

im VERY picky when it comez to artistz doin renditionz of 80z hitz..some cant pull it off.. but i think avant really did his thang..and christopher cross is probably somewhere grinin hard.. THUMBZ UP.

[kdedwards]

NSYNC Version is really good as well but this version is GREAT!!

[MsHolmar]

Kidding...it's a stereotype...I just picture a clean shaven guy in deck shoes sipping on wine or pirates... In all honestly, I love this. I never thought I would hear a version I liked better than Christopher Cross and this is it. Thank you for making it. It puts me in another world...

[MsHolmar]

Black people don't sail!



[dashonte13]

@MsHolmar lol ive been before its really nice

[taitalia76]

[misssherrilynn2]

[777fortress]

this songs takes me away on a boat of love

[theladyboss2010]

A MASTERPIECE AND A MASTER DOING WHAT HE DO!!!

[dekken231]

love this but have to say i love Christopher Cross's better

[JellyPickled]

Get in your car late at night, around 1 am, drive to absolutely nowhere, and play this while you are driving. One of the most relaxing things you will experience.

[akamizzT]

@JellyPickled

LMBO that sounds unsafe yet relaxing lol! 1am to nowhere? LOL just drive where there is civilization! =P

[JellyPickled]

@akamizzT

haha 1am to nowhere as in you have absolutely no destination yet you continue to just drive without a care in the world.. getting away from civilization would be a plus, cause whilst listening to this song you would feel like you were the only person alive lol it's a good feeling :-)

[larryt83]

@JellyPickled thats so true

[butterfly092175]

@JellyPickled sounds divine!

[butterfly092175]

@JellyPickled sounds divine! 

[GenjiZerk]

@JellyPickled maybe if you're high, Then yeah I could say it would be very relaxing.

[GenjiZerk]

he kind of sounds like Chris Brown >_>

[JackiaMatice]

@GenjiZerk I was soooo thinkin the same thing

[GenjiZerk]

@JackiaMatice Yeah, or maybe we could say Chris Brown sounds like Avant LOL.

[Kumkani]

@GenjiZerk I don't hear any autotune...or screams of "stop hitting me" in the background

[GenjiZerk]

@Kumkani You got to admit Avant sounds like a better version of Chris Brown - the dancing

[Kumkani]

@GenjiZerk to be honest I'm not very familiar with most of Chris Brown's stuff just the few things I've heard on the radio and what mostly stands out is the autotune effect they use on his voice. but I'll look up the song, I like to see different perspectives :)

[Nicole9507dr]

@GenjiZerk NOT!!!!He sounds NOTHING like Chris Brown. Chris Brown sounds like a beyottch when he sings with his high pitch.

[GenjiZerk]

@Nicole9507dr I mean, obviously you do think CB sounds a little like Avant. For you to assume I was talking about his high pitch :)

[SKYHIGHDOVE]

@GenjiZerk no he dont :\

[beckyduque2011]

@SKYHIGHDOVE i agree with you totally... where the heck are these people getting the resemblance of chris brown?.... they trippin.

[mlke]

@JellyPickled i got chills reading this just thinking about it

[dragaan]

@JellyPickled What's more relaxing? Sailing to absolutely nowhere late at night... :)

[deloco18]

@dragaan .......under a full moon and clear sky.

[bzandaz]

@JellyPickled I DID THIS ONE DAY IT WAS RAINING AND I WENT TO THE LAKE AND SAT IN MY CAR THEN GOT OUT THE CAR!!!IT FELT LIKE I WAS IN A MOVIE AND THAT SONG WAS PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND!!!!!

[ThePinkyndabrain]

@JellyPickled sounds like an awesome plan .. :)

[karteablake]

@JellyPickled I totally agree with you.........even driving on the express way with this playing is relaxing.

[hotsugargirl]

@JellyPickled I have done that before, so soothing! :)

[chip131313]

Im not the biggest fan of remakes.The original version should have never been remade,BUT,this is a helluva lot better than I expected.Greay job Avant and thank you for not destroying this song.

[fashionistachica]

seriously his voice.....it's so smooooth

[fashionistachica]

love this <3

[rasronin]

It's been digitized, so it sounds better, but the pace is not the same. I prefer the original. Sorry avant, the original still a classic and will remain on my ipod.

[neeky622003]

he sounds like Chris Brown at 3:16 to 3:19

[TJCollins21]

@neeky622003 He DOES!

[Winner8092]

@neeky622003 i said the exact same thing lol

[jeninemilo]

i thank you everyday james for sending me this song !!

[shawnboy36]

Wowwwwww............... One of the best remakes I've ever heard. Fantastic job.

[Dria210]

[lovinglife105]

He is the master of remaking a song!!!! Better than the original!!!

[Rosemarie0001]

[Zemmi]

[charrisse100]

[shellytherealtor]

[RandomTypeKind]

this took my breath away when i heard it for the first time

[beautyjbfnc]

@RandomTypeKind mee toooooo! I was driving to class and I couldnt wait to get home and look it up!!!!

[mrslisa706]

Wow this is sooo nice,i like it alot!

[Paco804]

this remake is AWESOME .. Perfect.

[devonj1]

love love it so much sitting on the side of my bed thinking about letting go and be free great remake

[RyaNs1984]

surely you have to have permission from the original artist to cover a song am i right.

so if christopher cross had no problem with him covering it then i dont really see what all the fuss is about.

just such a powerful song really....christophers is and always will be the better version. but this comes close in 2nd. Beautiful Avant. Beautiful!

[themysteryrapper]

THIS CRAP IS HORRIBLE DRECK! Might as well have puchaced a karaoke of sailing and sung over it in a studio. HE BRINGS ZERO to the music itself but a cheap drum machine and an overused synth line in the intro. THIS IS JUST OVERSUNG KARAOKE..not a COVER nor a REMAKE.

A REMAKE is when you take lyric and BASIC melody and ALL ELSE IS YOUR OWN.

Karaoke, is when you take 99% of the music and ONLY the vocal differs.

Aretha's Bridge over trouble water is a REMAKE. HER sound...others lyric.

THIS SUCKS!

[Paco804]

@themysteryrapper :  HATER.

[MsFIRSTLADY35]

@themysteryrapper ROTFLMFAAAAAAAOOOOOOO AT YOU! YOU CRAZY AS HELL!

[kayladavis2009]

i like this one, avant did a really good job....but im sorry, there is nothing like the original

[biebergurl20]

sometimes i think michael jackson wrote this song

[Refining1]

@biebergurl20 This does sound like something Michael Jackson would sing. Bet he would've sounded just as good.

[Xzamilloh]

@Refining1 Let's not discredit Avant's voice by comparing his to Michael Jackson's..... it's two distinct sounding voices that are bring different appeal to whatever they sing......

[kayladavis2009]

@Refining1 yeah i agree with you. michael would have sounded freakin awesome, but it doesnt sound too much like him....

[jase1311]

whatever is going on my life everything just stops when this song comes on...it just takes me away into peacefulness

[SimsVideoWatcher1]

i so love this remake! avant could sing this to my any time

[jestenaj]

This song just takes me somewhere...beautiful.....

[KimMessengerOfRap]

This song "takes me away".

[2009Denisem]

WOW!!! Amazing.. OMGoodness chills and mega goosebumps...

The way he sings this tune is truly taking me away! PHEW!!!

Thank you @THRILLAKILLA187 for sharing this beautiful beautiful tune!

Thank you drakeboy1 for an awesome post~!

[GRAHAM5020]
