Christopher Cross Sailing Live

[jaguargmail]

Excelente interpretacion

[Brainnumbedme]

the new remakes are good but the original is the best criss cross is a genius

[Colin3066]

A band in total harmony, so much pleasure, excellent.

[Pimpin163]

this song is a classic

[PAKETEMON]

his voice remains intact

[rrdavila153]

Christopher Geppert from San Antonio Texas. Was a local favorite in the Group Flash. Playing at the Pussy Kat back in the 60's. Became Christoper Cross and the rest is history,

Loved his work with Michael Omartian. Chris has really mastered his craft,

[MyDiegoMessi]

I thought I had MSN Messenger disabled...than at 2:39 in the song I get a message and I'm Sailing! Thumbs up if you caught it and thought you had a message.

[7095ful]

bellissima conzone indimenticabile .....bravo ed eccelente cantante cri.anto7095

[MrAkilwil]

Never been sailing before...I'll try to get the chance before life's end. This song makes it sound wonderful!!

[MARQUITUX]

2:38  "tu cu tin". xD

[NelsonClick]

I don't wish to take anything away from Christopher Cross but he's always going to be Chris Geppert to me; that awkward fat boyish man with the beautiful angel voice that you love to hear. I'm old Austin and not embarrassed about it. I still say Town Lake too by the way.

[ghccify]

Linda demais.

[MrAnthony78666]

i learned to play this song for my mom when i was 10. i like it very much. but 'aor'...hmm, i think of it as elevator music. but, whatever...........

[isleofmehr]

this song is cleansing

[fbanswers]

This is borrrrrrrrrrrrring



[rommelquilantang]

trollinnnnnngggggggggg!!!!!!!!



[kate777dee]

So talented guy...love all his songs..when is he going to Asia for a concert?

[lesdee]

music today sucks.. and i have a strong feeling it'l suck harder in the future.. the industry will never go back the way it is in the past.. where music will just lift you up in the air.. they all will die, but not the classics. thre are alot of potential musicians today that might change the world once again, but sadly doesnt have enough money to share thier talents to the world. sad. so sad.

[TheSailormark]

talent is everything

[tarugokagmuri]

I like KORN, Nine Inch Nails, Deftones, Combichrist, SwitchBlade Symphony.... etc... But when I listen to this kind of music it changes everything.. very nice rhythm and lyrics... hoooaaa!

[annahrwth242]

@tarugokagmuri Lyrics are beautiful...and they draw u in...music is magical....and a blessing...enjoy...:D

[kng2bishop]

nice to be able to sing exactly the same decades later.....

[jednightingale91]

If i i will be having my kids, i wouldn't introduce them to the artists today like Justin bbieber.... but instead on Christopher cross, richard marx, bryan adams...etc.

[CFSprayAndPray]

@jednightingale91 hey ur right cuz im only 12 and my dad introduce christopher cross,Jim Croce , John Denver, Frank Sinatra, Cat Stevens, The Platters, The Beatles and more oldies or classics and i love them.

[jednightingale91]

@CFSprayAndPray yeah, i get what you mean. Look at the music industry today, always talkin on sex and money. If you're goodlooking and hot, you'll gonna be famous.. unlike before that is purely on talent.. just sayin..

[SafeCycle360]

@CFSprayAndPray Nice job Dad!

[jamesdhayward]

@jednightingale91 Agree 100% with your comment.. writers like paul carrack, Christopher cross, jimmy buffett will live on. I'm a 70's born kid and get great pleasure in listening to this music along with some of the music from the bands in the 90's.. but bieber music i have no time for.. just marketing hype music..

[tundra12555]

@jednightingale91 absolutely! music these days don't compare to those back then. I grew up on Bryan adams, toto, mr cross, ect. love those days and i'm only 33.

[jednightingale91]

If i i will be having my kids, i wouldn't introduce them to the artists today like Justin bbieber.... but instead on Christopher cross, richard marx, bryan adams...etc.

[bruinsar1]

this is awesome!!! takes me back to 12 years old going to rockey neck state beach in CT.I'm 45 now and this song is so cool!!!!!!!!

[thedaddyof3girls]

The first time I heard this song I was on a family vacation to Hawaii - go figure:-)

Every time I hear this song it takes me to a very special place and I can feel a little better for a while.

[stuge4life]

i love this song i also like the n sync version live

[Konti081]

Hermosa cancion..

[JustonGroove]

Like the 2.39 ^^

[1liger]

This song takes me to those places ..... Great music like this seems so very rare these day's

[Johnatan734]

[RonnieRambin]

Support balding musicians!, Awesome song played this at buttons with nu dawn band, they introduced me to alot of songs ive never heard and will never forget.

[12sakar]

Love it!

[TPLOKREW]

As of today, there are 79 douche bags that don't know what REAL MUSIC is.

[TOPACI012]

q hermosa cnacion la esucho haece 1 año yno me aburroo

[MrRmclee]

i love your song men!!!

[1southernbird]

My dad took me out on his houseboat, pulled to shore, and spray painted a large rock with the letters USN. I left 2 weeks later for the Navy. This song was on the radio.

[anoviceatknitting]

Music to listen to after a horrible exam.

[fbajordan]

j'ai 40 ans mon père me faisait écouter ça enfant, j'ai toujours aimé , toujours génial à écouter, merci

[badger53227]

Nice Tom Anderson Strat!

[sarahleehall]

my all time go to song. better than any wine to relax with.

[bollacious]

One of the keyboard player in this video is Kiki Ebsen, daughter of Buddy ("Jed Clampett") Ebsen. She is an artist in her own right.

[annahrwth242]

@bollacious Wow!!! thanx for the info! How cool!....:D

[doulos737]

@bollacious Wow! Didn't know that. I still see Ol' Jed on reruns of The Beverly Hillbillies. I did a book report in H.S. movie class on The Wizard of Oz and learned that Mr. Ebsen was originally considered to be cast for the role of the wizard, but I believe he got sick and the role went to the other dude... :)

[gritsnsand]

@doulos737 Okay.. sort of close. Ebsen was to be the Tin Man, but the metalic paint they used caused a bad allergic reaction making him very sick and requireing him to be replaced.

[doulos737]

@gritsnsand OH, OK, my bad! Oops! Well, the final cast still did a great job in that classic movie, and good ol' Jed moved on and did quite well with his bubblin' crude... :)

[Clothahump1]

@bollacious - that would be the very pretty redhead visible behind Chris's right shoulder.

[SafeCycle360]

@bollacious does she live in Beverly Hills, lol

[MMRD50]

@bollacious I can see the resemblance and she's pretty!

[handsupbud]

We we're all so young then and now we're not.

[anaselhaouat]

hey look it's art vandelay

[hursty40]

what a fantastic tune

[esampson011]

OMG, this is just about one of my all time favs. Back in those days we did not know what he looked like, then when you saw him the voice just dont fit the person but the music is simply amazing.

thank you Mr. Cross.

[joonas2701]

Thumbs up if you heard msn chat voice at 2:39

[rvacquisition]

hey drumtour621, i am glad someone your age appreciates a great piece of music. no auto-tune, no pro tools , no studio tricks here.......once in awhile someone writes a song that takes your soul to a faraway place out of this world. i wish other people your age could be exposed to this and learn from it

[80pec]

I love You Maria Jose, 85 . 70 (A.M.L.)  TE AMARE POR SIEMPRE. JC.

[moodyfan4ever]

Yes, this makes me think of the Seventees, when I had my teenage time, great music, great decade.

[thinz1000]

beautfitul

[mrgreeneviar]

Love this song so much...

[ori5010]

Hermosa canción,hubiese querido vivir mis mejores épocas en esos años pero nací un poco más tarde..No importa, linda música!

[unikka26]

whenever i hear this kind of music, i feel like im in the other world!

[superriori]

I cry ...

[AxeMoose]

That felt good :)

[mudskeenmedia]

2,183,673 views.. 2,183,673 sailed.

[romero1981]

Damn great voice!!



[aculturemind]

Don't like that Strat. The acoustic always sounds better in this song.

[jnignon]

Always no number 1

[123danielfernandes]

Essa excelente música que marcou em muito a minha adolescência e juventude nos anos 80. O maravilhoso é que as músicas desse excelente cantor ainda mexe e muito com nossas sinceras e boas emoções.

[germanysjim]

Im in San Jose, driving I-17 to Santa Cruz with my girl hugging my right side as my Dodge hurtles the embankments , I cant take my eyes off her, I cant stop thinking of her, What a woman, She backs me up like I do her, Perfect trust and gratification.

[sentimentalement60]

Superbe !!! Nostalgie quand tu nous tiens .....

[jesuspsr13]

Simply the best....

[lansinggirl35]

My good friend is sailing right now!!! On Lake Michigan... Oh how I wish I were there CRANKING this song! C. Cross has a BEAUTIFULL voice!

[jimmyB7296]

One of the best songs ever written :) I love this song and it is in my top favorite songs of all time :)

[pk2stereo]

y ese sonidito del msn jajaja hahahaha

[zhulle]

some people really doesn't know how to appreciate real good music....

[azianbarbi]

78 ppl obviously do NOT know how to appreciate TRUE music when they hear it..they must be part of the Gaga Garbage Minionhood. ;D

[karenbclb]

It's not far down to paradise at least it's night for me... great transition from the 70's to the 80s ...Sailing takes me away

[TzzX78]

Fantastic, genious, a song for a life time, and a life time of a song, words that mean nothing, but have very deep meaning on the beholder. A song that on paper has an ending, but spiritually never ends, A time traveler song. Christopher I will never have enough money to pay you for what this song is worth. Why there are songs that will for ever bring the best of people. Christopher you inmortalized this song.

[modelcarguy55]

This is not just great music or a terrific song... it's a time in one's life, if you're fortunate. A time when you could attach a musical memory to your travels through an otherwise hum-drum existence and make it special. Cross was/is very gifted, a regular guy with a great voice and knack for coming up with timeless lyrics. Thanks Chris.

[sweettunes03]

music for my soul...........sweettunes

[oo0BrandonLee0oo]

[DiscoverGuitarOnline]

[wildcatwes4]

[MrJazzypep]

Christophers vocals are of an unique quality the band awesome, grooved all the way through the song i felt like i was there Great song!!!!

[Bodebodango]

One of the most beautiful songs written! And I'm 6'4 240 lbs,and not gay! Thats says something!

[annahrwth242]

@Bodebodango great mind's think alike my friend...u enjoy life..that is what this song is about...who would not groove to this song...get on a boat, with your dog or cat...a bottle or brew, or tea...and just escape...and thank God for the beauty of the ocean or lake...now that is my paradise...was my brother's last wish...and he was very macho!! ...green beret he was....xo...btw...I am a woman giving u xoxo

[Bodebodango]

[annahrwth242]

@Bodebodango I'm back here to my friend....tell u what...when I go to Nags Head...I want u to join me for a ride....bring family and friends...the more..the merrier..xo

[Bodebodango]

@annahrwth242 I live in California,and the same goes for you!

[DERedhead65]

@Bodebodango this song has Always been Timeless... and Chris has a "one of a kind" voice and is SO COOL, love to watch him play and sing... this has been one of the GREATEST songs of my Life, Still is... just BEAUTIFUL and it really does "take you away" to another place, another time perhaps, to someone or something, and evokes feelings inside of your Soul, at least for me anyhow... I "dedicated" this song on Capt Phil Harris (Deadliest Catch) profile, as he meant "alot" to me too, "fitting"...

[symmetricalastic]

78 people have no taste in music if they don't like this song

[fabalishous]

I'll be sailing away on a boat in a lil over two weeks and just like the song, I can't wait to get away from everyday life for a few days!!! We all need to get away sometimes, thats for sure :)

[Thesuziebear]

Fantastic, can't even mark it out as an era? Possibly cos I'm 50 and have alway's loved his music .... ride like the wind is sublime......can't understand why this man's music hasn't had more acclaim?

[DERedhead65]

EXQUISITE...

[torpedoboy4]

jodonte1

That comment is really mean...yet somehow hilarious:)

great song, Mr. Cross!!

[kng2bishop]

holy crap, did his voice get better with age, weird....

[youcdtube]

He sounds better as he got older! amazing

[Porcotto88]

2:39 msn sound

[georgepayasotv]

buena buena

[drumtour621]

Im 21...full sleeve of tattoos...9 piercings...play in a total rock band. I look like i would listen to megadeath to put me to sleep. One thing I know is THIS IS REAL MUSIC. The opening guitar line spells music. Please pray for the generation under me, they have no idea what anything like this is, or that its even out there. Keep supporting great artists like Mr Cross. Toto, doobie brothers, chris cross etc...theres nothing better out there. BEAUTIFUL SONG

[DERedhead65]

@drumtour621 AMEN to THAT! ^5

[annahrwth242]

@drumtour621 You my friend have taste...xoxo..I grew up when punk rock was be all and end all....I was jammin to Frank, Sammy, Marley, Carlos, Jerry, Alice Cooper,...a whole salad...Knowledge is power...yet it is a tear in your hand when a lyric hits u smack in your face.....music comes in all forms...it is poetry...u are blessed when u shed a tear from hearing it...:D

[DCussen]

@drumtour621 You're interesting.

[Stratmahn]

@drumtour621 Yo Drumtour......you can never hide a good song that's for sure! I'm 54..no tattoos, no piercings..but if I listened to your music and it spoke to me, I'd love it just the same. The 70's and 80's ..trust me...had some zingers for sure, posers and copycats with zero originality. They just copied the hits and popular songs ...they brought their music from the head not their heart, and it sucked. We just lacked 'the net' to bitch about it globally! :=) Rock on brother!

[mattdaddyful]

@drumtour621 Chris Cross???You mean that untalented One Hit WONDER???

[cetera06]

@mattdaddyful hahah, it always amaze me how the new kids post their ignaorance!...

[airager]

@drumtour621 Well said! You have great taste in music.

[woundimaging]

@drumtour621 Hell Yeah Dude!

[baardk2]

@drumtour621 Fantastic comment to a fantastic song!

[swlago]

@drumtour621 Well said sir.

[unclebob53703]

@drumtour621 Sweet

[DERedhead65]

this song brings back GREAT memories of the 80s, and is one of THE BEST songs of my Life... very soothing, ZEN... LOVE IT! I miss Chris' voice out there on the airwaves...

[OOTWL]

this is the best song from my earlier child hood, it played every time that i would go for a drive with my dad, tramendous memory.  "hlm"

[bbbhhgg]

This song gets better and better every time i hear it

[EddieRamon]

mann the beginning always tears up my eyes

[DERedhead65]

@EddieRamon me TOOOOOO ^5

[lupolx]

thanks to Chris for letting us listen to his beautiful music without having to fill the greet of the money daemons

[xico6960]

Christopher Cross as singer of this wonderful melody is simply fantastic.

This is the music that will be for the eternity.

My best wishes for the people that has created this music , that is sky's music.

[paint4dave]

hats off to him for not taking it off You Tube

[freedomland11]

That drummer in the background is why I keep on pressing the replay button LOL!!! Com'on!! LOL

[JMichael65]

Ok, Cross sounds incredible after all of these years. What a beautiful, almost effortless sounding voice. Can you imagine just how awful some of today's so-called singers are going to sound 30 years from now? Ah, miss these days.

[carcedo1985]

it was relaxing... until that computer sound in 2:40 exploded!!!...

[DERedhead65]

one of THE BEST songs of My Life... so relaxing and serene... miss Chris' voice...

[kammykens]

I never get tired of hearing this song!

[kalburiumstormbreath]

Thumbs up if you thought you were getting a I.M. @ 2:39

[SUZUKITENPEI]

素晴らしい！

３０年前と同じ歌声だ。

[cooltooth112]

Does anybody know why the Criss Cross lp "Nothing Will Change" was never released in the US. It was made in 1991 and featured Eric Johnson on the entire lp.

[cooltooth112]

There are a couple of Chris Cross' tunes on youtube with Eric Johnson. Not only did they jam together before they both were famous, I believe Eric ended up on a lot of Criss' studio songs. He also spent time jamming with Stevie Ray Vaughn. All three of them came out of the same studio in Austin, TX.

[chrism76]

Dreamy 80's!

How many of us would like to revisit that time.

[cooltooth112]

This guy grew up jamming with Eric Johnson.

[jasonmmm1]

love, Love LOVE this song!!!! SO many memories!!! Thanks, Mr.Cross!!

[Itsnattatooma]

2:39 - You got a message bro

[badfishranch]

Theme song of growing up on Galveston Bay!

[JG24rlzsun]

Reminds me of traveling to Florida as a kid and then with my wife and kid the last few years. Something about a special song that will always bring back the memories and this one is one of them that does that. Thanks Christopher! Love it!

[room107b]

this song is the best ever, followed by 10CC I'm not in love, and Judy Tzuke Stay with me till dawn.

[medina236]

sin duda alguna esta cancion es una de las mas bellas escrita por cristopher cross, cuando sonaba en venezuela por aquellos años 80, era realmente hermoso escucharla y volvese a enmorar de aquella joven bella señorita que tenia como novia YURIS,donde quiera que estes esta es para ti mi amor

[Spainiswonderful]

Muchísimas gracias Cetera por esta preciosa canción. La tenía guardada en mis favoritos pero alguien reclamó derechos de autor y el video fue eliminado pero ya veo que hay otros. Me encanta volver a escucharla siempre que me siento un poquito desanimado porque me hace sentir mejor, será porque me transporta a los mejores años de mi vida.

Con tu permiso la añado a mis favoritos :)

[cetera06]

@Spainiswonderful de nada amigo, gracias por visitar mis videos, te mando un fuerte abrazo!

[celvir2001]

Amigo yo soy otro que te agradece mucho por ese gran tema!! es una letra que si la pudiéramos utilizar en nuestras vidas siempre este mundo fuera diferente, en verdad se te agradece y me siento orgulloso de pertenecer de la época de esta música, saludos!!!

[coriaazz]

@cetera06 al puro centavo compa con esta cancion esta padrisima la neta ami me recuerda un buen años atras y la neta es lo maximo esta rola saludos y gracias por compartir

[juanceniceros1]

@cetera06 me inclluyo si me lo permiten Chicago de los grandes en los 70's. Juan Ceniceros de Caborca, Sonora , Mexico

[2000jjcjfl26]

Wow...his voice has not changed at all! I cried a little bit listening tot his song.

[ekedolphin]

He did a better job on this one, by far, than in the live performance of 1980 which is also on YouTube. And had better instrumentation, too.

I love this song.

[wigglesfan]

This song is so calming - it always makes me sleepy!

[mikepariswater]

Man I was 14 in 1980 going on one of my first boxing trips. We stopped off to eat at a Boston Pizza and one of our senior fighters walked up to the juke box and this song cam on. Ya ...this song came on and it just poured into my soul and filled me with passion.  I'll never forget that moment in time, in my life and thanks for the great song. It gets better every year, oh and by the way i won that bout. Take care Mr. Cross. Your a real contender.

[freedomland11]

@mikepariswater...way2go mike :) glad you won that bout. And I just love hearing old stories and there connection with classic songs like this one. Although I'm 17, I can really appreciate lovely music like this. I'm taking ballet and i always have this song on my i-touch lol

Winter

[overev1]

one of the all time great songs

[mrfunnyman99]

I remember sitting on a Beach in Marco Island Fl with my favorite cocktail and cigar and this song came on the radio.I thought I was in heaven!

[Valtinho280682]

Eu amo essa música... cresci ouvindo... mas uma coisa me chamou a atenção nesse vídeo, ou o baterista está em extase por tocar essa música (o que acho bem difícil) ou ele está bem doidão... deem uma olhada aos 2:00 minutos.

Afffff.

[luizfarah]

Nao se fazem mais musicas como essa (parece papo de velho, mas eh verdade)

[15907110]

?????

[Edson26690]

Esplendoroso a melodia desta música, aliás, todas do Christopher Cross e Banda. Parabéns , muito mais sucesso e que continuem a brindar-nos com letras impecáveis. Edson F Gregorio - Brasil - Minas Gerais - Varginha.

[ih8suvz]

This one was awesome too.

[ih8suvz]

I liked the one where he was wearing the Earl Campbell jersey and playing the double neck bass.

[cooltooth112]

@ih8suvz He was playing a 12 string-the other neck was just a standard 6 string. No bass.

[gizer0017]

wooo..78 dislikes..??young people now dont appreciate this kind of music...it replenish your mind and brings peacefulness in our hearts..this is what you call music...

[VictimOfBoredom]

@gizer0017 Ho do you know the people who disliked it are young? Is it not possible for older people to have different tastes in music? -_-

[VictimOfBoredom]

@gizer0017 Ho do you know the people who disliked it are young? Is it not possible for older people to have different tastes in music? -_-

[cicalone70]

where are his hairs ??

[scorpion2958]

@cicalone70 kill yourself.

[cicalone70]

@scorpion2958 the truth is hard.. !! His hairs are together your sanity .. missing

[ajohnson762]

Great song. Love it. Takes me back to when i was young and riding in the car with my mom and dad.

[15907110]

I am curious my friend what do you consider young, 5 10 15?
