Avant - Sailing with text lyrics

[TheSeriousBlaque]

One of THE nicest covers evah! Beautiful song all Avant had to do is (as Will Downing says) make it sound pretty.

[contesatatelive1]

yall are haters. dang, if you dont like it, kick rocks and dont listen to it., ITS JUST THAT SIMPLE. Such losers. people who have to find something to do with their miserable time and go on peoples music pages, facebooks and tear someone down. LOSERS!!!! Avant, thumbs up. He performed this song with such feeling the other night! KEEP IT UP :)

[kymijai]

i love the oringinal and Avant's version, its a beautiful song

[iLoveLinkinParke15]

WTF this music is ass

[pmarkeise]

This song takes away all the pains and helps me sail to a different scene while still in the rough..........

[MyEbony18]

y are their 11 dislikes???..are these ppl deaf omg

[QueenKibibi]

Christopher Cross did this tune back in the 80s. Avant isn't the original artist.....

[diamondlaw48]

i raped the likee button n da replay button

[meppsims]

Love this! Avavt is a very under rated, very talented artist!

[QDeezy01]

avant stole this from a reggae record and turned it english

[makawao3343]

His voice takes me right to the ocean and a beautiful sunny day with the breeze blowing the sails to a peaceful, serene peace of mind. Beautiful.

[infirence]

simply amazing.....

[mjis4evamine]

yall know this song shoulda got a grammy

[lpilot4]

big ups to christopher cross and he crew, hey avant you nailed it i really love the muisc in this song it really takes me to a new place in my mind, i feel that i'm travling into a far away land off some where i've never been. i love, love, love this song and the remake of it is really smooth.

[sramosdaron]

iLike. Awesome!

[Bagjo123]

this guy can do a copy.. amazing

[naderestejelf]

you must be joking chritopher cross sings it like a frog the best person who could have sang this song was Barry White

[omitchell04]

@naderestejelf I think Barry Whit sang too deep for this particular song. Avant has a more mellow voice.

[bahanas301]

christopher cross shouldn've given avant the rights to sing this song. mr. cross did a way better job

[MrNightshift66]

Avant put this song over the top! He should've received honors!

[MrNightshift66]

Avant put this song over the top!

[the1stnoel76]

THIS SONG GIVES ME THE CHILLS. IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL! CHRISTOPHER CROSS DID A GREAT JOB BUT AVANT IS AMAZING!

[ebunny5]

@the1stnoel76 I agree.

[Bagjo123]

@the1stnoel76 u are wrong...

[crystalbuttafly]

Marvelous........you definitely can meditate to it. I listened to it before every exam.

[twilight9082]

song sounds horrible after 4:10 ;)

[nyreeains111]

love this song...its very relaxing! I like this version better than the original

[myjazzvibes]

Avant does a great job covering this Christopher Cross masterpiece. They both have the same vocal quality.

[RashadRyan17]

I like this better than Christopher Cross version

[LISA22M21]

[LilWayne333j]

[BeautelligentDiva79]

@poneyswife...I so agree. Thank God for music such as this. It's a reminder that there's always that still, quiet place inside you that's waiting for you to take a break from the craziness of life.

[blaze1nu]

Ver Nice!

[VALlewellyn]

WOW! Now that was surprising!  VERY good indeed!

[vixxen99]

[videohooligan]

[1961CDAVDABREEZER]

Real smooth & easy listening.

[ashleyc724]

Heard this song this morning on the radio. Great song to listen to anytime.

[Michaelgurl4ever]

I love version and Nsync version. I love JC Voice and his too

[typhlosionisbest]

ugh I've been trying for years to finally find this

[563sLady]

MMMM this man is so dam sexy!! This my other husband ya'll... JOE #1, Idris Elba 2 & Avant 3. MANN... I'd love to sail away with him. Beautiful beautiful remake. He & Joe are my favorites. I'd love to hear Joe redo this one... already know Joe will kick ass but it'll be great. REAL LYRICS @ its best!

[mdh16hunter]

tommy mckinnie killed this track

[ABCNeecee09]

if you guys like this you should listen to david sides version

[miko2T9J5M]

He brings so much soul to this song.

[roslyndunn]

I loved this song when Christopher Cross did it and I love it even more being sung by this fine brother.

[6311105]

there is a better version made by David side on piano the name of that video is "Sailing" - David Sides ft. Lucas Teague - Avant Cover

[topmodel5k]

@6311105 Wouldn't say its better. I can't compare a group to a solo artist lol esp not if the solo artist is Avant lol. Both versions are amazing and ALL the artists have BEAUTIFUL voices.

[blackgodoflife]

@6311105 better? you sure? their voices were auto-tuned....soooo no, not better. Piana player was good though...cant fake that.

[braydenbeautiful]

So many black people have such beautiful, soulful voices -- all of the best signers on campus are black (in my opinion anyway). Sadly, so many of them completely waste their voice on hip hop on rap.

Artists like Avant, Chris Echols, Ray Charles (obviously), etc. thankfully, haven't.

I think I speak for man people when I say to these great people, thank you and thank you for your music.

[m062010]

Christopher Cross' version is way better. This isn't bad, but Cross definitely had it and still does.

[HotPeachDoneRight07]

Still prefer Christopher Cross' original version but Avant's version is pretty good. Gee I miss the 80s.

[rjayeful]

I'm truly a Christopher Cross fan, but Avant did a nice job on this song with great respect and integrity toward Mr. Cross.

[MrJack939]

nsync's version better sorry vant

[samoht2361]

Avant has done masterful job with this remake of a fabulous song. few artists do justice to a great song when it's done over. this version remained true to form; luv it

[poneyswife]

@snoop0851 this is from Avant's "AVANT" Album

[poneyswife]

@snoop0851 yes by christopher cross 1980 is the original date of release i believe.

[Stepolian09]

good stuff

[MsSmartone13]

love this song :)

[kianatnt1]

Been listening to Avant for the past few days and I can't stop. Heard a different version but this is definately my fav. We need more music like this, he jus puts you in a different mood and mind frame. I love your music Avant.

[jtno2]

The Christopher Cross version is more to my liking but Avant did a very respectful and true-to-the-original cover. I like how he put his own spin on the song without totally butchering the original.

[arenaarena1]

i love this song i could listen to it all day. its so relaxing, i go through so much craziness in my life but when i listen to music like this song i feel alive and refreshed, its good for the soul.. " Soon I will be free"

[annette1229]

@arenaarena1 that's exactly how I feel

[MizzBossLadii]

my favorite song

[TheFlynblkman]

[SAFHKL]

this jus so relaxing and makes u forget your problems

[SAFHKL]

[astrep]

its a good remake.......but nobody can do it like cristopher cross,his voice is beautiful,he also is the one that sang authur's theme

[aieshamoore]

what are you talking about??? hes terrible

avant's voice is smoother

[SAFHKL]

no chriss cross's version isn't even relaxing

[shynnreid]

I heard this song for the 1st time today on the radio.I had to come home and look it up on youtube...i love it :)

[eppafolk18]

WOW....this song really does do something to you and makes you feel calm and relaxed like in a state of tranquility.....i really love it avant is amazing

[Kuzya3k]

Thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for.

[MBest12]

one of the sickest remakes ever, beautiful

[iFNlovekidcudi]

i love this version, he did a really good job.. unlike other ppl who remake songs.. and hes teaching this generation about a great song

[MarkyCool67]

Great Cristopher Cross cover.

[NiKariJoy]

i love this version

[xXMiikk3yXx]

THIZ IZ A GR3AT R3MAK3!

[btyrsov]

song sounds like something u hear in heaven

[musicman65000]

This is actually a decent remix of a classic song. Not a fan of Avant, but he did this song justice! Good job!

[willyhoward943]

@musicman65000 what song

[musicman65000]

In 1979, Christopher Cross came out with his self titled album with his hit song, "Sailing" on it. The song is still awesome 20 years later. Avant did a good job on his version of the song.

[TheMidcoast1]

The bridge in this song is heavenly 2:40- 3:05. I love the entire song but I find myself rewinding just to hear that part.

[robaifei]

let the world hear it, .... its like holy water to the ears.

[mkttygrl]

Wow Avant I luv this song I like Christopher Cross but man you really did your thing on this.

[skidd649]

He is so fine......................

[glamgurl2000]

i m really feeling this song avant!

[russeli1941]

Righteous cover.....Indeed

[jinjerly]

I've been listening to this song for 29 years and had no idea that Christopher Cross sang, "...To where I've always heard it could be.

Just a dream and the wind to carry me." Avant's voice is not only clearer but smoother and sweeter.

[ingraham100]

Avant "upped" his game in singing a Christopher Cross song. He gives it his own piece of soul.

[cierrahgn2]

LUV IT LUV IT LUV IT!!!!

[TheShenice]

I LOVE U AVANT!!!

[spainman2020]

after 10 years Avant finally came out with a song I like...but I always liked the original so does that mean he cheated me? lol

[TwystydElegance]

N'Sync did a better job...this is good though

[Chelley1989]

noo...

[divadoll8701]

i love love ths song its so uplifiting.. HAppy Thanksgiving YouTube!!!!!!!!

[sfillyaw]

Great song. Period. He did Christopher Cross justice and kept the integrity of the song. I absolutely LOVE it!

[MRxBROOKLYN]

i love is song Avants version is wonderful

[alnvida]

I heard this the other day.... always loved this song since I was a kid by Christopher Cross... never knew who revived it.. thanks for sharing...

[phyire]

LOVE the original but dyam AVANT tweeked it and made this song his own. Beautifully done!

[alnvida]

I couldn't agree more... ;-) he made it as smooth as Christopher Cross and made it his own..... it's so laid back...

[musicman65000]

Agreed! The original was beautiful, but this guy did a pretty good job on the remake too.

[bishopccrainer]

Avant DID SHOW HIS TAIL on this song; I mean, Christopher Cross is borderline genius anyway...Avant paid a great deal to the homage while still giving his interpretation to it...great job, Avant!!

[1507ish]

avant did a wonderful job with this song. i just wish they would have promoted it more. Because i never hear it on the radio.

[queenandcrown]

they do play it quite a bit here(florida) on the jazz station..

[sfillyaw]

They play it on the "Grown and Sexy" stations lol That's the only time I get to hear it. Love wholesome music. This is beautiful.

[Salmoore1]

This version is soooo beautiful....I love it!!!

[AMEstrada21]

Great cover by Avant! SO beautiful! :)

[poohbear1fan]

I love avant and this song soooooooo much

[Msasianlover101]

i just heard nsync do the song..wasnt too good...out of the 3....avant did it best...

great song..i've been hooked

[lilmsspoiled17]

im not a fan of the original....this is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy better!

[tykeandsasha]

my first time hearin it was a few week ago and im 19 and i love it and the lyrics sweet song

[mizzel82]

christopher cross or elton john

[chilosamamii21]

omqqq love iit !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[KatiezCool]

I love the original. But I came across this.... It's Amazing!! I LOVE IT! Can't stop listening to it.

[heyhey4fun]

My first time listening to his version and now I'm hooked !

[R0cKb0i]

why u wasted 2mins 43secs wen u stoped?

[vixxen99]

sooooooo beautifulll :)

[shweamel]

I wasnt too crazy about this song until now. Amazing. The best version by far.

[pinetorchceremony]

Sailing is just a freakishly great song, and I think whoever covers it stands to benefit. N'Sync covered it, they sounded great, and now Avant, and he sounds phenomenal.

[jevonk]

Love this remake. Nothing will ever replace Christopher Cross version but Avant did a wonderful job. The younger generations need to listen to the lyrics of beautiful music more often.

[adeyemi15]

i love this song so much really beautiful

[AcesHeels]

i love this song and i liked when chris didn't but know one else that i heard remake a new song they had it but not like avant, avant went above and mad it soul and a song where you can go cruzin in your car. keep at it avant love the song it was awsome!!!!!!!!

[silyaelek]

i dont like this cover. the original is still way better
