  • i told my mom if anything was to happen to me, i want this song played at my funeral.

  • Timeless .... This song is as close as I can get to sailing. To me, It shows; music can take you places your stomach only dares to go.

  • Never heard a more Beutiful song.

  • what ships shown here? I have sailed with Picton Castle and am curious. Great vid by the way!

  • Bless you! Finally a video to Sailing that shows sailboats (the gorgeous tall ships!) and actual sailing. I saw another Sailing video that obviously wasn't done by a sailor--all stills showing beautiful hazards to navigation!

  • To my Captain, You took me to the best of paradise, the wind was right, the canvas did do miracles, Sailing took us away,I got the the best of you when you were sailing. This song ...you are free.

  • Something about oceans I love it all anything to do with it.Those ships fantastic.

  • My daughter has moved to devon, closer to tall ships, driving down to see her next week

  • @Skyclad65 Really? I went out to Cornwall for a few days last year during the summer. That was quite lovely. I didn't see any tall ships but whatever. But what I did see was too much great cream teas and a lot of ice cream! Marazion was especially pretty because of St. Michael's Mount.

  • @jrmetmoi she is living near mevagissey, she wanted to be closer to Plymouth. I spent a few days with her and did not want to come home. Maybe the tall ships were sailing it takes them away I heard :)

  • This is so excellent. I remember this song from High School. It is a great late night driving song too. Thank you for this the images so perfectly suit the song. I hope you don't mind, I have subscribed to your channel.

  • great video!

  • If you have actually gotten to sail on some of these extraordinary tall ships? I will die of jealousy! YOur video was fantastic and fit the mood of the song well. For a little while there I imagined the sea rocking me and the saltwater breezes blowing across my face. The visuals and the music were so perfectly entwined. Thank you! Kudos!

  • Nice!!! : )

  • I love this video and song. It never gets old.

  • This song reminds me of being young with my dad....love this song...makes me cry every time I hear it.... doesn't matter WHERE I am....

  • My favorite 70s song of all time right here, you can quote me on it, with no take backs. LOL I remember singing this song at the age of 3 years old. I so loved this song as a toddler, so peaceful and melodious.

  • My favorite 70s song of all time right here, you can quote me on it, with no take backs. LOL

  • Beautiful video!

  • Just wonderful! After a very hectic, difficult, tough day....this was perfection!

  • Thankyou

  • Excellent video, one of my all time favorite songs, Thanx for posting :)

  • I love this song. A neighbor had this song playing in her kitchen when I was a kid and I heard it while laying on the grass reading a book under trees enjoying warm breezes of summer. It sealed this song as one of tranquility and peace. I hear it and I'm transported to simpler times. Sweet!

  • how do you spell freedom? S-A-I-L-I-N-G

  • shite! full sails 2 master! all sails filled! gawd she be a settin a grand speed!!

  • Just lovely! After three hurricanes in the last five years thanks for reminding me of the beauty of the ocean. Needed that. :)

  • Thankyou

  • you know what this vid caused me to looked up great sailing ships and i eneded up reading the article on uss constitution and hms victorious and looking into clipper ships and i played this song over 50 times now i got to buy the album doe!!!

  • The Music and the Video... a perfect match. Well Done !

  • Thankyou

  • @Earthstudy This is one of my FAVORITE videos on Youtube. Thank you for creating it and uploading it. :-)

  • I haven't been sailing since 1992. Funny how something that filled my life with such joy for many years during my youth has vanished in my adult years. Hearing this song brings back such good memories of worry-free days. There is just nothing like setting sail and heading out to serenity. So healing. Miss you dad! Hope to sail with you again some day on the other side. Pick me up in "Tenacity" when I get there.... okay? <3

  • Super...

  • Great shots, Good music...a shame the video in not in HD

  • My Grandad had a boat factory in Australia when I was young. He has passed away and when I see these beautiful boats sailing so peacefully on the ocean all I really think about is Grandad coming through the door for lunch and the smell of fiberglass so thick it practically burns my eyes.....I loved him and he loved SAILING

  • This is some very relxing and comfortable music.

  • This Reminds me of a Very Special trip God Bless My Uncle Jim And Aunt Sue I Really Needed time Away

  • This song always reminds of my favourite holiday way back in the 80's when I went to Argele-sur-mare in France (Atlantic coast), and a very special French girl who I will never forget. Thanks for posting!

  • Thankyou

  • @Apophisguard where in France is Argele-sur-mare? Is is northern France?

  • @jeckalynne521976 It's close to the Spanish border on the Med coast.

  • Dreamy drifty song..........

    Which year was this a hit, please ?

  • @Aqene1000

    1980

  • ...Majestic as with great beauty.We usually do not witness "Tall Ships this closely. This is very sweet visually and in lyrics

  • I Love this Video...In Lyric it is a belief that it speaks about our positive Journey in life. metaphoric as to where life can and does lead us in the calmness of all Seas.

  • Sweet!!

  • I stood with Buddy Ebsen in Ensenada, Mexico . After the 1966 Newport to Ensenada race. He sailed Polynesian Concept to first to finish. Now thats a sailing story!

  • Sailing is wonderful. However, this ship is motor powered and is not indicitive of real sailing. I sailed the Ensenada race from Newport, Ca, many times and stood next to Buddy Ebsen at the trophy presentation in Ensenada at the Bahia in 1967. He won for first to finish in his new cat named "Polynesian Concept".

  • une des plus belle voie du monde selon moi

  • Great Song. The sails on the ships in this video do indeed like they are made of hemp canvas. Hemp was an important crop to the early sailing industry. Ships typically had to replace their sails and rigging about every 6 months due to heavy salt erosion...at great expense.

  • i love this song.... and cool change too ............ makes my day smooth and calm

  • To my cuz Gary Taylor. Sail on! You are missed.

  • Heeeavenly Music !!!!!!!:-)

  • Only an attractive woman can be more beautiful than a tall ship under sail. Thank you.

  • that was absolutely retarded

  • Would you care to share with us the reasonable analysis or thought process which shall have been the basis of your comment?

  • Where are my sailing articles? Where are they!

  • Have you checked under the bed? Leave me be so I can get them finished, and stop sending me gay tall ship videos!

  • What percentage of tall ships are gay according to Kinsley? There is nothing under the bed but dust bunnies and my missing sock.

  • Pretty sure it's the standard 10%, but I'm still not sure if that's 10% of ALL ships or just 5%, since most of them are given female names. Hrm... how do ya check gender? Kinda looks like they're male (bow pulpit)... what if they're males and we're calling them Her? No wonder they're gay! Hell, maybe they're ALL gay!

  • they are called female names because, like most women, they have all the curves in the right place. at least that is what i was told.

  • @toejamkook I think ships are considered feminine and called 'she' and 'her' because while your out in the middle of nowhere in the water 'she' is supposed to protect you like a mother. That ship out in the middle of so much water is really all you have out there. I think it's supposed to be a maternal reference.

  • @jrmetmoi feamales are unpredictable so are those ships on that ocean.Ahh that,s my girl.She did well threw the storms.

  • This song always puts me in a calm mood. Reminds me of being a child. Does anyone know what year this came out?

  • @NuclearFurnature

    1981. I know because this was the 1st record I heard on the car radio immediately after splitting with a girl in suffolk, england. crazy what I can remember!

  • Sorry to burst your bubble toronto but it actually was released in 1979. Had climbed to #1 in July 1980 and won a number of Grammy's that year. I heard it on a sailboat in the summer of 1980. She was pretty.....Both the sailboat and the girl I was with.

  • Your right. I checked Wiki and it said the song is off Cross's debut album from 1979, and was released in 1980.

  • nice video, unlike those mega yachts this is what it is about - great job!!

  • La más bella canción, la canción de la libertad, de que tus sueños pueden ser realidad, ojalá mi amor tomara la valentía necesaria...

    Es la canción de los dos...

    Gracias "Earthstudy"

    The must beautiful song...

    I think, i hope...someday my love will be brave...someday ....

  • Thankyou

  • Ha! Being a painter I always interpreted the words to refer to painting pictures on canvas! Either way an inspiration to me.

    Thanks for posting. Peace!

  • Nicely done video.

    Great song, Beautiful ship.

  • Absolutely beautiful song, spectacular video

  • Thankyou

  • I love this boat

  • tyvm Earthstudy, totally agree with ladyi7609, great video, captures the essence of the song

  • Thankyou

  • This is one of the best fan-made videos of anything I've ever seen. It totally suits the song, the visuals are gorgeous, and the song itself reminds me of my early childhood so the fact that I can pretend the visuals all come from around the time of said early childhood (around '83 - '86) and it's not a stretch of the imagination = major win. Thank you for this gift to YTland.

  • Ascoltare questa canzone e guardare questo video mi fanno ripercorrere in pochi minuti tutta la mia vita... tante le sensazioni... tra tutte non distinguo nessuna... ma percepisco di avere un animo immenso, buono, sensibile... e mi rammarico per chi non coglie questo di me...

    yah, i know this generation is full of hip hop and rap. its fun and all, but we need real music like this back again. Music that tells a story in everyones own way. Im at a teen age and love this type of music. Beautiful music. - Steelyfanz

  • This will be the song when I by first big sailing ship/catamarn and sail the south pacific, or the caribbean. To feel the wind pushing you through the waves.. At night time.... see the Southern Cross.

  • I was laying in my bed , had just taken chemotherapy and was on marinol , it was a summer evening and this song came on the radio . Music is medicine , especially this song.

  • Very true. Keeps the spirit strong. Get better. :)

  • I simply love this song...

  • Don't get songs like this much any more.  I am a rock and roller but I do like this song.

  • what an awesome song!!! i remember back as a child I heard this song while the radio station in Antigua covered Antigua Sailing Week in the early 1980s!!!

  • This song always reminds me of the best holiday I ever had - 5 weeks on the Cote D'Azure and memories of a very special French girl I met there.

  • after just returning from a 12 day cruise on The Royal Clipper, this song is a culmination of my 35 year sailing experienc..I've enjoyed every sunset and the feeling of independance on both the baot's abilities and mine to see, experience and arrive safely back at my home port. I just was not prepared for a 700' clipper sailing vessel..but the love and rememberance of the feeloings evoked by this song on my 1st overnihter in a small creek is similar to coming ashore in Korkula, Croatia..

  • I remember hearing this song when I was about 14 yrs old and it would make things that seem to bother me feel better. The beat and rithym of the music is calm and soothing and this song still calms me when no other music
