Christopher Cross - Ride Like The Wind

[Alexandernero666]

When I was in school,I was into hard rock and metal,and still am.But now I'm older I can appreciate a wider range of music.It's good to go back and rediscover music in a new way.This song is a good example!

[bradgorr]

I remember when my brother and I used to play this song when we would leave L.A.and head to T.J.or Ensenada......we would take the top off his Vette and scream down the freeway.....God I miss the early 80's!

[MsDeandrea]

[rickypisano]

Class of '78 here!!!  2nd Ranger Battalion....Ft Lewis....1980!!!

[jvp3873]

Yeah, I don't even know you guy's or kevin and I kinda feel bad too.. but I've always liked this tune, I was 21 when it came out. My graduating class of '78 chose his song sailing as our class song (Great choice). Many of us having sailed a lot, being that it was Newport Harbor High School, Newport Beach. Just thinkin outloud, have a good one, c ya, j

[quandrax]

Yeeaaah! Short changed my dealer for a dimebag. She didn't even count it. This song was on the radio while I made my escape. Smoking in style tonight.

[Wingman4life1]

da da da dah, da da da daaah daaah!

[AsiaInYouth]

Brothers do stuff like that sometimes. My older bro did that to me about the Frampton Come Alive alblum. Come on now, this ain't an AA meeting, you got to have a few good memories of you and your bro. Honor him by remembering him, but don't make your self miserable, unless you wanna be...

[RespectThe80s]

Love Michael McDonald's backup vocals in this song.

[JustTeenBeaver]

@RespectThe80s

Michael McDonald?! I didn't know it was him...God this song is simply perfect.

[forestgumpaed]

class album.

[aforestine73]

I'm sure that the 59 dislikes where accidental, the song is amazing.

[kujo839]

This song nearly killed me, while I´m riding a bycicle having head phones on and listened to this music in a little town in West Germany ;-)

[gerjac42]

My brother turned 12 yrs old in 1982, and I remeber him teling ma that all he wanted for his birthday was this album. I laughed at him made him feel low, my brother is no longer here, I wish I could take some things back; this is one of many. Kevin fly high and far!

[needaman66]

@gerjac42 ride like the wind Kevin....R.I.P

[Meela234]

@gerjac42 You done made me teary eyed now. R.I.P Kevin.

[79swissmiss]

@gerjac42 sorry bout that. GREAT song!

[TheHanadarko]

@gerjac42  - dude, thats the way sh!t happens. It sucks...regrets after regrets...

[jmdelan99]

@gerjac42 I too lost a younger brother and regret many things. I punched him in the eye! they aren't here but you know what? family forgives and i'm sure they are both looking down on us and proud. we can always do better but we're human.

[jmdelan99]

@gerjac42 I too lost a younger brother and regret many things. I punched him in the eye! they aren't here but you know what? family forgives and i'm sure they are both looking down on us and proud. we can always do better but we're human.

[philtripe]

@gerjac42 wow dude...im the same age and somehow blessed with the gift of life...wow,thats really heavy

[7172971729]

@gerjac42 hey man sorry for your loss but to let you know i was made fun of as a kid for certain things and it usually blows over ..it makes you a stronger person if you can take the insults and keep truckin ..im sure as time went on that minor insult blew away like a fart in the wind ..i also have MANY regrets and things id like to take back but again as kids its how we learn .. i learned evrything the hard way with no mom or dad just granparents ...dont sweat it ,we will all be one eventually

[dfitch10]

@7172971729 wow, what a generous comment -- your grandparents should be very proud!!

[Ladtdebbie53]

@gerjac42 Unfortunately we all do and say things that we ultimately regret. I've done my share too. I lost my only brother in October of last year and miss him so much! Listening to these songs from our youth brings back those wonderful years once again. God bless!

[faridb80]

@Ladtdebbie53

very sorry for your loss. this is used to be the must have album at that time. Your brother has a great taste.

[musikgal17]

@gerjac42 what a lovely sentiment!!!!

[FootballNebraska]

@gerjac42 Hang in there. He knows you loved him.

[Kwstakis41]

@gerjac42 you mean dead?

[vollarschaus]

Stech ab den Internet Wahnsinn

[mom6446]

[MrYuckfou420]

@mom6446 golden earring baby

[Hubstone11]

Driving down the Trace at 2am moonlight 80 mph no headlights.... almost hit that owl!! this song over and over not a care

[PietHD]

One of the best driving songs if you ask me...

[philaman1972]

1980 was such a great year for music as evident by this song.  I was only 8, but remember this being played on the radio all the time. However, the true highlight 1980 for me will always be going to see 'Empire Strikes Back'.

[tlynch1218]

anybody else hear michael mcdonald?

[logom0]

@tlynch1218 yeah hes on backing vocals for this song lol XD

[MackeyForce10]

damn this song brings back some memories of when i was dealin and all that went with it, good and bad....no regrets!

[noobpl0zx]

This is what jesus listens to when hes on the highway

[TANJENTPLOP2nd]

Funkwerbung indeed!!!!



[marketmogul]

I am not easily impressed, and this has been my favorite song since I first heard it in May of 1980. It made such an impact, I know the SPOT I was standing the first time I heard it. I was visiting my cousin, and we were about to head to the Gulf Coast for vacation.

We walked to his friend's house down the road, and his friend was doing something to his old pickup, with the radio playing very loud and this song came on. Been in love since.

If a song could be a soul-mate, this one is mine.

[The00112287]

I ride lie the wind also!

[sauquoit13456]

On this date in 1980 {Feb. 16th} "Ride Like The Wind" entered Billboard's Hot Top 100; eventually peaked at No. 2 (for 4 weeks} and spent 21 weeks in the Top 100

Ranked 17th on Billboard's Year-End Hot 100 Singles of 1980 chart

Was te first track released from the album titled "Christopher Cross"; the album won the 1981 Grammy for "Album of the Year"

Michael McDonald sang back-up on "Ride Like The Wind"...

Mr. Cross' next release following this record would be his first No. 1, "Sailing"...

[avigliot]

I need this song when things are tough and I am down about something..; Or if I need courage for something that I am scared of doing. Or as a celebration for doing what I needed to when I was scared..... GO CHRIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[marketmogul]

@avigliot I know exactly what you mean! Whatever soothes a soul, this song has.

[reliablebow]

just one Great song!

[dorothyburch]

Christopher Cross always had a wonderful way to correlate the things in life with the elements of the earth. Such as Ride Like The Wind; Sailing and the such. I love his music because he equates life experiences with the creation of the world.

[Somethingwicked9]

Reminds me of Dickey Roberts.

[kenjohnsonmusic]

This song almost got me killed. i had a mercedes and I would turn this song up super loud and drive like an idiot through the small streets of these West Germany towns. Thirty years ago, but I made it to tell the tale...

[MackeyForce10]

@kenjohnsonmusic : good thing you didnt play "high way song" by Blackfoot !

[sunny27cb]

@kenjohnsonmusic IT'S THE KIND OF SONG WHERE YOU MUST TURN UP THE VOLUME! I DO IT ALL THE TIME! IT MAKES ME FEEL FREE!!!

[DaveWollenberg]

@sunny27cb Have ya lost any hearin' from doin' that sorta thing?

[DaveWollenberg]

After this song, Chris never put out a song that rocks this hard.

[thenemo56]

I meant to say; With the way things are around the world we may one DAY have to ride like the wind.

[thenemo56]

We would all like to "ride like the wind" once in our lives. It's bred into our genes. Flight or fight reflex still not bred out of us. This song really expresses what it must first feel like to be on the run with eluding them that chase you.

With the way things are around the world we may one have to ride like the wind.

Thanks Benzilla for providing the song!

[CombatArchery]

There will never be rock and roll like this ever again.....Peace to the people ';'

[Kiobas99]

seriously, this song sounds like a song that could be the intro from GTA: Vice City 2 is it would exist..

[MrFdorsett]

IT'S ONLY ONE BABY.

[meltone942]

michael mcdonald on backups????????

[ASacredSpirit]

@meltone942 I think so. I wouldn't be surprised, because he backs everyone up!

[charlie8575]

@meltone942 Yes, it is.

[bodhidhamma7]

Finally made it to Mexico. Join me, the drinks are on me, with my good friends - Sam Peckinpah, John Marston and John Huston.

[Yourmuthor16]

@bodhidhamma7 dude... do it up brotha, smoke a fat joint for me my friend when the night is ending...which will prob be in the early am!

[011022033011022033]

What's this song about?? anyone know the history of it? Nice tune.

[flybywire1980]

THUMBS UP!!! thumbs up if your gonna ride like the wind!!!

[doriangreyification]

thought it was the original vid which i saw in about 1983. bit disappointed but never in Christopher Cross. an unknown amercian legend. he also sang the theme song to the film 'Arthur' with Dudley Moore and Liza Minelli..brilliant film. not sure where he is nowadays :(

[scottsizer]

it was summer 89...heard this during the best day of my life...still my fave tune after all these years...now wheres that whistle

[Dlaemmerhirt999]

Great song man! One of my favorites! Hey . . . is that Micheal McDonald? HEY! It IS!!!

[shellrob12]

@Dlaemmerhirt999 Yes,that's Michael McDonald

[Fenix521]

INVASION AMERICA

[larreey69er]

Did the 56 shitheads who dislided this song come to this webstie not knowing that this song was going to be played? Go somewhere else to get your music jollies. I am sure that that pussy Justin Bieber and his plastic girlfriend Selena Gomez have shitty music of their own you can listen to. If you don't like real music like this-stay the fuck away. Oh, yeah, Selena, there was only one real Selena and she had talent, beauty, and class. You are never going to be that Selena's equal.

[MrMazlan1607]

i first heard this song when i was in Wollongong, australia....such a nice song.

[5468764654]

Why do people always sing about being outlaws with Ramblin, gamblin daddies?

[braklola]

Best fucking song ever!

[salliebryan61]

Yes, you are correct. I cannot think of even ONE singer who has a voice like Michael McDonald.

He is a great singer. I wonder why I didn't pick up his back-up voice years ago. Shame on me!!!

[DaveWollenberg]

Gang, could ya PLEASE comment, WITHOUT cussin'? Little kids imitate what they read!

[incdogrobber]

@DaveWollenberg I heard that...!

[DaveWollenberg]

@incdogrobber Do ya agree that folks shouldn't cuss, while commentin' on Youtube vids?

[KBro6Paul]

@DaveWollenberg there's a proper time & place for everything but I don't feel that anythin' that can be broadcast such as social networkin' amateur radio, etc are appropriate venues to vent. I feel that if a person has nothin' positive to say at one vid, then move onto where they can find somethin' positive to say. I don't care much 4 most music nowadays but I don't like seein' music f/ my time period used as a venue 2 attack Justin Bieber or anyone else. keep it positive, I say.

[DaveWollenberg]

56 folks aren't ridin' like the wind.

[norvellscott]

@DaveWollenberg ...and those 56 are idiots!

[DaveWollenberg]

@norvellscott Amen, right? Have a blessed week, Norvell!

[MegaPeirce]

They just dont write like this anymore........its just to bad!

[DominusLuna]

54 people couldn't ride like the wind.

[royalrumle1975]

54 peoples a like regueton.

[nch09snow]

you can do anything to this song..fuck...make ice-cream - fix the car next door - go indoor ballooning - cover yourself with clingfilm or just have a good wank...it really does work for all occasions...apparently

[MrOpenachannel]

54 people did`nt make it to the border of Mexico. Thumbs up!

[lpg350]

Great Memories. THANK YOU

[TheCapricornkid]

i miss songs that tell stories

[KebbyTheProphet]

is the plot is about a drug dealer running away across the border?

[cockyhemi]

Ahh. Brings me back to '81 listening to my older bro's 33 on his stereo system in his room. I was only 7 at that time but this kinda stuff has stayed with me. Great and simple times back then!!

[VNeckGamer]

I used to think this was Hall and Oates.

[andyjay729]

This song reminds me of crusing up to Santa Cruz, coming down the Grapevine Grade at about 80 mph on a sunny winter day about a year and feeling so alive.

[TheMonacleSpy]

This song just takes me back to when I was young

[FLAVAOFME123]

[matmicm1]

PEACE AND LOVE ...

[TheTubePortal]

For no apparent reason I woke up one morning last week having this song in my head and needed to come listen to it. Strange thing is I don't remember the last time I had actually heard it, or even where.

[everlastingcurves]

@TheTubePortal Happens to me ALL the time! Sometimes I wake up with just part of a song playing in my head and I have to get on YT to find it. I'm not ok until I actually listen to the song. *SMH* LOL!! ; )

[buenzodape]

[SuperBrotherBob]

I was getting out of the Navy and going to work for Ma Bell when this song was popular. I'm now retired, after 30 years at Ma Bell, and enjoy listening to the tunes that take me back to my younger years.

[salliebryan61]

@SuperBrotherBob Is that Michael McDonald in the background? It sure sounds like him.

[empiricalpoet]

@salliebryan61 yes it is



[salliebryan61]

@SuperBrotherBob Is Michael McDonald doing the back up vocal in this song?

[malcolmbryant]

@salliebryan61 Yes Michael McDonald's voice is unmistakeable isn't it?

[flagflier1]

@SuperBrotherBob You were getting  out of the navt and I was riding my harley like the wind. I am a female and there weren't many of us......GREAT memories for sure!

[DaveWollenberg]

[Lindy81349]

Seems like only yesterday I heard and loved this song and the voices that sang it, way to go Chris and Michael.

[Antichrist1305]

We lost our only rock radio station where I live, now all I have is my ipod and youtube for music... it's sad. it's been replaced with another pop station.

[chickenlampbrent]

That's Doobie Brother Michael MacDonald in there, unmistakable voice.

[OrbGoblin]

[paul72kate]

Here's a man who can really sing - his best, slightly better than Arthur, but there will no doubt be a few who disagree with me.
