When I heard this song I knew I was struggling to get to sleep. After it finished I knodded off pretty quickly.

So many memories come flooding back. Listening to the shipping forecast and thinking of all of those exotic names that the BBC reader was repeating, then in later life at sea depending on that same forecast as a seaman . Now I still listen to it as the inshore forecast is good for quite a distance inland.

Perfection.

This is comforting when you feel at sea. Even us adults feel like that occasionally

Great music I just love It I am some where else listening to this tune❤😢🎉

Boootiful, I love this, in the back of my dads Cortina

I wonder if I could have this played at my Funeral

My school is singing this

This brings back memories

I heard this on Classic FM on the More Music Breakfast before going to work and it's so calming and very relaxing especially at this time of the morning. I also heard it played on Classic FM late at night too. Has such a good calming effect and so peaceful. :)

Beautiful Music ............................Bill Bickley uk...

It got to 2:25 I thought ah ha now what you gonna do! Classic. 😇

GOOD music

Reminds me of staying at my grants. She would fall asleep with the radio on

This song reminds me of sleepless nights and also of my summer on the isles of scilly and in Penzance and St ives.The woman I met that summer I will not forget

Sound Cures, ask Tesla ! ❤❤❤

Oh My God..

Just discovered this utterly beautiful piece of music. Heartwarming, tearforming, it rises and falls just like a wave on the sea. Peace and tranquility.

I love this!

just perfect

Linda música, parece as gaivotas passeando sobre o mar!

He was a great English composer.

I, Daniel Blake, demand my appeal date before I starve. And change the shit music on the phones !

Schöne Musik DANKE.

Greetings from New England to the mariners and fishermen from the British Isles. May the great tradition of the sea forever unite us in friendship and respect.

Makes me feel nostalgic. I listened to it on Radio 4 every night on the night shift, for about 15 years.

You might expect such a simple piece of music to be come monotonous after a while but it does not happen with Sailing By.

The best of the BBC

Written by Ronald Binge who also wrote what was later called “Elizabethan Serenade”

The BBC plays this during the mariners’ traditional “radio silence” listening-In period which ends at 00.48hrs.

an absolute beautiful piece of music, sitting here playing it over and over , i must stop,beautiful

dad ! love ye forever ( the bay ) oor wee theme tune !

This light music is a God's gift - a masterpiece from Ronald Binge. It descends a mild British culture, though not as glorious as past centuries, but still subtlely invincible by now.

yeh its beautiful

Played this at my sisters funeral. She loved this piece of music. Happy memories.

In loving memory of my Family of Seafarers who would have known these waters well.

brilliant, love it

It's truly serenaded! I used to listen to this whenever I was driving long distance in the UK. Now Daniel Blake has just brought it back to me all the to Hong Kong. Thank You

I JUST LOVE THIS PIECE OF MUSIC...MY BED TIME MUSIC...

I remember this being played when I was a child when my grandad used to listen to the shipping forecast, takes me back many years to a very happy time.

love this

Now on radio 4 the shipping for cast issued by the met office at 00:15

I like this so much because I can listen to such a wonderful tune, twice whilst watching. Thanks for sharing,shared again.

This tune makes me so happy and so nostalgic. It sort of wraps itself around you like a favourite cardigan.

Love it - can't play it often enough. Wish I could find a way to download it or buy a copy. Ideas, please.

A brilliant piece of music

Wow remember hearing this as my dad listened to the shipping forecast at night haven't heard it in years

Note to self, ask for a tripod for Christmas, love the music of Ronald Binge though..

lol
