Christopher Cross - Sailing (Official Music Video) [Remastered HD]

[@christophercrosshq]

The beauty of Sailing is that it resonates with so many people, it can be interpreted as simply being in a boat on the water or as complex as the transition we experience through art. I have been very touched by the way people relate to the song. - Christopher Cross

Thank you to all the men and women who have served, are serving, and will serve this great nation. Respect and honor to you all. A gift of sacrifice and love. How do i know? An uncle the served on the Yorktown in the battles of Corel Sea and Midway. A grandfather who served in the 82nd Airborne during WWII as well. A father who worked electronics maintenance on A4 air craft on many carrier's during Korea and Vietnam, and finally I served in the US Army 10th Mountain Division at Fort Drum, NY. Stay safe and well everywhere that you all may be. Your sacrifice is not taken for granted from this old soldier.

Interesting part is the part that really sounds like the water. The opening cords were added by the producer after the song was completed and weren’t Christopher Cross’ contribution at all and that repeated sound, which sounds like a gentle waves splashing was the producers.
