Sailing - Christopher Cross

"Well, it's not far back to sanity
At least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away
And find serenity
Oh, the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see, really, believe me"

Album: Christopher Cross
Quote: Christopher Cross/Sailing (lyrics)

Well I made it back from Cedar Point with (hopefully) no permanent injuries. Steel Vengeance is an EVIL piece of work that's for sure...I screamed so loud I lost my voice. But anyways, moving on.

There's something about Christopher Cross's voice that I've always found to be incredibly soothing, and nowhere is that more apparent than with this song. I also somehow went through my entire life thinking he was African American. Imagine my surprise after 40 years to find out he's about as white as they come! But black or white it makes no difference, this song is as calming and beautiful as it was the day it was released on June 15th, 1980. I sure hope it's not far back to sanity for all of our sakes.
