Christopher Cross told Rick Beato in an interview that Sailing is actually about a place he would go to in his mind to escape his abusive parents when he was a child. He said he tried actual sailing one time and hated it. It's a much deeper song than most people realize.
-
He is underrated, for sure. Ride Like the wind is one you absolutely need to listen to- your boy Michael McDonald sings backup.

Close your eyes and you can feel the rhythm of the sea, the warm breeze and a cold margarita.

It's like you can feel the ocean breeze

The musicality in this is astonishing man 😮 Christopher Cross is a Hulk…both in size (6’4”) and music. Try Ride Like The Wind and Arthur’s Theme. I guarantee they’ll both go on your list.
