Sailing #MusicMovesMe

It's Monday, and it's time for music. 

Today I am joining up with other Music Moves Me bloggers (and you can join us at the linky above). We are a group of music loving bloggers who blog about music each Sunday or Monday (or even later in the week). If you have music to share with us, you are most welcome to join! (Music Posts Only-meaning at least one music video, please! Otherwise, your post link may be labeled "No Music" or even removed.  

Our head host is Xmas Dolly, and our co-hosts are Cathy from Curious as a Cathy, joined by the knowledgeable Stacy of Stacy Uncorked and, last but not least, me.

Every other week we have a theme, and this is one of those weeks. Today, our theme is "The Bikini debited in 1948 this month.  Let's celebrate the occasion with song picks about swimwear and/or water fun."

I've traveled to cities and towns in the Finger Lakes region of New York State a number of times, and when I see the sailboats in various of the Finger Lakes, I think "I wonder how I would like being on one."  I'm prone to seasickness, but still, there is  just something about a sailboat that seems so fun and so peaceful.

Or perhaps it's about the dream of getting on a boat and just escaping all your responsibilities. 

So today, I am going to make my theme sailing or songs that have the word "sail" or "sailing" in them.  Maybe I'm deviating from the theme today but it's what moves me. 

First up - Enya and her 1988 earworm "Orinoco Flow (Sail Away)". 

Styx and their 1977 hit "Come Sail Away"  True, this song is not about sailing, but space travel, but it has the word "sail" in it. 

We can't neglect Christopher Cross and "Sailing" from 1980.  

Or Crosby, Stills and Nash and "Southern Cross". 

Finally, a song more about surviving life's storms, here are the Beach Boys and Sail On Sailor" 

And that's a wrap!

Join me again next week for another episode of Music Moves Me.  I hope it moves you, too.

  1. The one I always think of is Rod Stewart's version of 'Sailing.'
