This song always take me back to the Spring of 1978 when I was in the 8th grade and had not been to school in over two months because of all the shit going on in my life (no direction, no one to listen to me at home, no friends,) and watching my classmates past by my house with their Jr. Diplomas and there I was on the point of dropping out. By the grace of God, I was able to return to school and start the 9th grade, I graduated on time and now I have three degrees!! This song got me through!!
My dad requested this at his funeral RIP Daddy! Fly high! And also dedicated to all the people we've lost to this crazy covid 19! I love you world! 🥰😘 Stay strong!!!!
God I love this song. My mom passed away in '93. Every time I hear this, I think of her. I always rewind in half way through at least 4 times before I let it ride. can't help but love this song forever.
40 years ago when I was 12 listening to this jam and asking myself, this song has to endure the test of time. 2017 I'm still jamming to this classic tune. Glad these awesome songs don't have an expiration date...
Years ago I wrote my father a card to the lyrics of this song while he was battling cancer. I didn't until until recently how much it meant to him until recently. On May 18th 2016 he sailed away and I have to carry on.
Awe man, I so sorry for your loss. In a not so funny coincidence, I did the same for my old man. He was in the Navy for 24 years so I thought this was fitting. Let's hope our father's charted the way for us. God Bless.
Maybe they're up there talking about their sons listening to this song. My dad was always up to talk to strangers. Was a small town cop for 20 years. Hope your doing okay, keep your head up.
Back in the 70's They played this constantly, i think of childhood friends too. We all loved it, we all listened to it everywhere. The pretty girls at school loved it, i can still see them dancing in the snow. like a gathering of angels
This was the song that we played on the intercom throughout our war ship when were heading back to the US from a long Navy deployment..."Come Sail Away With Me"
This song is an absolute classic. I love this song. 1978. I remember waiting for this song to come on the radio. Styx gave us an absolute masterpiece with this one.
My oldest son, aged 27, died this passed week. This was his theme song. EVERYONE knew his ring back tone AS THIS SONG. He could belt it at top lung BADLY in the shop he worked in. This song will ALWAYS make me cry now. It is so fitting of him and his life.
Awesome song by Styx! Used to listen to it over and over in LA in the late 70s when I was kid....brings back memories of the original Star Wars debut, Dodger vs Yankees, late nights at the park playing ball! Happy times!
Bonny Milligan My School days sucked grade school all nun teachers plus my face was entirely covered with IRISH Freckels. IRISH FOLKLORE says us IRISH get our Freckels from the sun. Freckels are also called ANGEL KISSES. It sucks lots of people think all IRISH are Drunks. Maybe they think that because most IRISH songs are about Drinking. Its not just IRISH & SCOTTISH born with Red Hair & Freckels. Our Family did a Ancestry to see how IRISH we were turns out OGRADY is only 40% IRISH. We thought it was more because Mom & Dad had IRISH names O'GRADY - KELLY. Sorry about all the IRISH. Im just crazy about my IRISH Heritage. Proud to an IRISH AMERICAN
This is what makes the internet so great. This was a song I listened to in my youth int he 70's and we have people 32 min. ago listening and discovering this music in 2011. Now, if the whole world would listen to RUSH we would all be the better. -)
This song has played a major part in my hearing loss. I couldn't keep my hand off the volume control when I'd listen to it back in the 70's, constantly cranking it as the song played.
this song will forever remind me of one of the greatest times in my life. We call it the trench song. As we finished the biggest project of our lives this song came on. somehow we all knew the words by heart. Im sure we sounded like the worst singers anybody ever heard but we loved it. Greatest moment of my life...
My friend Kennedy passed away from type one diabetes 4 years ago. Every year on her birthday, a few friends and I dress in blue, and play this song for her in the school hallways.
When I got my first cd player back somewhere between '89-'91, my first four cd's were: Michael Jackson - Dangerous, Stevie Nicks (Leather & Lace I think), Styx (some collection), & some Starship collection. I loved them all lol. Even though I didn't know too much about any of those albums. I had no idea who Stevie Nicks was. Styx I never heard of. Starship I knew some songs, & Michael Jackson's album...not sure if I even knew any of the songs on there. lol good times. My dad bought them. I was just grateful to have a cd player so I didn't care what cd's I got.
I Love This Song and it Makes Me Happy and Sad at The Same Time" I Lost Two of My Oldest Brothers" Michael December 14 2000"(age 41)and David June 26 2005 (age 48)They Were Both a Big Influence in My Life! They Gave Me Excellent Advice on Life's Challenges" and introduced Me to This Outstanding Band and Countless Others' Growing up! I Missed Them Everyday and Thank Them For For Being a Part of My Life" Rest in peace"I Love and Miss You Guys!😍👍🏻
Many wonderful memories in the 70's. Very popular song for the era. Which still resinates today. Life was so good in the 70's in the Fla keys. Truly magical. Only if you lived back then in this era get it :)
I loved this song when I first heard it when I was a little kid. I am just now entering adulthood, and it makes me so happy seeing that this song is literally changing a homeless man's life! Classic Rock FOR LIFE!
Best concert of my youth was Styx in 1981. This song, my favourite, was the end of the 2nd encore (and the final song of the concert). I can still remember it like it was yesterday.
MrDJS444 Ha, I beat that, I saw the Grand Illusion tour in '77 or '78. Tho the only thing I remember about it was some tall dude stoned out of his mind standing on his chair in the balcony a few rows ahead of me dancing with his arms outstretched. No one behind him could see a damn thing but he refused to sit down. Finally after about 10 or 15 minutes someone threw a bottle & hit him in the head & he sat down. People cheered. Good times.
Easily, one of the greatest bands of all time and one of the greatest songs ! Can't think of any other vocalist singing at such a high pitch with a silvery smooth voice !!
GREAT SONG! My dad game me an 8 Track and an old 8 Track player (before I even had a car), which my mom installed after he died when I was young. He told me this was what life would throw at me and he was right.
First song I ever carried away a girl with, she still hits me up from Florida as her first love... the amazing memories of the sweetness make my life worth living. I miss you and hope you remember too.. my love.
Chicago's own! They played at my step dads high school back in '76!! Saw them live a few years ago, favorite childhood band, all there songs bring back memories, and that just makes me sail away :)
Saw Styx and REO Speedwagon live in 2003 in Las Cruces NM. I think everyone in the event center was blown away when this song was played. Pure epicness I say!
Was in a big City for the First Time an we got tickets to see them I remember that night the lights the freeways going every which way Houston it was Magical 🎤🎸🎹🥁♥️💯
I'm betting at one time he was a music teacher or piano teacher. He is amazing. The song was right on the tip of my tongue but I just couldn't remember lol. My dad had to remind me. I was raised on this music and till the day I die I will love it.
Sr. Prom -- this track by Chicago's own will ALWAYS have a special place in my Heart commemorating the end of my childhood and becoming an independent young adult as a member of the Armed Forces..... St. Francis de Sales '79 ~ "Hey Pioneers!" :)))
This song takes me back to Panama City, Miracle Strip Ammusment Park.They would blast this song in the "Abonable Snowman Ride". Great times and even better memories.
The first part is beautiful. I'd it stayed that way,... you'd have a great soft rock sentimental song.; however, you'd nuts our on the Rockin post that comes later on! "The crescendo" Back in the 70's, a lot of classic rock bands/songs would build from a soft beginning, into a heavy Rockin tune! Ie,.. "Madman across the water," "Dream Weaver," "Ramble On," "Take It On the Run!" Many ballads are that way! Enjoy!

I'VE BEEN LISTENING TO THIS BAND SINCE I WAS A CHILD!!!!
Im 172 years old and I love styx. Been listening to 'em since bout 1913.

So sad, we as parents are not supposed to outlive our kids. Hope you are coping.
"Why am I crying? Did I hear Come Sail Away by the Styx again?"
Love community

the styx?
Riiight!
STYX was just too awesome to put into words. Vocally, and musically talented.
Awesome song by Styx! Used to listen to it over and over in LA in the late 70s when I was kid....brings back memories of the original Star Wars debut, Dodger vs Yankees, late nights at the park playing ball! Happy times!
Rey Rivera Amazing memories. On the whole, the '70s sucked but the music was good!
This is one of the definitive and great rock songs of the 70's. We ALL loved it....
We were the grads of 80 baby !!!! this was our grad song !!!! so many memories of high school and great times !!
And Life was SWEET!!!

I have a friend who is absolutely in love with this song, he draws sailboats on everything.
And they're some pretty kickass sailboats too.
That is one of the best comments I've ever read on UA-cam!
Uraneum I have a friend who does this with cocks. Some are pretty awesome as well,
+Uraneum Does he draw starships with aliens abducting the occupants of the sailboats?
so, does he draw them with crayons?

this song will never not make me cry. I miss you, Troy.
I knew every word to this song by the time I was 7 and I still do. I'm 21 now. My childhood was awesome.
I saw Styx live last night. Come Sail Away - by far the best song I've ever heard live. Wish I could relive it.
Life's good baby!! I'm going to see Styx tonight!! San Jose Calif. Come sail away ;-)
The Anthem of my youth. 7 years at an all boys-only catholic school...this song kept me sane. That and 70s weed, lots and lots of weed.
Fuck ya brother,I got you bro!
this song reminds me of my mother. i love her and miss her so much.
Every hard time, this song rescue me...
i almost shed a tear when they played a cover of this during Troys sendoff in season 5. Beautiful departure for a great character.
This was the theme song for my high school choir's 1979 pop-music rock concert. Yes. High school.
+Peter Harris Actually in 1983 We used this song at our graduation!!! guess we're getting old!! LOL! but know good music!

This and all the fools sailed away must be the greatest songs about sailing.
Chris Cross.
Chris Cross. Why is he so famous yet seemingly forgotten?
The music of Chris Cross was genius. Styx is awesome too.
jlucasound Christoffer Cross died last week.
Except this shit is about aliens. I wish I was joking.
I very much remember this song on the radio in the fall of 1977 when I started my junior year in high school.
Love this. Thank you 1980.
Easily, one of the greatest bands of all time and one of the greatest songs !
Can't think of any other vocalist singing at such a high pitch with a silvery smooth voice !!
I can kinds imagine Brad Delp singing this
i remember this sin in freaks and geeks
Love this song. I also love the Live version from their "Caught In The Act" album.
Both versions of this song are badass. Same with The Grand Illusion.
This is without challenge, the best song ever made.There is no song that is even close.
the voice, and piano
GREAT SONG! My dad game me an 8 Track and an old 8 Track player (before I even had a car), which my mom installed after he died when I was young. He told me this was what life would throw at me and he was right.
Saw them back in 1975. This is a AWSOME song. The sock hops slow dancing with your babe. What memories. Cool.
Truly bring back Classic hits songs of Styx One Greatest Band No. 1
First song I ever carried away a girl with, she still hits me up from Florida as her first love... the amazing memories of the sweetness make my life worth living. I miss you and hope you remember too.. my love.
right on
As of today May 5, 2018, you are free Kenny. I will always love you. Your son will carry on.
Sorry for your loss
This was my class song. Way back in 1978!
Styx the most under rated band of all times. Their music moves me
Classic. Love this song. Lyrics meant alot to me. Glad it is getting some recent attention.
xD this song brings back memories...
Defenitly does
Chicago's own! They played at my step dads high school back in '76!! Saw them live a few years ago, favorite childhood band, all there songs bring back memories, and that just makes me sail away :)
Oh Geeze! back in the day at the Lake and bon fires, this song was there playing. woot! woot!
it still plays at our parties.
Now this is what I call music.
but what volume?
Saw Styx and REO Speedwagon live in 2003 in Las Cruces NM. I think everyone in the event center was blown away when this song was played. Pure epicness I say!
Best concert I've ever been to, phones and lighters up with us all.
LOVE the lyrics.
Why am I crying? Will I accidentally listen to Come Sail Away by Styx again?
Every one has there part in passing
hey Porcupine Tree
I'm 20 years old and this is real music.
Was in a big City for the First Time an we got tickets to see them I remember that night the lights the freeways going every which way Houston it was Magical 🎤🎸🎹🥁♥️💯

Matthew Allen OK!
November 1977 a remarkable time machine memory
This song takes me back to Panama City, Miracle Strip Ammusment Park.They would blast this song in the "Abonable Snowman Ride". Great times and even better memories.
I kinda wish there was a version of this song that kept the feel of the first 2 min through the whole song.
Nope dude. That feel just sailed away.
Why not remix your own version? It's not hard.
Exactly my sentiments... Rock On ! Brother.
The first part is beautiful. I'd it stayed that way,... you'd have a great soft rock sentimental song.; however, you'd nuts our on the Rockin post that comes later on! "The crescendo"
Back in the 70's, a lot of classic rock bands/songs would build from a soft beginning, into a heavy Rockin tune! Ie,..
"Madman across the water," "Dream Weaver," "Ramble On," "Take It On the Run!"
Many ballads are that way!

It's a fucking funeral, not a party.
I doubt Yall will be playing anything at your funeral.....maybe your family will. Lol j/k awsome choice
Justin Jone actually a funeral is usually a celebration of that persons life
