We’ve been brainstorming what music we want to hear when we sail away. Here are snippets from some of my favorites.
Rockin’ All Over the World by Status Quo
Oh here we are and here we are and here we go
All aboard and we’re hitting the road
Here we go, rockin’ all over the worldAh giddy-up and giddy-up and get away
We’re going crazy and we’re going today
Here we go, rockin’ all over the worldAnd I like it, I like it, I like it, I like it
I li-li-like it, li-li-li
Here we go, rockin’ all over the world
Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) by Eurythmics
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody’s looking for something
Where the Adventure Begins by Tim Halperin
Heading out
On our own with our hope in the clouds
And we’re starting to see that
We’re onto something
Feel it coming
We’ll keep running
Nothing in our wayAnd we got no reason to wait
Let the journey take you
Where it wants to
We’ll continue
To find our way through
Anything we face
We got what it takesHere we go
All we need is an open road
And a chance to see
A never-ending world that’s beautifulHere we go
With the sunlight on our skin
It’s a brand new day, it’s ours to take and we will let it in
This is where the adventure beginsEvery step
Writing stories that seek to be read
Taking hold of the moment as we discover
Every color
Filled with wonder
Now we finally see
We got everything we need
Orinoco Flow (Sail Away) by Enya
Let me sail, let me sail
Let the Orinoco flow
Let me reach, let me beach
On the shores of TripoliLet me sail, let me sail
Let me crash upon your shore
Let me reach, let me beach
Far beyond the Yellow SeaFrom the North to the South
Ebudæ unto Khartoum
From the deep Sea of Clouds
To the Island of the MoonCarry me on the waves
To the lands I’ve never been
Carry me on the waves
To the lands I’ve never seen
The Ballad of Gilligan’s Isle (slightly modified)
Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale,
a tale of a fateful trip.
That started from this tropic port,
aboard this tiny ship.
The mate was a mighty sailing man,
the skipper brave and sure.FiveTwo hundred residents set sail that day,
for a threehouryear tour.
a threehouryear tour.
So this is the tale of our castaways,
they’re here for a long, long time.
They’ll have to make the best of things,
it’s an uphill climb.So join us here each week, my friend,
you’re sure to get a smile,
fromseven stranded200 castaways,
Here onGilligan’sOdyssey Isle
Anyone have other suggestions? (Nina J, I could use your expertise in this…)

Jimmy Buffett’s Son of a Son of a Sailor
“Haul the sheet in as we ride on the wind
That our forefathers harnessed before us
Hear the bells ring as the tight rigging sings
It’s a son of a gun of a chorus
Where it all ends I can’t fathom my friends
If I knew I might toss out my anchor
So I cruise along always searchin’ for songs
Not a lawyer a thief or a banker
But a son of a son, son of a son
Son of a son of a sailor
Son of a gun, load the last ton
One step ahead of the jailer
I’m just a son of a son, son of a son
Son of a son of a sailor
The sea’s in my veins, my tradition remains
I’m just glad I don’t live in a trailer”

Sailing
Christopher Cross
Oooh yes! I love this:
Takes me away to where I’ve always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free
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
