Dino..I was not referring to yourself, I mistakenly forgot to mention whom I was referring to for a moment.

I first heard Sailing By after midnight one night in the 1980s on Radio 4. Most of the 80s was rather traumatic to me. It was so beautiful to hear the sound of Sailing By, so soothing, especially during the nightmare I was in. I finally managed to download it off a file sharing site a couple of years ago.

Now that I am learning the tenor saxophone (first time I’ve learnt music) I want to try and play Sailing By.

Avast There me Buckos,

What a lpad of piffle I’ve just read on here. Sailing By stands for something for each and every one above even those who can’t stand it. For me it means that half my night shift is in the bag and only half to go… so for me it’s a happy tune. No matter what you think of the arrrangement and choice of instruments it could probably mean something happy to you too.. go on, what is it?

I cannot go to sleep unless I can listen to ‘Sailing By’, I think it’s the most wonderful tune ever composed. it’s so relaxing..just the thing before retiring to bed. I love it!
I wish it were played more often.

Uinsin: Yes. Google for George Pollen. He’s arranged much MIDI stuff. Good stuff, too.

Sailing By??? I can only refer you back to the original post and Jen ‘I tell you what is worse than “Sailing by” – Bells on sunday fading into “Sailing by” ‘. I would like to express my utter hatred of those but words literally fail me….

I have wonderful memories of listening to sailing by with a sailor after a few bevvies in the Yacht club. Can’t beat listening to the grating tune as I drifted off to sleep in a drunken stupor.
