SAILING WITH YOU
Words and music by
Torrey Bliss ©2021

No wind is blowing
Still we'll raise the sail
Out there's our future
Calm or stormy gale
As long as I'm with you
It'll be alright

Our future's bright
Our love it will prevail
We'll stay the course
We'll end this journey well
We'll ride the winds of life
And find our way

I'll be sailing with you
To a distant land reached by so few
Sharing each moment along the way

This ship we're in
It's stood the waves and wind
It's stronger now
Than when we first began
We've built this dream together
We can't stop now

I'll be sailing with you
To a distant land reached by so few
Sharing each moment along the way

I'll be sailing with you
Each day bringing treasures anew
Not looking back as we're sailing away

Some days the clouds still hide the sun
We're looking up for we have only just begun

Very delightful love song Torrey. So smooth and soothing

Hi Torrey,

You are such a good composer of songs! This song is very enjoyable to listen to - it creates an amazing atmosphere and the music is supporting your lyrics in a perfect way. So joyful to listen to!

Will

Torrey, this is the perfect love song!

Excellent playing on both the guitar and keys. Great mix.

Loved it.

Hi Torrey,

This is a very good Pop song with good commercial potential.

Everything works really well - I would like to hear your solo vocals a bit louder. The volume is perfect in the choruses and also the bridge.

Everything else - perfect.

Best Regards
Nigel

It's easy to tell you put a lot of love into this song! You can feel the affection in the vocals. You did a splendid job. Thanks for sharing!

Love the lyrics. The music didn't grab me straight away - just kind of grew on me. By the time it was over I was ready to hear it again.

Torrey

Very nice. Liked the flute parts, and your usual flair for harmonies on the guitar.

A most enjoyable song.

Peter

Torrey,

For me, this is Pop Music at its best. The song, arrangement and vocal sound radio-ready and hit-worthy.

The flute is genius and gives the song a special identity.

Loved it!

Bob

The piano part reminded me of Gilbert O'Sullivan...the build to the chorus is great...I was really hankering to get there and it didn't disappoint.
Your added parts really make this a Bliss Tune.
Torrey, it was a while between songs for a bit but this last set has been a welcome wonder.
Inspiring too.

Wow, what an outstanding display of talent. Excellent lyrics with top-notch vocals and perfect harmonies.
"Some days the clouds still hide the sun
We're looking up for we have only just begun"
What an encourage and realistic view of life's adventures. There are not enough pluses to add to a big A for this one, Torrey.

Torrey,

Killer Pop production. Those Drums sound great. Piano was a great choice.

Excellent vocals and BGVs.

Mix is solid.

You make music that is a joy to listen to...

Thanks so much Marty for taking time to listen and comment! I appreciate it! T

Real nice Ballad with a beat, loved the lyrics and the overall feel of the song, I honestly felt up a key would have worked better i.e. vocals .

just a wee thought .

Thanks

Man, you are on a roll these days, Torrey!

Such a great sound, pop music at it's best I think.

Quoting floyd: "You make music that is a joy to listen to..."

That pretty much sums it up I think, really well done!

Hi Torrey Bliss,

It's a very sweet melody filled with love. The lyrics are very nice. Cozy atmosphere with a beautiful set of instruments. Well done.

Kindly regard

Another Torrey classic, enjoyed the romantic lyrics about the sailing on the ship of life. "No wind is blowing/Still we'll raise the sail/Out there's our future/Calm or stormy gale" great introduction for the subject.

Beautiful chord progression. Really good arrangement, the piano and the flute are very nice evoking some 70's mood. Quality vocal track.

Thanks Will for your kind words! T

Thanks Mario! I appreciate it! T

Cool song. I love the beat you created. Great instrumentation by you and the band. Nice one.

Thanks Ghostgum! I appreciate your comments! T

Thanks Peter! I always appreciate your comments! T

Thanks Bob! I don't feel worthy of those wonderful comments but accept them graciously! T

I'm sailing!

Thanks Ray for listening and commenting! I remember Gilbert O'Sullivan. T

Thanks Marty for all those kind words! T

Thanks Floyd! That piano was a pleasant surprise! I had seen it in the list but had never considered using it before. T

Thanks beatmaster! I had considered bringing the song up a step but some of the high vocal harmony in the background parts would probably be out of my range. Who knows, I may still try it sometime. T

Thanks Dave! I appreciate that! T

Thanks for the kind words! T

Thanks Janne for taking the time to listen and comment! I appreciate it! T

Thanks jptjptjpt for your comments! T

Thanks, T

"As long as I'm with you
It'll be alright"

Yes! When I heard you sing this, I told Bud I felt like I was listening to "our song."

This reminds me a little of Steely Dan - and that is good.

The BiaB band and all of your performances are excellent.

We both like this a lot!

J&B

Torrey,

Another great offering from you—great feel to this one, accentuated by your smooth vocals. It’s got a hint of a Steely Dan vibe, mixed with a bit of Joe Jackson. But it’s all you on the end. Stellar tune!

My very best to you,

Deej

Great song with a nice bridge. Flute really stood out. Your usual nonpareil effort!

Thanks J&B for all of that! T

Thanks Deej! I always appreciate your comments! T

Thanks TuneMonger for your kind words! T
