New Song & Video posted for “Sailing” (Christopher Cross Cover)
If you have attended a Windsor Drive show in the past you know that we like to perform a cover song here or there during our set to spice things up a bit. Anyway, we decided to take it one step further this time and try something new. We present to you our very own recorded version of the 1980 number one hit Sailing by Christopher Cross. The music of Christopher Cross has been a huge influence on us as individuals and collectively as we write Windsor Drive songs. After tracking the song, we thought to further demonstrate the emotion of such a powerful song it would be cool to shoot a video for it. Daniel Cummings, a great friend of ours who has worked with fellow Wisconsinite Bon Iver as well as regional artists Tapes ‘n Tapes and Mason Jennings, was approached about the idea and shared a passion and creative vision for the song. To some of you we hope this brings back memories of those days many years ago, and for others we hope this opens the door to new music! Check it out… Sailing. — Kipp, Jon, Owen, & Dan
