Loggins & Messina - Vahevala Lyrics
I'm thinking about when I was a sailor
Spent my time on the open seas
When we'd stay off the coast of Jamaica
I'd secretly steal ashore
The natives were waiting for
To sing with the sailor
Vahevala, homeless sailor
Vahevala, homeward sail away
Vahevala, homeless sailor
Vahevala, homeward sail away
Every evening I'd be gone
Back on board by break of dawn
I'm thinking about the nights in Jamaica
Stole a keg and now I'm drunk as a sailor
The captain he don't know
Where Billy he done go
But I'm singing with native girls
The songs of a sailor
Vahevala, homeless sailor
Vahevala, homeward sail away
Vahevala, homeless sailor
Vahevala, homeward sail away
Every evening I'd be gone
Back on board by break of dawn
Every night in Jamaica I'd sing with the lady
And drink with the men till the morning appear
Healthy sunshine is fresh on my face
As the songs of the night puts the ring in my ear
Vahevala, homeless sailor
Vahevala, homeward sail away
Vahevala, homeless sailor
Vahevala, homeward sail away
Every evening I'd be gone
Back on board by break of dawn

Absolutely beautiful footage of the 6 & 12- meter sailboats. Stunningly gorgeous.....And I'm thinking about,,,,,when I was a sailor! Ohhhhh/.............Caribe Caribe Caribe! Here I come! Some of these Islands, are Very, very familiar! OHHHH--La-La! Life is to be lived--Not Controlled----LIVE FREE OR DIE
Amazing! Keep coming back to watch! Fantastic video! Grew up on Loggins and Messina!
Where is all the footage from?? Great song, one of my fav's! Reed<><
The footage come from Porto Cervo (Sardinia, Italy), Saint-Barthélemy and Brest (France).
I truly hate rich fucking sailors.
You have no substance to contribute to society.
A story was born.
Wow! fantastic live version! love the ocean and being on her! beautiful ship around 4 mins
One word... Vahevala
I will always have Jamaica.
Vahevala... What a wonderful journey we are about.
Loggins and Messina... along with Talking Heads, the groups I never got to see in concert and am so sad for it.

Damn! This is actually the most beautiful put together compilation I have seen in a long time!! I grew up here on Point Loma peninsula of San Diego, still live in our old 1951 family home. My mom is pushing 101 yo come Dec. I came VERY late in life for them. I grew around the whole Kellogs Beach, SD Yacht Club, North Sails, Pete Conner, America's Cup, Shelter Isle, Marlin Club, SD Bay, and Mission Bay Regatta scenes! Hence .. I loved and love sailing, and yes, I can sail. Haven't for ages! But, I can sail. :P
I grew up in Point Loma too. PLHS class of 68. America's Cup.
I'm back for another dose of my Vahevala, and the memories it brings of my groovy bitchen righteous days of coming of age adolescence 1970s days of venereal youthful carnal knowledges!! :):):)
Does anyone know anything (places datres) re all the sailing events? They're lovely! Beautiful! Looks all so fun!
That's the same stupid fucking shit you said on the other version of this song !
I can relate....used to partake and trip to this song often
My good friend had a sailboat he named after this song. Great memories of sailing and blasting this song out over the ocean. Long Island sound & going to Block Island. 1977
Awesome video love to go sailing. Never been sailing.
Super.......Super.......
I was in The Navy....spent many many months at sea. NO PLACE I WOULD RATHER BE THEN ON THE OCEAN!!
Their flag said "Live Free of Die" is the state motto of New Hampshire.
Fabulous, great job, i really dig this! Thanx 4 making this.
Sail AWAY...SAIL!!!
Reminds me of 1977..
Outstanding work, kudos!
Wow! A perfect matchup! What beautiful video!
I watched this version on my laptop and the August 2016 version on TV using ROKU. I was able to sync the videos perfectly until around the 3:45 minute mark when the 2016 version stayed with the modern fleet. The video portion came back into sync, more or less, around the 13:30 minute mark. I prefer the August 2016 version although the 2015 version shows much more of the tall ships. The crowded scenes (the gawker flotilla) got to be a bit much but that is part of the action, as unwanted as it may be. In either case, each video is outstanding and worth viewing multiple times. Of course, the L&M live sound is great. Thank you deeply for these videos.
this is phenomenal nice job well done dude
So tell me, what/where is this regatta in the video?
Amazing ships. Just amazing. Not hard to believe they were once state of the art. Way better than what we have now.
Great vid for this song , Good upload...........tc
I agree
Brings out my Pirate...arrrggghhhh
I sailed away in my mind with the song
beautiful video with a great tune to boot
Wow...I love this song. Thanks for posting it! musicians4freedom.com.peace, ven
Love this song!!! Always have!!!! Music at its finest!!!!
Sharing - you have an amazing video for this song which I totally love. Close to my heart since I am a sailing crew for the Kalmar Nyckel tall ship of Delaware. Thank you!
