Southern Cross by Crosby Stills & Nash
“I lost my uncle today. He was a fisherman and loved the sea, loved sailing in a boat of any size, and fished the central coast in a vessel that seemed terrifyingly small to me. Wishing him fair winds and following seas as he sails on to his final destination.”

While playing this: "Dad, can you turn something on other than old person country music for oldies?"
Having some oldies feelings and just feelings. :) This one is hitting the sweet spot.
The Southern Cross is a celestial constellation by which sailors of old sailed in the southern hemisphere and in this classic by C.S.N. from the early1980s if memory serves me correct.

My first song for “TMJ” in the New Year is ‘Southern Cross by Crosby, Stills & Nash’. A childhood favorite, always brings me back to the early 80's and the songs mix sad loss and hopeful dreams always seem to resonate with my soul.
...my love is an anchor tied to you, tied with a silver chain...
