Its such a fat bassline groove so mega chilled out 70's "we can work part time and still afford to purchase a house" vibe ....all the time in the world to engage reflect define refine and reengage with life ..hahahaha I rule
yeah lots of memories connected with this this song,also....Mostly centered around a brutal romantic break-up....and this song was on the radio every f**king moment at that time....But what a masterpiece of a song,eh? It's brilliant.....Achingly beautiful.....
Ambrosia, Puerta and Pack layered their music and harmonies into some amazing songs which we all miss today. Out of all of their songs, this one from their first album is still my favorite. I swear I have heard two different versions of this as noted by the end of the song but I cant put my finger on it. Here is to hoping that more bands will learn the meaning of playing their own instruments, singing their own songs and layering true harmonies.
NEVER HEARD THIS SONG..BUT THATS PART OF MY PROBLEM IN LIFE, HOLDING ONTO YESTERDAY.ITS A KILLER AND A HEARTBREAK...WHAT TO??????ANY ADVICE?????TIME TO MOVE ON, WITHOUT MY DREAMGIRL, KITTY...THIS SITUATION HAS HELD ME BACK FOR 14 MONTHS AND IM STILL SOMEWHAT SHOT..BUT IMPROVING, REALIZING ITS NOT WORTH IT FOR ANY GUY OR GAL..BUT THATS FOR THE HEART TO DECIDE SOMETIMES....HEARTBROKEN...BUT....love u kitty...good luck and wish me the same..x0x0x..pete
@rexrockandroll Cheer up darlin, it does get better with time. They say time heals all wounds, its true. If Kitty wasnt meant for you she wont be, this experince only prepares you for your real love that is comin and you can bet she is coming. Remember with a smile.......
@rexrockandroll love given cannot be recalled for love is forever ...... that was your part she is gone and the feelings in women do not run as a mans... remember that..
@porgy I agree. Their song Biggest Part of Me, which was good of course, was a much bigger hit. But this song is so haunting. It is my favorite song by them as well.
I think one of the biggest problems with music nowadays is that nobody is willing to put their egos aside. Every singer today sings over the top, every lyricist is obsessed with themselves, and nobody seems willing to play a part-they all want to lead. Ambrosia was a real band, every member did their part.
the artsy side of Amborsia is what got me"hooked"on them.they did however rock out hard on "One Eighty".very diverse group and talent was not in short supply here.
wish I could find a live version of this song from the 70's. I know the "band" or whatever is left of it still play today but I would like to see the original
Man this gong really speaks to me, I been through alot in my life time (22 years thus far). I always had a problem of letting anyone and everything that i been through in life go you know. This jam here really wakes me up inside and gets me. I met a woman who really loves me and her whole being helped me let go and work through all of what i did and been through in life you know. I am really thankfully to have her in my life sincerely. I love and appreciate you mahal ko talaga sobra. salamat
Wow! Loved me some Ambrosia back in the day. Loved the 70's . So many white bands doing the R & B "thang." Hall & Oates, Bee Gees, Average White Band, etc .There's a six minute live version of this on Youtube mobil and it 's baddddddddd! Love this song.
thanks boswell. this tune is fantastic as are most of their songs. Great vocals and playing.
Haven't heard this in ages. Bless youtube and people like you for finding and posting stuff like this. You always have to hunt for good music to escape the corporate drivel spewed on the 1%'s stations.
catsenround i know how you feel my special ladiy is gone but i will never forget her her warm touch her smile and her laugh her warm sence of being miss her
I was 14 when I first heard this in 1976 ..what an amazing song. Even then they classified it as progressive, hah, no wonder I learned to appreciate Dream Theater??!!
I keep holding on to my yesterday, the 70's was a simple and loving time for me. My man then is gone now but i never forget what i once heald on to. A love that has never gone away from me.
@catsenround this song is fine Check out NICE VERY NICE BY AMBROSIA here on ytube its prog rock some of their other pop hits to me arnt great thats all
i met the lead singer and sound engineer in early 1979 when i was working for luskins high fidelity in fort laud. fla. they were looking for the best portable stereo cassette deck to record there concerts with.at the time we were selling the sony tc-158sd for $380. i told them that i use to use the tc152sd myself for years but if they wanted the best that they would have to go up the street to hi fi buys and get the nakamichi model 550 for $500 and they did!
@candace1600 It IS too bad. What the hell happened to our collective future??? Music used to be so creative, expressive, imaginative, inspirational, motivating, emotive, evocative, spiritual, cathartic, and soooo many other powerful influences on our lives----WTF happened in the past 25+ years???? Moronic imbecils got hold of the controls and dragged it all down to the level of amoebas and parasitic worms. The reptilian instincts rule now......
@Karnakdmagnificent 25 years might be extreme ....Soundgarden, Portishead, David Gray, Tori Amos, Chris Isaak, Nirvana, Iron and Wine, Norah Jones, Pavement, Elliot Smith, Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead, Neutral Milk Hotel, Fugazi, Christ even Seal Etc im just saying its more like 5 years of an absolute musical abyss
HAVE TO LET GO OF YESTERDAY....THE PAST IS GONE...THE FUTURES UNCERTAIN THE END IS ALWAYS NEAR....EVEN WITH LOVE, THATS THE HARD PART OF LIFE..X0..DAMN....
This beautiful song takes me back to the Fall of 1980 when I was 16 year old, a Jr. high school and the terrible crush that I had on a girl that I had met in summer school. She never knew how I felt about her because she normally attended an all girls Catholic School and I went to an inner-city High School in San Antonio. I heard this song for the first time that Fall on late night radio and immediately associated the song with the girl that I was crazy about.
wow great song!! i was 15 years old living in ciudad delgado,san salvador,cuando esta cancion se oia mucho en el radio.yo no sabia ingles,pero me gusto mucho.i learned English as a second lenguage and understand the lyrics much better.la he buscado mucho pero no me sabia el nombre nor the band s name.Gracias por ponerla.it feels good to travel back in time!!
amazing! Ive had this song in my head for 2 weeks now!! not knowing the true name of the song, or the artist till this morning it popped in my head again and I thought I had to find out who sang it cause I loved it! and it was Ambrosia!! amazing!! I love them and and this song! Thank you for posting it making it so easy to find :)
I made a list the other night of the top 10 songs that I could not ever bear being unable to hear ever again, and this topped the list, no question. So beautiful, romantic, haunting, GOD I love it.
The past is gone. We can't live in it. It's not living. Today is that future. Things don't make us happy...better....they just fill that emptiness of want. What we want and need...we can only get from within. And it is way more special when it's shared with someone who cares. Dreams are only dreams. What is real is what makes us live. Odds are...it will work.....you just have to decide what's it worth to you. Not in money value...but in the heart.
ACTUALLY FOR MYSELF, I WANT TO BURN AWAY MY PAST AND KILL IT, KICK IT IN THE ASS AND MOVE ONTO A BETTER FUTURE..THATS ALL I WANT FOR THE HOLIDAYS AND NEW YEARS....WHAT ARE THE ODDS????
DennisB3533,, your so right on... amazing song... when I was a kid and heard it it hit me so deeply and has never diminished in its feeling... it's a mystic piece really...
wonderful music... i remember this song when it first came on and it still gives me goose bumps and brings tears to my eyes.. Moody Blues sounding in a continuation of that good bluesy and mystic feeling...
Everything we feel for this music and time period, the first loves and lost loves, the good times with old friends, the carefree times, the music that's not made anymore. It's the same comments our kids will be posting in 20 or 30years from now. I just enjoy reading these and seeing how so many people have the same thoughts and feelings come back to them when they here this music as I do growing up in the 70's and 80's in Fla.
yes please bring back the great tunes of the 70s and 80s i simply love this song summer nite in my new camaro on the way to pick you up sat nite hmmmmm
@MrJameswildcat or dirivng around with my friends in my 76 mustang cobra - haha great memories - wonderful music - that's why we're still listening to it today
SignalStat... baby-boy, those days are never coming back- I was 16 when this came out... and man... all those people, all those places... I keep Holding on.... oh boy...
This song is pure awesomeness...I was only 7 years old in 1975, but I still remember these amazing songs. The artists today have NOTHING on bands like Ambrosia, Boston, Three Dog Night, Atlanta Rhythm Section, etc., etc. and never will. I too would trade everything to live those days again. Thank goodness we can still hold on to yesterday.....
I agree...to go back...even briefly...would be a great gift...the 70's were an incredible time to be alive...there will never be that kind of pure talent again...
Hey guys, you're right! This is a great song and 1975 was a good year; I graduated from high school that year. The 70's really were the best, and the music from that that period was alright. I'll let you all know when I finish building my time machine--I'm almost there!!!
I was 16 and life was idyllic. Life was just so much smoother then, not jagged and sharp like it is today. I had a girlfriend who had beautiful feminine curves, not twiggy-like and boney. I have her back after 36 years. Right on!
They never play this great song on the radio anymore and i think its way better than anything Ambrosia has ever done. It's all good but this one breaks my heart and brings back romance like none of their others.
think about the words people we will allways think bout our yesterdays great song that special someone we once held in our arms could not wait till we saw them again saw that look in their eyes wow----------
i guess the lyrics were self fulfilling. i was also a kid in the 70's and that time just felt like no matter what happened prior or in the future, we have a slice of eternity hearing that music again today; but you had to be there.
I don't know if this was just a S. California thing or what.....but I remember back in the 70s whenever a song had a really strong or interesting solo, the d j would describe the song as "tasty".......this is one very "Tasty" tune.
this is absolutely my ALL TIME FAVORITE song. I've always loved 70's "soft rock" but when I heard this for the first time (July 22, 2006, I will never ever forget it), I literally got chills and realized it is so much BETTER than any soft rock! The number of times I have listened to it has numbered in the hundreds in the last five years. Thanks SO MUCH for posting!!
San Francisco, 1975, on the roof top having this song being played while I was with my friends. Being 13yrs old then, it still brings me back to those carefree and fearless times. Also got stoned for the first time. Eureka Valley rocked.
Been going crazy trying to find this song on here, so glad you posted it rock on! An all time classic from a truly amazing band, this song will never ever fade with time but live on.
ALL, I can do is do a Quantum Reality Reversal n Dive Back ... to the very moment I First hear this song, Ambrosias first chartBuster n my Heart was Drawn in like a Moth yo a flame ... ... ... And STILL IS ...
This remind me of my first girl friend growing up in the 70's life was so simple then. we use to talk with each other on the cb radio and we only lived 2 houses down from each other. crazy love I tell ya!!
Thanks!!! I love this ol' music! They must have played this good ol' music when I was born seriuosly cause I still love listening to it and will till I die!!!! Thanks again! Peace \/
I grade this as one of the best all around songs ever recorded. My teen years were the 70s. How times have changed. There is a haunting quality coming from the entire song.
This is the best time ever for me, yeah!! great "NO MOBILE PHONES, ITERNET, ETC".......but we had great music and not many wars like today, terrorism, etc....everything was just fine, I miss the 70's when I was young............
this song haunts me and grabs my soul to remember to hold on to yesterday because its in our blood to hold on please dont forget this love we have for good music and that special lady you know who you are hoold on
One of my favorite 70's Tunes! I was in high school when this came out. This song made me an instant fan. The music of the 70's was far better than what we have today. Awesome Tune!
Such a beautiful song...Why couldn't music STAY this way?? This brings back such memories of a very special person that I still love and miss to this day...Thanks for the upload..
jgatjr you are so right im 57 and will never understand todays music they have no clue that special someone in my first new car listen to the words what a great song long live the great songs of yesterday
David Pack had one the great voices in the business, from Ambrosia, through his great solo work, and his contribution to the Alan Parsons Projects. Simply fantastic!!!!
Gut wrenching! I recall 1975 when I broke up with my first love. I was on my way to community college and had to pull off the dam road when this song came on "Keener 14". I haven't forgotten this song since. Thanks.
Its such a fat bassline groove so mega chilled out 70's "we can work part time and still afford to purchase a house" vibe ....all the time in the world to engage reflect define refine and reengage with life ..hahahaha I rule

This song is pure awesomeness...I was only 7 years old in 1975, but I still remember these amazing songs. The artists today have NOTHING on bands like Ambrosia, Boston, Three Dog Night, Atlanta Rhythm Section, etc., etc. and never will. I too would trade everything to live those days again. Thank goodness we can still hold on to yesterday.....

I agree...to go back...even briefly...would be a great gift...the 70's were an incredible time to be alive...there will never be that kind of pure talent again...

Hey guys, you're right! This is a great song and 1975 was a good year; I graduated from high school that year. The 70's really were the best, and the music from that that period was alright. I'll let you all know when I finish building my time machine--I'm almost there!!!

I was 16 and life was idyllic. Life was just so much smoother then, not jagged and sharp like it is today. I had a girlfriend who had beautiful feminine curves, not twiggy-like and boney. I have her back after 36 years. Right on!

They never play this great song on the radio anymore and i think its way better than anything Ambrosia has ever done. It's all good but this one breaks my heart and brings back romance like none of their others.

i guess the lyrics were self fulfilling. i was also a kid in the 70's and that time just felt like no matter what happened prior or in the future, we have a slice of eternity hearing that music again today; but you had to be there.

I don't know if this was just a S. California thing or what.....but I remember back in the 70s whenever a song had a really strong or interesting solo, the d j would describe the song as "tasty".......this is one very "Tasty" tune.

this is absolutely my ALL TIME FAVORITE song. I've always loved 70's "soft rock" but when I heard this for the first time (July 22, 2006, I will never ever forget it), I literally got chills and realized it is so much BETTER than any soft rock! The number of times I have listened to it has numbered in the hundreds in the last five years. Thanks SO MUCH for posting!!

San Francisco, 1975, on the roof top having this song being played while I was with my friends. Being 13yrs old then, it still brings me back to those carefree and fearless times. Also got stoned for the first time. Eureka Valley rocked.

Gut wrenching! I recall 1975 when I broke up with my first love. I was on my way to community college and had to pull off the dam road when this song came on "Keener 14". I haven't forgotten this song since. Thanks.
