Classic! Yes, they don't make them like this anymore. Tight harmonies and great guitar, something lacking in today's music. No one sings harmonies anymore....
I must be the only person on the planet that can play this bass line just like the original... so far everyone on YouTube fails badly... I'm gonna record it tonight...
This song is not only very melodic but poetic. America is a fantastic group with highly professional singers and songwriters. This like a number of there tunes will role around in your head for hours. Loved this group back in the 70's and still do. There songs are classics
People wants stuff they dont need. People wants to talk, but dont want to listen. Theese guys are chilling smoking out of a bong, knowing they dont need wealth and fame, only love for life. Thats my interpretation. I loved this song since i was a little kid and didnt understand english, know im 19 and i love it even more. Please understand you dont "need" all theese stuff commercials and other makes you believe you need! Sir Gallahad didnt need the holy grail. Let go of your desires.
no entiendo nada de este tipo de comentarios, peeeeeeeeeero lo q si se es q este tipo de rolas las escucha mi madre, mi mamá tiene 57 añitos gracias a Dios y gracias a ella escucho todo este tipo de musica tan bonita y relajante, no me guio tanto por lo q diga la letra sino el estilo de musica es super relajante, q lastima q los tiempos cambian y la musica se va "renovando" pero los clasicos no se olvidan y esta no es la espcion ;) maravillosa musica secentera 60´s forever
the 7 assholes whom voted thumbs down should get their asses kicked! how can u hate on this sassy ass classic jam! it kicks ass and its deep and delicious yes..god bless AMERICA
Let me interpret the lyrics for those who are curious: the Tin Man journeyed to Oz to get a heart, which he did not need. Sir Galahad was the most noble of King Arthur's knights. A tropic is a hemisphere. I think what they're saying here is that we are all like the Tin Man living in a noble shadow and we should, in the company of people who haven't realized this yet, act like it.
This is merely an interpretation. Please believe in me when I say...
"cause never was the reason for the evening" does this mean... well; what does that mean? some feel the non meaning, an thas ok... but are we to believe these fellers jus wrote nonsense? that that lil bit of wisdom means nothing?
how many times do we do things jus "cause", do we simply react, as the popular notion of reacting dictates? but are the times... the moments in the continuum of our experience so trivial, is there more to the evening than jus because?
@1Savioso1 If anything, the lyrics are obscure. I've always felt them to be nonsensical which is why this is one of my favorite songs & one of the few songs I'll sing in front of a crowd because I love it so.
@ WAFERS35, like ISAID IAM GLAD I GREW UP ON GOOD MUSIC! Last I heard, everyone could still freely state their OWN opinion in the United States which is where I am from. Now with that being said much of the music (not all) that is being played on the readio today straight SUCKS! that is my opinion and I stand by it ya dig!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This wins the award for the worst song ever. Melody is very lousy and depressing. Voice has no range. I was shopping at Wal-mart when this came over the speakers, I had to leave the store and wait 5 minutes till it was over. How long will people play this song till 2050? Maybe play something a little better like Armin Van Buuren.
@1myusernamesucks The reason you hate this song and also why you shop at walmart are one in the same. You come from a low socio-economic background, where you are forced to do with very little for long durations of time which resulted in your lack of interest for anything of actual quality such as this song. Or your mother also does not love you and stood idly as your father held you down and probably raped you to this song. Hearing this song reminds you why you are gay.
@1myusernamesucks Hearing a song over Wal-Mart speakers doesn't actually count as listening. You judged too quickly and missed out. Its not depressing at all since the song meaning is about believing in yourself but you may not have heard that over your own pointless whining.
I'm so happy that mp3's are available. Instead of having 6-7 records to take up space, you can have all the songs on one portable device so you can listen to all the albums and songs.
Hard to believe, but I swear if you listen closely to Lil Waynes "Mr Officer" this song is sampled. He has been sued for alot of songs, I wouldn't be surprised.
Lets see, 1974 I was 4 and honestly remember hearing this tune frequently growing up. 5 years later I turned 9 and got a nice drum set from the fat bearded guy! Joined my first band at 14. I guess what I am trying to say is I always liked America, This song and all they have given us fans. Now 41 still love this tune & still have those 1979 Ludwigs. Oh Yea, 6 people SUCK!!!
@THEATREofPAIN270 I was 7 in 1974. When I hear music from this period, I realize that I know more music from this period than I thought. My sister was seven years older and I bet she played a lot of it. Thus I heard it in the background and learned a lot of it.
@THEATREofPAIN270 I remember listening to this on 8 track in my parents 1973 Oldsmobile. Brings back some really great times and some of the best music ever.
p.s. Those Ludwigs would bring a small fortune now a days.
@HKapollo Actually not worth too much. Kind of a common set, To my knowledge, A lot of those set sold and quite a bit are still around. I kind of believe it because some guy I know has an identical set. All original. He paid $275 for it, That was about 10 yrs ago. Have a great one dude.
check out the new album "Dufflebag Dreams" from the artist "Myrycle Man" (pronounced miracle man). available on iTunes and amazon MP3. check out the radio singles "Daimoku Glow" and "The Tale Of Conner And Racine". iTunes link:
When I've had a crappy day at work and all I want to do is punch some stupid motherfucker in the face......I just listen to a few lines of this smooooooth ass music and I'm once again "centered" Thank you AMERICA!!!!!
thx dad 4 making sure i liked music from your time rather then my own other wise i might have tuned out to be a stuck up teen :) (by the way i'm only 13)
@bjggjb Yeah, but with the Scarecrow she could have had a "roll in the hay", and with the Cowardly Lion she could have had ..........oh never mind... I had something to say, but too BAD to put here.
I was told that back in the day, these guys got a bad rap for being "corporate" by all the "real" hippies. I still think they're great and this song is all about being yourself. The system can't give you anything you don't already have.
I sooo love America. I bought their fist album in, what, 1972? I only recently learnt about their history but their music is indelibly imprinted on my mind for a certain period of my life. Bless.
i was fourteen when this song came out. never knew what it was about but love it all the same. many thanks for posting this- has brought back many memories of my youth
@MsChiChic wern't your parents critical of your generations music. I agree that the 90s were terrible but music is starting to get better. believe me, from a person that likes both generations of music. just stop being so critical of others musical prefrence
This is when music came from the heart and soul - it was called 'making music' and like 'making love' - it was ALL natural... not like the techno - digital bullshit we have today
Musical mastery, makes no sense but it sounds so good it dosn't have to.I miss my youth I mean I miss it real bad,I had the best time. were did it go I just don't know.
If you excited about life, come to my site VIRGO NOIR and listen to upbeat music and some is mysterious. If you think that life is meant to be enjoyed...enjoy the joy of music on VIRGO NOIR.
PS: saw them twice in concert in the 70s - and those were two of the best concerts I"ve ever been to. (And I had a mad crush on Gerry Beckley!) When I was sixteen, I drew the back cover of the "Hearts" album and sent it to them, and got a really nice letter back from their publicist! And regarding their cross-cultural appeal, I know a 30-year-old African American man who loves them as much as I do. Great music is great music!
@Kevierae as a fellow negroid...as far as I'm concerned...these guys are considered folk I suppose...but they have just as much soul as anyone else....good music is good music...I was born in 85 so this doesn't bring back great times...but I can agree that this music is timeless
@drumsyeah Trust me, he will rest in peace. I read that he was a CHRISTian. I'll get to shake his jand in heaven. JESUS loves you. If you want to meet Mr. Peek, be ready when JESUS comes back. That will be the only way that you'll meet Mr. Peek. JESUS loves you guys. No matter what anyone says, JESUS saves. HE has a plan for you that only each of you can do. No one was created to do it but you. You are worth so much more than you think. You are worth the life of a KING's SON. Never forget that.
from an album called HOMECOMING i think.master piece.i was 8 yrs old and with my 18 yr old brother when he bought it.store called dolphin discs in dublin.ireland not ohio for any american readers.just class almost faultless music.god bless america
I'm only 15, but when I was back in the 4th and 5th grade, my teacher had America's Greatest Hits CD , and she would play it for us while we worked, so much that we were able to break out into sthe lyrics each time a song came on. I still love it now. <3 <3
Great song, This was a great soft-rock group of the 70's and into the 80's. Produced by Beatles' George Martin--of course you know the song would be great.

@drumsyeah Trust me, he will rest in peace. I read that he was a CHRISTian. I'll get to shake his jand in heaven. JESUS loves you. If you want to meet Mr. Peek, be ready when JESUS comes back. That will be the only way that you'll meet Mr. Peek. JESUS loves you guys. No matter what anyone says, JESUS saves. HE has a plan for you that only each of you can do. No one was created to do it but you. You are worth so much more than you think. You are worth the life of a KING's SON. Never forget that.

@drumsyeah It could be the video itself they don't like, since it can't be the music!

I'm only 15, but when I was back in the 4th and 5th grade, my teacher had America's Greatest Hits CD , and she would play it for us while we worked, so much that we were able to break out into sthe lyrics each time a song came on. I still love it now. <3 <3

Great song, This was a great soft-rock group of the 70's and into the 80's. Produced by Beatles' George Martin--of course you know the song would be great.
