I discovered this song when I met this one girl, during a very harsh time in my life. Her middle name happened to be Jane, and well, things never worked out, and we haven't talked since. I've moved on, but each time I hear this song, it brings back the heartbreak.
me encanta la hermosa convinacion d etalento, la voz de GB, la melodia, el mensaje en la cancion, es verdaderamente una de sus grandes obras musicales, la sencibilidad esta presente en todo momento, es uno de los pocos seres humano virtuosos.
@bushnaby01...that is so awesome. You give me hope that my lost love of 20 years who I recently found and have fallen for again will work out better this time. Not that I'm worried....she is the woman I plan to marry! I'm sending her this song right now...
I love America so much. This is what music is supposed to do - make you feel good! I love this song very much as I do their other songs. I'm 38 and they say this is way before my generation, but you know what- I know great music when I hear it.
These men have always given my heart a wandering of love and a lot of soul...thank you so much....I have loved this song for over 35 years. Brings me back to the love, dreams and caring I felt at that time...I learned that what I felt then is also what I feel today.....The guy I was crazy for at the age of 14 is still the man of my dreams today, after a lifetime of children, divorce, lost love and all....we are back together...Remember your dreams....they are who you are....
One of America's very best, and, though many do love it, it is still underappreciated. It ranks as one of the loveliest love songs of the unmatched 70's. Only thing I miss here is Dan Peek's high harmonies.
@pnutbutrncracker I totally agree with you that this band was sooo... underappreciated.! It most certainly does rank as one of the loveliest songs of the "unmatched 70's". This song continues to haunt me and has for the past 35 years. Thank you for sharing your appreciation!
today i road on a horse with no name . but after that i took a drive down ventura highway with sister golden hair and daisy jane to go find the tin man but we got lost and saw aligaters and lizareds in the air . and we saw some lonely people . and on the way home we listened to america =D
perfect performance...the quintessential American sound........and now a days they "sample" already established hits and rework them just enough not to be sued as example Janet Jackson "wrote" Let's Wait Awhile" and had a huge hit with it...and it's just THIS song...."Daisy Jane"...Patheic
Absolutely LOVE this song! But when I watch this video, and hear this version, I really want to start singing "brocco-locco-locco-liiii". Doesn't diminish the song in any way though.
I happned to listen to Sister golden hair today. So I have listend to their songs,and found this song. Yes, I had their Album, and listend to it again and again, when I was a junior high school student. What a nice soft sound ,good song!I ' m glad to see them now. Please come to Japan someday! I want to go to your concert!
If you were in high school when this song came out I bet you remember it. It was a sweet time to be in school. Unlike today there was really great music all over the radio on AM and FM. It always makes me smile when I hear this kind of music because I know it was my music and holds many sweet memories of long hot summers at the swimming hole, picnics, midnite rendevous and first loves.
As I listen to this song I think that Lets wait awhile by Janet Jackson was fashioned after this song...! Listen to it and the music and vocal arrangements... It's similar to Daisy Jane..
What a GREAT insight! It happens that I was humming "Let's wait awhile" this morning and about 30 minutes later, this song from my past popped into my head. Thanks for helping me make this connection. Good ear! ;-)
@wallyhawaii: oh yeah.. I love this song.. the melody the lyrics and the delivery.. and when I heard it it instantly popped in my head..! Jam & Lewis produced the song for Janet so either they are big fans of America or Janet is because Ventura Highway was also sampled in a later song by Janet....!

Gerry Beckley (singing) wrote/published this song in 1975. It was first released on America's "Hearts" album (Warner Bros.) the same year. Hard to believe the song has been around that long. Another timeless classic from one of the best bands ever!
I agree, this is a great song. I am not sure I understand your reference to not being born when the song was released. I was not born when many songs were written, but enjoy them too. However, songs like this seem to transcend time, and many music genres.
