America-I Need You-Demo

America-I Need You-Demo

We used to laugh, we used to cry
We used to bow our heads then, wonder why
And now you're gone, i guess i'll carry on
And make the best of what you've left to me
Left to me, left to me

I need you like the flower needs the rain
You know i need you, guess i'll start it all again
You know i need you like the winter needs the spring
You know i need you, i need you

And every day, i'd laugh the hours away
Just knowing you were thinking of me
And then it came that i was put to blame
For every story told about me
About me, about me

I need you like the flower needs the rain
You know i need you, guess i'll start it all again
You know i need you, i need you
I need you like the winter needs the spring
You know i need you, guess i'll start it all again
You know i need you, i need you

I need you like the flower needs the rain
You know i need you, guess i'll start it all again
You know i need you, i need you
I need you like the winter needs the spring
You know i need you, guess i'll start it all again
You know i need you, i need you ...

America is an English-American folk rock musical band, composed originally of members Gerry Beckley, Dewey Bunnell, and Dan Peek. The three members were barely past their teenage years when they became a musical sensation during 1972, scoring #1 hits and winning a Grammy for best new musical artist. Their recording success was almost entirely throughout the 1970s; some of the band's best known songs are "A Horse with No Name", "Sister Golden Hair" (both of which reached #1), "Ventura Highway", "Tin Man", "Daisy Jane", and "Lonely People".

Some of the band's singles and albums were successful commercially, and they attracted the services of The Beatles' producer, George Martin, for a series of seven albums.

The band suffered a heavy blow when Dan Peek quit the group in 1977, right at its apex, but Beckley and Bunnell returned America to the top 10 as a duo with "You Can Do Magic" in 1982. Continuing to tour (for almost four decades now), America maintains a loyal fan base and performs over 100 shows per year.

On January 16, 2007, America released Here & Now, the band's first major label studio album in over twenty years.

@nightfawn27 Nice video. These aren't actually "demos' however . These were live versions for a German television show - Musikladen, in 1975. This song was a hit in 1972.
