Welcome to my channel! This is a music reaction channel. For the longest time, I've loved creating content on the internet. I started off with a gaming channel right here on CZcams, which eventually turned into a Twitch gaming channel, but as time has gone on I've evolved into doing other things on CZcams. For years now I've wanted to create a music channel on CZcams, and recently just figured "why not?", so it’s time to give this a go! Give me any suggestion you have for music reactions, and I will do my best to get around to them. As music has fallen further out of my life, I figured this would be a great time to get reintroduced to music.

America was wonderful back in the 70's and 80's! They all brought much happiness to us teenagers back then.
Shawn, America became a duo after Dan Peek left the group in 1977. This was the first hit they had after 7 years. The songwriter you mentioned, Russ Ballard (pronounced BAL-lard) wrote this song specifically for America. He also played all the instruments on this record except drums and he sang back up vocals. Russ Ballard was the guitarist for the band Argent in the early 70s. ie: "Hold Your Head Up" (1972)
He left the band after the 1977 tour when life as a "rock star" got to him. He, like Randy Bachman of the Guess Who, decided there was more to living than life in the fast lane
Finally you are playing my all time favorite America song!!!👍
1982 hit. Great song.
100% agreed.
America helped define 70s AM radio
My favorite America song even though I loved "Horse With No Name"
When I first heard this song I didn't realize it was by America. This was because it didn't sound the same as their other songs. I found out soon after that it was them. I love this song. It's great music as well as their earlier music. Great musicians.
they have such a wonderful sound. love them!
This was a comeback hit. Their last top-40 (Billboard) hit was in 1976, then after a long dry spell, they hit with this one in 1982. This was after Dan Peek left the group in 1977.
Going to see them in Atlanta GA in August.
As I recall, their last hit... I saw them in concert after this tune, they put on a great show.
I loved America growing up in the 70’s and I’m not religious at all but I read an article online that said he left the group on his own accord because he wanted to pursue Christian music. He had already quit drugs and became a born again Christian or become religious and no longer wanted to be part of America.
America was good in the 70’s but not a fav band to me but when this song came out it instantly clicked for me. The vocals and guitar playing and lyrics are literally pure magic. When I began teaching myself guitar three years ago I thought I could easily play the acoustic chords but nope. It sounds deceptively easy but is more intricate than I as a beginner could get down. Three years later I’ve learned nearly 50 chords and can play many songs decently enough but this one is still outta my reach 😣 Great reaction to an amazing song!
One of those FM-radio hits that, if heard early enough in life, sticks with you for years and years.
One of their Best, for sure.
Did you check out "Sister Golden Hair"? If not, it's one of the best America songs!
Love how you enjoy this music as much as many of us have for so long ❤
Dan Peek's years of life on the road with America had taken a toll on him. He renounced drugs and alcohol, renewed his Christian faith, and began to seek a different artistic direction than Beckley or Bunnell. He went on to sign with Pat Boone's Lamb & Lion Records and found renewed success as a pioneering artist in the emerging Christian pop music genre.
from Wikipedia
Hey Shawn, there were many bands back then that were basically three or four songwriters/ musicians that were backed by ( at least ) drums and bass. Examples are CSN&Y and Three Dog Night
With all their great tracks, this has always been my favorite. Here they are - live in 2008 - and still sounding incredible: czcams.com/video/yXG0E6xmdyU/video.html FYI, Russ Ballard wrote songs for nearly 50 other artists (including Argent - where he was also lead guitarist, Roger Daltry, Rainbow, Kiss, Night Ranger, Uriah Heep, Santana, Olivia Newton-John), and released 10 solo albums.
They are FANTASTIC! Check out Bread. They are excellent as well. Guitar man everything I own
💖💖💖
😊
He got tired of the road and fell deep into religion
Don't give up until you drink from the silver cup.
still prefer "the moon song" "i need you" "california revisited" and "old man took"
Total ‘80s vibe. I think Peek left to pursue a Christian music career. They evolved from the ‘70s like all musicians evolve.
A+..... Todays music F- .
