Lyrics
---------
On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can't remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La la la la la la...
After two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red
And after three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead
You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can't remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La la la la la la...
After nine days I let the horse run free
'Cause the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The ocean is a desert with its life underground
And a perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love
You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can't remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La la la la la la...
Thank you all very much
Take care of yourselves, take care

I love it when HSCC has a shift around. Brad as a great voice and Jordan keeps a great groove... Brilliant choice of song too... Ace!

[@patricktherrien9487]

Very cool! ❤From Quebec Canada 😉✌️🎼🪈

[@user-sx7mu5ov2c]

These Guys and Gals are awesome. Their voices incredible. I Love um. Shame they’re not British 😂 well done you Aussies.

[@jclvmanagement7848]

Yes, there have been a few singers that have come and gone, but it's impossible to not recognize and appreciate how incredibly rare it is that 5 good friends, FROM THE SAME CITY lol.....Danny, Jordan, Kat, Brad and Con, have been blessed with such stratospheric talent they can cover, to perfection, 90% of the songs from the 70s, 80s, and 90s that became national and international hits. That amount of material is literally impossible to quantify. That's why HSCC is the #1 cover band in the world.

[@theHindleyStreetCountryClub]

🙏🙏

[@arizona2222]

You should get Brad out from behind the kit a tad more often!! Would suggest giving him a shot at Ventura Highway!!!!

[@larrywilson4340]

Very happy that I came across HSCC on KZbin as you guys crush everything you play and absolutely love what you do. All the best from Seattle.

[@viclakervic2571]

This is what UBER talent looks and sounds like!!! Such versatility. Incredible Brad💥

[@cevadau]

wait? what? Jordan on drums, Brad on acoustic guitar and lead vocals and Con playing an acoustic bass?!??! 🤯 Amazing.

[@kznsoftball5326]

Just as good as America

[@saundramonroe5501]

6 guys making BEAUTIFUL MUSIC!!!!! Brad your voice is mesmerizing!!! You should sing more often. Job well done guys!!!!❤❤

[@ronkeyes659]

A little Yacht Rock with The HSCC! Let's be honest, by a show of hands, how many listeners out there were singing along? Great harmony, laid-back, and relaxed, easy listening and mixed to perfection! The HSCC, You CAN Do Magic (hint). ❤

[@legendaryTMNICO]

That’s the first time I seen a resonator bass being used by ConZ

[@1254temp]

Such a pleasure to see all these old Songs played live again in a modern setting. Love it!

[@PlanetEarth143]

Not sure why the KZbin algorithm took so long to introduce me to your videos, but glad it finally did. Your re-creation of classic rock and 80s music is out of this world. Make sure you come to Southern California for your next music tour!

[@claudiaarcuri7184]

The sweetest voice ever !!! Loved !!! Kisses from Brasil !!! 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘

[@alejolopera]

We always see Brad on drums and look how great he is at the guitar. Same with Lennon... what a group of talented people ..greetings from Medellin Colombia

[@ianbrade7754]

Not to mention his vocal prowess!

[@markcossman200]

Man what a voice!! He should sing more....what a talent!! Drums, guitar and vocals!! And his drumming is memorizing....thank you for sharing your talents with everyone!

[@SlawekM.]

I've admired Brad's singing skills (especially whilst drumming!) ever since his take on The Eye of the Tiger - equally impressive (if not more). What a guy!

[@Gra8m8]

And "In the Air Tonight" (think Phil Collins) plus backing vocals often

[@markcossman200]

@@Gra8m8 no doubt!!

[@thebordernow]

And don't forget, "Don't Dream It's Over" !

[@katherinehenry1480]

This song requires a very special vocalist who can add color to predominantly one note. Exceptional, Brad!!

[@gladysbonomi4210]

Que hermosa voz tiene el baterista! Solo lo habia escuchado en coros. ❤❤❤❤ Argentina

[@susansimmons4134]

The menfolk did a fabulous job performing this song! GREAT sound!

[@wayneo1269]

Great version fellas as always. I love America they are a legendary band.

[@EstherFlores286]

This song brings wonderful memories. After school and homework done I’d jump on my horse and ride and daydream ! His name was Cobre ( Copper) he stayed but I always went back to see him every chance I got and listened to this song as I rode him. He’s gone but he will live forever in my heart. Thanks for this beautiful song❤

[@JoaoViraSoares]

I love this song and this cover is spectacular. Bravo Brad Polain and HSCC team. Come more Thursdays. Success + success + success 🟥🟩 🟥🟩 🟥🟩

Pete Savad is our engineer. 🔥🔥🔥

[@FransvandenBergeMuziekschuur]

One of the most beautiful songs ever made. Resurrected by one of the best drummers of this moment. What a voice. And he plays guitar like he does it every day on the main stages of the world. Thank you. My weekend is made.

[@guydouglas6094]

What a great rendition. As always, a good song is a good song. Some great guitar and bass playing. This has the right groove.

[@Stevo_Drums]

Con’s smile after that stellar guitar duet said it all 😃 Well done, gents!

[@78779]

Hats off to the percussionist in the background. Always there and always on point.

[@garyt19651]

[@miriamaguilar7977]

One of my favorite songs from there 60's growing up in a cup-de-sac with children from many ethnicities in San Pedro, CA. Thank you for the beautiful memories through this song.

[@RagingGeekazoid]

1971. Acoustic soft rock. Similar to Crosby, Stills, & Nash (also late '60s and early '70s).

[@kittiwa1]

Another exemplary cover that surpass the original sound and the audio mixing is exceptional which is the hallmark of this great band. Bravo HSCC.

[@rezalrahim5258]

Strangely I didn’t get any notification from KZbin. So being a HSCC addict, I went to the channel and found this. I was actually panicking thinking why HSCC didn’t post anything today lol

[@paulatristan8189]

Omg, Brad sang Horse with no name so well !!! I Loved it❣️ America is the best !!! Thank you Brad, more please !!!!😃👍🏽🎉

[@user-hh9pb7gx5m]

[@carlkramer7784]

Thanks guys just has so many memories listening to in my bedroom as a teenager. Always my fav. Thanks much

[@lazydog67]

I've had a bit of a HSCC concert this afternoon, been poorly for the last couple of weeks and you chaps and ladies have cheered me up no end. Thank you - and what a great cover.

[@simondepomeroy3542]

'The Brad' (aka 'the Brad nailer') owning it as a front man. And young Jordan, pulling a shift down in the engine room! Love it. He'd better lose that nice coat though, or it'll get covered in grease & soot. OK, for the next one, how about Con on skins, and Jake on keys?! YES...bring it.

[@Hrng270]

One of the greatest drummers in the World, Brad Polain now shows he is multi talented and an ace singer. All musicians performed at 100%. This is World Class entertainment, salute HSCC.

[@gtpete6363]

One of the greatest drummers??? ...Really?

[@JohnRidley-vv7we]

Got to be in top 5!

[@archie_miller]

All their musicians are in the world top 5, speaking of Brad, I'd say he is number 1.

[@nutbush341]

He is the best!!!

[@jimwilliams4599]

yeah he is good...but you gotta admit Igor Javad-Zade the drummer in Leonid & Friends is more awesome !

[@rogeriomarquardt5725]

HSCC, maravilhosa apresentação, sem dúvida, um clássico tão clássico fiel ao original. Parabéns!!! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@ChiefTechnologiesLLC]

Well done... Been watching every video since COVID Started. Nice to see everyone's talents but also the behind the scene talent with the editing. You can certainly tell that there is talent with the mixing and producing also. Keep it coming!

You are the best cover band in the world. I love all the songs. I only met you recently and fell in love with the band Hindley Street Country Club. Congratulations to all of you. You guys are the best. Greetings from Portugal.

[@SCWgreg]

WOW!!! That was an epic production and recording. Brad! Who knew?! Drummer, guitarist, and a killer lead singer! Great backup vocals by Jordan and Con. Steve’s Bongos really stood out for me too. Loved the whole arrangement Con. You guys crushed it.

[@denisjessop1611]

Great " rip" by the guitarist on the left and picked up and acknowledged by Con to.

[@cyclingbutterbean]

HSCC Unplugged! How cool is that? Jordan on drums, Brad on lead vocals, Con on the resonator bass guitar and a plethora of other talented players. What more could one ask for? Well done gents , very well done.

[@steely_Bob]

1972! Great high school memories. Con was probably about 6 when this song was released.

[@costelloandsilke7321]

Nice to see the rhythm section out front on vocals - and great bass tone Con - perfect of the song.

[@danschulzetenberg393]

Wow - well done!! Gerry, Dewey and Dan (RIP) would approve!

Thank you guys for picking A Horse with No Name!!! OMG! Loved it. When I saw it was one of my favorite songs from my favorite band America, I jumped for joy. Great Job! I had a big smile watching the whole video through!

[@chayaspa1163]

Brad is my favorite guy in tthe HSCC band.

[@pedro-mr.peterivera2395]

After the lead instrumental I love seeing Con Delo head movement reaction and expressions! I would imagine it’s the “they nailed it” and it’s so amazing to hear it! I’ve been listening to HSCC for years and your accomplishments of delivering an accurate interpretation of the original songs is the formula to all of your successes. Thank you for sharing your love for performing music the way it should be. HSCC the only band that cast a huge shadow over all others cover bands!

[@MrJudgeSauter1]

Beside the perfection of the playing...Harmonies are great!

[@mariomoreira5823]

❤ HSCC = NOBEL MUSICAL ❤

[@richardthurston9077]

This is magnificent! Love this take on a great tune. Harmonies are amazing. More like this please, HSCC! Living in England, I get what feels like a sneak-preview late on Thursday my time, when Friday’s new song drops. Love HSCC!

[@yekyekregis9748]

Perfect music.

[@murphy60]

Nice seeing this part of HSCC getting their chance to shine. Well done here, AWSOME and clean sound. Bring back the 70’s here.

[@wushock92]

Nicely done, mates! Cool looking bass, Con. And seeing Jordan on the kit was neat too. Brad, your vocals were awesome. Great job, everyone.

[@jean-pierrewatelet4836]

It's always a pleasure to listen to that beautiful song. The cover of HSCC is perfect. A special mention (?) to the lead guitarist. The solo of Gerry Buckley is not so easy.. Thank You at all musicians ( from France..) love.. 🥰

You guys are playing my songbook! I'd feel right at home singing and playing with you all down under!

[@markhosen1165]

Impressive versatility by this band . The guitar players are amazing . What a talented and versatile crew. Band never ceases to amaze me.

[@quiteright623]

Gentlemen , You have captured the hypnotic effect of this tune wonderfully !!

[@athlonen]

agreed. HSCC is bringing something to this song that I hadn't seen anytime I saw America play this: a VIBE. America's big hitting point with this was the singer/songwriter phase, as it had everyone calm down and chill out from the height of the issues at the time. This.. this is just a vibe, and it's really just gets you to close your eyes and just get lost in it. it's that good.

[@lamentertainment9956]

WF el mejor cover 100%

[@simongardner3766]

I have been waiting for HSCC to do this one for ages. Great performance as always.

No words to describe this performance and the quality of truly musicians you have there! I'm amazed!!! ❤❤❤

[@eunicerosa8277]

GUYS, I EVEN CRYED RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I SIMPLY LOVE THIS SONG.... YOU ALWAYS KILL IT, I LOVE HSCC! 😍🥰

[@mickeygelerstein8083]

1) The song selection guarantees at least a 50% of the final clip success. Here is a vivid proof. 2) Remarkable acoustic rendering (even some were electric). 3) The bass and the gitars sound extraordinary. 4) Priceless...for anything else use your mastercard heehehehe...
