"All Around" written by Gerry Beckley & Dewey Bunnell:
I look to the east when the day is done
And think of it all
All the thoughts that I've seen of satin seams
And tide pool dreams
I look to the sun (as the day is dawning)
I carry my dreams (from a moment before)
I try to recall (but I find myself yawning)
I guess they are gone but there's more so I head out the door
All around
listen and you can hear the sound
On cloudy days
seems like I always feel this way
First break in the day if the time is right
nobody minds
I stroll down the lane, take a breath of air
and drift on a dream
I look to the sun (as the day is warming)
Consider the things (that have happened before)
I feel like I'm one (with the wind on the hillside)
I feel like I'm one with the river that runs by my door
All around
listen and you can hear the sound
On cloudy days
seems like I always feel this way
All around
listen and you can hear the sound
On cloudy days
seems like I always feel this way
I look to the sun (as the day is dawning)
I carry my dreams (from a moment before)
I feel like I'm one (with the wind on the hillside)
I feel like I'm one with the river that runs by my door
All around
listen and you can hear the sound
On cloudy days
seems like I always feel this way
All around
listen and you can hear the sound
On cloudy days
seems like I always feel this way
All around
listen and you can hear the sound
On cloudy days
seems like I always feel this way

One of my favorites by them. Never heard it live, although I've seen them many, many times. This is not just a rare treat but it's a really good performance! Thank you!

@@giselemarcianolourenco6646 Oi Gisele. Gerry é uma paixão que eu tenho desde adolescente. Sou casada, realizada profissionalmente, mas no meu coração existe um lugarzinho que é do Gerry. Não é "adoração," é amor por esse artista sensível, lindo, completo. Fiz alguns vídeos para ele e postei no meu canal no KZbin. Por favor, assiste: "Gerry Beckley medley" **** Gerry Beckley MUSKRAT LOVE-- ****Gerry Beckley CHASING the RAINBOW **** e outros. Obrigada pelo seu comentário. Fica com Deus. 🥰

It was a Big Hit in Mexico , it´s a mystery to me why it wasn´t in the US .........thanks for post it , un gran tesoro para los que somos fans de America

[@stevenwillis270]

I’m reading Dan peek’s book and he said when he first met Gerry that he said stick with me because I’m going to be a rock star and he was right thanks for the great music 😊

[@patrickmcquillan3039]

I really like this song it lifts your spirits; beautiful rare song it was never on radio

[@LichaelMewis]

That's gotta be the one and only David Dickey on bass. The bass sounds exactly like the studio version. Bravo!

[@LichaelMewis]

Great song. I wish they'd add this to their concert setlist, plus some of their newer material too which by the way is mostly undiscovered by most people.

[@jean-paulgaillard4544]

A big pleasure to listen this song. Thank America.

[@americabythereza9105]

Gerry!! Oh Gerry...❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Xx_Prisoner_xX]

I remember this was a hit in the Philippines. Please add to your concert set list.

[@romansfortunyr3882]

this is a song that makes more meaning as you age, as the days run out, as the hours turn to seconds as they take more meaning when you walk outta the door and on coudy days.....well they don't mean much when your cool inside.....great song....and then I feel like I'm one with the river, the sun , the sky....really all around....

[@AlfredoZamudio-b1p]

One of the best hits of America in rare live version!🖐✋👌

[@senneka67]

My favorite song of all time.

[@franciscosalazar9143]

My favourite song of America. Everytime when I listen this song my mind fly to my memories in that time. Feelings, faces, places, situations. All in a mix of happy and nostalgic moments. Thank you for sharing this great video.

[@juliantaylor7663]

Rare for dewy to play 12 string

[@davidm-1965tb]

Fabulous. Great video. Many thanks

[@edmendiola3330]

In Mexico was a Big Hit , even in the record you can read " Contiene el exito Alrededor"

[@altwavee]

dewey with a 12 string is cursed lmao

[@Evertlabastida]

My all time favorite band ever...

[@loulamatina6502]

The boys are playing on the Summer stage on the Seaside Heights, NJ boardwalk Saturday August 6, 2022. Have VIP seating near the stage for $75. Should be a great experience.

[@saranilsson4901]

My BFF and I were there on that hit and humid evening-we loved being there. Wish the sound quality had been better.

[@anti-hyperv4797]

Dave Dickey handles the highs (d. peek) very well.

[@stevencurtis924]

Pure Gold

[@deniseiamondo7029]

I love this song. It would be nice to say played it in some of their concerts. Maybe they'll play it in Plymouth Massachusetts on August 18th I'll be there singing ride along with you. You guys are the greatest

[@stevehart8621]

[@smileysmilefan7879]
