America - Daisy Jane [w/ lyrics]

"Daisy Jane" a track from their 1975 "Hearts" fifth studio album.

One of my favorite songs by America.

2024...sad to have lost the feelings of this song..beautiful memories...I'm 68

[@williamjones6276]

I always did like America's music. When "Sister Golden Hair" came out, I was singing right along with the song while hanging around some buddies of mine who were also Black. They said: "William you like this stuff?" I said: "You guys need to educate yourselves. Great music is neither black, white or brown. It's just great music!" I have America's Greatest Hits CD and Daisy Jane is one of my favorites.

[@markmcgrath9736]

William Jones You are so right about that. If EVERYONE thought like you do this would be a beautiful world.

[@robmanic44]

William Jones You're exactly right!

[@keithsteen5013]

William Jones Made me smile William. In 1979 I was in the Air Force in Florida and 3 black friends of mine and I rented a Camaro and headed to New Orleans for Mardi Gras. Well, the radio wasn't working so we took turns singing "black" and "white" songs. By the time we got there, they were singing Carry On Wayward Son, and I was singing Love Don't Live Here Anymore :)

[@BryanRopar]

William Jones Yep- Good music has no regard to race or religion or has an expiration date for which it should be considered old.

[@williamjones6276]

Mr. Ropar you couldn't be more correct with your statement!

Several years ago I drove thru my old neighborhood and it's practically unrecognizable. The church my mother and daddy and I attended for the first 17 years of my life was demolished to make way for parking and shopping. Those places were not just part of my childhood but also part of me. I miss all of it.

I was stationed at Naval Air Station Alameda in California back in 1988 and me and a few of my Sailor buddies went to a Karaoke Bar. Now I went as the Designated Driver because I don't drink but my three other buddies did so they asked me to come with them. There was a Karaoke Contest going on and they joked that I should go up on stage and enter. So I called their bluff and went up on stage. I'm sure the audience thought I was going to sing a Motown or an R&B classic but I wish you could have seen their faces when I cued up "Daisy Jane"😯😆 You could have heard a Fly walking on Cotton as the music started and I started to sing the lyrics. When I got to the end, the audience was still silent until they ALL stood up in unison and gave me a standing ovation!😄

When this song came out things were much easier, people were real and didn't play games with each other's hearts. There was more to boy girl relationships than sex, and people didn't only think of themselves. O how I miss those day's when you could go out with a young lady and not wonder what she was after. The biggest thing missing in the world today is morality.

[@CARLPHILLY]

@SeaMe When I say morality, that's what I mean. I'm a minister of the Gospel, and I've learned over time to get people to thinking. Like what is different now, compared to the past. Sometimes people won't take the truth straight forward, though there is a time for that. Sometimes there's a place for subtlety.
