The 1970s and 1980s would have not been complete without America. This song is an 80's classic. So many memories of my very early 20's. Timeless music. The music artists of today will never come even close to this perfection.

Late 1970's at the town pool in a small midwest American town on a warm summer day, America playing on the pool speakers for the teenage lifeguards. I was around 10 years old and the summer seemed long - no school in sight, there was nothing but the pure freedom of childhood and summer play, tomorrow and the next days would be the same, as far as my youthful eyes could see. I can remember that feeling of blissful freedom, but I will never experience it again. This band and a few others are tangled up in those good memories.

This song was only presented to me within the past year but it’s quickly become one of my favourite songs ever. Only 30 years of age myself and this song makes me happy in ways today’s music never could. Love to America 🇺🇸

Ahh yes, the cool and relaxing sounds of the Tek Cave...

[@805livin4]

Thank you Mr Flores(my 3rd grade teacher) not only did you not give up on a bunch of low life’s that came from bad backgrounds but you also introduced many of us including myself to great music. I will never forget and will forever appreciate what you did for me and my brother

[@r.marian6277]

What a wonderful post! I am a teacher as well so this is extra special for me. I am sure you and your friends had a positive impact on Mr. Flores as well.

My favorite America song of all time is "Horse with No Name," about the foray in the desert. This song is number two for me. What an AWESOME GROUP with timeless appeal!

Today's music airwaves is desperately lacking in this type of music. Music that is raw, melodic, emotionally uplifting, and resonates with our feelings.

[@BrentLabasan]

check out Mayer Hawthorne - Crime

[@RobertJones-ux6nc]

Heck today music most lacks anything good in it, musicians who lack any talent except the ability to scream in to a microphone or cuss and call that good music.

[@williampride6008]

perhaps not so much with the younger on average though listener's yes, they may see as well as we just individually and more.

[@samycascadelapaix8289]

. . . check out Alizee or Joyce Jonathan. . .quality music has a universal sound. . . you don't have to speak or understand French. . .but you, if you are open to new sounds, can sense and feel the pure magic in the next generations and their transcending music that will blow away stuff from the 20th century. . just wait a decade or so. . .(the comments above are IMHO) & the fact that historically all music evolves, changes & progresses into new sounds & genres by observing & practicing the previous generations works AND then thru hard work, some luck & inner inspiration from their selves or their friends take music to the next level. . . have faith that things WILL improve & get better. . .the BEST is yet to come. . .

I grew up listening and enjoying many of the songs performed by the band "America" never knowing back then there was a band called that.😂

It’s an amazing experience blasting this song while driving in the mountains of Ecuador, touching the clouds. It is magic.

[@mikedoctor3224]

Love that breezy late 70s/early 80s sound (some call it "Yacht Rock"). Eye in the Sky by The Alan Parsons Project and Ride Like the Wind by Christopher Cross are other great examples.

[@GrummanAlbatross]

Eye in the Sky is one of my Favs

[@ColtraneTaylor]

Songs like that are why childhood seemed magical to those of us who were under 5 or thereabouts. Imagine hearing Nirvana at 3.

[@_lwza_]

@@ColtraneTaylor Yes, for me they evoke long summer car journeys with the parents.

[@ColtraneTaylor]

@@_lwza_ Yep. And if I might say so your avatar looks a bit like an early 80s video.

[@justinwmusic]

These guys really evolved during the course of their career. And every phase was good and unique.

[@Christie-gp2cy]

Their music was magic, pure and simple. No pyrotechnics, no screaming, no dirty lyrics. God, I wish we could go back to that great time.

[@themetalhead1463]

Fuck yeah!

[@olgafit176]

Best time ever!!!

[@gigiarmany4332]

It is a great song💥💖, but if you're talking of the entire time of the 80s ,THEN yeah there were lots of screaming, yelling,dirty lyrics going on in that time period by the metal bands & rappers ,so it wasnt a simpler time ,just a cooler music genre, like cool jazz & funk or classic...beautiful tune though👍🏼💓

[@hotpopcorncake]

I listen to those song. But I consider this safe space music..

[@eduardo0796]

Well, they do say "darn" in this song.

[@jamiemcwilliams4503]

Love this song so much. My ex husband sent me this link, reminding me that I used to sing it to my son when he was a baby on the changing table. When I used to say 'You can do Magic" I used to say "Bing Bing," in a high voice and he would giggle and giggle. A beautiful memory... unfortunately, he was killed in April 2002 at the age of 20. I always wanted to recreate this memory with my grandchildren. We'll see...hopefully soon now that my daughter has found her forever love. ❤️
