We are a fortunate generation. Im 75 and am still listening to the music of my youth.
57.....remember getting an AM radio..........these are the types of songs that were played
@garyculp4179Me too! 74.
Stimmt ! Bin 75 Jahre alt ....und höre täglich die Songs der 60er .....wir waren damals glücklich !!!!!!
I'm 41 raised on it
Respect
Oh my God what happened to our music. This is perfect. Need to look back 50 years to remember great music.
soul died
Exactly! I stopped listening when rap took over
Partly due to fear of getting a copyright violation, there’s only so many ways to arrange notes that sound good together. The rest is crap that gets crapped out by lazy crappy writers and crappy musicians and singers that crap their crappy crap and crap.
The music Industry only cares about money .. they fucked it up for profit .
@dorothycampbell408Me too.Meaningless music.
My son was born in 1981, as a toddler he loved toy horses,one day while listening to the radio this song was on horse with no name he immediately fell in love with this song and so did I. He is no longer here on earth, every time I hear this song it reminds me of how good he felt when he heard this song. Mario this one’s for you rest in peace. Love always mom
Sorry for your loss mom. My oldest children listened to this because we did. My wife is up there now as well. May all rest in peace
So Sorry Sandra 💔 Prayers for your joyful reunion when it's time.
God Bless 🙏
❤❤❤ I HOPE YOU FIND JOY AGAIN...A LOTS OF LOVE AND HAPYNESS FOR YOU❤🎉❤🎉❤
From a Mom who also lost a son, may you find peace my love! (My song is 'Sideshow' by Blue Magic Jahir was 5 years-old and always loved clowns. He wanted to know why this clown in the song was so sad. Songs heal and connect our souls. I will now think of your son Mario when I hear this song. I know somewhat how you feel, our sons live on through song. Blessings to you.
Strength and healing to you 🫶🏻
Our generation definitely had the best music hands down
Every generation has incredible music. You just have to look for it.
And yall voted for Trump so there’s that
@Seq-ei2pwyeah you won't be around much longer to deal with the aftermath
Motzart???😅
Every old person says this lmao open your ears up plenty of great music has been made before this and there will be plenty great music made after it.
My childhood was in the 1970s. Please Lord, may heaven be filled with those 70s feelings of security, calmness, and simplicity.
I lived those yrs guess the almigthy let a tiny bit of paradise descend on earth during these decade and on to the 80s.😊
I didn't have a worry in the world....@ameofami6715
And the Vietnam war?
And freedom !
amen
2026 anyone. Still here listening. Great song. Sing it Dewey❤❤
Happy new year 2026 from Chicago 🇺🇸
yep, be safe
After 3 brutal back to back combat tours in Viet Nam I finally got my walking papers. My heart was lost and empty. The sounds and words from America wormed their way in and started me on a long road to recovery. I’m now 77 and am so thankful that they came along at the right time at the right place. I do live in the desert so this song is so real to me.
Thank you for your service man! My father in law was a “river rat” in Vietnam. It’s always cool to hear the few good stories and memories he has. Hope all is well with you, I’m sure you’re still kicking ass!!
Schön das du alles überlebt hast. 👍🫶
Wow, great job sir… i salute you!
My father crossed the Rhine river and was very close to hitlers getaway hide out!
Thank You for Your Service, God Bless...
Thank you for your gift , many blessings
This music is a gentle escape from chaos. To anyone reading, I hope life treats you kindly, and your worries fade away.
Thank you!
Muchas gracias. Deseo lo mismo para ti y para todos.
DIOS QUERIDO QUE RECUERDO CON ESTE TEMA LO PONIA A FULL EN EL PREDIO DE SMATA SI TENIA UN EQUIPO DE SONIDO INCREIBLE ABASTECIA 143 parlantes un sonido y yo era tan jovencito era musicalizador
Heard this song thousands of times and still don't get tired of it . Legendary.
I concur ....Love from Wales .
I know every word in seq it played on the radio in the workshop I got my trade ,, local radio stations plated music like this in NZ 70's , Thanks for a refresh of the story . that was told
So soothing
Living in tempe az when this came out in remember riding my little kawasaki yellow 100g5 trail bike down baseline road towards mesa az humming this song....wearing hang ten t shirts...we thought we were cool...
@gmh101358 great comment ,,love it ..Love from Wales

HI Texas Girl!!
wanna boff ?
Asi es amiga texana.
Lady Texas girl hi from UK Brum 70s & 80s where Brilliant time's best era for music your a lush looking Lady if you don't mind saying K.R.O 💙🇺🇸
They cant make music like this anymore. This is an absolute classic.
Yes they can just need to find it
They abosolutely do, its just there are more artists than ever so the best bands get hidden.
@WhiskeyAfterHours…..Aye! Could you name a couple of “hidden bands”? …out of pure curiosity, I’d appreciate your opinion! Thanks!❤
No one is going to give you crap want music like this no auto tune ai get off damn phone go find it cant find it WRITE IT stop copying other people !😒
@TekieD-Rogers type in new indie music 2025 music or which style of music you like in RUclips.
Some songs never die! Awesome
Reminds me of a time long ago, when I was stationed aboard a guided missile destroyer and we were on a cruise in the Indian Ocean. and when not in CIC on watch, I’d be in my rack listening to the two tapes I had of America among others, fighting back tears because I missed my girlfriend so badly. One year later I was back in port, and married to that girl. Now, almost 46 years later, she and I are still married, and I still love listening to the greatness of America.
I was 10 years old and I listened to the radio ❤😢😅 2:37 😮
I was on the aircraft carrier The Ranger…in the Indian Ocean as well…81’
Beautiful story....bless you both! Peace and mercy!
Thanks for serving…”AMERICA “ thanks you
Was on a submarine in 74, love listening to America, such a clean sound.
Excellent song. Still in 2025.
@jellebigge I love this song. It still sounds so great
i have a feeling this song wiil be still listened too for decades if not centuries
Yes, great song. 2/15/2025
Listening from Mozambique. May 2025.
This has to be one of the most recognizable songs of the 70's. It's a classic.
Absolutely... One of the best
Gee, you think!
@mas5867Gee, you think!
@mas5867 Gee, you think!
Back in my younger days, this was one of my favorite songs.I've loved this song from way back.Yes and this is 2025❤
Me too, blessings from Glasgow
There will never be music again like we had in the 60s , 70s 80s the best ever
I know and I feel blessed to be able to watch programs like this on RUclips.
I second that!
💯%
And 90s!
I was informed as of how a serious Classic song was written from the original Head East. It broke history. I'm not kidding! ☮️ Never Been Any Reason.
I'm 60 years old and still listening to music from my teenage years.... Never gets old
I'm 78 and I do as well.
@stevenmedina9744 same here!!!!
Same!
Same here. 63
I think good tunes create a memory grooves in our brain but for some reason many people are capable to enjoy music only when watching movies.
Am still listening to this music for 52 yrs now
Who's been listening to this music to
No auto tune. Just talent ..
55+ years listening, still love it, great memories of those years
🎶🎵 👋I'm right behind you brother what a beautiful song bring back memories 70s 💯have good day my friend leep enjoy the music 🎶 2025
56 here
@joseyanez3105 🎵🎶👋 thanks for replying brother I'm glad that we are still listening this beautiful song from America good old days 70s great song keep enjoying music of the memories 💯📻👌
I’m a 23 year old woman and this is one of my favourite songs ever ❤
Listening in 2025. The music takes me back to the innocence of my 1960s childhood, and the slightly less innocence of my teenage years of the 1970’…So needed!
…and to top it off, my kids who are in their 30s love the music too!
Same here😊
I love ROCK genial.
I’m with you sister. Born in 1961 so a child of the 60s, teenager of the 70s (think Dazed and Confused lol) and college party girl of the 80s. 🎉😂❤
@ChicaMaria61My sister! Was also born in 61
The youth of today who oppose Trump and his ideologies LOVE 60s and 70s music because they believed in what we believe in today! All the great rock musicians of that era knew the world and thats why so many of them despise today's politics and especially Trump! Im glad we have 60s and 70s music to relate to us now in 2025
After 52 years this song is still awesome...
You better believe it
well said
52? okie I am 69 (and going ....blind)
Tengo 54 pero que buena cancion@lolaowls2825
🎶🎵👌same here brother still listening after all these years 70s ❤great time classic 👌 70s 80s 90s is 2025 have good day my friend
Ya pasó la durísima prueba del tiempo, es decir, al haber superado los 50 años y con las nuevas generaciones escuchándola difícilmente está canción será olvidada o no gustada como muchas otras canciones existentes y también excelentes.
This my sober song , reminds me of being "lost" in vegas addicted for years. 10 yrs sober but whos counting
Every day might be a struggle but hang in there my friend. Stay strong..Wishing you the best 🙏
Stay blessed✝️
Good for you 🎉
Well done you😊
👍💐

Yeah post war weve been very blessed. Material provision, food, music, nature but then things changed in the last few years.
I'm 55, I'm one of those great things produced, June 1969.😁
we have big titted girls everywhere nowadays
I’m 67. Right on!
1955 here the best year. 70 years young from Italy.
In 1972 I took a motorcycle trip from NYC to San Francisco and this was my theme song the whole time. It was magic. Thank you America.
Wow, what an amazing memory to have associated with this great song
Lucky you. I always wanted to go to Cally.
Это прекрасно! Крутые воспоминания! 👍🏼
That's awesome!
This is how I knew California... and all the big skies out west. It was magic, and they painted that magic in their music. Thank you America!
Music that told a story and meant something I’m thankful that I grew up in the 60,70,80 music was the bomb.
Is there anyone listening now in 2024?😢😢😢
I’m here right now this music is hitting the spot
I do ... 🎼🎵🎶👋🥰👍🌲🇩🇪
Of course I'm here, from France 😊
Me!
After 9 days I let the horse run free, cos the desert had turned to see.
Good afternoon my friends
Who's still listening to this music in feb 16 of 2025 to ❤🎉
I am! Great music! Miss the old days! Fun memories too! 60 from NC!
You better believe it brother! This era of music is my absolute favorite.
moi depuis mes 16 ans et j'en ai 69
I'm still here listening
I am how good is it
How fantastic was our music from the 70's!!! There were so many great bands, and it was so diverse it was just commonplace. Fortunately, it will be around forever to appreciate.
Love the 70’s. The decade of the acoustic guitar.
Indeed! Very good Music!!!!
60s were even better
This song was anointed by the Holy Spirit no matter what anyone might think
God bless every member of the band
Whoever still might be living
Where has it all gone.
As a nearly 70 year old British man, all I can say is that this is a song that will always stay with me.
Yep, gotta agree timeless classic love n peace from Cardiff, South Wales ✌️🏴
Such an incredible era of music to grow up with...
Feels like such a privilege to have experienced...timeless
💯💯💯💯
It's definitely a privilege coming from gen z
I'm 65 and still kicking ass love this song
I'm 73......still can't get enough of 70'S music🎉
You and me both ❤
Me same 73

Listening on January 2-2025 Amazing music, beautiful storytelling!
I had a great friend in British Columbia, Earl Schroeder. Any relation?
My husband from Minnesota had an Uncle in Copper Center BC
Had just graduated from high school that month. A good time in my life.
ouvindo em 16 de janeiro de 2025 ouso desde 1985 kkkk
😂😂😂😂
It's Called Classic Rock for a reason 🎸🎵🎸🎶🎸
This is more folk rock to me but close enough
I lost a good friend and teammate recently. After football practice we’d hit the showers and break into this song . Innocent and fun times back in ‘73 .
I'm sorry for your loss
We used to wait all day for this to come on the radio. When it did I would call my best friend so she wouldn't miss it. ❤
2025 I’m still enjoying this song and will be coming in time
Well done, grandpa 😉.
What a beautiful song… the sound is amazing bravo 👏🏼 still listening 2024🎉
me too j adore ce groupe..
Yes. It is just before Christmas if 2024 and I am listening and still love listening to this and America’s other masterpieces!
I recently discovered the beautiful and profound work of America, I will come back a lot, I will forever carry these beautiful songs in my memories and good moments in life.
You are in for a treat! America is one of the best ever!
Their old stuff is the best, but a newer tune you should check out is "You Can Do Magic!!" If you haven't already! One of their last big hits.
I was born on the cusp of rock and roll. By university in 1970, rock was at its zenith. I am blessed to have lived through it and have access to the videos of these incredible musicians. I’ve discovered some that I wish I hadn’t dismissed so lightly. Listen to the music of Greg Lake, first with King Crimson and then Emerson, Lake and Palmer. The first two years of King Crimson produced some of the best rock imo. I don’t care for some of the schizophrenic songs of ELP but the ballads sung by Greg Lake are superb. Happy listening! 😊
You have discovered a gold mine. One that many of us have enjoyed its never ending riches for over fifty years.
Enjoy the ride..
I started my journey in the fall of 2021. Decided to sell and scoot. I have to say that I have absolutely no regrets or buyers remorse
March 11, 2025. Thinking happy but sad thoughts. This could be the last time i listen to this song thinking future generations can't possibly appreciate this if you didn't live it. Peace ❤
Im so sorry
March 13,2025 up all night ,full blood moon with an eclipse and beautiful music to listen and sing to.I may be old but these songs I grew up with and I feel like a time traveler going back to happier times in the country.We had the best of the best musical artists and there songs have lasted the test of time.
I hope you are ok
Future generations might not have seen this live but will pass it on to their children, the same as I am doing to my children and the same as my parents did to me.
This song was the first song I ever heard from America, as a boy, back in the 70's. I remember it like it was yesterday! We were in my mothers 1975 Chevy Impala Wagon, and this song came on the radio, and even at that young age, this song really grabbed me! I've loved them ever since!!
You're singing my story too friend.
I remember listening to this on a.m. radio while sitting in my folks vw bug .
Great memories!!
Same here ❤😊
You've been blessed!
Sadly nowadays kids will never hear music as beautiful as this.
sure they will If they listen
@HR-rt9nh "if" being the operative word
We do
I am very happy that you do.@pranavpremnath4755
A true favorite, thank you America, so many songs so many memories❤
I'm only 22 but you guys back in the days had such great songs, this one is my absolute favorite
Mire niño usted no tiene ni la más mínima idea d nuestros tiempos maravillosos q vivimos nosotros pero me da mucha alegría q a pesar d su edad tiene mucha madures en sus gustos felicidades joven saludes 😂.

Classic Forever.
Thank You AMERICA.
One of the best of the era, from the best era...
Yes they was the best and a great group to
Growing up with siblings in the 70’s.. I sure miss em and the 70’s music
A voice clear as a bell, singing with feeling and accuracy. A lasting classic song of great quality..
Loved this song from the moment I heard it 51 years ago. Timeless. Those were happier times. 🇬🇧
Your still happy
yes .. listening 12/28/24 .. I was born in July of '60.. what a great time to be a kid and a teenager.. wow.. the late 60's and 70's...
The US was at its best from the late 60s to the late 70s.
@ianmacky2841
There was a nasty thing going on then, in a place called Vietnam. It was horrible for my generation but some of best all time music created.
Doubt it😎🏄♂️🇺🇸🗽
Born i 61 and i agree. We were lucky. Too young for the trouble but grew up during the best music.
November 61'
2026 on my Birthday enjoying this Gift
Happy Birthday!
I heard this song in Vietnam when I was 13 (1972). The Vietnam War was raging at the time. And now I am 65. I still listen to this song in the car on my way to work.❤
Have the box CD set! One of the best bands of all time! ❤
Oh for my youth again...brings back memories
I'm 75 yrs. Old still can't forget that beautiful song I play it on my phone all the time when your old people forget you so I'm a person with no name
Older life can be lonely... music takes us back to sunny days and friends no longer with us. Keep playing the 70's. We had it for real time. Lucky we were there!
❤❤❤video great thanks 😂 1:04
I saw this tour way back then. America is on the soundtrack of my life.......
I’m going to see them in one week at St. Pete, Florida. I went to school in England with Dewey.
@mikewelch3903 Nice.......going to be the end of an era, soon. And I remember those days like yesterday......maybe more, lol
A classic and unforgettable song that will stand the test of musical time! America is for sure one of the greatest rock bands of all time! Thanks for all the great tunes and memories Gerry, Dewey & Dan! 👍👍📀📀
We had so many of the greatest bands of all time we were and are so very lucky
October 2025, Aussie here🎉🎉🎉🎉

❤❤❤
Laying in bed at night with just the glow of the radio dial and this song came on ,to me it was a bedtime story 😊 i want my 70' s back
You have them any time you want them. Just travel in your mind. Best time machine ever invented.
@orlandorodriguez4387 me too, even the 60s!!!!!
@debbiephilbrick2628 oh yeah!👍
Ventura highway is one of the greatest songs of all time. Thank you America and George Martin
This song is such a relaxing chill song ❤
Haunting song that echoes a distant time yet also sounds fresh
music of the 60's and 70's gave me my youth
2025 anyone?
Dumbo
I'm in ...
As a kid in the early 70's I heard this great song.. those were the days and songs that meant something!!
I heard this……I think of my Dad working in his Garage. Only memories……..
Nothing else left
unfortunatly those times are long gone, still missing them. Beeing free, no worries, life was good
Nail on the head today is shit K.R.O 💙🇺🇸
Listening in 2025
wasnt ever like that for me.
I was 15 years old when this came out and I desperately wanted to learn to play the guitar. Now I’m 69 and arthritis prevents me playing for very long but I still like to have a go at this but I can’t do this great song any justice. 👍
They were only in their early twenties. How could they compose and play such beautiful music at that age?
I was 10 in 1970 and remember hearing this song on the radio, didnt know the group/song..but i just fell in love with this fong and many other groups from 60s/70s ..songs with simple lyrics/melodies/and music you could appreciate..not like todays Rubbish .
God Bless America..jim,UK
Well, I’m 83 now and my song book began in the 50s. As the years went by, musicians became more talented and song writers became more creative. I still enjoy pop music from every era. Frankly, music from the 20s, 30s and 40s produced what is known today as the great American Songbook.
Enjoy what you like.
Early Gen-X here! This is the music of my youth. I still own this album, the one I purchased with my lawn mowing $$$. I just purchased an original turntable cabinet from an estate sale. I’m upgrading the turntable and speakers and can’t wait to listen to this album again as if I was back in the day hanging with my “hippy” aunts and uncles. Man, do I miss the 70’s.
This was my first album. I was 10 yo in 1973 and purchased it with money that I earned myself.
Happy new year 2025 anyone else here with me God bless us all 💕🙏
Jan. 2025 listening to oldies/goodies from decades back. this holds up just fine. So does Bread & so many others. good to remember that once upon a time i was young😢
Musik ist Göttlich!❤
April 2026 BernardoMendezLugo in México City Pure nostalgia!!
Omg this song is so reminiscent of my teenage years
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 remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...
After two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red
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 remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
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 remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...
What a band,a tune,a life!
76 and still loving Americas music today….
When I got this album in 1973 I knew they were a special band. So many memories with this music...
Saw them last year in LA, with my wife and kids. A whole family of fans.❤
LEGENDARY IMMORTAL SONG
Listening January 2025 with my grandma
Und ich höre es in Deutschland 😊
America seen them few times in concert at Newcastle their songs are timeless🎉
