America was a light folk-rock act of the early '70s who had several Top Ten hits, including the number ones "A Horse with No Name" and "Sister Golden Hair." Vocalists/guitarists Dewey Bunnell, Dan Peek, and Gerry Beckley met while they were still in high school in the late '60s; all three were sons of U.S. Air Force officers who were stationed in the U.K. After they completed school in 1970, they formed an acoustic folk-rock quartet called Daze in London, which was soon pared down to the trio of Bunnell, Peek, and Beckley.

(Submit New America Lyrics) (Submit New America Lyrics) Awesomely Simple Song | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Moon Song performed by America This was the one song that I immediately honed in one when I first heard "Homecoming" (Yea, Im that old!!...)It was simple yet, haunting, & melodic. Uncomplicated, just a great song!! I always thought what they were saying was Cajun or something...It reminded me of being out inthe swamps somewhere"...orange funnels..snowy tunnels.."I guess i was trying to make it more complicated than it really was... Lyrics make perfect sense | Reviewer: tjam ------ About the song A Horse With No Name performed by America This is a song about a heroin addict going cold-turkey: Horse = heroin, Rain = drugs, River bed = vein, After Nine Days = how long it took to come clean, etc. The lyrics are actually the best part of this song when you understand their meaning. bad lyrics | Reviewer: george ------ About the song A Horse With No Name performed by America This song has a pretty good melody. It sounds good, IF YOU IGNORE THE LYRICS. For example, "in the desert, you can't remember your name 'cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain..." Bad grammer combined with a triple negative.

Maybe under the influence of drugs this would make sence. But I doubt it! Bottom line: Good melody, dumb lyrics. Xinithium | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song A Horse With No Name performed by America Its a good song. I'll give it that. But for a long time it was (And possible still is) the most overplayed song of all time. Therefore, after hearing it nine-thousand times, it does indeed gets old. Then again, its probably just me, being all old-fashioned and such. Strange for a teenager, but whatev'. As I said. Great song, just a bit (talk about an understatement,) overplayed (By radio stations and their ilk.) great song | Reviewer: bar ------ About the song A Horse With No Name performed by America reminds me every trip to the desert, nothing but you and all this tremendous view of mountains and river beds no unnecessary left overs of civilization impresive | Reviewer: nonametogive ------ About the song A Horse With No Name performed by America love this song...I heard it the first time on GTA SA...I can't beleive a violent game like GTA has that song I did not know they sang a song like this | Reviewer: Jenny ------ About the song Satan (Demo) performed by America I could have sworn i have owned all there albums and today as america Lyrics were going in my head i found there new album but i have looked up old songs and it seems that there were some i did not know were they released on imports if so let me know i would like to get them I hapend twice i think today about there songs America | Reviewer: Johnny MAC ------ About the song Now That I'm A Woman performed by America They get a lot of airplay for some of their greatest hits but this group has written a lot of great songs that haven't got airplay - mismanaged in the 80s they have had a couple of good cd's in the 90s but with James Iha and Adam Schesinger producing the new album with people like maplewood and nada surf getting involved they sound great again good good | Reviewer: ramona ------ About the song A Horse With No Name performed by America i realli do appreciate and admire the lyrics of this song. the music is wonderful as well. i love the idea behind this song. it's watever u want to make it to be about, ur own interpretation of the whole thing. this song also puts images and events that never happened in my mind and they play like a movie in my mind when i hear the song. funny, i know. but i betcha everyone has a quirky thing or two they undertake. lol.
