(Gerry Beckley and Bill Mumy)
Hey Slim how long's it been
Five minutes maybe 10
Can't wait to see you again and again
First taste of this romance
Hell baby I almost danced
Caught myself close to believing
But every time is a brand new feeling
Lay me down in cool clear water
For a moment I've forgot her
Still I know where this is leading
Win, lose, which we choose
Won once and once refused
Already burning down the fuse
Don't wanna be building walls
Cause everything rising falls
It's darkness here the light's concealing
Love it seems is too revealing
Hidden in some secret place
Etched in lines around my face
The ghosts in here are all competing
Over one more song about love and leaving
Ummmmm
Down, down we all fall down
Down, down we all fall down
We all fall down, yeah we all fall down
Let's toast to new love blooming
It's all around and all consuming
It's a dream you're bound to follow
Til you find it's only hollow
I can hear the angels grieving
Over one more song about love and leaving
Ummmmm

America è un gruppo folk-rock anglo-americano formatosi a Londra nel 1970 da Gerry Beckley (multi-strumentista e voce), Dan Peek (voce e chitarra) e Dewey Bunnell (voce e chitarra). Il gruppo ha raggiunto la fama internazionale con il singolo "Horse with No Name", che ha scalato le classifiche di tutto il mondo. America è noto per un sound caratterizzato da melodie orecchiabili, armonie vocali raffinate e influenze folk e country. Tra i loro album più importanti ricordiamo "America" (1972), "Homecoming" (1974) e "Hearts" (1975). Il gruppo ha pubblicato una serie di successi negli anni '70, tra cui "A Horse with No Name", "Ventura Highway", "Sister Golden Hair" e "Tin Man". Dan Peek si è ritirato dal gruppo nel 1977 per motivi religiosi. America continua a esibirsi e registrare musica con Gerry Beckley e Dewey Bunnell.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
