    This band is so underrated, in my opinion. Most people only know "A Horse With No Name".

    This is one of my favorite bands and one of my favorite songs by them... It reminds me of my dad, (born in 1952).....





    >> He had a mild stroke, (unbeknownst to him) and it did something to his mind where he became extremely open and vulnerable one night...

    He told me his story for the first time from start to finish. He also explained the way the streets worked and he gave me some very insightful information about different things from politics to spiritual beliefs.

    He is still alive but he's one stroke away from leaving this Earth....Anyways, this song really makes me sad not only because I know my dad is on his way out....but also because it touches on a portion of our humanity I feel has now gone out of the window.

    Songs back then seemed to have more mainstream bands that had depth to them and actual said something in the lyrics. I hope this doesn't come across as too dramatic...

    If anyone knows any other bands that make music along these lines, please give recommendations.
