"A Horse with No Name" is a song by the folk rock band America, written by Dewey Bunnell. It was the band's first and most successful single, released in late 1971. Dewey Bunnell wanted to capture the sensation of the hot, dry desert, as he remembered his childhood travels through the Arizona and New Mexico desert when his family lived at Vandenberg Air Force Base. Bunnell has explained that "A Horse with No Name" was "a metaphor for a vehicle to get away from life's confusion into a quiet, peaceful place".

In the midst of life's confusion, the solace and joy of old friends and beautiful memories always transport people to a state of peaceful bliss!!!

Feedback is much appreciated. Thank you.

This was probably my least favorite America song... I am quite a fan of America... but this song has grown on me...

I like your version of it... seems a tad quicker... not sure if that is true however... sometimes they just seem that way..

Loved this song. Had the 45 (probably liberated from my brother). This tune is well suited to your great voice.
