“Ventura Highway” – America

[media=https://youtu.be/bq1k95uHgcY]
“Ventura Highway” is an evocative song that continues to resonate with people more than 50 years after its release.

America band member and songwriter Dewey Bunnell has noted its timeless quality. In 2000, he stated, “I really believe that 'Ventura Highway' has the most lasting power of all my songs. It's not just the words — the song and the track have a certain fresh, vibrant, optimistic quality that I can still respond to."

The music video posted here contains a clip I edited from a longer video filmed along the coastal highway (SR 1) in California’s Big Sur region. My objective was to create a video that captures the spirit of the song and is fun to watch.

I was just thinking about that band and how much I like many of their songs, due to another post. Several of their songs still resonate with me in some way.

@Piper I really like their music too. Most of it has stood the test of time, I think.

@Piper I lived in the desert when Horse With No Name came out, and every time I hear it, I think of that time and place.
