[media=https://youtu.be/L6_oWs_T8AI] “(I’ve Been) Searchin’ So Long” is a song about self-discovery and finding meaning in life. It was written by Chicago band member James Pankow and was a track on the Chicago VII album. The song was released as a single in Feb. 1974.
Both the song and the album were successful. “(I’ve Been) Searchin’ So Long” made it to #9 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and #8 on the US Adult Contemporary chart. The album did even better, reaching #1 on the US Billboard 200 albums chart.
“(I’ve Been) Searchin’ So Long” starts as a gentle soft-rock ballad and gradually builds to a powerful and exhilarating finish. The masterful way this is done makes the song one of my favorites by Chicago.
Another iconic band. They are still singing too, I think. Thank you for sharing your musical postings. Always enjoy them. Like all their songs especially You're My Inspiration, If You Leave Me Now, and Saturday in the Park.
@PoetryNEmotion Yes. Definitely an iconic band. Still performing, and some of the original members are still in the band. I like pretty much everything I've heard by them.
Thank you for your comments. Much appreciated, as always.
