Ойын-сауық
" How Much I Feel" is a song by the American soft rock band Ambrosia. It was released in 1978 as a single from their third studio album, "Life Beyond L.A." The song was written by band member David Pack, who also provided lead vocals for the track.
"How Much I Feel" is a ballad that became one of Ambrosia's biggest hits, reaching No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States.

Get rid of the third wheel there. Come on Brothers, he’s in the younger generation. If you can’t feel this song whether it’s to slow or smooth you need to expand your vision to our generation of music. We group up in the best generation of music. Keep up the good reactions.

Younger generation doesn't understand that not everything is a violent hip hop beat or dance music. Songs were longer in the late 60s/70s cuz people were trippin. Songs were longer in the late 70s/80s cuz there was more appreciation of the instrumental aspects of music. Sorry if you don't get it. That is why so much is so "soul-less" these days. The music TODAY HAS SO MUCH LESS HUMANITY.

This song did played on r&b radio stations across the country. Ambrosia is the definition of blue-eyed soul indeed. The song did peaked at the #3 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart during the summer of 1978.

Yes "Blue -eyed Soul " is an acceptable description. What is NOT is that friken "yacht rock" bullsh8t. I HATE THAT PHRASE. MADE UP BY SOME DUMB MILLENIAL WHO HAS NO APPRECIATION FOR THE INTRICATE SOPHISTICATED MUSIC OF "STEELY DAN'. HOW DARE THEY. DRIVES ME NUTS.
A great soft rock group from the '70s was, America. They're closer to The Doobie Brothers in style than they are to Ambrosia. But they've got their own wonderful, distinct sound. For your first song by, America, I suggest their 1972 hit, *"Ventura Highway",* you fellas will love it! (Use the studio version from the original album, NOT the crappy re-mastered version.)

David Pack sure can write beautiful songs with such meaningful lyrics. There’s nothing more attractive than a man who is not afraid of showing his feelings and being vulnerable. I love this band and i was so lucky to have grown up with the best music. Thanks for sharing.

They definitely have a style and are silky smooth. Also, Van Morrison is a must. Into the Mystic and Moondance should make you all happy.

I’m 54 years old I’m from Miami and this is what we call yacht rock. yacht rock was always a big deal back in the day until this day. I’m crazy about this music my daughter is 15 years old and she knows all of these songs my heart. This is a beautiful song and an amazing band.
My generation didn’t fuss over the words in a song, they weren’t real life, just good rhythm.👍🎵🎸🥁🎹🎸🎵💜💜💜
I loved how CoreyRoy was enjoying this. Great song.
I still get chills hearing this song.
Smash hit for me. That voice. Absolutely perfect.
I love Ambrosia, we were so very spoiled with awesome music, we didn't even know it. How on earth could you want him gone?? "Biggest Part of Me" is another great one.
This was my 🎵 song
Y'all have got to check out "I Just Can't Let Go" by David Pack from Ambrosia, Michael McDonald and James Ingram. Absolute banger!

Firefall, Seals and Crofts, Kenny Loggins, Michael McDonald, Hall and Oates, America, Eagles, Bread, Poco, Toto...you can't go wrong with any of these bands/artists if you're looking for easy listening and pretty ballads.
SO SMOOOOOOOTH....and, the HARMONIES!!! Just SO GOOD! GREAT PICK, GUYS!! HUGS!! ❤❤❤❤❤
This song came out as I was starting my Junior year in high school the music in the 70's was the best I love the baseline in this song
We let go, but sometimes we wonder what could of been, or what their life is like now ....but we usually know that there was some factor that didnt work and why we are where we r now...but u will always still care...
I know a song that'll wake your butt up. Baby Love by the band Mother's Finest. 😆 It's from their album Another Mother Further. The whole album is great. One time the CD got stuck in my car player and stayed in there over a month before it came out, and I didn't care, I just kept playing it anyway. Then I listened to it again a few days later.

Having grown up in the 70s, this song is on the soundtrack of my life. It played on the radio all the time and brings back poignant memories when I hear it. So beautifully written, I think a lot of people have that one person that their heart goes back to sometimes.
Perfection!!
Glad you liked it, Fabulous

Thank you for this! We are trying to bridge the musical gap!
I’m old enough to remember this song playing on the radio when it first came out. I was like 11-12 and beginning that transitional stage where music was beginning to affect me in a different kind of way and I loved Ambrosia’s sound. It’s funny that I don’t remember the ending either, though I can now see how that would be true for some people. True and tragically sad IMO. You’re The biggest Part of Me that was released a couple of years later was by far my favorite song by them. You guys have probably already reviewed it but, if not, I highly suggest checking it out ❤
this is my favourite ambrosia song so i'm gonna recommend something else in the same '70s pop ballad vein: "wildflower" - skylark "i love you" - climax blues band "summer breeze" - seals and crofts "sara smile" - hall and oates and though it's not in the same lane, i highly recommend "blinded by the light" by manfred manns earth band. all these songs are BANGERS! thanks, guys!

Corey perspective on the lyrics💯💯. If you’ve been in love before’ like deeply in love and it didn’t work out for whatever reason, I feel it’s it normal to think about that person. And base on your current relationship one might think, that was the love that got away❤
You have to check out "Holding on to yesterday" by Ambrosia
Got one like that - def better off having met and been with her for 4 yrs then never having had that experience - even though it's still sometimes to haunting past to remember and miss it.
If you listen to the lyrics you realize it' about messed up LOVE.
