    When I was a 9 year old kid, my folks drove to Florida to take me to Disney World. I remember this song playing during the 3 day journey and my mum and I singing along to it. I'm now 54 and just bought a house in Florida this past June, moved halfway down the coast and am still singing along to this. Cheers mum and dad...until we meet again soon. Thanks for all you did for me. Love you both.

    America came to a performance at my high school in Los Angeles, and me and 2 other friends of mine were selected from the guitar class to perform this song with them. I remember the 3 of us standing there on stage with big grins on our faces as we strummed along. The gave us cables to plug in our guitars, but they were not connected to anything on the other ends 😆 Although I wasn't too struck with the song in the beginning, because of the experience of performing with the band and my friends, it now always brings up a warm feeling and a grin to my face. Thanks for the oppertunity America.

    America’s first single, “A Horse With No Name,” reached the #1 spot in 1972. In 1975, they scored another #1 with “Sister Golden Hair,” another enigmatic track full of harmony. It was penned and performed by Gerry Buckley, who says that it was based on a composite of different girls. The piece starts with this line : “Well, I tried to make it Sunday, but I got so damn depressed” Beckley stated : “I’d like to point out that you can have a #1 record with a line that enters that darkly. That’s kind of my thing : I try to mix these emotions and I think ‘Sister’ was a great example. Pretty good message in there. JOHN LENNON famously said, ‘WE DON’T KNOW WHAT THESE SONGS ARE ABOUT TILL PEOPLE TELL US.’ So all our songs, including ‘Horse,’ are open to interpretation. But ‘Sister’ was a relationship song and there is a variety of elements. We always combine them as songwriters so that they’re not verbatim, word for word, for a particular circumstance. Poetic license we call it.” George Martin, the fifth Beatle, produced “Sister Golden Hair” and the rest of the “Hearts” album (1975). It was Martin’s 20th US #1 as a producer, and his first one away from The Beatles‼️ 💛🎵💛

    Easily a melodic masterpiece that effortlessly captures the essence of longing and self-discovery. The lyrics evoke a longing for connection and a search for identity-a feeling all of us can relate to. The song's protagonist is in search of a love that feels genuine, authentic, and true-a love that will stand the test of time. To me, it's a quest for a connection that goes beyond the superficial, a desire to find that golden thread of understanding and kinship with another soul. As it plays on, it carries an irresistible blend of wistfulness and hopefulness. The gentle strumming of the acoustic guitar, the warm harmonies, and the infectious melody all come together to create a musical landscape that mirrors the emotions expressed in the lyrics. There's a certain vulnerability in the way the song is delivered, a vulnerability that resonates with me on a profound level. To me, "Sister Golden Hair" is a reminder of the universal longing we all share-to find someone who truly understands us, to feel a sense of belonging, and to discover our own place in the world. It speaks to the journey of self-discovery and the pursuit of authentic connections that define our lives. It captures the bittersweet nature of searching for love, knowing that it may come with its own challenges and uncertainties. Listening to "Sister Golden Hair" is like taking a step back in time, enveloped in a warm embrace of nostalgia. It reminds me of the complexities of human relationships, the joy of self-discovery, and the emotional rollercoaster that often accompanies our quest for love and understanding. For me, "Sister Golden Hair" is a beautifully crafted song that speaks to the deepest corners of our hearts. It serves as a gentle reminder that the journey of finding ourselves and meaningful connections is an ongoing one. It's a song that continues to resonate with me, capturing the timeless essence of human emotions and reminding me of the beauty and complexities of life. Defintely worth being on my playlist! 🙂

Hadn't heard in in years. Suddenly, I'm pulled back in time but with the Wisdom of age & experience. Wow. Memories of a love long past & also happy with who am with now. Great masterpiece tune.

Well, I tried to fake it I don't mind sayin', I just can't make it Well, I keep on thinkin' 'bout you Sister Golden Hair surprise And I just can't live without you Can't you see it in my eyes? Now I've been one poor correspondent And I've been too, too hard to find But it doesn't mean you ain't been on my mind Will you meet me in the middle? Will you meet me in the air? Will you love me just a little? Just enough to show you care? Well, I tried to fake it I don't mind sayin', I just can't make it

Cause that’s when it’s really really good. I smile and also frown when I think of those days. That version of me wouldn’t have made it in adult life and everyone has to accept the fact that life happens. Hope everyone gets good memories from this song like I do

    I fell In love with a girl when this song was a hit, I used to see her out and about and when I saw her out late at night in the bar we used to hang out at, I would play 5his song for her on the jukebox over and over. She had some other guy who was always around. I had another woman. But we had a deep connection nonetheless, One might, at her suggestion, we slept together and had a beautiful experience, but it never grew because we were with other people. She got married, had children, and a life in another world. I got married and had a son. We’re old now. But I still think about her every time I hear this song....and I listen to this song a lot. This one got away from me. This song connects me to that felling from that time and place. America was never the same after Dan Peek left.. But still, a great song by Gerry Beckley. What a great collaboration of musical talent.

I texted her the other night, apologizing for being one poor correspondent and too too hard to find, but it didn't mean she ain't been on my mind.
