I've been on a total Sister Golden Hair kick for the last couple of weeks. I didn't even know the name of the song until friday. I heard it in McDonalds on vacation and was amazed once again by how interesting the verse structure is. The verse sounds musically like a bridge to me, something about the chord progression in that key. It's so surprising and wonderful. I don't care about the lyrics, and the chorus is pretty standard.

(Jaq, any musician's comments on what's going on in my mind here?)

Now that I mention it, I like quite a few songs by America. I think I particularly like the melodies, the harmonies, and the vocal style.
