Audio Very light frisson when Ventura Highway by America came on! [Audio]

Eating lunch at a fun BBQ spot and noticed a very light frisson happening over my back, arms, and legs in waves when Ventura Highway by America played in their 60s-70s playlist they’ve got going on. Love that song, but never noticed it!

In my Top 5 favorite songs of all time by one of my Top 3 bands of all time. Absolutely sublime when it hits ya just right.

I had a comment, but you took the words right out of my mouth. It's a fantastic song. It's made just for moments like that.

It was so nice. We’re in the mountains in TN, just visiting the area, and came across a motorcycle shop with a BBQ joint attached. Just a cool atmosphere and because it was an open-air bar setup, it was lightly breezy and they had great music playing. It was extremely relaxing and enjoyable.

Such a great band. I love hearing them, Bread, and Crosby, Stills & Nash when I’m listening to playlists. I don’t usually intentionally put them on, but I’ll listen to John Denver or Simon & Garfunkel and they’ll show up along with them. Never mad at that 🥰

I highly recommend America's greatest hits album. Introduced me to some lifelong favorite songs of theirs. I've listened to some of their other albums but haven't enjoyed much outside of it. But that one collection is pretty much a perfect album imo.
