Welcome to my channel! This is a music reaction channel. For the longest time, I’ve loved creating content on the internet. I started off with a gaming channel right here on YouTube, which eventually turned into a Twitch gaming channel, but as time has gone on I’ve evolved into doing other things on YouTube. For years now I’ve wanted to create a music channel on YouTube, and recently just figured “why not?”, so it’s time to give this a go! Give me any suggestion you have for music reactions, and I will do my best to get around to them. As music has fallen further out of my life, I figured this would be a great time to get reintroduced to music.
If you enjoy this video and my reactions make sure you subscribe to the channel, like the video and comment down below which video you would like to see me react to next.

Love The Acoustic Guitar Work and Bass. Pretty sure there's a 12 string Acoustic. A little lesser known song which is good is "Muskrat Love"
🥸
New sub! Yea, these dudes were the real deal, no auto tuned BS! Peace from NC brother
Another great one!Nice catch Shawn about his voice sounding like Neil or maybe even CSN?
Awesome! Great reaction! You would love their song “Donkey Jaw!” 😀
Great song, definitely one of their BEST
I think you will like Donkey Jaw as well.
That lush 3-part harmony. Such a great group.
Did you check the year this came out? Way ahead of its time. Fantastic jam for sure.
california revisited
I like just about anything by America but this is my favorite.
Donkey Jaw
Some of their songs that don't seem to get a lot of recommendations, but I think are in their best include: Seasons, Saturn Nights (Hal Blaine kills it on drums), Submarine Ladies, Woman Tonight, Glad to See You, Who Loves You, and there are so many more.
An interesting point, Shawn, is that this song is off their debut album. They were 19- and 20-year-olds when they recorded it.
And you mentioned their brief career. On the contrary, the last I knew, the two guys on the left on the album cover are still touring as "America." And they have released more music as a duo.
One great illustration of this you may wish to check out is "Chasing the Rainbow."
I love your pure joy of America! You haven't stopped smiling, and that keeps me smiling! Yes, the sandman is the guy that sprinkles sand over your eyes to make you sleepy! Keep up the great reactions Shawn!
Very different from the rest of their songs. Great choice!
There’s a lot more hits for you to do, but if you get into their deep cuts, check out “She’s A Liar”.
This is a Vietnam song.
"One of the things that I vividly remember hearing one guy say is that he hardly ever slept in Vietnam–he was afraid to go to sleep. So there's the line, 'You've been running from the man who goes by the name of the Sandman'–you don't want to go to sleep because you might be killed. I thought, What a lousy way to live."
America
How cool was it to hook up with your friends in an American Military High School overseas and become a famous band with numerous hits? It's an American Dream come true story.
Thanks for playing the AMERICA music and making us all smile. Have a good day, Shawn.
You want to hear a beautiful song by these guys, same album? Never Found the Time.
One of their best songs. America's whole debut album is great. Multiple guitars and voices harmonizing. The two remaining living band members are still touring with some excellent backup musicians, and despite their age still sound fantastic. If you can see them in concert definitely take advantage of the opportunity.
I saw them in Hawaii in 1981, they were rocking.
On that album they had a song that our band plays.
The song is Hang over from the album Alibi.
