Back to the late 70’s again, with a band that had a few moderately successful hits, in a time when music was changing drastically. A.M. Radio was fading away, as punk and pop were moving to the forefront, but the harmonies of Ambrosia’s, How Much I Feel, stick with me to this day, every time I hear it. It’s a brooding song about wishing he still had what he lost, and even though he’s moved on, he still longs. I think we all have a “one that got away” scenario, through which we can identify. The bridge of the song is my absolute favorite, probably of any song at all. I am obsessed with the backing harmonies. They’re sweet, sad and beautiful. Then add the piano and bass. I can’t. Lead vocalist David Pack’s voice, so honeyed and expressive, against those delicious harmonies? I can listen to it on repeat, for hours. And I do. And I AM.
