1. Ambrosia was a California, United States band formed by David Pack (guitars, vocals), Christopher North (keyboards), Burleigh Drummond (drums) and Joe Puerta (bass, vocals). On their self-titled LP in 1974, they blended quirky progressive rock with lush harmonies and scored hits with the offbeat song Nice, Nice, Very Nice and the ballad Holdin' on to Yesterday. Their subsequent albums focussed more and more on the pop ballads and less and less on the progressive elements, and while they had some success with singles, they called it quits after 1982's Road Island. Ambrosia re-formed in the late 90s and continue to tour and enterain their fans. A live CD Live at the Galaxy was released in 2002, and they are currently recording a new studio album that long time fans are hoping will be released in 2009.
2. Ambrosia was a Latvian hardcore punk band formed in Valmiera, Latvia in 2005.
The band has toured around Latvia and Estonia and became one of the best-known newcomers to the Latvian hardcore scene. Their music is also included on music compilation Latvian Hardcore Punk Volume 5.
Ambrosia split up in September 2011 and played one-off reunion show in July 2014.
Final lineup:
Andrejs Irbēns (Āres) - vocals;
Jānis Osis (Nuvo, Skyforger) - guitars, backing vocals (formerly vocals);
Rūdolfs Rūtenbergs - guitars;

Ambrosia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the memories inside
And it won't take more than you can give
Just to find a way to live
And as soon as you can look around
There's a new love to be found
The lyrics of Ambrosia's song "And..." convey a message of hope, urging listeners to keep moving forward in the face of heartbreak and pain. The opening line, "But if you can want love, you can hide," suggests that love has the power to heal and protect us from the pain of our past. By hiding our painful memories within that love, we can find the strength to keep going and live a fulfilling life.
The second line, "All the memories inside," speaks to the idea that it's important to acknowledge and confront our past traumas, instead of bottling them up and letting them fester. However, the following line, "And it won't take more than you can give," suggests that we shouldn't let our past hold us back or consume us completely. It's possible to find a balance between honoring our past experiences and moving forward to create new ones.
The final lines, "Just to find a way to live / And as soon as you can look around / There's a new love to be found," emphasize the importance of perseverance and optimism. Despite the hardships we may face, there is always the possibility of finding new love and joy in life.
Line by Line Meaning
But if you can want love, you can hide
If you are capable of desiring affection, you can also conceal your innermost feelings.
All the memories inside
All the thoughts that lie within.
And it won't take more than you can give
It won't require more from you than what you're capable of offering.
Just to find a way to live
Simply to discover a means of surviving.
And as soon as you can look around
As soon as you're able to observe your surroundings,
There's a new love to be found
There's a fresh opportunity for affection awaiting your attention.

Benoit Vanhees I definitely hear you. But it seems like a pretty obvious devolution to me....but they remained experts at what they did.
It seems obvious that this is amazing...while "How Much Much I Feel" is simply formulaic pop.
I always liked Yes--even 'Owner of a Lonely Heart'! Hella catchy! (I was always underwhelmed by The Buggles..but that's a different conversation.)
A good example from ancient times is Spandau Ballet. They're known for very smarmy Caucasian soul music....whereas they BEGAN as a wonderfully inventive New Romantic/Adam Ant kinda thing. Then everything changed with "True."
Don't get me wrong. I will totally follow some bands throughout their changes. XTC has gone through several different sounds but I eventually always love them.

Really never understood why this album was pretty much ignored, it's still a favorite.
Dave Thompson
Truly an inspired band of great musicians in one of the greatest decades in Music.

Joe Puerto's bass work has always inspired me. Understated, non-conventional chords with a dose of complexity. Just a fantastic band!

There is a Moog Taurus at work also...
Husky Nation
One of the more relevant bands of our time - for those of us who took the time to really listen - this music transcends and will forever be the biggest part of me!

A stunning album which I originally bought as an LP from a tiny, dark little record shop in Burnley, Lancashire in the early 70's. Have loved the whole LP ever since and almost played it to destruction until the CD release came along. Even now, 40 years later, it's still one of my favourites. A superbly inventive and fascinating album.

i first heard this about 2 months ago on Soma FM's Left Coast 70's radio and it immediately blew me away - how have i never heard this before?!
they way it changes from one song to another is excellent - can't stop playing it now!

That Left Coast 70s station also brought me to Ambrosia but not to this song, or even this album. I don’t own any of their albums but that is an oversight.

They're first two albums were awesome, and then they went top 40.

@Baby Jessica's Cheekbones In hindsight even their commercial stuff isn't so bad.
