1. Ambrosia was… Read Full Bio ↴Ambrosia has been the name of at least five artists:
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.

Ambrosia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's one on one, just we two
I got somethin' like a heartbeat
Only you control
And I'm up as far as I can bear to go
This is the road so welcome home
Where nothing real abounds
There is no reason we must wait
Now...
Ain't nobody out there gonna disagree
We're all hiding something under lock 'n' key
You don't like it but you just can't stop
(But) keep your screws on tight
We'll undo all that's been done to you tonight
This is the place it all begins
There's no time to back down
There is no reason to pretend
Just take these pleasures now
Now...
The lyrics of Ambrosia's song "For Openers" describe a private and intimate moment between the singer and their lover.

Ain't nobody out there, just me and you
There is no one else around, it's just the two of us
It's one on one, just we two
We are alone and can focus on each other

Only you control
You have power over me
