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.

Andrejs Irbēns (Āres) - vocals;

Ambrosia Lyrics

(Pack)
Well I gotta catch a plane
Check on out of L.A.
To somewhere I've never traveled
I'm on my way
Yeah, I'm ready
So, sit back in your chair
'Cause I'll be there soon

Don't get too unraveled
Just kick off your shoes
Keep your head on steady
You gave me the feelin'
And the love I need to go on
And I won't let you down
'Cause I'm ready right now
You gave me the feelin'
And the love I need to go on
And I can't wait no more
'Cause I'm ready
I was raised up in the middle
Of a house full of hell
And I'm lucky to be here
With something to tell
Glad those days are behind me
Oh, yes I am
Well, the odds are against me
But I've still got the fight
I've learned the hard way
Of doin' it right
Now I'm ready
I said you gave me the feelin'
And the love I need to go on
And I can't wait no more
'Cause I'm ready right now
You gave me the feelin'
And the love I need to go on
And I won't wait no more
'Cause I'm ready
Said I'm ready
Yeah, yeah
I said you gave me the feelin'
And the love I need to go on
And I can't wait no more
'Cause I'm ready right now
Said you gave me the feelin'
And the love I need to go on
And I won't wait no more
'Cause I'm ready right now now
You gave me the feelin'
And the love I need to go on
And I can't wait no more
'Cause I'm ready
Said I'm ready
Oh, right now
Mmm, said I'm ready (Ready)

Well, I'm ready (Well, I'm ready)
Yeah, I'm ready
