Right Back To Me
America · The Very Best Of America [1990]
Whoever I've known they sent it back to me
I know the night will be all right
As long as your love keeps coming
Right back to me, right back to me
For all to see that our love is true
I put on a show, it's very clear to me
And when I am low I feel you're near to me
I know the night will be all right
As long as your love keeps coming
Right back to me, right back to me
For all to see that our love is true
I recall some years ago, when I truly was alone
Now at last all that is past
Now I'm never on my own.
I know my light will be shining bright
As long as your love keeps coming
Right back to me, right back to me
for all to see that our love is true...
Right Back To Me
Released on America's 1990 greatest hits compilation, "Right Back To Me" stands as a quintessential example of the band's late-career resurgence. The track features the signature blend of jangly guitars and soaring harmonies that defined the group's sound throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Written by the band's primary songwriters, the song captures the emotional vulnerability and melodic sophistication characteristic of their work during this era. It serves as a testament to America's enduring ability to craft memorable pop-rock anthems that resonate across decades, showcasing their mastery of arrangement and vocal delivery. The recording remains a staple of their discography, often cited alongside hits like "All My Life" and "Lonely People" as key representations of their musical legacy.
