next up, Chuck Mangione, only here on KBAY, the Bay Areas soft rock station

I could listen to Santana all day...I think I just did.

Glad to know I'm not the only one who heard "Fly Me to the Moon" in this.

weird that this was maybe cool back in the day and now it's just pretty bad .... i love Santana but this is pure "smooth jazz" almost ,,, but then .. if this is the original ... then i respect ..

OScar

A bit like "Fly me to the Moon", punctuated by a Latin interlude... Thank God no cheesy Rock-boy or RnB vocals on this track though!

I remember when I danced to this years ago and was shy and beginning to love for the first time.

Knew this was Santana w/o even looking at the screen. Whether or not you like the song, his tone and style are immediately recognizable.

Think what ya want , likely the last Santana Cd I'll ever buy. Bought many before , but none since

Why, it's a perfectly cromulent word, and describes the track very well. Most of Santana's music, actually.

very possibly the best rock and roll album ever. only competition is sargent peppers.

it's called a ballad -- it's supposed to be mellow.

If you haven't played this song either during or after sex, you really can't understand it.

guitars at his best. he did a private show in marin one night, he was electrofying...

This is music that they play in department stores.

Borderline insulting...

Just one of many boring santana tunes... - his old stuff was nice, but with the years he became very monotonous

elevator music. carlos has gotten a little too mellow with age, methinks.

Reminds me of "Close Your Eyes" - the melodramatic Buffy & Angel love theme from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". Not necessarily a bad thing, mind you - I'm a big Buffy fan - but "Close Your Eyes" isn't on my list of favorite Buffy tunes.

Listen to his guitar tone!

WAIT A MINUTE!!!
B&R are probably from SoCal-
thus explaining the lean toward Latin music...
...or maybe not, I could just be full of taquitos.

Yup, that is what I thought too after hearing a few seconds of this song as well. "Wait, isn't this..."

Even Google lets me down on this one :-k Well, if one thing, this word doesn't sound supernatural to me.

I do dig Santana, but this is not one of my favorites. Nice playing, but overall it's just a bit too "easy-listening" for me. :-({|=

I add to the comments...a guitar full of soul and inspiration... introspection and latin ancient roots

I completely agree with you. I also think Mark Knopfler can really make a guitar sing.

I agree with Spieler. I don't like any Santana I have heard yet. This is different from most, but not therefore superior at all. I guess I don't like repetitive and soporificizing music. (Yes, I coined one word.)

One of my favorite guitarists. Others may have better technical chops, but nobody can make his axe talk like Carlos. What he does he does so well...

Seconded. That is one of my favorites for both passive and active listening. Simply a beautiful album.
