(Puerta)

Art beware. its all been done
There's nothing new under the sun
Yeah
What a waste of my time

So take heed of all new schemes
Just variations on old themes
Yeah
How could I be so blind?

It's sad when you've got it down to a pat thing
Sad thing is all you'll have
It's sad when you've got it down to some sure thing
Sure thing but it's old hat

Art beware. it's all been done
There's nothing new under the sun

(critic's chorus):
"Haven't we heard your song
Yeah Somewhere else before, son?
That was nice, good try son, but...
" What a waste of my time"

Ambrosia is a soft rock band from Los Angeles discovered in 1971 by Los Angeles Philharmonic conductor Zubin Mehta, who featured the group as part of an All-American Dream Concert (Pops concert). It took them another four years to get signed to a record contract.

Between 1975 and 1982, Ambrosia racked up five Grammy nominations, toured with Fleetwood Mac, Heart, and The Doobie Brothers, and scored five US top 40 hits including two top fives: “Biggest Part Of Me” and “How Much I Feel”.

The group split in 1982, but reunited in 1989 and has continued touring and releasing compilations of their old hits. In 2015, the group released a new single, “Hopes and Dreams”, which was featured in the Fox series The Sparrows.
