"Daisy Jane" is a song written by Gerry Beckley of the group America which was introduced on the 1975 America album Hearts. Issued as that album's second single - following up the #1 hit "Sister Golden Hair", "Daisy Jane" reached #20 on the Billboard Hot 100 becoming the final Top 20 hit by the original three-member incarnation of America: on the Easy Listening chart the track reached #4. The song was a bigger Canadian hit, reaching #16 on the Pop singles chart and #2 on the Adult Contemporary chart.
The song's narrator indicates he's flying back to Memphis in hopes of reconnecting with the girl he left behind "to roam the city". Beckley, who wrote the song at his cottage in East Sussex, has stated: "There was no such person as Daisy Jane and I had never even been to Memphis"; he believes that the Nick Drake song "Hazey Jane" likely gave him [i.e. Beckley] the idea of writing a song entitled "Daisy Jane".
The opening bars and vocals of Janet Jackson's 1987 ballad "Let's Wait Awhile" bears a similarity to those of "Daisy Jane".

"America" is an American political advertisement released by the 2016 presidential campaign of Bernie Sanders. It premiered on January 21, 2016 via YouTube, and to air on television in Iowa and New Hampshire shortly before the Democratic Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primary.
The advertisement features "America," a song recorded by Simon & Garfunkel for their album Bookends (1968).
The ad starts with scenes of everyday American life over soft humming and gentle guitar strumming. As the line, "let us be lovers, we'll marry our fortunes together" plays in the background, a middle-aged couple dances at a small Bernie Sanders for President rally. Then Sanders is seen speaking to a few people in a backyard. As the ad continues, the crowds grow larger and more enthusiastic. A montage of many Sanders supporters appear, as the words "They've all come to look for America" flash on the screen. Sanders is then seen addressing a large outdoor gathering, interacting one-on-one with supporters, appearing before more energetic crowds, finally ending in a large auditorium filled to capacity with cheering people.

I've been waiting
Such a long time
Just trying to get through
And it's taking
All of my strength
2 keep me here away from u
It doesn't matter just how long it takes
Nothing changes when we're apart
It's just a little bit longer we've come this far
1 step caloser 2 heaven baby
Means 1 step closer 2 u
There'll b no more living without u, baby
I'm counting each minute till I'm back 2 u
1 step closer 2 heaven, baby
Hold on, hold on, hold on to my lovin'
I've been saving
Every little bit of my luv 4 u
I've been dreaming
Just 2 get by
So exciting, Fantasizing
It doesn't matter just how long it takes
Just 2 know we'll be back together
And this time it's 4eva
1 step closer 2 heaven, baby
Means 1 step closer 2 u
There'll b no more living without u, baby
I'm counting each minute till I'm back to you
1 step closer 2 heaven, baby
Hold on, hold on, hold on to my lovin'
It doesn't matter just how long it takes
Nothing changes when we're apart
It's just a little bit longer we've come this far
1 step closer 2 haeven, baby
Means 1 step closer 2 u
There'll b no more living without u, baby
I'm counting each minute till I'm back 2 u
1 step closer 2 heaven, baby
Means 1 step closer 2 u
There'll b no more living without u, baby
I'm counting each minute til I'm back 2 u
1 step closer heaven, baby
