We played this at my husband’s funeral in 2015, Earth Cried, Heaven Smiled. 😓

One of the most beautiful guitar melodies ever.

[chriswebb]

absolutely stunning and flawless theres a reason why carlos is one of the greatest guitarists in the world. whos with me on this

I'm listening 🎶 in 2024, who else enjoys Santana? He's truly a legend 👏...I never get tired of listening to Santana and his incredible music since the 70's.

[howardbeale]

I was at this concert. Unforgettable. Im 67 now so that was 47 years ago. Real music back then

[Eyemallfunkedup]

This is 40 years old. High speed computers, drum machines, digital effects, and sample mixing will never be able to replace the human heart. PEACE

[marieseltz]

THE music that ensured every Quinceañera was a success back in the late 70’s and early 80’s. It hits the heart hard! ❤

[milowagon]

Carlos is a master of the volume control. The guitar swells and sings at his will. He is singing through his instrument. A very spiritual player. Breathtaking beauty.

[cathystruska]

How many people are still listening to this incredible guitarist? I've seen Santana 3 times playing in Chicago, Illinois and he was amazing 👏. I grew up with Santana since the 70's and now it's 2024. Santana is Epic! His name and his music 🎶 🎵 will live on. Carlos Santana is amazing 👏 😍 .

Esto es una conversación entre dos enamorados: Santana y su guitarra.

[gebremenfeskidus]

Our first born son was conceived to this song. A few years later I read an interview where Carlos said that he'd received hundreds of letters from people telling him the same thing. Mystical things. The power of music to bring forth Life!

In1976 I was 16 with friends at there house when he puts this album on, none of us had heard it yet, we just sat there, no one said a word, I still remember that moment clearly. Thanks for memory.

[williamheinrich]

One of the all-time best guitarists in the world. Carlos can make it cry and scream like nobody else.

[RonaldSolorzano-eh]

I played Europa for a friend's wedding dance. I was 17. It was 1977. They turned the lights down ..I was dressed all in white. Someone said they thought I was Carlos! It was the first time I ever performed in public. Memorable, to say the least. Had the distinct pleasure of meeting him once. Thanks to Carlos, Tom Coster, and Armando Peraza.

[cathystruska]

I agree that he's singing through his guitar 🎸 😄 Carlos Santana is one of the greatest musicians of all time. 😊 It's as if he's making love to his guitar 🎸. He's in key and his melody is perfect. I grew up on listening to Santana and saw him 3 times, once at the Chicago stadium, the others at the Auditorium and once at Soldiers Field in Chicago, Illinois. They were breathtaking each time. Those songs he played in the 80's are classics today. Carlos Santana is Epic. He's a legend.

[anthonyknights]

Those sound come from another place deep in the soul far beyond where the mind can reach.

[gen_x_diva]

When I heard this song years ago for the first time I cried. No other song other that worship and gospel music has touched in this way.

[federicospoto]

he does not need to sing because he makes the guitar sing

[andreamenegazzi]

You can tell me that in the world there are better technical guitarists but Santana is Pure Passion, Pure Sound, Pure Soul like no other ...
