america's self-titled debut album was released initially in europe, without "a horse with no name", and achieved only moderate success. originally called "desert song", "horse" was written while the band was staying at the home studio of musician arthur brown, near puddletown, dorset. the first two demos were recorded there, by jeff dexter and dennis elliott, and were intended to capture the feel of the hot, dry desert that had been depicted at the studio from a salvador dalí painting, and the strange horse that had ridden out of an m.c. escher picture. writer dewey bunnell also says he remembered his childhood travels through the arizona and new mexico desert when his family lived at vandenberg air force base. bunnell has explained that "a horse with no name" was "a metaphor for a vehicle to get away from life's confusion into a quiet, peaceful place".
