A video of two musicians doing a "Ventura Highway" cover on a beach close to sunset is becoming incredibly popular. Viewers from all over the world are sharing this video because of the beautiful music and the calming background.

"Ventura Highway" was released in 1972 by the band America. It was written by Dewey Bunnell for the band's Homecoming album. The song went to the eighth position on the Billboard Hot 100 for America and continued to stay on the charts for 12 weeks.

The soft light caused by the setting sun sets the scene, but that is only the start. The calmness of the water and the people's sounds in the background create an unrivaled ambiance.

Through the beautiful sounds from the guitars and the pitch-perfect voices, viewers also hear the innocent laughter of children playing on the sand. The soft breaking of the calm waves also adds to that soothing feeling brought forth by the song.

Viewers also enjoy watching people in the background enjoying the beach. One viewer commented on the video: 'There are so many things going on the video, and I love every single thing. The red dress lady, the couples, the kids shouting, the sounds of birds and waves. It is so wholesome.'

It is one of those videos that erase stress after a hard day. Sitting back with your favorite drink and enjoying the mixture of sights and sounds from this video is bound to wash away all worries.
