My grandma just told me this was her wedding song in 1974........god , even though I wasn't alive does the time go she said. She was only twenty. They've been married over thirty seven years.
This song was originally written for a Crocker National Bank commercial that aired in 1970. The commercial brought too much business to the bank, so they basically auctioned the commercial off to other banks. - Got that info from a documentary called "Art and Copy".
My Dad had this in his collection and used to play it when I was young. I remember awaking when I was 5 or 6 at around 9am on a Saturday morning and hearing this being played from downstairs. Brings back many happy memories :)
Wow, this song makes my heart beat with love for the scared bond called marriage. Perfect song to depict the beginnings of the journey of matrimony, when one is ready to hurdle the obstacles.. when we are ready to take on the world. Sigh, makes one wonder.
Frankly, I don´t give a damn about any movie and what this song means to the blind who enlace it with some stupid film. Go away...leave us alone. It is only a few who can fully appreciate the beauty in any art form. This is a timeless work of art.
I'm 14 and I love this song. My mum used to sing this song to me non stop when I was little, She sings it rarely now but she's sounds like Karen. I play this song, close my eyes, and it's my mum in the kitchen singing :') I love my mum <3
Wow. The video and song blew me away. This was my class song in 1973. Sorry to see the latest posts are so negative. They are ignorant and will never know the feeling of love, marriage, children and a future. Karen has bhe most beautiful voice in the world. Closest to an angel.
i listen to the Carpenters at the age before 6. and then somebody tell me that this music is for 60-y-o grandma hahaha. im16 and theyre in my heart. yesterday always once more
It shouldnt but this song makes me sad. Im 40 and feel like I missed my chance for true love. Got married at 20 to someone I was not truely in love with. Big mistake.
1408 was a horror/thriller in which a magazine writer would go and stay in supposedly "haunted" locales and write about their 'fear' rating. He stays in a hotel room 1408, and the 'room' progressively takes him through the levels of hell and fear. The song comes in when, each time the room brings him to a lower level of hell, the radio will activate and play the line "We've only just begun..." as if taunting him to the horrors he's about to experience.
All the songs are beautiful, but tragic if you closely listen to the soul and depth of her voice...you knew and everyone related and felt that too; yet she felt alone!
1408 would not have scared me at all when it started playing this song over and over I would have just kept singing it lol even in slow mode I love the Carpenters and no stupid room is going to ruin it for me.
all you silly silly young people on here calling this song scary because of some lame film! Grow up already! this song was made WAY BEFORE that film okay!! geez!!
@MiggleMuggle you said, "all you silly silly young people on here calling this song scary because of some lame film! Grow up already! this song was made WAY BEFORE that film okay!! geez!!"
My ex-wife's and mine first dance song. Even though we are divorced, it will always bring a tear to my eyes, thinking back almost 20 years of marriage. I would never want to go back and change anything, except to know that the "in love" feeling was disappearing over a period of 3 years, and wasn't able to save the marriage. We have two great kids and seem to be better as friends.
this is an evil, evil song... it's the last song you'll hear after you enter room 1408. plus, it's mentioned that it's Al and Peggy Bundy's wedding song. And Al mentioned that every time he hears this song, it freezes his inner gut solid. it truly is an evil song
lol.its funny how everyone keep saying 1408 ruined this song.lol.true 1408 was creepy it made me mad that i think about it with this song, but i can easily forget...cause this song is to inspiring. I love this song, it reminds me of my mother(who is still alive..just incase yall wondering)lol
this is a very relaxing song ,it makes me fly to the good times of my life and brings me very good memories of my teenager time...didn t watch the movie but still can remember how i turned up the volume always when this song was on radio..i love the lyric and everything about this song..
this song is very relaxing ,makes me fly to the deep of good memories that i have had in my life ever......i love how it songs.... the lyric and everything...never saw the film, but i still can remember how i turned up the volume when it was this song on radio..
