I was just about set to say that you forgot to include images of the NX-01 in your video... but then about half way through she made an appearence. The Carpenters are by far my favorite group ever... and Star Trek (especially ST: ENT and TNG) is my all time favorite TV show.. However I would have liked to see a few clips of Captain Archer and Crew and possibly Picard and Crew too.. Otherwise very well done!!!
my sister had this on a LP it wasn't a hit but i used to listen to it over and over with headphones on i'm so surprised that so many other people know this song. but then again as good as she is maybe i'm not lol.
This song greatly inspired me when I first heard it years ago, it still does now, and it will for the rest of my life, as I work on inspiring the whole world to be happy, healthy and successful with my own inspirational pop songs. I have created the world's most inspirational website, which you can get to via my YouTube channel.
when and if contact is ever made with aliens.. this superb song will be re-recorded by the music stars of the future ....and when and if it is re-recorded ....i hope they include karens vocal....fantastic song !!!
Gee, Karen and Richard, How many times in 1977, did you both see CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND? It sounds like DOZENS. I'll tell y'all, THIS was unexpected from The Carpenters; wouldn't y'all agree?
It's great to be human. I myself am willing to meet any non-Earth race, be they hostile or benevolent - even gay. Life is bigger than Gordon Morrice, therefore... brinf what is BIGGER...
This is really creative. Combining 2 things I like a lot. I've always wondered what this song is about. Did the Carpenter's have a Close Encounter they want to share?
I remember myself at 7 years old sitting in my room listening to this song and reading the album cover. Aside from their Christmas album this was their greatest song.
Karen's voice is so good, she can make a mediocre song like this listenable! After Star Wars in 77, everything was science-fictioney, even the Carpenters. This song was written by a "secret" group of Canadian studio musicians, but Karen takes it to a new level.
A dear being shared this on my new friend Neil's fb wall. This is truly a fantabulous vid. Carpenters were always on of my top 5 fave's; I miss Karen singing soo; These gems left for humanity are priceliess. Music is everything; we are everyting. With disclosure being pushed right now in our timeline; how appropriate for this Priceless gem to surface. NO accidents. Mr Spock (Love those pointy ears) ;-) Enjoy and share this liitle bit of magic. <3<3<3 XXXOOO
I'm sorry for posting so much. but I'd say a Hella Lot more! believe me..
It truthfully sent shivers down my spine.
She was such an incredible woman. she truly embodied The Spirit and Beauty of everthing good in our world. through her music, an invisible but effective impact has taken place.May she Always continue to Inspire through her simple, yet elegant message. of Hope and of Peace!
"Goodbye dear Karen. May your wings flit again someday. for you truly were an angel in disguise"
I have never felt so much joy and sorrow for someone that I have for Karen Carpenter. her tragedy, her angelic voice and profoundly humble nature along with pure beauty lives on still to this day, I wish with all my heart that I was alive in this era. such an Amazing Woman. Simply Amazin!!
It's like she plucked the very ethereal fabric from heaven itself. and transplanted it so delicately and lovingly into this awe-inspiring peace,
.. I absolutely LOVE the 70's music. and The Carpenters were Ace! if Karen (rest her soul) was still alive, I Know She'd be running circles round these so called "Artists" today!
She was The perfect embodiment of a beautiful Songstress cross Angel. she really had that certain unmistakable vibe, and persona. she was and still is today, unreplacable and totes Original .If I could just bottle up the sheer magic she exuberates here so utterly Perfect. I'd treasure it for a lifetime!..

If i work hard enough on the physics and a way to contact these others, they can take me back in time and we can bring her back before its too late. Maybe they have the ability to cure such a thing. Karren has the voice of an Angel. If your watching Kaz, laters. ;)
I clicked onto this link laughing cynically that some idiot misquoted the title of the song........now I feel a prize idiot having seen it. As a lifelong fan of both Trek and Richard and Karen this is simply a treat. Thank you so much...this is going to the top of my favourites list
terrivel perda para todos nós, que Deus tenha reservado um lugar especial para voce querida (karen) espero um dia te encontrar com ele será um dia inesquecivel
@antoniustom This song still gives me the goosebumps, love the crescendo at the end with the big orchestra sound. It's in the same league as Space Odyssey by Bowie and Rocket Man by Elton.
When I was very young...around age 4 my mother would play this song for me before I went to bed and sometimes I would cry unless she played it over and over again. Now fast forward to 2010 and my mother passed away of cancer a few years ago at age 59. Listening to this song and watching the video somehow makes me feel a little bit closer to her when I am having a rough day. It is amazing how music can transport us to another time and place where things were much simpler....luv U Mom.
Recently I contacted a childhood friend that I hadn't seen since 1978 when I was 12 and he was 9. Several times in our youth we created a fort in his room that we called "The Jazz Spacecraft". That was the first thing he said to me after more than 32 years. Within hours he found this video and shared it with me. We were both overwhelmed with joy!!! Our upcoming reunion be a continuing mission to seek out new life, explore strange new worlds, and go where no man has gone before!!!
I loved this song when I was a kid and Star Trek was always my favorite show.
This is a cool video. It would have been even cooler if you had used only the 1966 Star Trek footage, especially the original Enterprise ship. The Next Generation ship takes away from the video and doesn't seem to fit in as well.
Would love to see this video with ALL 1966 Star Trek footage.
I never liked this song. I thought it was too bizarre - especially from the Carpenters! However, 30+ years later I am amazed. Someone was ahead of their time back then and for them to choose to sing this... How appropriate at this time for this to be circulating again.
This is a good music video, if you realize the origins of the Star Trek from from the Great Depression and World War Two where only 1 in 10 homes had electric power, and fewer had telephone, then you realize that Start Trek was the ultimate adventure and very popular with the new youth found in college. Good stuff.
We must stand on our own two feet. But, the ground is shifting beneath us, the wind is picking up, others need our help to stand, some are trying to knock us down, and our legs get wobbly and eventually fail completely with age.
Interestingly, Capt. Kirk and Karen had a prior connection. A young Bill Shatner, along with John Wayne and Zsa Zsa Gabor, were the judges who chose the "Dick Carpenter Trio" for the first prize on the All American College Show, an early American Idol-type TV talent contest. They had real celebrity panels back then! Wayne was so impressed with Karen he invited her to audition for the ingenue part in "True Grit." She didn't get the part -- thank goodness for music lovers.
first heard this at the end of Brian Coxs wondors of the solar system tv series was amazing show and this made it a really uplifting ending amazing song and sound from the carpenters
This is beyond fabulous! I loved this song as a kid (even though I didn't understand what it was really about.) This pairing with Star Trek is genius. Great job!
Imagine if the aliens DID come asking to be taken to our leader,so they are taken to the White House to meet with the President... ALIEN:"I don't understand...I thought your leader was a beautifull dark haired earthling female with an incredible singing voice?" THE PRESIDENT "Oh,yeah...about that...."
we are they only ones who can save ourselves. Stop looking for answers outside of yourselfs. Man has created this mess by allowing Psychopathic individuals to rule us. Start taking control of your life and stop relying on big Daddy to come and save you. Cause Big daddy is only out for his twisted sick greed.
when was youngish,like about 16,i thought the song was called calling octupuss haha,just listen to it when u are a wee bit drunk or infact very drunk.great song tho klaatu from canada did much better original version
If today's singers, (That's what they claim they are) had to measure up with Karen and a lot of others from this era to get a singing career, I think there would a few more pole dancers out there.
@karrie20x His finger were pressing the keys... but the scene has synchronization problems with the music even in the original videos. When I synchronized the piano, her lips and music were totally out of sync. So... I chanced it back again.
@waddoc In reality, the preference is subjective, for me this version is 70% better ... that prefer the orchestra instead of electronic noise and you can not compare the quality of the voices.
great memories of uk 70s childhood - star trek 1 and carps - beam me up Karen...

we are they only ones who can save ourselves. Stop looking for answers outside of yourselfs. Man has created this mess by allowing Psychopathic individuals to rule us. Start taking control of your life and stop relying on big Daddy to come and save you. Cause Big daddy is only out for his twisted sick greed.

If today's singers, (That's what they claim they are) had to measure up with Karen and a lot of others from this era to get a singing career, I think there would a few more pole dancers out there.

@karrie20x His finger were pressing the keys... but the scene has synchronization problems with the music even in the original videos. When I synchronized the piano, her lips and music were totally out of sync. So... I chanced it back again.

saw it again and realized it's their album cover sweeping past behind karen at 2:07--whatever the synth sound, it's very nice with the image

@waddoc In reality, the preference is subjective, for me this version is 70% better ... that prefer the orchestra instead of electronic noise and you can not compare the quality of the voices.

The Carpenters were an inspiration to me during my childhood; songs one could sing along to and enjoy. Karen is greatly missed by so many (RIP). x
