The slightly melancoly tender lyrics/melody were tailor made for Karen--love how it goes from tender to rock--great arrangement by brother Richard, once again. I LOVE the message of this song--yes, lets take care of the children and nature--god knows adults have screwed up the planet for those innocent ones.
I am from Pennsylvania myself (Harrisburg actually) and I don't think I could visit her grave, I would break down crying, Karen's music really speaks to me, its almost like I knew her. I wish she still was around, she was such a beautiful women inside and out. :)
It is a concert and Karen is only singing with her brother Richard. But there is a very tender and special movie where children appear and the song is this. Try to watch it. It is "Bless the beasts and the children". It is very beautiful, although it is so sad.
Yes, I saw a video since viewing this one that is just awfully sad... I have grandchildren that I am just heart-sick for as they will not know their innocence very long... with all of the devastation, crime and other dangers in this sick world we live in....
GOD Bless you Karen and Richard Carpenter......for bringing me some of my favorite memories and for ALL YOU BOTH HAVE GIVEN !! Will always be in my heart !! Kathleen believeanyway@yahoo
The magic of Karen, an amalgamation of The Perfect Voice with the perfect lyrics for her, and the magic 'of the time' cannot be replicated or fully expressed now. She is one of the fondest musical memories from the 1970's (and early 80's) for many of us. The band ABBA would be my number two. I wish this magic could be shared somehow with the children of today, during these very trying times.

@christopher242424 Yes, it's really a great movie, very sad too. You'll also hear Nadia's Theme in it.
