the most beautiful and puriest voice ever on earth and I grew up with this music, it touched my heart when one day a beautiful sparrow flew into my living room from the slide door to land on my first pink cherry blossoms, even the birds follow me as I feed them everyday with best seeds and also I have life time friends that always have been with me even arcoss the continent, thanks for this sentimental and powerful delivery, RIP and we still miss you a lot, hugs and kisses
I have two friends who have been flirting with each other since the beginning of time and everyone KNOWS they're going to start dating. So I like spamming them with over 9,000 different versions of this song.
@skygirllovesdreaming I cosider oldies Big Band 50s rock n roll 70s pop is the same era as Black Sabbath and Black Sabbath sounds as heavy today as it did in 1970.
i think this song is played on the movie ( i forgot the title ) where there's a grizzly bear named boo and an antelope named elliot, the part 2 of this movie, their voice actors sang this song :)
idiots! This is exactly what they do with glee! "OH GLEE TAKES THE SONGS! LOOK NOW!"
NO! Their complimenting the song and by bringing it up again, people will listen to it and the artists will be back on the charts you fags!
Same things with this song! I didn't know this song before The Simpsons! So now it's even MORE popular. Use your brain and contemplate BEFORE you comment people!
This tune is more appropriately featured in The Heartbreak Kid (1972), for those interested in seeing a decent media production. The Simpsons is arguably the most overrated, over-bloated television show of all time.
the simpsons didn't bring me here, nor did my boyfriend or nor did any of my friends. My mum did, every morning i used to hear her sing this song in the kitchen
The vox by Karen's brother seem to get louder. This song is pure heaven until those over- enunciated, wussy sounding backing vox drown out one of the best voices ever. Sorry to be so awful. On the upside, that little piano frill - I can play that over and over and over
Listening to the Carpenters always reminds me of my whole family. My uncles and my aunts, including my Dad, always sing songs by the Carpenters, the Beatles, and BeeGees, among other artists. :D
I think that it is very degrading that people equate this song with the Simpsons. This masterpiece was created long before the Simpsons was even thought of.
@swankman365 It's not that we equate this song with the Simpsons. That's just the first place we heard it. Whether that makes me an uncultured youth I don't know. I'm just happy I now know about and can appreciate and enjoy this beautiful song.
@swankman365 ARE YOU IDIOT... THE SIMPSONS INTRODUCE ME TO THIS SONG. WHICH HAPPENS TO BE MY FAVORITE NOW. WITHOUT SIMPSONS I NEVER KNEW OF THIS BEUTIFUL SONG.
@swankman365 Yeah, but the Simpsons is more of my time than the Carpenters are. I first heard this song as a little kid during the second season of Simpsons, when it played at Homer and Marge's prom in "The Way We Was." For that, I'll always associate this song with that show, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Plenty of people associate Bohemian Rhapsody with Wayne's World, and that's fine. They still know the song.
@swankman365 That's a good point but on the other hand for some that might have been their first exposure to it, but again a good point, the Simpsons debuted in the 80s while this great song is from the 60s. My first exposure, however, was my parents who were in their early 20s (I think) when this song came out.
@TheLongArmoftheLaw1 I actually like the Simpsons (classic Simpsons, anyway) but I can understand how some people might get tired of seeing "Thumbs up if X brought you here" comments, but on the other hand young people are glad to have gotten into these songs through pop culture. So I see both sides of it. But let's just agree that this is a great song.
One thing I always liked about the Carpenters is that in the late 60s with songs like Close To You and their cover of Ticket To Ride they helped revive traditional style pop music (but in a new form) for a generation that had long forgotten about that style of music outside of The Rat Pack and Bobby Darin.
This shows up todays music for what it is, trash!! You can take your gaga and your justin bieber and shove it, I will keep my presley, beatles and sinatra any day of the week. You may say I'm old fashioned and uncool but I feel sorry for todays youth. Back then we had countless classics by the beatles and so many more, our sporting heroes were montana and the greatest muhammad ali. We walked on the moon and had woodstock. This generation really got the short straw.
@XavierMarciano Do you actually think that all of those events happened all at once and not just your dumb brain entangling them together, like how people think that old times only had Mozart and Beethoven and just had those music greats and so on?
@Kuniopt I don't think all those events happened together but you only get so many letters for a comment, so I mentioned my favourite artists, sporting heroes and notable events I lived through. Of course these and much more artists and events happened during that considerable time span, but I only get a set amount of letters for a comment. I stand by my statement regarding todays music. Thanks for your comment though.
This was played at my best friends funeral a few months ago and this is the song that set me off crying, yet now it makes me feel so happy and it feels like she is here next to me <3 RIP paige xxx
