  • 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 heard this on the Simpsons Movie, and from The Karen Carpenter Story. LOVE IT!

  • looooooooooooooool, yyyyyyy the Simpsons?

  • 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.

    So cheesy, so classic.

    Also, they're together as of 6 hours ago.

    <3

  • Welcome to the wedding list "Close to you." I first heard ya on the Simpsons so I naturally have quite an affinity for you.

  • a MUST to enjoy it at this 2012 valentine's day

  • oldies are the best ... :)

  • @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.

  • Well actually finding out of this thanks to Simpsons looks like a really stupid way of discovering this songs, no problems, no offence :D

  • @Woland94 Actually, your way of thinking is really stupid,no problems, no "offence".

  • When Homer meets Marge in high school

  • Best Simpsons song ever made by the Simpsons!

  • @cocobutterinmypants it wasnt made by the simpsons, it was used in the simpsons movie

  • The Simpsooooons ;)

  • this is just a cute song

  • awwhh Marge and Homer 4 ever <3

  • I first heard this song in Mirror Mask and fell in love with it.

  • The Simpsons is on.

  • Oh what a beautiful voice! heavenly! Now she sings for God! as I believe she always did! thank you!

  • This is really a lovely song but, it makes me feel so empty and broken.

  • :')

    

  • This song is in The Simpsons Movie but they also sing it in Open Season 2

  • @rupertmyprince its also in the simpson episode "The Way We Was" from season two

  • G'WAN HOMER!

  • So what ppl came here from the simpsons? they never knew it before or liked in the movie

    its no big deal, God !, some ppl have sticks up their asses..

  • I knew this song by myself, I heard it on TV and liked it. I heard it on the Simpsons later.

  • I like Caren Carpenters's songs.

  • @prcsdcphtdmw *Karen

  • /watch?v=C-WKWONnXPI

  • Lolz this song on open season is actually what made the whole movie funny XD

  • if it werent for the simpsos i wouldnt know this great song <3

  • the awkward moment when the two top comments are arguing with each other....

  • @GBK575 LOL.

  • the song make used to make me cry

  • 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 :)

  • @JaneliMae Open Season ;)

  • 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.

  • ohhh are you a forcep? cant you please pick my heart because it fell with this song..

  • 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

  • Thumbs up if your listening to this song in 2012 :)

  • Does remind me of Simpsons though.

  • 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

  • Ahh, I Just Luv This Song!

  • i really like it..the essence of having someone you know!!

  • one of the best songs...it makes my heart cry...and the movie "so close" is the best i keep on watching it again and again

  • hahahahaha i typed in when birds suddenly appear :P

  • 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

  • love it

  • Comment removed

  • Simpsons introduced me to this beautiful song. Problem?

  • @fpereira77 Not at all

  • @fpereira77 na...

  • simpsons brought me here

  • best song ever 

  • hey who's the male that sang this!!!!??? haha i always hear this in a lotta movies like from paris with love

  • YEEAAAA

    

  • The Simpsons didn't brought me here, my boyfriend did

  • @mallepuha Well, I don't have a boyfriend, cause I'm not gay. I just saw an advertisment and had this song. I cried on the inside...

  • love this song 

  • my boyfriend messaged me the words to this :D

  • I am so lame. I am 14 and listening to old people music.

    Yeah, I like to stereo type.

  • @Theichigogenerators Dude I'm 14 and I like listening to Michael Jackson, and the Beatles, even more this song!

  • no im listening to this before the fucking ice age.. -___-

  • What does it matter if some people knew it from the simpsons or some people knew it before then? Sheesh :P

  • I was looking everywhere for this song! XD Put the simpsons as a tag.

  • i have to sing this song to my princpal, shes leaving my school :'(

  • Thumbs up if you're listening to this song in 2031

  • Homer and Marge + The Carpenters = Tv History

  • SOOOOOOOOO AMAZING 

  • 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.

  • @Retaxes11 - Your disregard for authorship is, in fact, a sentiment shared among most modern uncultured people, not only youths.

  • @swankman365 You don't know what the word "equate" means, do you?

  • @swankman365 i completely agree with you

  • @swankman365 People do that because it was in the Simpsons and believe it or not it was a very touching moment.

  • @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 dude thanx to simpson i heard this i i hate gay music

  • @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 : I agree that it is very degrading that people equate this song with the Simpsons. Degrading to the Simpsons, that is.

  • @swankman365 But ... simpsons ._.

  • @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.

  • @swankman365 Like this comment if you think the guy above me is taking this way to seriously..... SImpsons Hater!

  • @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.

  • @swankman365 so what?

  • Fk... This now song is stuck in my head!!

  • @TheTuttelut - You had to hear this beautiful song from the Simpson's movie? Man, you must have been deprived.

  • This song is so pretty <3

  • this was my mama n daddy's song.........(:

  • I came here because I have a good taste in music not because of The Simpsons

    .

  • I have looked for this song for my whole life. I heard it when I was young and finally. Finally. I found it. I feel like turning to liquid now ;)

  • thumbs up if you liked this before the simpsons movie!

  • @TheTuttelut I heard this befor the movie, but it was in the simpsons

  • I heard this song on the movie "So Close"

    and i like it!

  • my mom used to sing this to me when i was little

  • It's comming to my mind the moment when Homer is sad. It's great!!! Thanks to The Simpsons to teach me about music too. Go Carpenters! Great!

  • i absouluty adore this song. <3

  • I got a lovely bit of art today of me and my boyfriend and it reminded me of this song.

  • Whahaha

    The Simpsons episode where Homer and Marge tell to their kids how they fell in love brought me here.

    Great song!

  • Comment removed

  • I dedicate this one to Bob Dylan...wi luv

  • i got this from the muppets <3

  • 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.

  • ned the nerd brought me here XD

  • La amooo!! simplemente lo mejor... Me emociona ;D

  • God, I love this song so much.

  • Shane Dawson? :]

  • 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
