Starting Over - The Raspberries (1974)

[ervinlarson]

Love this song, always have.

This song still sounds fresh after all these years...There are plenty of bands out there that learned a thing or two from The Raspberries...

[ChopsHannigan]

this album was Rolling Stones album of the year and for good reason, not a clam in the bunch...

[ismeniavazquez]

For me the most touching lyrics of the prolific writing made by Eric Carmen.

[duskieone]

Awesome band...great song. Breaks my heart that so many people today don't even remember the Raspberries.

I have been a Raspberries fan since 1972! I still think that this group was SOOOOO underrated!

[reverendflash]

Elton John called. He wants his 'Tiny Dancer' intro back.

[ShellTrek]

"The Raspberries Rule"!

@45spindle - I just noticed the F bomb as well in the first line. I had to listen to it a few times because it caught me off guard as I was driving lol. I suppose if your album only makes it to 143 on the charts you can get away with one without anyone noticing.  But yeah, he definitely doesn't say "very".

[agoradoll71]

Shows you how ahead of his time he really was.

[45spindle]

First line of this song... he's not saying "very". Listen close, it's the "F" bomb. Love The Razz!!!!

Just Beautiful!!! 5*s Thank You...Anita..

[ChopsHannigan]

People forget this was the album of the year in Rolling Stone back when Rolling Stone meant something...

[ossamotocross]

Awesome - never knew of this song - just beautiful and so true to life....

[Route625]

Beautiful. I can relate.

[fruticetum]

This is one of the outstanding songs nobody' s ever heard of .

[ShellTrek]

Lovely Song... "Brings a tear to me eye, it dies"!

[jdcovington]

GREAT !!! Thanks for the POST_

[Timepassages1978]

Such a sad but wonderful song, almost poetry to be the band's last album

[Timepassages1978]

I mean it is poetry :]

[xlxfjh]

Would have been a hit if not for the f-word in the first line.  Ah, the days of putting artistic integrity before record sales...

[Planktontwo]

I just noticed that. Does not sound like Eric Carmen, but then again, it may be out of frustration. Still like this song and more so the group because they were sooooo underrated.

[Bluejay052]

One of my favorite songs of all time. The song is as gorgeous today as it was when I first heard it off the "Starting Over" album.

Thanks for posting it!

[fruticetum]

Yes.  One of my top 10 favorite all-time songs, too.
