When I was young I’d listened to the radio waitin’ for my favorite songs waiting they played I’d sing along It made me smile Those were such happy times and not so long ago how I wondered where they’d gone but they’re back again just like a long lost friend all the songs I loved so well
Every sha-la-la-la every wo-wo-wo still shines Every shing-a-ling-a-ling that they’re starting to sing’s so fine When they get to the part where he’s breakin’ her heart it can really make me cry just like before it’s yesterday once more
Lookin’ back on how it was in years gone by and the good times that I had makes today seem rather sad so much has changed It was songs of love that I would sing to then and I’d memorize each word Those old melodies still sound so good to me As they melt the years away
Every sha-la-la-la every wo-wo-wo still shines Every shing-a-ling-a-ling that they’re starting to sing’s so fine All my best memories come back clearly to me some can even make me cry just like before It’s yesterday once more
Oh My God ! What a Great Sweet Nostalgia that tears welled up and started rolling down ! Thank You God for creating Carpenters and bestowing them with honey voice!
How ironic that she is singing about feeling nostalgic for the harmonies of Doo-wop-ish 50's music and she is evoking the same feelings in listeners to HER song almost 40 years later. The 70's was incredible and the end of many things we can't get back. The Gold Standard, the Environment, Good Music, Good (non GMO)Food, Good Cartoons, Good Toys, Good Movies and Happiness.

@finlanderable Nobody gives a fuck how old you are and which songs you like or dont like. You damn kids stop flooding the comments page to try to get attention, your age is totally irrelevant
@davemelnick@driverjackboy You guys said it - nice to see some of the younger crowd appreciating the zenith of popular music too. There's plenty of Carpenters haters out there, but all I can say to that is pearls before swine. No one has or ever will match these records.
I had my first BLT sandwich in a hole in the wall in Pittsburgh, PA back in 1972. On the jukebox this song was playing.....Yesterday Once More. I will never forget that first BLT listening to this song.
@armendoza if you are going back, PLEASE TAKE ME WITH YOU, I was born in 1982 but I would gladly LOVE TO go back to the 70's! I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THAT DECADE, the clothes, music, and pop culture! BEST TIME EVER! and the best part, is KAREN AND RICHARD! THEY ARE THE BEST MUSICIANS WHO EVER LIVED!
@armendoza i was born in the 80s... so I would ask God to take once and for all to the 70s... I always wanted to be born in these years (or before them).
! oh combien de vieux/ vieilles , se rendent souvent pour ecouter encore et encore ; cette connerie !! ( moi aussi d'ailleurs; tu t'en souviens mila ?)
You asked God to take you back to the 70's? ... Strange because God is the demanding one. You must do what God says and no the other way around fool. Yahweh and Zeus love you.
Just kidding. This song is pretty good and for everything the Carpenters did will be remembered always. Great music no doubt. 10 dislikes well... those idiots have no taste
when i sing this song i feel like i'm singing about this song itself. my mom played Carpenters songs all the time when i was very young and... you know... they can make me cry
Her voice is timeless. I grew up in the 80s, but I have such a huge appreciation for her voice. It's a shame she died so young. I would have loved to have seen her in concert.
They could be singing about themselves 40 years on... Have to agree with you pbaylis. .. Was thinking that as I was hearing them and hadn't read your comment until I wrote the first line.
I grew up mid fifties to mid sixties. Graduated in 66 in a small New England Town. I was so fortunate to have experienced first hand the culmination of music that this song expresses and more.
The golden records, 45s were coming so fast. Everyday new music was being introduced on the radio and most of the time, you fell in love with them after hearing it only once, it was so great. Seems like there was an endless stream of hits and they kept on coming.
There were so many hit singles, so many new artists and groups; we spent our allowances at the local record shop. Most kids never even took the time to play the backside of the records we bought because we were overwhelmed be sheer number of new hit singles
For all that were unfortunate not to have grown up though it all, I truly feel you missed an American music revolution. If you have ever viewed the movie American Graffiti, we enjoyed about 8 endless summers worth. Truly and American experience..
I used to get teased in High School for listening to The Carpenters, didn't matter to me, Listening to Karen's voice was like watching Smoke Dance. Her voice will NEVER be equaled.
I love that this is the raw original un-remixed version. They changed it for the Singles album, then Richard remixed and re-recorded some of this for all the compilation albums.
I wish every English song was this good; most the older music is calm and peaceful. . . but the newer music isn't all like that. Sure, a few songs are calming. . . but new music doesn't have that same chime as older music.
Not to say that the new music is bad. . . I like the music of my generation, but the older music--it's just. . . amazing. It's jaw dropping how music changes so quickly. . .
i loved this song so much...
