Carpenters - Desperado

[danophile07]

the singign track is sung well but isnt edited well u can here lips in the reverb its really distracting

[jakesnake35]

this is better than eagles version

[WildOceanWave]

This song has been a part of me for a mighty long time.

[motiger68]

This is a beautiful song by the Carpenters and it reminded me of the days riding horseback long ago.

[babyblackblond]

i cried....

[TheUSCam]

This song always reminds me of my youth when my Pop and I rode fences on our old property. Nowadays I always seem to be burning bridges rather than mending fences.

[ganmu2009]

SO GOOD~!

[joelarama]

I think Karen just sung for me and me alone..The lyrics are so fitting to how I am feeling at the moment. Sad but true. Thanks for posting. My tears are now gone.

[pennyeshua]

I hope you are O.K. now and that you're smiling.

[smokeybravotgs]

This definitely stands up to the Eagle's. Even a little bit better in a way.

[bahashawa]

Good point , Karen could not sing a bad note !!!!!! AWESOME !!!!!

[Jenot59]

space3332, you are most probably one of the strongest characters, for lonelyness is a sad affair and being like a desperado must have brought you strenght and endurance.

Every person is unique, as are you as was

Karen Carpenter,

good luck !

[heiwa2007]

karen performed the same feat thru a very different but perfect version of another classic 'ticket to ride' that gave the original artists a run for their money. she's a wonder.

[heiwa2007]

desperado is such a beautiful song that it is hard to say which is the best version: the eagles' or linda ronstadt's and then you hear karen's sublime vocals in this song....

[searchlight18]

Karen had probably the purest voice of all time;perfection is what killed her. She did reach it in her songs.Amazing talent.

[space3332]

Well i guess i am like a desperdo in a way. some people have it made. I am not on the run from the law that is. Thank God i am not. Its a very lonely life. At times. When you have had a past like i had. well not i guess my father it was. Its like been a prisoner walking throught this would all alone. The song tells you what its like. The words i mean. But i have some friends. Its a great song. space3332.

Excelente canción. La han escuchado en la película "In America"? Simplemente genial.

[magoo1970mopar]

Chick drummer, great voice, respect the drummer chick...

[TheUSCam]

Desperado riding fences. Well, ain't we all been there sometime? And haven't we all been told to come to our senses at one time or another? Hell, my old pop told me so saying "Hell boy, there are no horses in the Navy!"xD

Fuck it, I have my horses.xD

@TheUSCam

PS. I still love my Pop and my Mom. Passed over they may be , but they still watch over me.

[ayienn82]

best gile!!!! mishh u very much karen!

[bodaciouscowboy]

Some people apparently misunderstood the comment below by lastalot. In American slang, "she killed the song" is a compliment.

[olycoyote]

without a doubt the best rendition of this song that exists - Karen was and is incredible.

[ChilloutEx]

What a cross-field performance! Not even Ella Fitzgerald could sing it better. Richard mastered intensity in production. Surprinsing. Nothing short of a master piece

[AIRPLANEMAN1965]

The Eagles had the biggest hit, and I think Glen Frey and Don Henley wrote the song. Linda Ronstadt also had a recording. I never knew The Carpenters recorded it. Best version.

[toquerodriguez]

No sé como cantan los ángeles..pero de seguro no tan bien como Karen!!!

[12Hiris09]

I love this version the most!!!

[Thamienfermagem]

Linda musica!!!

[BigDogsDangler]

Karen could have sung the phone book and made it sound good.

[The370000]

I love it .....Hi from Latvian girl....

[donnahide]

Personally,I think Linda's version seems to show deperados' hard lives and power on behalf of them, So,energetic!

And this Karen's version seems to console the desperados' hard lives..

So, sweet...

Now Karen consoles with this sweet angel voice to them...maybe

Billy the kid...in the heaven...

[radicalsee]

Amazing. I really love her voice, one of the best of all time. Linda Ronstadt's version of this song is fantastic as well.

[shintotz]

my favorite voice ever!

[steveatl40]

There will never be a female vocalist that can match Karen's style, sound, and talent.

[Atlas423]

Karen can't be beat on a song like this one. She always nails melancholy.

[AleTheLawyer]

Carpenters. Karen Carpenter (RIP) is the voice. Just wonderful!

[LaMontagne1982]

definately exceptional

[Sumumabitch78]

sorr eagles, your originl is good but....the carpenters kicked your asses!! this is a masterpiece. Man,she sang like a godess...

[ForbiddenDisclosure]

Exceptional talent.
