Richard Carpenter - When time was all we had.

Even Richard Carpenter's voice wasn't the best the song shows how he loved (and loves) his sister.
Hope you enjoy it.
Thanks renadede for the lyrics.

When Time Was All we Had:

That endless season
When time was all we had
We saw forever
And caught it in our hands

Life was a charm
Our hearts were filled with music
And laughter
When time was all we had

I never will forget
Your face in silhouette
Your voice will be the sweetest sound
I'll ever hear and yet

We knew somehow the song
would never end
When time was all we had to spend

Aunque la voz de Richard Carpenter no sea de lo mejor, la canción muestra como él apreciaba (y aprecia) a su hermana.
Espero que les guste.

Digo que el disco de Karen nunca salió porque la salida de un disco implica promoción, giras, entrevistas. Karen se murió sin ver salir SU disco. Lo que hizo Rich en 1996 fue desempolvarlo para no tener que oir más a los fans. El disco no tuvo promoción, fue visto como una curiosidad. El disco de Karen no merecía este tratamiento. Más allá de si el disco era bueno o malo (esto lo decide el público), Rich vio en la carrera en solitario de Karen una amenza a la existencia de los Carpenters.

@FlyingMondongo En una cosa tenes la razón absoluta, metí mal el garfio y apreté un 8 en vez de un 9, el álbum salio en 1996. Y si lo escuché en la radio e inclusive hubo "disecciones" del mismo en radios como Aspen (FM) acá en Argentina. Fue así como supe de la existencia de álbum y fui corriendo a comprarlo. :-)

Viendo lo que ocurrió con Time, posiblemente ambos hermanos se auto-boicotearan sus propios proyectos. Era una simbiosis que a veces rayaba lo psicótico. lo que entre ellos había.

Hey, Alpert, ¿cuántos ejemplares vendiste de este bodrio de disco? Digamos que comparando el solo de Karen con el solo de Rich, el de Karen gana, pero por paliza. Sin embargo, el disco de Karen no te impresionó lo "suficiente", no era lo suficientemente bueno. Aquí en cambio hasta te diste el gusto de tocar el fliscorno en una intervención para el olvido. Este disco es para llorar, sin duda, pero ante tanta ceguera y confusión artística.

@FlyingMondongo gustos son gustos... pero musicalmente el disco de Rich es superior. Además el de Karen no salio en su momento por decisión de ella, pero en 1986 salió a la venta. Pero no generó expectativas...

@renadede Thanks for the lyrics.

You know, I hear all this talk of Richard being a great producer, a great arranger but a bad singer! I totally disagree - with the singing part, that is. I think he had the gift of all three.....this track is wonderful - he has a nice tone to his voice and like his sister, his delivery throughout the entire song is bang on!

Great job, Richard!

[oakdude1]

Lisa, I couldn't agree with you more. I think Richard's vocals are brilliant in this song. Many seem to have overlooked that he was the genius behind it all! The Carpenters ( and other singers ) used layering and dubbing in their tracks. For The Carpenters, it worked very well and I commend and praise them for bringing such a unique sound.

Both Richard and Karen have a lisp, but it was on purpose and contributes to the overall blend of their vocal sound. They also both had perfect intonation !

It's quite appropriate that Richard would sing all of the parts in this song written in tribute and in honor of his sister Karen, relating to the old days when he and Karen sang all of the parts....

[Timberextra]

i like that idea too!!!

[puretemptation]

RIP lovely Karen

[georgebur]

I don't have a problem with the singing of Richard in this one. And the blend with Karen was great.

RC continue to make a lot of beatiful songs! :)

Beautiful, but sad song.

Richard did have a slight lisp, but anyone who thinks this man is not talented needs their head (and ears) examined. He arranged ALL the Carpenters music and vocals... genius.
