was Karen always alone? Today you would never hear this kind of honesty in a song.

Pure magic from an angel.

@walshesco I don't know the gentleman's name, but I did watch a VH1 special on the Carpenters in the later 1990's, and the guitarist talked of his work on this song... (Proud of it, of course.)

this is the first power ballad

I didn't like anything else the Carpenters did but this one is truly magnificent: her voice is so mellow in contrast to the amazing rock guitar rifts - who was he by the way? Still makes the hairs on my neck stand on end.

This is just horrible, not the real version

[JohnGLewis1964]

As it is said of John Lennon with the Beatles, Richard was the 'egghead' (iyw) for the Carpenters.

@calilammy You can find it in "Live in London" (the real version, not this karaoke MIDI one) and "Live at the Budokan 1974" along with their 1976 "First Television Special."

NOTE TO ALL: This is NOT the real version. This is the karaoke version with crappy MIDI instruments on the left side.

@CrickfootGattie You may want to rethink that. Read "Little Girl Blue: The Life of Karen Carpenter."

[JohnGLewis1964]

It is curious, and unexpected; but Karen could have been singing here of her own life... A beautiful, somber, and melancholic, song.
