I need to be in love - The Carpenters by Gijs van Winkelhof (Gijspiano)

Hi everybody,
Here I'm playing the song 'I need to be in love' from 'The Carpenters' from the album 'There's A Kind Of Hush'. I read that the song became Karen's favorite Carpenter song.
Karen & Richard are both amazingly gifted musicians and Karen's voice was one-of-a-kind and will never be duplicated.
I hope you'll enjoy my video.

Music and Lyrics by Richard Carpenter, John Bettis and Albert Hammond

Lyrics:

The hardest thing I've ever done is keep believing
There's someone in this crazy world for me
The way that people come and go through temporary lives
My chance could come and I might never know

I used to say "No promises, let's keep it simple"
But freedom only helps you say goodbye
It took a while for me to learn that nothing comes for free
The price I paid is high enough for me

I know I need to be in love
I know I've wasted too much time
I know I ask perfection of a quite imperfect world
And fool enough to think that's what I'll find

So here I am with pockets full of good intentions
But none of them will comfort me tonight
I'm wide awake at 4 a.m. without a friend in sight
I'm hanging on a hope but I'm all right

I know I need to be in love
I know I've wasted too much time
I know I ask perfection of a quite imperfect world
And fool enough to think that's what I'll find

I know I need to be in love
I know I've wasted too much time
I know I ask perfection of a quite imperfect world
And fool enough to think that's what I'll find

Lets all rate this 5 stars again. To undo the nasty doing of some idiotic and jealous coward who tried to boycott Gijs' amazing work!

[ForNow22]

What's happening over here? Some jealous guy is torturing Gijs's videos. :-@ I'll report this to YouTube immedially.

Hopefully, someday you can come to L.A. where you could play at Disney Hall. It would be a perfect venue for you and with the right publicity beforehand, you'd be guaranteed a good turnout. I for one would certainly come!

I just LOVE your 'expansive' version of this song. It brings it alive more than anyone else and inspires me to try it in this fashion.

[onetamer]

Amazing! You are very talented!

[brucew44guns]

You have a talent that is simply fantastic. Your version of this is your own, but anyone who liked the Carpenters version can't do anything but enjoy and like them both. Thanks so much, you must have practiced this a long time to be so utterly perfect.
