It's now 2024. Karen has been gone 41 years and we all want more songs in her voice. Such a beautiful talent that we loved her more than she loved herself. ❤💔
I can't listen to this song without crying. Even before Karen passed it would always make me so emotional. I'm so lucky to have grown up with the Carpenters' music.
This song like all her others is bar far most sacred to me this song especially means alot to me. It represents the time I lost my sister 5 years to suicide and this year 2024 I've decided to say I'm caught between goodbye and I lover you. So I made a painful decision to stop mourning her death as related to suicide and move on. So thank you Karen for her words ❤
The song you need to hear next and do a reaction video for from Karen is; “I Can’t Make Music”! Karen’s singing and the violin at the end absolutely makes me sob almost every time. I’m not at all afraid to admit that. Something about the song, the arrangement, Karen’s perfect baritone voice and the high violin fading off at the end, just after Karen finishes her vocal…it’s so perfect! 🎤🎼 Solitaire is my second favorite, but “I Can’t Make Music” 🎶 is absolutely out of this world with emotion.
How Karen was able to sing so insightfully with such incredible conviction at such a young age is absolutely remarkable! As her brother Richard so aptly noted, she was able to sing way beyond her years! That's why Karen and Judy Garland, in my opinion, are equally the two greatest-ever female singers of popular music!
I agree with those who say this song doesn't get the credit it richly deserves, it's from the Close to You album, one of my all-time favorite Carpenter's songs.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
One of the greatest and most underappreciated Carpenters' songs of them all! I have always loved this magnificently beautiful ballad, "Maybe It's You" from the "Close To You" album by Karen and Richard Carpenter. This ladies and gentlemen and boys and girls is REAL music performed by REAL talent!
Hi Joe, I saw you Jessica st posted even tho this was 9 years ago. She saved my life as a kid. Saw her in 74. And I thinks she's still saving my life today in this crazy world.
Her voice is just devastatingly beautiful. The use of minor keys in their early albums was incredibly affective. Ugh, takes me back to the day she passed when I was a teenager. The world was stunned.
In terms of her voice, this album showcased her voice and she never sounded better but physically you could she had lost weight. The next album A Kind of Hush she sounded tired and richards arrangements and picks of songs werent up to par. They really left quite a legacy. Another generation are just discovering them now. Real talent never goes away.
We have reached a time when there will now be people who go through their whole lives never hearing one of the most precious and beautiful voices ever to bless humanity.
