michelle zauner’s book ‘Crying in H Mart’ brought me here. her stage name is Japanese Breakfast.. ya’ll should giver her a listen and read her book! ❤️
Today is a Monday and it’s pouring outside. As a child I loved and listened to The Carpenters but not until today did I feel compassion for Karen Carpenter’s spiritual battles. She was given a wisdom to understand that we don’t fit because we don’t belong.This isn’t our home. Tragically she fell prey to the enemy’s tactics. There is consolation that we have her beautiful voice and her prayers for us all who feel those same blues. For now we’re here to seek Our Creator and show gratitude for His love for us. One day when He decides we will hear her again live. Now she sings happier songs for Our Savior. No more spiritual battles for Ms Carpenter. Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her.
There aren't enough good songs about depression. This is one of them. Somehow she was able to find some positives among the darkness. God bless the Carpenters, some people say this is corny 70's music but I think they are afraid to feel.
@@AntiStraightMaleSociety .....actually it was by Paul Williams and another writer. Paul had the ability to write both upbeat optimistic songs and deeply emotional ones. He's got quite a catalog of music as well as acting credits.
Never say never, as the saying goes ... but try as I might, I just simply cannot imagine - at least in my lifetime - that I'll _ever_ hear a voice as utterly beautiful as Karen's. I truly mean that.
The song is absolute perfection, right up until "funny how it seems..." when it suddenly and inexplicably turns into a love song. It starts out so real and raw and I can relate to every word.
@@johnnations5932 Yes, the isolation many felt as a result of the pandemic added new layers of meaning to the lyrics of RD&M. Mind you, I'm not sure that "the one who loves me" necessarily refers to a romantic partner: I feel it could easily be a friend, relative, even a beloved pet (I had a wonderful cat, sadly gone five years now, who would cuddle up to me when i was feeling blue, he was very much in tune with my moods.)
I learned about The Carpenters because one of my Patients loved The Carpenters. He's diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease final stage, He was once a very talented and a well known Doctor in his time. Sadly we had to part ways cause there are things i want to do and places i want to explore. Hopefully he'll live a long and peaceful life ahead. I remember mapili sya sa taga pag alaga sa kanya but we got along so quickly and it melts my heart every time i see him smile and seems to forget about his worries. Oh God I miss Tito Ed so much. May God bless him.
The Carpenters were an unbelievably talented duo. Karen had the voice of an angel, she sang those notes effortlessly! Greatly missed she is. May she R.I.P. 🙏
as a young teen I love to put my Rain coat and go walking in the rain n sometimes I still do crying in the rain I have alot of wounds can't forget them
My mother was a huge fan of the Carpenters and when I was in my early 20s she dedicated this song to me. It amazed me that it described to perfection what I felt. Now when I hear it I remember her looking at me with love and understanding that I suffered from the blues and certainly didn't like Mondays especially rainy ones.
Same. Me and my mother would listen to The Carpenters record when I was in high school. I was really depressed and she was very sick,but now looking back those were the best days with her even when we had nothing but each other. I lost her when I was 26 but those are definitely some of my favorite memories with her. ❤
One of those beautiful Souls who was soo loved and adored but She in her own Self just couldn’t see her Immense Beauty & Worth. I’ve struggled my whole life with self love and self worth so I truly understand. I know She is Glorifying God now in Eternity with that Gorgeous voice!
Oh oh oh oh give tomorrow gived rainy dayed gived ok gooall gived got kinded all monney gived tankyou 8000 mor all closed thankyou so muched good gus all gues gived not packing 100% gived good good
i just went out of the bathroom and got dressed so quickly and the gloomy weather made me think of this song now everything is grey and cold. my body, the weather, my ears and even my coffee
Love this song, this is me, someone you trust let's you down, can't believe they've done what they've done but life goes on, sad as it is sometimes, anyone on here who feels like this, just move on and be strong, hard as it is 👍♥️

Talkin' to myself and feelin' old Sometimes I'd like to quit Nothin' ever seems to fit Hangin' around Nothin' to do but frown Rainy days and Mondays always get me down What I've got they used to call the blues Nothin' is really wrong Feelin' like I don't belong Walkin' around Some kind of lonely clown Rainy days and Mondays always get me down Funny, but it seems I always wind up here with you Nice to know somebody loves me Funny, but it seems that it's the only thing to do Run and find the one who loves me (the one who loves me) What I feel has come and gone before No need to talk it out (talk it out) We know what it's all about Hangin' around (hangin' around) Nothin' to do but frown Rainy days and Mondays always get me down Funny, but it seems that it's the only thing to do (only thing to do) Run and find the one who loves me (ooh) What I feel has come and gone before No need to talk it out (to talk it out) We know what it's all about Hangin' around (hangin' around) Nothin' to do but frown Rainy days and Mondays always get me down Hangin' around (hangin' around) Nothin' to do but frown Rainy days and Mondays always get Me down
I love you karen carpenter and your brother. I will see you in heaven. Karen u passed away so long ago, I was just around 4 or 5 years old. But I remember your songs from my mom playing them. RIP., LOVE, COURTNEY
I'm an actress and singer , I sing a lot on. Stage and people have been telling me I sound a little like her , so I looked her up and wow!! What a talent they were❤🌹
Essa linda canção toda num dos episodios mais leves, comicos e romanticos da serie Arquivo X. Lembro que quando ouvi nao conhecia a dupla...fiquei fascinada e me virei nos trinta pra descobri (nuna epoca sem Internet)...foi dificil...entretanto quando vi um cd coletanea dos Carpenters numa promoção no mercado Extra tive que adquirir. E qual foi minha surpresa ao descobrir as outras canções maravilhosas que a dupla tinha...sem falar da Rayny Mondays que graças a Deus vinha na coletânea.
2023? I watched this song break a young RU-vidr down in real time. By the end she said “but it’s so sad. Why…. What… (sniff).” I told her “sad songs were a fixture in American history” They were quite therapeutic. It’s simple (used to be). If you felt sad you listened to someone who felt sad too. Even Karen sings “what I have they used to call the blues”. Today it’s all about affirmation. Being the best version of you. Never admitting defeat, loss, heartbreak. But it’s all fake because that’s not how humanity works. We lose! We get rejected by those we love that don’t love us back. We don’t have to “achieve” all day. It’s ok! So we threw on a sad love song and by the end of the day, proper perspective won out. Our music saved us! Today it hurts us. Slowly! M I is at an all time high. Because trying to make a round peg fit into a square hole, as a lifestyle, will break you. So we try to break the peg. Or the hole. And the whole thing goes plunk. Wanna fix America? Force people to listen to pre internet 70s songs like this. Reintroduce us to pure humanity.
