I first sang it when I was 13 ..now I am 60 . .. I love the song and the hope it instils ..In school we used to sing it like a hymn ..God is the only one who stays around…❤and never betrays you! Keeps you on Top of the world…
Mine was not an"English Medium"school.Though I had some exposures of Nat King Cole,Jim Reeves,Padboune,Dean Martin and a few more in my college days I got to know Carpenter just after graduation in 1977.From the onward the love for her songs is unabated.I am now 67.
I am 60 years old now and I loved this song as a child. I believe I was around 8 years old or so! Karen's voice was one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard. She is sorely missed. God rest her soul in heaven for as far as I can tell, she is just one of the Lord's many treasures (among many others), that will be singing praises to the King of all creation for all eternity.
I still listen to this song from time to time. It just comes over me. I think of it suddenly and the tune just flows. It makes me smile. I love Karen Carpenter. She was a rare gem.
Good morning. Karen Carpenter could flat out sing the dickens outta ANY other woman of her time. Bar none. She had the voice of an angel. Gone waaaaay too soon. I always liked this song.
My aunty sang this to me almost every night I spent with her. Also (sandy and her puppy dog by dolly Parton.) Not a day or night goes by that this song and memory doesn't cross my mind. 💯💖
My Grandma's favorite song ❤ happy to say that she's with God and the angels up there. She's really on the top of the world. I'll miss you forever Grandma 👵😢💔😔❤
It was my dad's favourite song back then. Grew up listening to this together....It's been 10 years since he passed away..had been missing him so ended up coming here.
I really learned to appreciate the Carpenters over the years. Karen was a great drummer and had the voice of an angel. Richard was cool, too. 2020 needs this kind of optimism.
I am Japanese 65 years old guy. I have good memory of this song. when I was Middle school and was in School trip to Kyoto, I suddenly turned on the SW of TV then this song as coming from it. After that, this song remained in my memory... Great song.
I'm playing this song on repeat so my baby nephew could sleep. In fact, this song is a favorite since he was born. The magic that this song gives such goodness in him. Now he’s sleeping tight.
Same here. I'm putting my son to sleep playing this song on repeat ❤ Big small world. There's a lot of people doing similar things and we barely realise these little things
Today's a really bad, sad and downright wretched day for me but I can feel all the love from this song and it's making me feel at peace, thank you "the carpenters", and thank you God for all of creation and everything you've ever done for me and everyone else in this world♥️
I don't usually comment on youtube but my classmate who's actually my crush sang this song on our math and science week as a special number in our church, it was a beautiful moment and i loved it. Now i listen to this song almost every day as a remembrance of her talent.
i'm 15 and always feel an undescribable emptiness but when i started listening to this song it gave me a reason to smile and think about life on top of the world
Lost my mom to covid in 2021... I grew up listening to her favorite music and this was one of the songs she loved. The memory of her lives on through the music I grew to love listening to.
I lost my dad due to covid in 2021 as well... for someone who still isn't over it, I wish you calm and peace, buddy. I wish you all the happiness in the world.
The Carpenters were calling and I was hearing this in my head, and I just had to come here. Karen will always be on top of the world in our ❤hearts. Good music 🎶 lives forever
Before someone ask and made this column into a calendar, yes i'm still listening in 2021, i just want to say "may the Force be with you" whoever or wherever you are
These songs can bring us back to a more kind and loving era...i frolic in these beautiful songs for the memories and warm feelings they radiate...wishing all the world more peace and 💚🌎
I remember my grandma everytime i listened to this song. Old songs always brings our memory back. She passed away 2 months ago and even though she's not here anymore, i still love here. I really do.
A very happy song. There are certain songs that just make you feel good. Some songs have stood the test of time. Perfect for those times when you just need to live out loud.
I first heard this song when I was 25 sang to me by one of my greatest friends in life ever. I hope to listen to it for 25 years and some more just like you. You got great taste sir.
I used to sing it with my Grandma when I was still a kid, now I'll be singin' it all by myself as she left me 2 weeks ago. I will miss you everyday Nanay
They don't make songs like this anymore. ❤️ I grew up listening to the Carpenters because of my mom and dad, and I will definitely be introducing them to my kids in the future. Songs like this make the world a better place. RIP Karen Carpenter 😢
grabe, I grew up hearing my aunt sing this song whenever I hear this song I feel so happy and free. it's been almost 12 years since the last time I heard her sing this song. she's still alive but my parents got separated.
My grandfather’s mother passed away on April of 2020 and this was her favorite song now everytime I listen to this song it reminds me of her Rest in peace great-great grandmother 🕊️
When I was a baby, my mom used to play this song for my sister and I all the time. Flash forward to today, sophomore in college, nearly crying in the dining hall because they played this song.
old but gold. this song will never ever get fade away whenever my dad always turns on our old component and play and my grandmother use to play also in her organ instrument which is now both in heaven it is still fresh in my ears whenever I listen to it. i really like and love this song. now it's my turn that I'm the one who is playing this song from them that I have now learned to use the saxophone instrument by now. I will make them proud by continuing their legacy of what they loved to do by when I was a kid playing their old music. I will always make their song memories fresh thru my saxophone music. 😍😍😍😃
I’m sorry to say this but that time will never come. Even if this virus is almost completely gone, everyone will be wearing masks because it will never be fully gone.
@@DarkElfSimp no it won't it's a zoonautic virus meaning it spreads from animals. Getting rid of it completely means getting rid of animals. Unless we find a vaccine that gives immunity for a long time, it won't fully go away. If you think the vaccine we have now works and gives immunity, you're wrong. It only decreases severity of the virus if you get it, meaning you could still get it.
My grandparents loved to sing this song during Christmas or during a family reunion. I would just vibe with them. Love you so much, Elena and Jovito. 💞
Whenever it's almost 2024, this song is just giving me memories about my grandma who died in february 25 2023, my auntie told about a story that they two my grandma and my auntie dueting with this song, whenever this is made in alot of years, i will be still listening to this.. Great song to give back memories..
This song always remind me of my beloved grandma. I remember we sing together everytime i played it in our radio. Its been a year since she passed away. I miss her so much. Thank you Carpenters for such a beautiful song!
Such a feelin's comin' over me There is wonder in most every thing I see Not a cloud in the sky, got the sun in my eyes And I won't be surprised if it's a dream Everything I want the world to be Is now comin' true especially for me And the reason is clear, it's because you are here You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation And the only explanation I can find Is the love that I've found, ever since you've been around Your love's put me at the top of the world Something in the wind has learned my name And it's tellin' me that things are not the same In the leaves on the trees, and the touch of the breeze There's a pleasing sense of happiness for me There is only one wish on my mind When this day is through I hope that I will find That tomorrow will be, just the same for you and me All I need will be mine if you are here I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation And the only explanation I can find Is the love that I've found, ever since you've been around Your love's put me at the top of the world I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation And the only explanation I can find Is the love that I've found, ever since you've been around Your love's put me at the top of the world
The very moment that I heard this song was when I was 7 years old and the lyrics are still keeping my childhood memeories. I wish I could go back again with thos moments. ❤️
This song describes everything I feel about my person. "After Life" got me here and it feels so appropriate. I'll be singing this to her till we're old and toothless.
My first listened to this song was back in my elementary school days. Our class teacher make us sing together. That was really great fun. I will never forget this masterpiece. Now I am in high school and really pleased the fact that I knew this since I was young.
my singing teacher in school (we had a compulsory singing period till 8th grade) taught us a bunch of old songs and this is one of them. i miss school so much sometimes. he'd play these songs on his guitar and we'd all sing them and it was so much fun
I still remember when my elder sister play this song 😔 but now he is no more with us this song really makes me emotional whenever I listen to this song I miss my sis 😭😭
I remember i used to dance to this song for my first solo recital in ballet when i was 7 years old and it was my first time to get so much applause from people, Im now 15 years old and i want to go back to ballet and dance what this song again❤
Such a sweet and mellow song😌So Naive and fresh, no steamy lyrics, just a saintly poem full of love. Thankyou Keeravani Sir for introducing me to this beautiful 👏👏 song
Such a good song and a touching song that bring and gives such good message and thanks from God. It really touch my heart and make me want to cry when hearing it. God bless 🙏
