I heard this when I was a very young boy and didn't know what it meant. I just thought it sounded so beautiful, like a mother singing a lullaby or some kind of magical song. It was like an adult's song, a child's song at the same time. And now that I understand the words, it's even more beautiful to me. Thank you, Karen.
I am an adult man and I just ran into that song and it overwhelmed me with emotions, like how my life was so sad and yet so beautiful at the same time. Her voice and her words unlocked something inside me. It made me cry like a baby. It was so long time ago I hadn't cried like that... May God bless you Karen Carpenter 🙏
May 19 2024 And I just turned 64 years old and I truly will listen to the carpenters until I die . I’m a man’s man , not embarrassed by listening to the carpenters and proud of it. ❤❤❤
I was in a chemistry class and my teacher played this song for us in a break time. Bring back all my childhood memories and this song still the best! Happy 2022!!
"Looking back on how it was in years gone by. And the good times that I had. Makes today seem rather sad, so much has changed." Those lyrics are unbelievable relatable and real. I feel loss for my past. I grieve it. It was so much better, brighter, and more fun then the life I live currently. The world is sad and dark and probably past healing. So much has truly changed.
Lo bueno es que lo disfrutaste y viviste hermosos momentos. Pero no estés triste aunque sea época ya pasó. Dios tendrá nuevas vivencias cada día. Confía en él. Sus tiempos son perfectos. Dios te bendiga 😊
It’s 2022 and still listening to the Carpenters. Karen’s voice is un matched. So smooth and clear and real! Who used to just wait by the radio for their favorite song to come on? I know I did as a kid.
2023 and still listening to this song reminiscing my childhood memories that always bring tears. I miss my Lola, Papa and Kuya. Rest in Paradise missing you so much! 🥲🥲
I also have my mom, my dad & my youngest sister there, but luckily I still have other brothers and sister on earth. I deeply hope you can get over soon! ❤❤❤
THIS SONGS OF THE CARPENTERS WILL BE LIVING ALWAYS IN THE ALL HEARTS THAT WHO REALLY LOVES THE CARPENTERS FOREVER AND EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!! ETERNAL LOVE!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I remember this beautiful song from 1973. If you have a song that is so loved and has touched you in such a way 50 years later, you've done something special. It makes my heart ache knowing that Karen isn't here to feel all the love people have for her. A special talent gone way to soon, a special lady that is sorely missed for the last forty years.
Happy 50th anniversary to this great classic song; it was released right around this time in 1973 in fact. (It’s late May 2023 as I comment on this.) May this song by the late Miss Karen Carpenter live on for another half century. And yes, her voice was indeed like that of an angel. :)
Carpenters is one of my mother's favorite band. I really miss her singing their songs. I always pray that I could go back in time though it's not possible. 💔😢 Imissyou ma. She left us last May 5, this year. 💔
Sorry for your Loss i Loss my MOM N DAD i also wish N Pray 🙏 to go back in time to hear my DAD SING N. SEE MY MOM N DAD DANCE BUT IT'S JUST WISHFUL THINKING MAY THEY ALL R.I.P. TILL WE MEET AGAIN
It's 2023 now but I can't really forget this song. It brings me back to my childhood it always makes me cry and vibe I really love it. This song is a GOLD.❤😊
"When i was young I'd listen to the radio waitin for my favorite songs When they played I'd sing along, it made me smile" these lines childhood til now
Brings back so many childhood memories of me and my mummy singing together from the top of our lungs while helping her with the hose hold chores,how I miss her so until we meet again my angel 🙏♥️
When I was young I'd listen to the radio Waitin' for my favorite songs When they played I'd sing along It made me smile. Those were such happy times And not so long ago How I wondered where they'd gone But they're back again Just like a long lost friend All the songs I loved so well. Every Sha-la-la-la Every Wo-o-wo-o Still shines Every shing-a-ling-a-ling That they're startin' to sing's So fine. When they get to the part Where he's breakin' her heart It can really make me cry Just like before It's yesterday once more. Lookin' back on how it was In years gone by And the good times that I had Makes today seem rather sad So much has changed. It was songs of love that I would sing to then And I'd memorize each word Those old melodies Still sound so good to me As they melt the years away. Every Sha-la-la-la Every Wo-o-wo-o Still shines Every shing-a-ling-a-ling That they're startin' to sing's So fine. All my best memories Come back clearly to me Some can even make me cry. Just like before It's yesterday once more.
this song reminds me of my mom who passed away 2019. She would always sing this song when I was a kid. reminiscing my childhood with my mom by listening this song. Never gets old love the songs of Carpenters.
My goodness that girl had a voice like no other. I remember them on the old AM Radio as a kid. Those songs are so nostalgic. So sad she left this world way too soon the way she did. There has never been a voice any better than hers. RIP Karen. Your unique voice will never be forgotten.
A song that I listened 12 years ago, but still manage to remember all the lyrics and sing along with it whenever I hear it. The real definition of a MASTERPIECE song. 🥹
Pure talent expression here with a soulful Voice. Thank you for your existence Karen, you're remembered trough your voice. Bringing me back childhood faded memories.
Karen (the singer) always reminded me of my grandma. Sadly she passed away when I was 10. I just play any carpenters song every time i want to remember her and the memories that she and i made when she was still with us. But i know in heaven my grandma and Karen is singing this song. And i find that very beautiful.
Her voice is golden and I feel every word in this song. I wonder where my happy days have gone. As I grow older, I feel more sad. It’s songs like this that makes me feel better….. beautiful
Love this it truly reminds me of the good times in this era when everything was beautiful and calm just family times no fuss no worries 🙏💔💖😇 rest in peace dad and mum and enjoy your yesterday's once more 💕🙏💝
I remember when this song playing on my dad's car radio everytime we're going to see our relatives. This song always hit when we're arrived in this town where neon lights are turned on.

@@indgamers2109 it's okay bud! We should cheerish and remember those memories and keep moving forward because who knows, maybe there are also more precious memories that's about to happen ❤️
Heard this song playing from an old radio yesterday while I was on my way home. By listening to its lyrics, Karen disenchanted my thoughts from reality temporarily and persuaded me to be a passenger onto a retrospective train whose sole purpose of travel was to relive memories. I got a glimpse of random mental souvenirs in every station as it proceeded to move. Those memories I have witnessed from that wonderful scenery were, in reality, forgotten for so long due to the constant movement of time. Tears are already in progress underneath my eyes as I saw my younger self once again playing with my childhood friends whom I am fond with, I have also seen myself in college days consuming a vast amount of alcohol just after enduring a day of insipidity from school. I too saw my Grandparents upraiding my 4-year old self about my mischeivous behavior. How often did they scold me, I did not know. There were some terminals that reminded me of my previous romance, wasted opportunities that should have been pursued, and mistakes as a consequence of immaturity. Prowling along from these series of recollection saddened me for I quickly realized that all of the individuals that I valued the most had turned into specters. Some of them vanished, ventured to a different chapter of their lives, and some of them are dead. Those days that I too cherished at so great a length will never go back no matter what happens, and my fiery passion to obtain my dreams when I was a child will retain itself as a.. dream plastered eternally inside my mind. Painful as it is for me, but that is reality. It just terrified me for a moment because all these memories were already submerged to my unconscious and it just took one song to bring these everything back to life. Sometimes I wonder if songs are a product of witchcraft, a spontaneous creation bestowed from atop, or an arsenal for marionettes like me--who became accustomed to a mechanical lifestyle imposed by our society.
Wow! what beautiful and excellent words to describe one's happy memories! You're so good in your thoughts here. I kept reading your lines all over again and again . . Yes, it that lovely memories which shaped our hearts and mind, of what we are now in the present . . Thank you for your beautiful thoughts here. Merci beaucoup. Salutations du Canada. 😀🙂
This became my favorite song because of you. I hope you find your self happy all the times. I am always rooting for you! If happens that u read this, let me know hahahaha
I'm a boy in 60's n 70's into Motown on my transistor AM 📻 radio but when Karen Carpenter song came on I thought what a beautiful voice like no other 2022 I still think so⚘️
I was in a music class and my teacher played this song for us in a break time. Bring back all my childhood memories and this song still the best! Happy 2022!! 36
I'm not sure how I'm going to begin. But I just wanted to say how I felt about this song. My mother has a sister and is my aunt. Mercy is her name. She looked after us alongside our grandmother for over a decade. We moved into their home when our parents began to travel abroad to escape the hardships of life and to provide for our future. I am aware of my aunt's and grandmother's sacrifices. Aunt Mercy loves collecting cassette tapes, the majority of which contain Carpenters songs. She has had a stereo in which she can play those. I can hear the Carpenters every morning when I wake up. That's most likely her favorite. I've heard a lot of songs by this band, but 'Yesterday Once More' stands out to me. That is something I hear every morning. The joy of feeling because I hear music when I wake up in the morning. Auntie was very nice, not stingy, and very generous. My siblings and I learned to be humble and simple because this is how She and Grandma trained us. We had good and unforgettable memories. Unfortunately, She died this June due to the heart enlargement. The agony of knowing she was no longer with us. I witnessed her death but did nothing to help her. So every time I hear this song, it makes me cry and sad. I cannot linger. But this is the only way I remember her, and I can't do anything because she's no longer alive. Please forgive me, aunt. Thank you for everything you've done for the three of us. We will never forget you and will always be proud of you for what you have done for us. Thank you very much, Aunt Mercy. I hope to see you again in another lifetime. If I had to pick someone to be my aunt, it would be you, just like the title of the song 'Yesterday Once More.' I'm sorry, aunt; I love you.
My amazing mom named Mercy too. Its her favorite song too. Every time i want to remember her I always ply this song to remind me of her, i could remember how happy she was listening to this song 2 days before her death. I could see my moms smile for months of fighting cancer. I miss her badly that every time I could hear this song, it makes me tear a lot. Somehow, our loved ones are looking down on us. I hope they’re happy in heaven now. No more pain for them. :)
ah syet. i always listen to this song and bring back my mothers memories, its been 11yrs since she passed away it still fresh for me like yesterday. i miss you mama.❤
I remember the instrumental version of this song was in my father's old flip phone from 2 decades ago...I'd remember the tune but have not been able to remember the name of the song up until now. The tune brings back nostalgia from when I was a kid playing with my father's flip phone, but I had never expected the lyrics to be about nostalgia from the past!
Funny how when your young time seems to slows down you can't wait to get older but this song is the opposite it never gets old. I'm counting on the new generation of today to keep it going.
September 2024 I'm always listening even during working time because my mother this the one favourites songs seen I'm baby❤❤❤❤thank u for uploading admin 🇲🇾🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Im still pretty young and whenever i blast this on our house my mom would peek over her room and join on singing me haha it’s so cute. My dad even told her once that we were alike for having the same music taste, nothing ever beats old songs like these imo
It's hard to move on, lalo na kung minahal mo ng sobra 'yung tao. Imagine, you already planned your future together. This person is always with you, through your ups and downs. Hindi nagsasawang iparamdam sa'yo na mahal ka niya, and with that masyado kang nakampante. You depend yourself to that person, to the point na hindi mo iniisip na anytime pwede ka niyang iwan. You feel so lonely, and lifeless. Waking up being alone, no more texts, calls, i love you's, from this person. So you're wishing this person to come back, to make things right. But it hurts when you know that it won't happen anymore.
