Hi All,
Now, I am listening to YESTERDAY ONCE MORE. It's a difficult song to sing, in terms of the opening notes that Karen sings, as deep. Her voice sounds sublime, I like how she pronounces the word-WAITIN'- and -SMILE...It kinda is a sad song, looking back at yesterday...at least, that's how I feel, when I hear it. I just love the-Every sha la la las and shing a ling a ling's...very neat. The harmonies are out of this world!!

I will always have a spot in my heart for this song. It was my first exposure to the Carpenters in 1974 when the album first came out I can still vividly remember when it first graced my ears. I used to find it sad as I longed for the era they were referring to (kind of a nastgia(sp) I guess) but now see it as more of a tribute to the heros of the Carpenters I still do find it sad now and then (no pun intended). This song is brilliantly done, its original and among Karens best vocal perfomances another classic that I never seem to tire of. Again I love this song!   |

^^ I named my last band Yesterday Once More, because we played lots of the old standards, Carpenters (OF COURSE), and many other groups like the Eagles, Pink Floyd, Chicago, etc. It was a fun group. Yesterday Once More is another favorite, that's for sure. I remember when the Now and Then album came out - I had just gone on the road for the first time with the jazz singer, and the band didn't want to play anything but Jazz. However, I was in the hospital and got the album to listen to while recovering until I could re-join the band. I listened to it alright - about a thousand and one times. So, when I rejoined the band, I knew all those tunes, and guess what we learned? You guessed it - Yesterday Once More. I'm with you, Enigma - I can listen to it over and over and over again. ~Best, Tim  |
