@@ Here's an interesting thought. the Carpenters really prduced a varied catalog of music. What are some songs that you can think of that are completely opposite of each other? Here's one combination I came up with: "Mr. Guder" and "Prime Time Love". "Guder" is so very 70's and has a slight jazz feel to it. It has that great vocal trade off with Karen and Richard at the end. It's a great song. "Prime Time Love" is very 80's pop. It's a slick and polished song. The vocals are fairly laid back. Even lyrically the songs are opposite from each other.  |

???hmmm Good idea...maybe Goodbye to Love and Only Yesterday..
As far as lyrics go and perhaps the rythim of of them are opposite...
G-bye she's saying she's pretty much throwing in the towel as far as love goes
whereas with Only Yest. ...she's found someone to love..
and Crescent Noon and Only Yest. also... ;D

Two that come to mind are I Can Dream Can't I from Horizon and (Want You) Back In My Life Again from MIA.
In addition to being very different musical styles the first song tells of longing for a love that cannot be while the second song tells of wanting a love back that was lost.

Very good choices Enigma. "I Can Dream Can't I" and "(Want You) Back In My Life Again" definitely very opposite of each other. |

 How about "I just fall in love again" and "Man Smart, Woman Smarter." "I just fall" is a classic Carpenters' ballad; beautiful and hopeful, with a lush arrangement. "Man Smart" is a total opposite rocker with major attitude! Even more amazing is that these 2 opposites are on the same CD. That says how amazingly diverse "Passage" is.

Hi All,
Another one could be SING and I CAN'T MAKE MUSIC...or GOOFUS and I CAN'T MAKE MUSIC...
DON'T WORRY THAT IT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR ANYONE ELSE TO HEAR, JUST SING, SING A SONG...
I CAN'T MAKE MUSIC, I CAN"T MAKE RHYME, NO I CAN'T DO ANYTHING ...
Kinda opposites I think...
OR....From I"VE GOT RHYTHM....I've got music...from MUSIC MUSIC MUSIC...to I CAN'T MAKE MUSIC...(see above mentionned lyric)
My thoughts,
Cam
