LOOK TO YOUR DREAMS

[cam83]

Hi All,
I really enjoy this song and the song has a nice, pleasant feel to it. Karen's vocals are warm and soothing. The lyrics are poignant. Apparently, this was Agnes Carpenter's favorite song. I love how Karen just soars in this song...this song shows that this girl was capable of singing, more than any other female singer of her generation...save perhaps Barbra Streisand.
The ending is sad. You hear the piano fade out. I am sure that when Richard finished this song and heard it in playback, there must have been tears. NOW and LOOK TO YOUR DREAMS begin and close the collection wonderfully. Although, I wonder if AT THE END OF A SONG would have been more appropriate...

My thoughts,
Cameron

Cam, this is such a great song. I love the first line, as I think it sums up Karen in terms of romanticism - "To say I'm romantic would be quite semantically true." The melody of this tune is so beautiful, and you're so right on when you call it poignant - "Tomorrow may say blame blind yesterday for taking dreams away - They could mean more than they seem". And, truer words were never spoken (or sung, as it were).

Thanks for your thoughts on this.

I've always felt "Look to your Dreams" was one of the Carpenters' best lyrics. I really like what this song is saying.

This song is a classic. It would be great if someone used this for a movie or TV show theme. I would bet that it would be warmly accepted by the public! A great song is always a great song!

great song, great vocal, great arrangement

Just my thought on this song for what they are worth. I have to say this is not at the top of my favorites list but its not bad either. I found the arrangement a little overblown and it seemed too obvious to me that there was a lone vocal and later arrangement and backing vocals instruments etc I could almost separate the vocal track from the added parts entirely. I can however see how this song had to be finished by Richard its is a near flawless vocal smooth, silky and just flows from start to finish Karen did a great job as usual. For me its the vocal all the way on this song its the highlight for me. A pleasant listen I do like it just don't love it.
