LOOK TO YOUR DREAMS...song

[cam83]

A poignant song. Her vocal reading is incredible. It is such a shame she never recorded a double album of standards...or a double album of jazzy readings...she could have sung anything...she had such a vocal with taffy-caramel feel to it...soothing, tasty, sticky, and could stretch apart up and down, like her vocal range with such ease...No wonder this was Agnes Carpenter's favorite song. It's one of mine. I love the phrase..."Look to your dreams and tomorrow may be, better for you and MEEEEEE! The future may say, blame blind yesterday, for taking dreams away, they could mean more than they seem..." Her voice moves me beyond words...sometimes I cannot express it clearly...and the ending...with the fade out of piano...is touching and sad...for her voice(on that song) is silenced...and Richard is all alone...

My thoughts,
Cameron

Yes,I love this song very much.Actually,I would like to ask, what is the meaning of 'The future may say, blame blind yesterday, for taking dreams away'? Is blame blind a special English phrase?

Hi Ming,
I think what they are trying to say in that song is that YESTERDAY is BLIND. Because it took dreams away...If that makes any sense. That yesterday was not able to know that it took dreams away from that person, as they didn't see(hence them being blind...figuratively speaking)

this song really makes me think of Karen, it starts out with alittle humor " its asking for trouble just watching the 6 o'clock news" like Karen was, then how she still holds on to her childhood dreams to keep on keeping on not to give up your dreams even tho its not the in thing I get the chill factor,just hearing Karen sing this song Karen truely is the greatest vocalist ever BRAVO

Cam you said is so well I agree with your description of Karens voice. The immagry in the lyrics as well as Karens reading really make this song special. The piano at the end of this song kills me it really is as if Karens spirit has flown leaving Richard behind alone at his piano a haunting reality and sums up the feeling of Karen not being with us; to me it does.
