Just for your guys INFO, As Enigma has stated some of these have KARAOKE videos...but I don't count those as videos like the other ones.

Alot of these selections have Kareoke(sp?) videos for them so I went with Happy because I love the song and Karen played drums on the track so if they incorporated some footage of Karen playing drums to this song in the video I would love to see that.

I would love to have seen how Rode Ode had been played out. I can certainly picture it - I mean, the song itself tells the story - The video opens with Karen on the bus, staring out the window singing "I've been on this lonely road so long, does anybody know where it goes" - pan to road sign - "I remember the last time the signs pointed home, a month ago" - pan to outside of hotel, Karen walking around with her boom box - "rented cars and empty motel rooms lead you everywhere but home" - many motels montage/many driving scenes montage - pan to large stadium with Carpenters onstage in full regalia, Karen out front, Richard on the side as always - pan to audience "Crowds of people shouting how they love the show - they don't know!!!" And, so it goes. It would be a great visual - very easily assembled, as the lyrics tell the ENTIRE story from start to finish. I can see it beautifully filmed from coast to coast, with all the "hot spots" - downtown LA, Times Square, and country to country with all the major well-known shots in London, Japan, etc. shown in various sequences. Wow - what a great video this one would have been. Could have used both Karen, Rich, and the band and crew, too. Maybe even a shot of Harold and Agnes somewhere in here. Just thinking out loud. Tim

Surprise, surprise...SOLITAIRE is my choice. You have a guy in the video who is lonely, and you see people around him living and having lives...and during the video you have Karen singing this song in a smokey bar, with piano accompaniement, while he is in the audience, watching everything go up in smoke (a little hope)...

%?? %?? %?? These are all good contenders for a music video. I like what Enigma had to say about "Happy". It would be great to see Karen playing the drums in this video. And I just love this upbeat happy go lucky song. for the longest time it was my favorite on "Horizon". My choice though was "Road Ode". The song tells a story and is a natural for a video. I like Tim's idea for the video. Also the fact that this is one of my ten most favorite Carpenters songs helps.

I will vote for "Goodbye to Love." Since Cam took Solitaire, I think GTL is such a stark, bare, emotional song, that even a performance video or even a live one, would be awesome. The same could be said for Solitaire...

I chose "Happy". That may not have been a big hit but I think it would have been fun to make with the gambling theme. "You can deal me in this time around".......
They could have had a card game going on with Karen singing around the players or even playing herself.

Tim Yes,I agree.This song is good for a video.It is great to see Karen staring out of the window and start to sing.
