Picture Game: Pic #8

[Rick Henry]

Which Carpenters song do you think of upon seeing this picture?

[Ming]

I think of 'I need to be in love'. I remember this song has a video . In the video, Karen and Richard is travelling by plane. I don't know why this picture makes me think of the airport. So I think of ' I need to be in love.'

[enigma]

I will go with Top Of The World for this picture. Both Karen and Richard appear happy and on top of the world in this shot like at that moment it just does not get any better than this.

Hey Cam would love to get your input on which songs come to mind when you see both Pics #8 and #7. I always enjoy your comments.

Tim, Rob, Ken, Kathy, Beth, Mary Ann what does this song say to you.

I'll come back with my thoughts on this one.

Well there's TWO SIDES to every situation...

Even though the song This Masquerade is not such an upbeat song whereas R. and K. are obviously happy in this pic., I first think of Masquerade I guess because of their sunglasses. and then I also think of Goofus because they may feel kinda goofus as they are hurried probably through a crowd. I surely love to see both of them when they're genuinely happy...
Karen is just exhilirated and radiant!

This photo reminds me of the Now and Then era, so I'll say Yesterday Once More..... Imagine that.

I've had a tough time thinking of a song to go with this picture. At first I thought of "This Masquerade" because they're wearing the dark sunglasses. but really because Richard looks like a cool hotrodder with those sunglasses I'm inclined to go with "Deadman's Curve". So, I guess I have two choices.

Only Yesterday

[beaner]

Well, this looks to be around the time of the "A Song For You" album so I'll go with the this song also.

[YesterdayOnceMore]

Now I know why this reminds me of the Now and Then era. If any of you have the Now and Then songbook, on the very last page is the photo of Karen and Richard, and Rich has on this particular striped turtleneck. Karen is sitting in her Director's chair, while Richard is standing behind her, with his hand on his Director's chair - which, by the way, were both gifts from Carol Burnett when they guested on her show - I'm sure you all knew that tidbit. Anyway - that's why this struck me as the Now and Then era, because a similar photo is in that music book.

Ciao!

I'm going to go with Close To You because it represents the song that sent their career into the outer stratosphere. They both look very successful and happy about it. They are the picture of confidence. This is a wonderful way to remember both of them. A great and happy picture.

???Indeed Rick!...Deadman's Cur.
really is a splendid song to go with that! I wouldn't have ever thought of that one.
Which makes me think...what brand of sunglasses is Karen wearing there? I've surely seen other pics. with those on her...? Did she ever have to have glasses....or wear contacts?...oh well just a thought..
