 Continuing with the songs which are generally the favorite from each album. What do you think about "I Need To Be In Love" from the 1976 album "A Kind Of Hush"? |

Sorry everybody and sorry Karen, because this was Karen favorite song after Goodbye To Love, BUT, this song never made think "WOW", it never touched me, I never cared of it and I always skip it. It contains so much chorus and I find it over elaborated.
It would be better only Karen and piano.

I'm in! I've always loved this song....it's moving! I think this song speaks to my heart on many different levels. Karen's voice can express the emotions of a heart unlike any other -- she takes me inside myself, everytime.....and this song is no exception!

I went with I love it as well. This is one of my favorite songs off AKOH it is a real highlight on the record. The personal nature of this somg makes it all the more touching and though the arrangement may be a little overdone I like it. A really great song!   |

I must admit too, that I NEED TO BE IN LOVE is a nice song, but not a great song. Yes, I know that it is one of Karen's FAVE songs of all time...but it's a bit slow, very beautiful but...just doesn't do anything too much for me...a bit of a draggy song.
My thoughts,
Cameron

I also went with an "It's Okay". The song is without a doubt an absolutely beautiful song. Karen's vocal is outstanding and Richard's arrangement is excellent. This song is excellent all the way through, but for some reason it doesn't capture me 100%. Though it's still a great listen. |

It doesn't break any new ground, nor does it exercise Karen's vocal range like, say, "Solitaire". It turned out be a "beacon" for how she was actually feeling at the time. As far as a "period" song goes, it gets lumped in with tunes like "Don't Give Up On Us, Baby", "Stand Tall", and that tune by David Gates I can't think of the title to right now.

 Oddly, this one gets just an "it's okay" from me, as well. I am aware this was Karen's favorite song, and I know many of you really love it. I have always enjoyed the song, myself, but I can't honestly say it 's one of my favorites. I'm not sure why, exactly. Karen sings it beautifully, and the melody is sweet and pure. But, perhaps as Cam said, it's a bit draggy and it just doesn't pump me up like so many of the other tunes do. Tim

???I agree that it doesn't do a lot for me either. It's okay. The best part to me is the beginning with such a sweet start with the harp. ;D |
