Gave it 5 stars....it's an awesomely beautiful song, I love it...It seems to be a little out of place compared to the other songs on the Now and Then, since it's the only solo piano work on it. but it takes my breath away a little each time I hear it.

I haven't listened to "Heather" for many years, which I guess speaks volumes in itself. It's a beautiful album filler, but without Karen's vocal appeal there is simply not enough intrigue to re-visit it often.
2 Stars. L

I've always loved instrumental music- except for Carpenters, it's what I listen to most often. I am intrigued by "Heather"; I've only listened about 8 times but my interest increases each time. My imagination is stretched and stimulated- one of the great benefits of outstanding art of any kind, I guess- and I wonder of the motivation and thoughts of the songwriters, producers and performers. Heather can be a shrub, and if taken that way, I can see the song being of a mysterious nature, based on a geographical environment that places one in a unique place and has influences that may imperceptably permeate the life of a visitor, whose life is changed by the experience. Heather can also be a woman's name, and if taken that way, the impact could be of a life changed by a human friendship- perhaps of keeping commitment when a person is going through an especially difficult period. Maybe in a few more months I'll have a more firm idea- and maybe not!

It is easy to get lost in your daydreams while listening to it ... whether a woman or a plant ( that sounds funny). I love the crescendos and decrescendos and the moving musical line. Heather is soft, but powerful.

I've always felt haunted by the lyrical instrumental "Heather" (NOW AND THEN, 1973). It is such a lovely little chamber piece that was perhaps underappreciated in its time, but has such a classic quality I think it deserves wider recognition. I love the gently thrumming accompaniment, the expressive piano, the tension between the stringed and other instruments. Other than background music for a television commercial "back in the day" with the tagline -- "My wife, I think I'll keep her," the song practically disappeared among the better-known vocals on this charming concept album (which I also think was somewhat underrated).
Times changes -- beauty doesn't -- is "Heather" now ready for a re-examination? I listened to it three times today and as always was struck by Richard Carpenter's creativity, originality and depth of feeling. I think it compares to such post-World War II AM classics as "Autumn Leaves." Have a listen!
