We love our Carpenters related games at Carpenters Avenue... so here is a new one for everybody. The game is called Song Connection. To play the game we will begin with a Carpenters (or Carpenters solo) song title. The next person must list a song that is connected or related to it in one way or another. Please give a short description of how the songs relate. After that the next person in line will a song connected to the second song which was listed and so forth. Example: First song listed: We've Only Just Begun The next person lists the song For All We Know With the description of relation being: We've Only Just Begun was a popular wedding song. For All We Know was played during the wedding scene in the movie Lovers and Other Strangers. (both are songs related to weddings). The next person will list a song connected or related to For All We Know (with a brief description). The same person can not go twice in a row, there must be at least one person between your turn. I will start with the song: Top Of The World

All Because Of You
Because We Are In Love
Interestingly enough, both songs have the word "because" in the title but also that Karen sings "close your eyes" in both songs.

If I Had You Another Song Both songs contain a complex and interweaving jazz arrangement at the close of each song. "Another Song" is in the musical arrangement and "If I Had You" is in the vocal arrangement. Both outstanding songs.

"Another Song" is in the musical arrangement and "If I Had You" is in the vocal arrangement. Both outstanding songs. Hey all... we were doing pretty good with this game... let's keep it going... The last song mentioned is: Another Song So what's the connection?

Another Song Crescent Noon
Both Songs use a somehow similiar metaphoric structure: day - night, dark - light, cold - warm..
