I have always loved this song! I feel that Karen gives a poignant reading. It's an elegant song, but very simple beginning. You concentrate on her voice and what she is saying. You can tell that she is a master at crafting her song, adding the pain she is conveying. I wish we had a video for this song, or at least, a live recording of this song. I know that some people think A KIND OF HUSH album, which this song comes from is a boring album, but I have always felt this was one of the classiest albums(behind the CLOSE TO YOU and CARPENTERS albums). Her voice just oozes out wonderful raw emotion that no one else could do. I also think that the album cover is gorgeous. HORIZON is nice, but A KIND OF HUSH album cover looks great, and the design is nice. I love the inner pic of Karen and Richard. She looks so beautiful!!
My thoughts,
Cameron L

Hi Cameron I've been playing this song a lot lately. Its such a good song. Karen's voice is more laid back and easy going.

In 1976 my family moved to another city and I stayed some days in the totally empty house while I finished the semester in the university.
I had an 8 track cassette player and listened every night that song.
Can you imagen the emotion that song transmited to me in that situation?
One of my very favorite and unforgettable C's songs.

also one of my most favorite songs. I usually play this one two or three times when listening to A Kind Of Hush.

???yes, another great song. Karen again just has that special way of personalizing the song. It's also a kind of sad song. It's meaning and words are from one who knows their love for someone has ended, but yet truly wants to feel it again.
I love the Kind of Hush album as well as all the ones I know about or have. I played the C's quite a bit growing up and was about 16 when Kind of Hush came out. The Kind of Hush song, of course was familiar from when it was recorded first by another group. At the time, that particular song got to me because I steadily dated a guy off and on all through hi sch., he was very shy and I was too, and we were more just like friends.
He liked me more though than vice versa. But when I heard Kind of Hush I liked to imagine that the two of us were in love.
Plus there were at times, a lot of "hushes" when we were together since we would run out of things to talk about and we really didn't want much physical contact unlike most couples.
I am grateful to have had him as a loyal friend and we really cared for each other.
Anyway, that's my thoughts when I think of that album.
And there were a few times that I had wished we could've gotten together "one more time for the good times".

I don't think "A Kind Of Hush" is boring. It's one of my favorite C's albums. But basically all their albums are favorites of mine. Though I do have a special love for "Horizon", "A Kind Of Hush" and "Passage". Those were the years I was coming into my own as far as musical tastes and becoming a teenager (I was 16 in 1976), I had my first car and made all kinds of neat new friends in high school. This was a special time in my life and these three albums were there throughout all my good times and growing pains.
