EVE song

[cam83]

Hello Everyone,
Of the TICKET TO RIDE album, the songs EVE and SOMEDAY are my favorites. Songs that really hit me deeply are songs that Karen sings from the heart, and I am able to connect with. EVE is just a dark, wonderful song. I love that they show this song on the CBS movie, THE KAREN CARPENTER STORY. It's kind of a song, that I feel topic wise, doesn't go anywhere, but it's still a great type of song. It reminds me of CRESCENT NOON, of which I adore too. Don't get me wrong, I love these kinds of songs. I love to listen to them over and over again, and try to imagine the images that come thru.

My thoughts,
Cameron

As far as history behind "Eve" there really isn't much to talk about. It doesn't have a big story behind it like songs like "Goodbye To Love", "Calling Occupants...", "Only Yesterday", etc.

But the interesting thing about "Eve" is that all these years it has remained a perrennial favorite amongst Carpenters fans. Karen's deep rich voice is explored wonderfully on this song, and Richard's dark musical arrangement lends to the somewhat mysterious sound.

I had not heard the song Eve until I heard it on the Reflections cd. I do like the song even though it is sad. It may not have any deep meaning other than the image that comes to my mind is of someone who sees this friend or an aquaintance, who is very sad. And he or she wants so much to help that person to be happy and yet they know they can't.
As with other songs of this nature, I think it reflects the real Karen during those yrs. of fighting all the stressors in her life.
well, aren't I the Philosopher>>>?....ha...
I just think Karen especially had the voice for these songs because she was sad inside.

A dark song. This is one of three from Ticket To Ride that I play regularly. I also like All Of My Life and Ticket To Ride.
