???I also really love those songs...I don't recall where I bought the album A Kind of Hush..but I'm sure it wasn't long after it came out. Most of my allowances...lot of them...went to saving up to buy records. I love the beautiful and unique Kind of Hush album cover with the "wet" writing in the window and the great picture of R. and Karen.I suppose like so many then and now...but especially when I was a teen...I really tended to link the words of the love songs to whoever at the time I had a crush on or whoever the guy was that I was going with.
I dated off and on the same guy all through high school and then some in the college yrs. When I think of the song You
I really like it but that particular guy I went with ...well, I was a friend with him though he liked me more than vice versa.
So, You in my mind I applied to others I really liked more.
I like Sandy...I knew a girl named Sandy and she was sweet and cute and I think of her when I hear that...I don't think of her in a romantic way...unfortunately, she was engaged to one of the guys I really wished had looked my way. But I didn't think any jealous thoughts..just how lucky that she had him.
Every time I hear the song A Kind of Hush though, I think of the one I dated...even though we didn't fall in love...I guess just the part that says there's a kind of hush and nobody else in sight...
I got and still do get a good feeling when I hear that one...because I did consider myself lucky to be with such a nice guy and got to go places and etc.

Hi smoothie2!
I loved hearing your thoughts! I can really relate to what you're talking about. For me, music including Carpenters music, is a way for me to drift away and fantasize about guys that I have a crush on. And yes, most of the guys I've had feelings for have been taken already, so needless to say I've gotten quite green with envy at the women lucky enough to have the men that I like. But I guess that's a part of life. It can be bitter sweet sometimes. But music is just such a wonderful thing when it comes to being in love. You know, sometimes the words of a song don't even have to apply to what you're feeling; sometimes it can be a certain tone, or shuffle, or sound of the song that reminds you of a person or place. I find that happens to me a lot. I'm sure it happens to all of us at one time or another.
Have you ever been to a live concert of the Carpenters smoothie2? I'm still so jealous of my parents because they got to go to a concert in the early 70's. My mom described how Karen came out singing on the stage. Oh, that must have been such a wonderful experience!!
