Which Carpenters song comes to your mind when you see these colors: GREENBLUEREDBROWNPINKPURPLEYELLOWBLACKORANGEGOLD GREEN: Only Yesterday - Any song from "Horizon" reminds me of green because of the album cover. But I especially relate "Only Yesterday" with green because of it's upbeat nature and also because the video was shot outside and you see a lot of greenery in it. BLUE: Rainy Days And Mondays - This is a blue song. It's deep and dark. RED: A Song For You - I think of red when I hear "A Song for You" because of the album's red cover. Also red is an urgent color and this song has a sense of urgency about it. BROWN: Crescent Noon - Because of the lyrics; "Green September burned to October brown". I guess I could relate it to green also, but this song is more of a brown song. It's a bit darker and has a dry sense about it. PINK: Beechwood 4-5789 - For some reason this is a pink song to me. It's fluffy, cute, and upbeat. PURPLE: I Can Dream Can't I - Purple is a majestic color and "I Can Dream Can't I" is a majestic song. YELLOW: Top Of the world - This is a sunshiny song. BLACK: Superstar - This is most possibly the Carpenters' deepest darkest song - love it. ORANGE: Eventide - This song is about the sunset, and the sunset is orange. GOLD: Close To you - because this was the Carpenters first song (record) to be certified GOLD.

Oooooh, what a neat idea Rick! You and I have two of them in common.
Okay, here goes:
Green - 1st one to come to mind is G for "Goofus."
Blue - I think of the blue sky and if I was there I'd be "On Top of the World."
Red - Same as you Rick, I chose "A Song For You" after their album with the big red heart.
Brown - I choose "A Kind of Hush" as the album has a brown frame to it and there are trees in the pictures, etc.
Pink - Pink has always been the color for a girl or woman so I think of "Strength of a Woman."
Purple - "Lovelines" is one of the buildings featured in my Carpenterville layout and the sign I made for it has a lot of purple in it.
Yellow - "B'wanna She No Home" cause B'wanna sounds a little like banana and a banana is yellow.
Black - "Goodbye to Love" has always been a dark tune to me but yet one of my favorites too.
Orange - I think of orange and tropical fruit; where is a place I would find tropical fruit? Well, Honolulu, of course so I have to say "Honolulu City Lights."
Gold - I agreed with you on this. No doubt for me. Right away it is "Close to You."TEXTTEXTTEXTTEXTTEXTTEXTTEXTTEXTTEXTTEXT

This IS a nifty Thread! OK- I purposely did NOT scroll down to see your answers until after I did mine -- Once I did I saw there were some pretty good reasons I could have picked other songs!! LOL I chose to take the approach I learned from psychiatrists and their silly black ink splatter cards. You know -- Say the first thing that comes into your mind sort of thing. (by the way I have taken at least six of those tests with six different psychiatrists over the years, and despite my continued abnormal behavior I am still listed as NOT being psychotic - I just don't understand it!!! So here it goes. No brilliant observations as to why I chose these - I refuse to analyze it!! :)LOL (Gosh I can't remember the order of the colors -- isn't that ANOTHER test??! Sorry if I mix up the order folks....) Green - Cresecent Noon Brown -Only yesterday Red- All you get from Love is a Love Song Yellow- Those Good Ole' Dreams (Maybe this one is because of Karen's yellow outfit - one of my favorite out.... HEY I said I wasn't going to analyze these!! "Smack") Orange- Top Of the world Pink- Crystal Lullaby Purple-Don't cry For Me Argentina Black-Desperado Gold-Suntory Pop Jingle (I have NO IDEA!) Right then Chums, can't wait to see what the rest of you blokes think up! This is fun! Thanks Rick! Hugs to all, Tracey

Here are my picks... GREEN- Sing (The sheet music reminds me of the color green because Karen and Richard are outside) BLUE- Superstar (Sounds like a "blue" type of song) RED- Goodbye to Love (Not quite sure why I picked this one for the color red...) BROWN- Mr. Guder (It seems to fit well with the color brown) PINK- We've Only Just Begun (This one would fit better with the color white, I think, but pink suits this song just as well) PURPLE- I Won't Last A Day Without You (Purple's my favorite color and "I Won't Last A Day Without You" is one of my favorite Carpenters' songs) YELLOW- Only Yesterday (Reminds me of a sunset...a mix between yellow and orange) BLACK- I Need to be In Love (A sweet, yet dark sort of song) ORANGE- Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft (Orange to me is kind of an "out there" color, and "Occupants" is definitely an "out there" type of song. I still like it though, very unique) GOLD- Sweet, Sweet Smile (Gold, I think, is probably the best color to represent this song) I didn't look at anyone else's before I picked these, so these are completely my own opinion...

For now...I jotted down a few songs and put my thoughts in on them: Close to You: "the stardust" makes me think of glittery stuff falling around and so I think of yellow for that
We've Only just Begun: "the rising sun" gold but also white because of "white lace and promises" Calling Occupants green because of green "martians" or aliens Road Ode: I really like the song...but it denotes feelings of loneliness, homesickness, and being alone...so I think it reminds me of a blue song. Rainy days: blue Top of the World and Only Yesterday: yellow happy thoughts Crystal Lullabye and Bless the Beasts and the Children: pink I think of pink as far as babies go ...a sweet color

Green - Leave Yesterday Behind. From the lyrics I feel a sense of green. Like things starting fresh and new. Like in spring all the brown turns green. Blue - Sailing On The Tide. I think of the blue ocean and sky. Red - Because the album (A Song For You) is like a big Valentine and I Won't Last a Day Without You is a good song to dedicate to your valentine. Brown - Hurting Each Other. This song says brown to me. Pink - Crystal Lullaby Purple - Lovelines Yellow - Sing. Bright and cheerful. Black - Superstar. One of my favorite Carpenters songs. It's haunting and mysterious. Orange - Goofus. The lyrics "rustic harmony" make me think orange. Gold - Goodbye To Love. Of all the songs not certified gold, this one should have been. So I certify it song gold. and to add White - Bless The Beasts And Children. White is pure like the innocense of a child.

Hi All, Neat topic. First time I have seen this post. Anyhow...
GREEN-CRESCENT NOON...opening lines..."Green September..."
BLUE-TOP OF THE WORLD...especially the lines about SKY...I think of a blue sky with white puffy clouds
RED-ALL YOU GET FROM LOVE IS A LOVE SONG...for some darn reason, I see and think RED for this song...
BROWN-HURTING EACH OTHER...but that is because I have seen the video and with Karen's cute brown belt, brown eyes, brown hair and brownish-beige pallazzo pants.
PINK-BEECHWOOD 4-5789...I see pink in this song...probably cause the girl nexts to Karen is wearing pink pants...don't know where that one came from but I see pink...plus it's kind of a bubble gun type of song...
PURPLE-Any Karen solo song...reminds me of purple...the purple big armchair, the purple outfit Karen is wearing...
YELLOW-WE'VE ONLY JUST BEGUN...yellow outfit Karen is wearing on BOB HOPE special...as well as theme of new life, sunset etc...watching the signs along the way...highway=yellow line on road...
BLACK-NOW...I associate black with this song...probably because it's last song recorded by Karen.
ORANGE-A KIND OF HUSH album...probably inside album linear notes are on orange background and album cover has some shades of orange
GOLD-SOLITAIRE/AVE MARIA...both are gold performances. Karen just does these songs to pure perfection...vocally speaking. My 2 favorite KAREN performances of ALL TIME
WHITE-TICKET TO RIDE...imagine the white scenery of Squaw Valley singing Ticket to Ride...
My thoughts, Cameron
