I purchased As Time Goes By last week and cannot stop listening to "Leave Yesterday Behind". Between the incredible lyrics and Karens singing, I'm just stunned! This is one of the most personal songs she ever sang. It's as if she singing directly to me. I have it in repeat mode in my CD player. Has anybody else fallen under the spell of this song?

Yes Rob this is one of my favorite songs from ATGB; a great song. Karen was one of the few singers who had the ability to make the listener think she was singing her songs just for him/her that was one of her many talents and this song is not the only one that envokes that feeling.

Beautiful song... I remember, when I first got *As time goes by* in December 2001, that It was my favorite of the unreleased songs. Begins like *For all we know* with a great *You* feel. I love you Karen... Roland C.

Leave.....is unbelievable work lead from Karen .....you always wonder how some of the other A&M vault material and recordings in Richard's archive sound like ...in just demo / work lead form ..... Richard mentioned this song previously as being too similar to Fred Karlin's classic For All We Know ....clearly this track won over several other As Time Goes By possibles that were also mixed & mastered ....and sadly left unreleased .....

I find Leave Yesterday Behind is quite different from For All We Know. LYB seems more personal to me. I don't think it's just one thing, like the lyrics. It's also the arrangement and of course Karen's reading of the lyrics. FAWK is more polished and chorale like in sound. Irronically FAWK is my all time favorite Carp. song. I guess I might change my mind and go with LYB. To me, it is the most personal song Karen ever recorded. I'm not one to go on and on about things, but this song has really knocked me out!

Hi All, I too adore LEAVE YESTERDAY BEHIND. I had heard it on Kazaa first, but just fell in love with it. It starts out similar to FOR ALL WE KNOW. I love both songs. It's neat to know that LEAVE is a work lead, she is just so natural at it. I have a friend like that, in the way, that she can sing anything and sound quite natural at it. But she too is a big perfectionist. She is a bit of a closet Carpenters fan...ha ha ha. We went on this one trip, and we sang Carpenters songs on the way up. It was neat because she knew all the background and lead vocals so where I might sing along to one background line, she would sing to another and we would join back up. It was kinda neat. Anyways, where was I? Oh yeah, so LEAVE YESTERDAY BEHIND is a gorgeous song.
My thoughts, Cameron

Rainbow Connection used to be my favorite from As Time Goes By, but the more I listen to Leave Yesterday Behind, the more I love it! What a great hidden treasure given to the fans. I hope there are more of them!

You are so right Beth. There's just something about Leave Yesterday Behind. I wish I could have sung it to Karen! She sure could have used some cheering up, love and encouragement. This song speaks directly to my heart. I find it amazing it was a work lead. Her talent never ceases to amaze and astound me.

Oh Beth, I'm sorry you have had a bad week. For whatever it's worth, you've got a friend here in New Jersey who cares about you. I send love and hugs to you. Your friend, Rob

Thanx very much Rob, its nice to know I really needed that Karen was an amazing person for sure, you can read so much in just her eyes, then you hear her voice,and the way she puts meaning in the words and it just goes beyond anything you would have ever thought, Karen was someone who really understood life and she didn't mind sharing it with the fans, she also thought of as friends too, even those she never met some of us, what a wonderful gift GOD has given us, and I truly miss Karen very much
