Hi Guys, Right now I am listening to ALL YOU GET FROM LOVE IS A LOVE SONG. Not my favorite CARPENTERS song, but I enjoy watching the video of it, and occasionally listening to it.
You know, where Karen sings "To nowhere," I had always thought she was saying "to Norway." This was until I was able to read the lyrics.
Another one that I read of misheard lyrics was that "Written with a broken arm" was really, "Written with a broken heart.
I love the background vocals Julia Tillman and Maxine Waters(is that their correct name?) blended with Karen. I always wonder what their thoughts would be with singing with someone as fantastic like Karen...
A wonderful pleasing song!!
My thoughts, Cameron

Cam- I used to get the lyrics wrong, too-the same way that you did. I was 11 when the album came out and used to call the song, "it's a dirty old shame..."
My late uncle bought Passage for me that Christmas. He is the one that introduced my family to the Carpenters in the early 70's and helped make them life long favorites. When I pull out the old albums, I usually think of him and a lot of nice memories....

Hi,Cam and moe; This is actually one of my very Favorite Carpenters songs!! I absolutely love the cool arrangement and the Horn in it!! It has always reminded me for some odd reason of the song "COPACABANA" by Barry Manilow..Not the lyrics-but the musical arrangement..Steve

I like AYGFLIALS I find it uplifting and because Karen semed to be having such a good time making the video this song always makes me happy. I also like the background vocals by the Carpettes (I think thats what they were called) thought it made the song different in a good way. A nice. happy. uplifting and light hearted song I really like it, especially the video!

"All You Get From Love Is a Love Song" is an all-time favorite for me. I remember when I first heard it on the radio, I was floored. It was so different and upbeat and I loved it immediately.

Me too..., one of my favorites. It's in my top 20 of The Carpenters. Up lifting song with superb arrangements by Richard. I just love Karen's facial expression when she sings the part ''It's got you layin' up nights''..., in the video. I love you Karen... Roland C.

Hi All, I think that the CARPETTES were introduced on the 1981 MADE IN AMERICA album, as the Carpettes. Because it says, Karen Carpenter and the Carpettes.

I was just listening to this song in my car, on my way back home from a business meeting. I just love this song. It's so vibrant and up sounding. Karen did such a wonderful job singing this one and the band was in tip top form. And kudos to Steve Eaton for writing such a great song. btw Eaton's recording of the song is more laid back and kind of sounds like Kenny Loggins.
