Hi All,
I am listening to this song taken from 1983's VOICE OF THE HEART and love this song. It has such a darker edged feel to it, and Karen's sparkling vocal comes on, very deep with darker feeling. I love it! The force and the passion at which she sings it shows what a dynamite singer she is! Her voice sounds strong and firm! What a powerful song! I love the backing vocals of Karen with her lead, adding to the intensity.
My thoughts,
Cameron

It's a great song. Richard compared it to "Hurting Each Other", and I can see the similarities in style. But this tune is so epic.
By the way, what was the last song Karen sang or recorded?

I do not see the simularity between this song and Hurting Each Other but this is a very nice song and Karens vocal interpretation of this song is a bit different which makes it interesting as well.  Mariah the last song Karen ever recorded was the lead off track to VOTH called Now another beautiful song.   |

 I think the reason Richard compared the two songs is because they were both originally lesser known recordings by Ruby and the Romantics of "Our Day Will Come" fame. I love "You Baby Doesn't Love You Anymore" although I am partial to "Hurting Each Other". ...just my thoughts...

???I agree it's a wonderful song and the way Karen's voice goes from low to high and with such energy and emotion...is terrific! :-[I probably had heard it before way back when, but, to me I heard it first when I got the Interpretations-25th Anniv. album(I think that's the one). At times, my speakers on my computer act up or sounds just don't come out very well. I looked up the words to it on the metrolyrics page (which I like to do anyway,) and glad I did. My ears ain't what they used to be I will admit.... |

I really like the musical arrangement on this song. The sound of the horns and everything put together really surrounds Karen's voice beautifully. It carried a nice fresh sound for the Carpenters.
I also like "Prime Time Love" from "Voice Of The Heart" quite a bit.

I am glad this song found its way on to the Gold CD. I play that one all the time and I perk up every time I hear this song. It is definitely a darker reading by Karen and I love the lower end of her register being used.  |

Cam - this topic has made me take a few more listens to this song and I really must say that I like it more and more each time I hear it. It has a classy sound to it and I like the way the song builds in momentum.

wonderful song. This is one of the Carpenters best of their later works. Karen's voice is awesome. |
