Hi All, I am listening to INVOCATION. What a gem this song is. You get to hear very clearly, all Carpenters harmonies and vocals and the choir like sound.
For those eyes who would see(you hear a lead Karen) Render them in faith to me(you hear about 2 Karens and 1 Richard) For all those seeking peace(you hear 2 or 3 Karens and you can hear the harmony on the word PEACE...very beautiful) In my arms your strife shall cease and place in me the agony you bear. Nothing can impair(on Impair you hear Richard harmonize with himself) The perfect love I bring(all Karen) In a simple offering(several part harmony)In a simple offering.
I wish they had done an album of religious like, choir like songs...done in this same vein, same style, same lyric style.
My thoughts, Cameron

Yes both "Invocation" and "Benediction" are beautiful and inspiring pieces. They did such a remarkable job with these songs in the early stages of their career, I can only imaginer what they could have done a few years later with this sort of sound. The Carpenters really started off in a grandiose manner. They were so different from anybody else in 1969.

Oh gosh I love "Invocation!" &^ What a wonderful way to begin a debut album. Thank you for this topic Cam! I remember when I heard "Invocation" for the first time, my heart took a huge leap with astonishment and chills when the first harmony from Karen and Richard came out after Karen's initial ("For those eyes...."). I just thought, WOW It is a short song but so beautiful and sweet!
