Makes me cry that such an exquisite talent left us too soon . I blame the insipid and horrid media who were constantly poking fun at her. The media have only gotten worse as the years go by. Despicable people.
Yup, happy 50th anniversary to this song, it was released this time in 1973. (It’s October 2023 as I post my comment.) May it live on for another 50 years! Such a great voice the late Karen Carpenter had; may she RIP. :)
My theme song on the drive home from Children’s Hospital, Columbus, Ohio in October, 1973. I was 9 years old and had just survived my first open heart surgery. It was just me and my mom and this song came on just north of Circleville on my way home to Chillicothe. It was a beautiful hopeful, bright sunshiny October day. Can you imagine my joy coming home after 3 weeks away. Physically drained and weakened but with a new lease on life and a fresh new perspective of life and death. Glory! It is a precious memory for me. Karen Carpenters voice sounded like the voice of an angel that day and my appreciation has never waned! Bless her heart! Praise Yeshua! Maybe I will get to meet her someday…
Such a feelin's comin' over me There is wonder in most every thing I see Not a cloud in the sky, got the sun in my eyes And I won't be surprised if it's a dream Everything I want the world to be Is now comin' true especially for me And the reason is clear, it's because you are here You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation And the only explanation I can find Is the love that I've found, ever since you've been around Your love's put me at the top of the world Something in the wind has learned my name And it's tellin' me that things are not the same In the leaves on the trees, and the touch of the breeze There's a pleasing sense of happiness for me There is only one wish on my mind When this day is through I hope that I will find That tomorrow will be, just the same for you and me All I need will be mine if you are here I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation And the only explanation I can find Is the love that I've found, ever since you've been around Your love's put me at the top of the world I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation And the only explanation I can find Is the love that I've found, ever since you've been around Your love's put me at the top of the world
I can't believe it's 50 years already... this was the song I played on when I proposed to my sweetheart Lily... she's gone now, but her memory lingers with me... still after all this time.. when I take a glance at our grandchildren's faces... or when this song pops out somewhere... in my fading memory. God Bless Karen Carpenter. You are in haeven with Lily surely by now... I'll soon reunite with you my darling
Fifty years ago! I'm still amazed with such a SOOTHING voice. You are missed very much, Karen. 😥I have searched for others that did Carpenters songs, and some of them sounded quite well.... but none could match Karen's.
It's one of the best songs that's ever been , I've loved this song since childhood, this song was and still is perfection, i so loved the carpenters !!!!!😊😢😊
La voz más melódica y dulce de la música POP magico ,fresca,,fue un ángel que nos visitó por poco tiempo y nos dejó interpretaciones que hasta el 2024,nos hacen felices KAREN........
This is what set her going down. In front of people and they she was big. But she wasn't. She was beautiful. A survivor of anorexia, I know not to listen to others. Miss her!!
My first time listening FM Station in Iligan City 107.1 Love Radio on their program 7 to 9 in the morning every Sunday, Sunday at the memories. Timeless and unforgettable memories.
When I first heard this on the radio, I thought she was singing about mount Everest climbers going on the summit and having this song in their minds looking down from 29,028 feet elevation at the earth's creation.
Makes one wonder if Richard had passed on instead of Karen, would she still be as popular? After all, it is her voice that made The Carpenter's what they were. One can always get another piano player!

@@voiceover-impressionist well..no..think about it..they wouldn't have bought the solo album..and still dont..if she went with another band, I expect it would be a mamas and papas type sound.. Richard created 'the sound'

You’re so right about that
Nobody can touch her voice!! God Bless you Karen!! The best voice ever!!!
50 yrs ago. Still the most amazing voice to ever be heard. A time capsule

Karen Carpenter had he prettiest voice, ever. My husband played this on his Jukebox constantly.

I fell in love with her gorgeous voice when I was a kid. I'm 56 and still in love with her voice. Exquisite!!
Same here ! 😊
Yes, her voice is like an instrument.❤
2022 I'm still listen to most beautiful voice rip Karen
Who's Karen?
2023 and still going 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Karen Carpenter. The woman singing! Brother is playing keyboard.
She is so close to perfection. Thank you for the albums you left for us.
La voix de Karen est unique au monde les mélodies les arrangements frôle la perfection probablement le plus grand groupe de tout les temps
.
2023, still listening. 50 years already
2023 - Still listening, the voice is unique and beautiful. RIP Karen 😢
I am a korean man in 50ths..I heard this song when i was very very young..it is my favorite song since then..
Mine too
This was played at my Uncle's funeral today, he was a huge Carpenters fan 😢
God bless you.
What a magnificent voice Karen processed. She was one of a kind and taken from us far far to early!
Possessed?
"Top of the World" and "I Have You" give me goose bumps on my back. And so it will always be!
Rest in Paradise, Ms. Francis, my 7th and 8th grade music teacher. She introduced us to this wonderful masterpiece! 🥲😢😭
Such a feelin's comin' over me
There is wonder in most every thing I see
Not a cloud in the sky, got the sun in my eyes
And I won't be surprised if it's a dream
Everything I want the world to be
Is now comin' true especially for me
And the reason is clear, it's because you are here
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found, ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
Something in the wind has learned my name
And it's tellin' me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees, and the touch of the breeze
There's a pleasing sense of happiness for me
There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through I hope that I will find
That tomorrow will be, just the same for you and me
All I need will be mine if you are here
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found, ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found, ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
Thanks Arturo 👍🙏🏻🙏🏻
I was singing along by looking at this
I was memorising this
Just love her voice. One in a hundred years.
The lyrics are so beautiful.
I was 5 years old when this came out. There's always such a happy feeling listening to the old stuff.
I can't believe it's 50 years already... this was the song I played on when I proposed to my sweetheart Lily... she's gone now, but her memory lingers with me... still after all this time.. when I take a glance at our grandchildren's faces... or when this song pops out somewhere... in my fading memory.

Beautiful wonderful Karen Carpenter.
When I first heard this on the radio, I thought she was singing about mount Everest climbers going on the summit and having this song in their minds looking down from 29,028 feet elevation at the earth's creation.
Wonderful
Funfact that this song was in the DreamWorks film Shrek 😁😁

April 2024. My mum loves this song ❤️❤️❤️
BELLA BELLISIMAAA UNA DE LAS MEJORES VOCES FEMENINAS DEL MUNDO!!!!! LASTIMA SU TRISTE FINAL😢😢😢😢
A sonoridade desta musica é magnifica.
R I P Karen Carptenter 1959-1983
Born in 1950, not '59.
Golden voice
THE most perfect pop song ever!
I was born this year (1973).
Makes one wonder if Richard had passed on instead of Karen, would she still be as popular?
After all, it is her voice that made The Carpenter's what they were. One can always get another piano player!
He was also the composer and arranger.
@@trishcrowe5474 People went to see and hear Karen's miraculous voice. Without her voice, Richard was out of a job! Her death brought an end to it all!
Most the comments on here are praising Karen's voice, not Richard's piano playing or any rearrangments of instruments or musical notes....
Karen's voice was once in a lifetime
@@voiceover-impressionist well..no..think about it..they wouldn't have bought the solo album..and still dont..if she went with another band, I expect it would be a mamas and papas type sound.. Richard created 'the sound'
