I grew up listening to, and loving The Carpenters. When Karen passed, it broke so many hearts, including mine. 💔She had struggled with eating disorders, and this being her last song, makes it even more poignant. ❤ Thank you for reacting to this. It has brought back so many fond memories. 🌹Timeless, beautiful voice.
Karen sings pass your heart to your soul. Stops you in your tracks. There is no one on earth and there never will be anyone who can sing like Karen Carpenter.
I love Karen. She actually saved my life. When she died I was on the path of anorexia. I didn't know what it was and didn't realize I was doing it to myself. So, because they shared her story, I realized what I was doing and I told myself that could happen to me if I kept starving myself. So I stopped. REST IN PEACE, Karen❤ Thank you❤
God bless you and for coming thru it. Karen touched people in myriad ways and, even in death, hopefully saved others like you from the same fate. RIP, blessed angel. Your spirit and voice will live on for eternity.
I had no idea how unhappy she was -- especially towards the end -- when she was recording all this beautiful music. What a tragic story.of how someone so talented and pretty lost her life at such a young age. The only silver lining is she left us an endless library of wonderful music that will live on forever.
Sincere, heart-felt reaction. I agree with you regarding Karen's voice; while difficult to describe, it resonates with a quality and softness that is rare, tranquil and unique. There are talented people that sing well, then there is Karen Carpenter. She is up on another level. Her voice penetrates and calms your psyche. I can only hope her spirit has found the peace and joy her voice gave us.
This song is the absolute pinnacle of the carpenters career. The sound in this song is hauntingly beautiful . Richard was a master before his time and her voice was perfection
O God I love Karen Carpenter , I really emotional went I headed she had died that year, I grew up listening to the Carpenters , that part of me is gone now . Now just listening to her I still emotional, thanks Sarah for honor her.
Sarah, it took me years to listen to this song after she died. It’s an emotion gut punch in a way as the lyrics and knowing what happened really tear at you. I saw you just holding it together, it’s difficult. You did a beautiful reaction, truly heartfelt. It was also sung in one take. One Take Karen right to the end. Peace to you.
Strangely these people although in the throes of death never seem to lose their talents. Look at Freddie, he kept his wonderful voice and only died once he couldn’t sing anymore
This is a very sad one. She was definitely my favorite of all female vocalists, and she was the one that could reach my insides deeper than any other. I hope you would also react to another song by them which was released after she passed away, "Make Believe It's Your First Time" - thank you.
I love seeing young people discovering the fabulous music that I grew up with! Nothing today can come close to this in quality and talent. Your reaction said it all!
I grew up with Carpenters wonderful music. Was heartbroken when she passed. Wish she had realized how beautiful and loved she was. Rest in peace Karen.
God gave us this angel for a little while. She touched the hearts of all of us. Her name is written in the Lambs book of Love and Life. God Bless you Karen Carpenter!!😪😪
She actually got down to 77 lbs on her 5 ft 4 1/2 frame....but managed to get to 108 lbs a few months before she passed, and maintained her new weight gain....
She was my Elvis. Way back when I was in show choir I selected songs by the Carpenters. My choir director said to me “she’s a horrible singer. Besides, you’re the only one who can sing it.”
En plus, elle était très faible quand elle a enregistrée cette ultime chanson. Richard l'avait empêchée de continuer à faire des pistes d'harmonisation ! Enregistrée en une seule prise ! Sa voix reste avec nous et elle chante sûrement au Ciel.... Merci Sarah pour cette belle analyse ! ❤
Too sad music style for me. It's beautiful on some level, though (in a lovely situation, I guess). Maybe if a DJ remixed it to 129 BPM and added some quick disco violins and more 1/16th notes with a synth. 😃

Now I am balling like a baby. Again. In 2024. Geesh!
@ChuckHackney same here 😭
Loved the carpenters, her voice was amazing, and she could really play the drums!
She sings like an angel. Her voice takes me instantly back to my childhood…. The best parts of my childhood at that ❤
😭 same here
Awesome!!! I miss her sooooo much! I always cry when I hear her voice. What a beautiful voice💕
Thank you. One of the best of all time.

She was such an angelic voice. A very tragic life. 🪽🪽🪽

You have such an emotional vision. Thank you!! 💞💞💞

Karen is one of my favorite artists. So sad how she died. 😢
So so beautiful.
Voice of the heart. 💖🥰

Karen Anne was an angel sent straight from heaven 💞 🌹 💖

Beautiful❤. Thanks for your review and I agree 100%. RIP Karen Carpenter.
What a beautiful; what a beautiful talent

Always will be my favorite female vocalist of all time♥💔 🎶🎶

Karens voice just melts your heart…truly an angel. ❤❤

Her voice can heal people even today, but unfortunately she couldn't heal herself.
I played her Wedding Song at my wedding for my procession.
My favorite female vocalist of all time. I’ve idolized Karen since I was a teenager.
Still...miss her voice..
Very good
she lived only 33 years......in 1983 she died......but her songs will live forever
timeless
Saludos cordiales desde 🇺🇾 que bien canta linda música ✌️🤪❤
Incredible voice. The best, none better.😢😢
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Sarah- Lost this legend way to soon. She was just 32 when she passed away. Her health got so bad toward the end that she only weighed 89 pounds.
Her mother was at fault...telling Karen not to eat too many cookies!?
She actually got down to 77 lbs on her 5 ft 4 1/2 frame....but managed to get to 108 lbs a few months before she passed, and maintained her new weight gain....

You should watch the film about them it was truely heart breaking that ans temptations
Stunning 😍
she left too early.....but her music will last forever.....love the CARPENTERS
En plus, elle était très faible quand elle a enregistrée cette ultime chanson. Richard l'avait empêchée de continuer à faire des pistes d'harmonisation ! Enregistrée en une seule prise ! Sa voix reste avec nous et elle chante sûrement au Ciel.... Merci Sarah pour cette belle analyse ! ❤
And she never found anyone to love her beautiful self.
😭..🤗.. 🎶🎵
If I could give you a suggestion of a song is called "Beyond" by Leon Bridges...it's a sing most people have never heard of.
If you love Karen, then You'll love NORA JONES. Watch her perform, DON'T KNOW WHY live from the Tonight Show. 🙏🤞✌️
Oh my yes!! Nora is phenomenal as well. Excellent choice!!🤞🤞
It's ok to 😢 girlfriend it's very sad she passed away, but they knew nothing about her sickness back in then.
Too sad music style for me. It's beautiful on some level, though (in a lovely situation, I guess). Maybe if a DJ remixed it to 129 BPM and added some quick disco violins and more 1/16th notes with a synth. 😃
Guardare una che canta è davvero difficoltoso. Forse i 120.000 sono tutti sordi?
Her Mother was at fault gor her death... telling her not to eat too many cookies!!
i THINK CLEARLY SHE IS LISTED TOO FAR TIME IN THE 100 ARTIST OF ALL TIME.She has to the in top 10!
❤️
