In your mind you have capacities you know

With every thought you think
Upon the recitation we're about to sing
Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
Calling occupants of interplanetary most extraordinary craft
Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
Calling occupants of interplanetary most extraordinary craft
You've been observing our earth
And we'd like to make a contact with you
We are your friends
Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
Calling occupants of interplanetary ultra-emissaries
We've been observing your earth
And one night we'll make a contact with you
We are your friends
Calling occupants of interplanetary quite extraordinary craft
And please come in peace, we beseech you

Our earth may never survive
So do come, we beg you

Oh, won't you give us a sign
Give us a sign that we've reached you

We declare world contact day
Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
Calling occupants of interplanetary most extraordinary craft
Calling occupants
Calling occupants
Calling occupants of interplanetary anti-adversary craft
We are your friends

I play in a rock band, and my buddies may think I'm odd for liking this song, but if a song gives you goosebumps, your body is telling you it's a great song. What a voice.
I'm a hard rocker. Led Zeppelin and Van Halen to name a few but the Carpenters talent and Karen's voice cannot be denied. Their songs just kinda grab you and pull you in.
@@zigman8550 FFS
Yeah I'm bit the same. I love Hard rock too but not a Carpenters fan. But I love this . Little weird to my friends too.
Interesting...you are unbreakable....powerful....please..play this song in your band.....POWERFUL
I'm a hard-core rocker.. member of a bad ass biker gang and a Black belt in Kung Foo and I like the Carpenters...
Her voice is like the smoothest, creamy vanilla pudding you've ever tasted!
She would sing real quiet all the time, almost imperceptibly so, wherever she was and they would increase the volume for recording
Tragic to die so young from complications of an eating disorder but didn't she light up the world while she was here? God bless Karen C.
its not tragic, its dumb
@@aliali-ce3yf Based on the reason for her death. I agree.
It is so tragic and so unnecessary. She was tiny to begin with. Then other outside influences tried to tell her she was overweight and needed to be skinnier. She was beautiful to begin with.
Simply the most beautiful female voice ever.
Of corsé, THE most beautiful female voice ever. I miss her forever. ❤❤ 😢😢
Superb voice!
Right..and man, can she play them drums!
You are correct
Big call.
Last Christmas, my father made me discover this incredible masterpiece. He passed away 4 days ago & this is the last song we heard together. Maybe he's up there right now, calling occupants of interplanetary craft. Love you papa, thank you for everything
Bless you!
I lost both my parents about a year apart two years ago. You are probably finding it's weird as much as it is sad. Just here to give you sympathy for the weird side of things.
Hugs and comfort to You 🙏🕊️💗
God bless you and your family. 💙

FYI - "Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft" is a power ballad by Canadian rock band Klaatu, originally released in 1976 on their first album 3:47 EST. The song opened night transmission of the pirate radio station Radio Caroline. The year following its release, American soft rock duo the Carpenters covered the song, using a crew of 160[4] musicians. The Carpenters' version reached the top 10 in the UK and Canada, and charted at number 1 in Ireland.
I'm an OG Klaatu fan, from back when they were rumored to be The Beatles.
I had no idea, I thought Richard wrote this tune for some reason. I just listened to the original version, I like it and the Carpenter's version is starting to grow on me. A lot of people bust on this song, but it's really kind of a tour de force for Richard. The arrangement and instrumentation is great. I think I heard Karen say that Richard spent more time on this song than any other song.
@@davidsheriff9274 You're right. I heard Karen say in a interview that they spent more time on this song then they did on some albums. They also spent a lot of money producing it.
@@dbo8336 That's cool hadn't heard that before. I still have all my original Klaatu vinyl.
Loved the carpenters since “close to you”
bought a cd at yard sale few weeks ago. And hearing this for the first time.
I’m a teenager and I love this song!!
You have must excellent taste!!
I've been listening to it since it came out and it's once if my top 5 I play now.
The 70's were remarkable whether it be cartoons, TV shows and or music. Best decade ever !!
The food was better back then Sports too
I have to TOTALLY agree with you - it truly was the best decade EVER!!
My playlist is grinding from the weight of my 70's music alone!! 🤣🤣🤣
Movies were better . Especially westerns and crime drama.
In a 1978 radio interview Karen said after they recorded this song she and Richard figured out they spent more time putting together this one song than they spent on some of their albums. It was time well spent. It is a fantastic and well crafted song.
I think that's why they were so successful. They were complete perfectionists when it came to laying down all the layers. Just my humble opinion. Our world is better because of their gifts.
They didn't write the song, a Canadian band from Toronto called Klaatu wrote it. What the Carpenters did was take an already good song and drape it with sumptuous orchestral and horn arrangements and add Karen's heavenly vocals - and the spectacular result is what you see and hear in the video.
@@stevestruthers6180 I know. It was written by John Woloschuk and Terry Draper. The Nations Favourite Carpenter songs has the story behind the song starting at 46:18 if your interrested. It on YT.
@@paulcampbell7307 you're talking out of your arse.
@@stevestruthers6180 Yes sir, no disrespect to Klaatu but I like the Carpenters version better.
What I love about Karen Carpenter singing this is that she just sounds so sincere. It's both very odd and very, very wonderful. It almost comes off like a Supertramp song, which is definitely a compliment as far as I'm concerned.
I don't sound as good as Karen did but when I sing along with this song I am very sincere. They are out there and listening. They will eventually contact us when we won't panic and we can get along with one another. It's eventually going to be that way one day. I just hope it's soon.
@@SRWill64 She has an “interplanetary most extraordinary” voice
@@Jack-fs2im Maybe you're more tight than you realize. Do you believe in reincarnation?
@@SRWill64 for ten years I was a Thereveda Bhuddist but now I,m Christian.peace
@@fadedbluejeans3680 I am already familiar with Klaatu, but I wholeheartedly enjoy this rendition of their original song much, _much_ more. No offense intended, of course.
Haven't heard this song for at least 30-35 years, Karen's voice is so original, so truly beautiful
I use this after 30 odd years to explain to people how we (30-35 yrs :)) had artists who break out their boundaries....
Richard Carpenter studied and played the piano when he was 12, and he was the older son of Agnes and Harold Carpenter, and the older brother of Karen
VOICE OF AN ANGEL................
I've heard it dozens of times in my Best of Carpenters compilations, first on cassette and later on cd. Not one of my top favourites but a very good song just the same.
Apart from her amazing beautiful voice , I'm always struck how extremely pretty she was and here she looks very healthy , great it's before she got so thin, wasn't a fan of the Carpenters that much in the 70' s at, I was in High school but I totally admire the talent of both Richard and Karen,
A better world back then , better people. Beautiful Karen ❤
People are people no matter when, where, or what species.
@@leo-unddieAnderenbasic human traits don't change correct. However today I believee people have become isolated distant drones. People are actually proud of being stupid but will argue they are right at the same time. Want an experiment? Correct someone's grammar when they say "I seen" or they write "your welcome" and "you're car is nice". Etc. They will get defensive and then resort to it doesn't matter. I don't need to speak proper English.
@@tompaul2591Not all people are English speakers, so they may make mistakes when using it.
@@scotland638 correct. I am only referring to native English speakers.
And Tony Peluso's guitar work fitted in well in this song and "Say goodbye to love"
Written and recorded by a band called Klaatu. Richard Carpenter was a fan of the band and asked if they can cover this. They did just as beautiful job on this song as Klaatu did.
Absolutely correct ...Klattus’ original was more “earthy” while Richard and Karens’ scoring and performance was more “ethereal”...love em’ both!!
Agreed.
well the song makes more sense today as alien contact is happening
Remember the rumor that went around that Klaatu was actually the re-united Beatles? :D
Perfect for CE5
Todd in the shadows covered this album and now this song is stuck in my head.
I'm here because of Todd too!
I see you are also people of culture.
Never heard it befor. Was sent by Todd as well
I watched that video just now, as well. Not the first time I've heard the song, i heard about the original Klaatu version a couple of years ago. This is a great version of the song and Karen Carpenters voice suits it well.
Ok good, thought I was the only one haha
She is the greatest female singer of all time. I listen to her music almost daily. Brings tears to my eyes all the time.
Along with Judith Durham of The Seekers!
Have you heard Andromeda by Weyes Blood? They are saying either she is karen carpenter reincarnated, or she is channeling her.
😳. Wow! I must take a look at that!! This song resounds in my head constantly, my dad was a massive fan…I grew up with constantly hearing it play in my dads car!! Might be a sign from him as I originate from andromeda. How weird 💗🙏
I remember when I heard this song in the '70s and contemplated the possiblity of "Interplanetary Craft" and of late I have seen saucers, triangles and brilliant white floating orbs. Now the song takes on a fuller meaning to me. Thanks to The Carpenters for recording this.
The song IS about making peace with aliens I’m pretty sure, at least that’s what I think Klaatu intended
Todd was 100% this is a banger.
You should check out the original by Klaatu
@@mikedirtstein325 Of course that's the ONLY correct answer.
@Jaxk Caramac Yeah, didn't he replace Paul after he died?
@@mikedirtstein325wouldn’t be surprised, Sub-Rosa Subway is just like any song from Paul’s album Ram
"We are your friends!" Greatest line in musical history. Outstanding.

@@stevenburger7158 1 John 2:15-17 New Living Translation
15 Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. 16 For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world. 17 And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.

Please define "WE" if you can. LOL
In my opinion the best Female voice of the time. RIP Karen you left us too early 😢
Not only the best human voice, but the best communicator of music in our lifetimes. That , in itself should cause one to pause and contemplate who or what she was.
The brightest stars sometimes go supernova too fast. Richard’s arrangement is stellar. Karen lives in intergalactic space travelling at the speed of Love. ❤
Or light lite
She was gone so quickly from this world, and there has never been a voice on Earth quite like hers. Best ever.
He didnt arrange fuck all. This is a cover. This song was written and recorded by the Canadian band, Klaatu.
2020 - STILL the most beautiful voice ever.
and the backing music
@@markjabbs966 and I agree with you Mark!
I like the klatuu and the carpenters version to
Total agreement. No one else comes close.
total purity ..
Karen Carpenter perhaps the most beautiful female voice ever.
no perhaps necessary!
Perhaps not, for sure she's.
Absolutely, I've said it before about KC, her voice is like warm honey being poured from a golden jug by an angel, whilst travelling across a cloud of condensed love. in a carriage made of pure quartz crystal. You don't just 'hear' her voice, it soaks its way into your brain like gentle waves gliding up a sandy beach.
I totally agree. 36 years after she passed away, she is still being missed by so many people, including me.
She's definitely the best in my opinion!!! I love this cover!!
I haven’t heard this in over 40 years. It has been stuck in my brain ever since. RIP Karen Carpenter. There will never be another like you. Thank you for sharing this.
Karen is sadly missed. She had the voice of an angel.
This is just an incredible song for the 70’s. I just love Karen singing this song just as much in 2022. The lyrics, music arrangement, everything about this song gives me goosebumps!! A voice of an angel taken from us all far too young. An amazing person who sadly perceived herself as “not good enough”. Sincerely missed by many 💜
Whenever you think you're not good enough, just remember, just one of your turds will shut down an entire waterpark.
@@voxac30withstrat laugh out loud
This is a cover of the band Klaatu, if you like this song, please check them out :)
Yeah, and I didn't know about this song until a few years ago. And this music video was excellent.
She had beautiful voice and diction, her pronunciation was perfect.

And delivered her lines straight
Shes a pisces like einstein..space interest them. Theyr also born communicators & artistic. Nervous xhaustion is a negative quality
@@czaaful Bigfoot told you to say that!
I believe you are referring to what is called ENUNCIATION, not pronunciation. Pronunciation is related to the word itself, focusing on which syllables should be emphasized and how certain letters (or combinations of letters) should sound when spoken. Enunciation refers to how clearly and distinctly a particular individual forms the sounds that make up a word. So she would have no problem with PROnunciation, because American English was her native language anyway.
To me, Karen Carpenter is up there with Jimi Hendrix and Kurt Cobain in terms of most tragic deaths in music. I can’t even imagine how much incredible art could’ve been made had she lived, but more importantly, I can’t hardly imagine the pain she was in at the end without tearing up.
I'm grateful for the contributions they made while they were here and not begging these incredibly accomplished people for more.
I am sure that she is in Heaven with God, where there is NO PAIN FOREVER!!
@Tszyu That changes literally nothing about my comment.
And you’re telling me things I already know. Not only is this a cover, but she didn’t write any of her songs.
Thank you.
@Tszyu You hoping to accomplish anything other than slandering a dead woman to a stranger?
Why should she write, with her genius brother dropping piles of hits on the floor every day.
Karen's pitch is just like another musical instrument, its so beautiful to listen too. When her voice comes in it just adds another dimension! RIP.
Karen has the voice of an angel 👼. So sadly missed.
A tune of my childhood, my mum used to play the carpenters on a Sunday while getting dinner ready, great and happy memories, stay safe people xx
I just stumbled upon this song. I haven't heard this since I was a teenager and I am now 55. How wonderful Karen Carpenter's voice is.
That’s been a long time man but I’m glad you have discovered this gem again! Listening to this now as I pray for my dads stroke full recovery. He was already doing physical therapy but just last night and today he is vomiting so we rushed him again.
Just missing the days where he would drive us to our school and have this song and many other carpenters song play in the car. I love my dad and so is everyone. I hope everyone will take care of themselves very much and do not stop radiating their love and care to their families and loved ones
@@jamesryantaylor6391 Sending You hugs and comfort 🙏🕊️💗🌌🌠
I'm 38 and listened to and loved this song as long as I remember. She is amazing.
I cry thinking of Karen Carpenter.
So much talent.
So much tragedy.
Crystal clear pleasures the ear.
She was amazing And her brother. Pure class. ❤
The best female voice in the universe 👍👍
I still can't believe the Carpenters recorded this -- and am quite glad they did! What a great recording
A band called Klaatu brought it out, but the Carpenter's brought it to the charts!
@@rshoeg this is the original.
@@bp6329 No. It's a Klaatu original.
@@cliffsmelley5026 no is isn't.
@@bp6329 Proof?
One of the best singers in the World. Ever.
R.I.P. Karen.
Arguably, the best ..... ever.
Melodically always Right but Dusty Springfeild is really sexually contreversial at the sixties movement to down rate Karen’s wholesome Gift for harmonics to the standard instead of occult popularity unlike latter day emotions for the Billboard Spot Of Number one singles ?
Don't disagree; artistically, they were like chalk and choose, however, that being said, Dusty didn't have the range or depth of voice that Karen had ...@@anthonyrodriguex6078
There is something about Karen Carpenter's voice that is so comforting and hauntingly beautiful.It would'nt feel like Christmas without hearing her perfect voice.
She had such a beautiful voice
Karen Carpenter and Judith Durham of the seekers to me are the two best female singers of all time,may God be good to both their beautiful souls,greetings from Ireland.
ABSOLUTELY!!!!!
I couldn't agree more....Judith Durham was a angel
Karen was the finest female alto tenor in recent memory. Not to mention a very accomplished percussionist and drummer. And this song is a tour de force of both. Stone Cold Genius.
She was a contralto
Lol she doesn't play drums on this or this entire album
@@lacadamYeah, the original drums Klaatu made may have been a little hard
Karen Carpenter is among one of the best female voices in the history of music. Wonderful song. 01 - 02 - 2020
There's a female singer called Rumer.
Could be Karen reincarnated.
Carpenters song
She could play a little bit of drums too. ruclips.net/video/sdHyzGXAJPg/видео.html
@@bp6329 The original song is By Klaatu. The Carpenters version is a cover.
other way round, the Carpenters wrote the song, those other mugs covered it.
Something very special about this woman’s voice.... gives me goosebumps. I feel her voice to my bones.

we all miss her x
Oh yes, I feel the same way about this voice, which really is irresistable. It is like a massage for the soul.
Very sad ending for Karen though. It's like she couldnt handle the chaos and dysfunction of this world.
I read this right after I got the goosebumps... So you're not alone
"We are your friends...🎶"
A beautiful song backed by an incredible orchestra featuring the most wonderful instrument of all, the singing vocals of Karen Carpenter!
For Sure.
This hits me so hard you guys can't imagine..
So much ahead of their time.
This is true love in shape of music.
Besides having one of the most beautiful voices ever she was a hell of a drummer 🥁👍❤️
Linda música, aqui é do brazil
I wish she would kick those drums just like the who does.
you live and learn, great piece of trivia.
Singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and a very good actress.
And one hell of a nice person😅
I'm almost 64 yo & this song was a regular at "substance" abuse parties. Klattu was incredible! Hearing Karen's awesome powerful voice brings a tear to the eye. Back in my younger years NO ONE would think that the Carpenters could produce anything but syrupy stuff. This one proved us wrong. RIP Karen.
Yep...I’m 66and1/2 now and I totally agree with you bro’...
Found this video of Drummer from Klaatu.

Hands up if you believe in aliens? ... I do !! 👽
I do, too. ❤✨️
They don’t like to be called “aliens”
Of course
Hearing her voice is like having a god whisper in your ear... It's divine.
Oh, to be Husband to a Woman who could sing like that...'Diva' or not...it'd be a labor of love...I would've done anything to keep her happy, and able to keep recording with her Brother. So sad, the way her only marriage went...he just used her for her money, is how it was described in the AXS-TV documentary. Don't know how he sleeps at night, assuming he's still alive ?
@@sjames5694 Her husband divorced her. Perhaps her voice didn't impress him at all.
Katherine McChesney Yeah...maybe that's what really happened. :: eye-roll ::
Pound for pound...the greatest voice of her generation ;-)
Yes God created Man and Woman!! and angels
I'm 61 years old,until now,I still love this song very much.

Karen had the smoothest voice in music! She left us way too soon!!
Haven't heard this since i was kid. I had it on 45" . Got goosebumps listening to her beautiful voice after so many years..
She's one of the greatest singers of all time......
yeah, she makes Adele sound pathetic, which she is, she's not even in the same league as Karen!
She's a real Gem- a " rare one"
She has a firm place in American Pop history.
@@larrycj4382 world history, kc the voice
@@vicsaul5459 I agree! Her low register is the most gorgeous I have ever heard from a female singer. She called it "her basement".
Even if you were never a Carpenters fan, Karen's voice can only be described as heavenly. Reminds me of the "other-wordy" voice of people like Roy Orbison. These are people who had a genetic gift, something about their vocal chords that caused such an angelic sound. Worth a listen if you were young in the 70s. "We are your friends".
hello, my dear friend Catherine been ages hun we spoke. yes, when as mention she and Roy had a beautiful voice. something others don't
have gifted to. the 70's were my music from the nineties.
Nice to talk again Edward Church yes, Karen had such sweetness in her voice. I compare her to Roy Orbison because you just couldn't believe what you heard when listening to both of them - sounded like angels lol. So the 70s music was your time? I was a teenager in the 60s and started with that, so I relate to the 70s music too. Glad to see you, friend.
I was born in 61l listen all to all the 60s and 70s 80s music the best I ever heard
Edward Church
Wish I'd been around in the 1800s to watch Beethoven write his 3rd, my favorite "Eroica" in Eb major. I know every note of all 4 movements, used to "conduct" it as a kid using a big wooden spoon lol
exactly i wanted to hear running scared
I never tire of listening to this track. So perfect in all ways. Karen and Richard, brilliance personified.
My dad randomly played this song last night. The carpenters just made us soberly lose all sense of reality. Which is a sentence I never thought I’d say ever in my life.
Her voice is so pure, unpretentious and ethereal it makes all those screaming belters sound pathetic and desperate.

A voice of pure gold. I never tire of hearing her voice. It still jars she died so tragically young.
+David Quinton I agree. The clarity in her voice, is second to none. Rest in peace Karen, and thanks for sharing your gift.
+David Quinton We're still hurting David. Perhaps because more could have been done to save her..
David Quinton Quite.
I suffer with bad nerves but listening to her sing. Brilliant.
+David Quinton I was preparing our place for my sister's wedding when news came over the radio of Karen's death in 1983. I was stunned, but, after reflection not stunned. I had noted her emaciated appearance in TV specials for years. I did not then understand "Anorexia" then, but have gotten some understanding since. But, understanding does not make it easier. I had an equal spot in my heart for Emmylou Harris and Olivia Newton John. It kills me to think what Karen could have done had she beaten her demons and lived to produce what Emmylou and Olivia have done.
The Carpenter's chose the weirdest song to cover and did an outstanding job on it. I love Klaatu's original, and this answers it perfectly.
Very true. One of their biggest hits, was from a bank commercial: “We’ve only just begun”.
The strings in the background at 1:30 echoing Karen's voice are just magical
I just found out about this song today from Todd In The Shadows' review. He was completely right, this song is amazing! It's like Come Sail Away but better.
It pretty easy for a song to be better than Come Sail Away. But that doesn't take anything away from this. It's a great song and amazing cover.
Klaatu (the original) is awesome.
ruclips.net/video/Uc0HoM_Kvmg/видео.html
Me too!
I do kinda wish it was a little trippier it approaches that at times.
I haven’t smoked up in a while, but if this just had a little more of the weird 70s music in it, it’d be perfect for that.
She knew she knew the score I love her so much bless you Karen I love you❤️
@@joearnold6881 oh come on mate you can't knock it it is superb

I thought I'd hate this. Kkaatu was my favorite band of my youth. They did a nice job with the orchestration. And Karen's voice is great.
this is just one of those things that, on paper, sounds like the worst idea and like something that couldn't possibly work. but it does, by God, it works beautifully
@@sunsetman22 It probably helps the Carpenters, other than Karen Carpeters fab voice, had pretty good resources to get the thing aranged and recorded magnificently. The songs delightfully batshit and makes more sense in Kkaatu's musical dimension but goddamn does Karen sing this as if it where her own and makes it *work*
Hello Visfor Vegan... What do you and I have in common other than great taste in music?
this song is ridiculously wonderful
It's humanly impossible to top anything about this, it's in an extraordinarily beautiful class of it's own.
How many agree??? One of the GREATEST SONGS EVER!!!! IMO they covered this song Perfectly & I wish more people could get the higher meaning of it.
I can't hear her beautiful voice without welling up! Such a talented but troubled young woman....very sad. I can actually feel and hear her pain, in her singing! Very profound!
Her mission here on earth was complete 💫. Love & Light 🌻xxx
An extraordinary woman.
Brian M. Armstrong Her troubles were not of a personal nature but of a very cruel media and slightly lesser cruel society in general. Her voice though, was exquisite!
You're not the only one who can hear the sadness in many of her songs.
I always loved Karen Carpenters silky smooth voice, I was only in my early teens when she passed, a rebellious drug taking, alcohol abusing teen, yet even now, I'm welling up just watching and listening to this amazing lady. I never realised until just now how ill she was looking even then, such a beautiful lady, such a sad loss, Karen and Richard I think are still very much loved even now
The Carpenters are definitely not my thing, but this is just amazing, it asks nothing from Space Oddity, it's beautiful, haunting, complex, I'm in complete awe
Perhaps the most perfect female voice ever...she deserved a better life. RIP - Karen.
She was beautiful with the voice of an angel.
Her voice is molten chocolate on a freezing day.
U nailed that...
Yes, it’s very cold now.
Freezing chocolate on a molten and unnecessary breath
I grew up with this ass a kid and I could never get her voice out of my head. This song was so ahead of it's time. Her voice is so smooth. Barbra Streisand is said to have the smoothest voice. No way Karen did 100 percent. I am listening in 2020 and her voice brings tears still to this 50 year old man.
You "grew up with this ass"? Funny thing, so did all of us.
Wonderful song. Maybe we should try to do what she did. They are out there, watching, waiting for us to grow up enough to come join them in space. We will get there one day, hopefully soon. I would love to meet them, our extraterrestrial brothers and sisters.
Karen Carpenter waaaaay out classes Barbara Streisand!
I really love this song. "We are observing your earth, Baby!"
I always loved this song. Karen had such a beautiful voice.
She did!
If NASA ever does a sort of follow-up to their Voyager Golden Record, this absolutely needs to be one of the tracks they send out there if we don't just beam it into space our damn selves. If we could gift any sort of life out there something, this should be high on the list (along with Klaatu's original) because who wouldn't get intense feels from this?
A newly-built, superficial AI robot may not get the full scope of this song???
What Alien Or Substance Will Against This Welcoming To Our Planet Especially The Carpenters
This is EXACTLY what I was thinking! I can't think of a better proposal for peace and friendship with extraterrestrial life than this! (We'd have to cut the opening radio station scene and the alien voices from the song but still)
In our media, it's already been beamed, @ C speed.
This and major Tom by col. Chris Hadfield.
Even the Aliens loved her .
No one did it better than her . Ever !!!
Brian R ~ Yeah,
Check out the amazing video footage called =
“Eddie Bravo Smashes Neil deGrasse & steve-o with Science and Logic”
By Conspiracy Box
YOU WON’T BE DISAPPOINTED !
Enjoy. . .
Even David Bowie tried to Love The Alien, but the Carpenters succeeded.
John Wholoschuck did it better.
no he did not
Klaatu did it better, but they wrote. This is just a cover. Not bad, but not Klaatu. 😷
I remember this song when I was young definitely has come back for a reason as I recall it was a Guidepoint throughout my life, a.k.a. the dots that you need to join together. It all makes sense. Our individual lives are definitely planned, and our soul knows where it’s going, and what we need to go through to reach where we will be shortly.
I don't know why this song is so beautiful, I love it so much
Came here after TitS covered the album.
I can whole heartedly agree best song of theirs and honestly this brought a tear to my eye first time hearing and goosebumps on every listen.
The original is great, but Karens voice compliments this song on another level
Todd In The Shadows? Anything to do with Trotters Independent Traders?
Whose tits covered the album?
@@SavoxYT Todd in the Shadows. He has a series called TrainWreckords where he looks at bands/artists that were giant but then for one reason or another had a colossal failure of an album that killed their time in the spotlight. He had one on The Carpenters. He actually spoke mostly positively about the album, though highlighting some flaws, but made special mention of this song being fantastic and very underrated.
Karen Carpenter singing about aliens? God, I love the seventies...
Allen Albright you wish
@Allen Albright Wasn't almost everyone in the 1970s? 😂😂😂
The song was a hit, just after the movie "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" was released.
it’s a cover of klatuu. the voice in this version is better but the instrumentation in the other version is better
It is a cover. Original was by Klaatu about a year before the Carpenters` version.
This video is a real piece of art, what a beautiful lady Karen Carpenter was
One of the most beautiful voices i never heard before... how sad she isn't with us .. 😥
I had forgotten about this song. Anything Karen Carpenter does is awesome. What a voice. Miss you Karen.
i cried when Karen died, the Carpenters are extraordinary there is life out there in space and she will contact them one day so beautiful.
👽 intervention now please🙏
@@DNAleguillou amen
I was introduced to the Carpenters years ago in my early years. The Sound of her vocals still give me goosebumps!!! I remember watching 'The Karen Carpenter Story' years later and getting back into their music for ages. I sat with my wee tape recorder ready beside the TV until my Uncle's wife made a load of tapes for me from his LPs. I still have them!!
Such a bizarre song but I love her voice in this ❤
@@vandalayindustries3057 Richard got songs from the weirdest sources. But Karen could sing the ingredients to bleach and make it sound wonderful.
Indeed, they went out on a limb with this song but it worked.
The original is even better.
She died young but left a mark with her wonderful voice. That is sufficient for a life.
The voice of Karen Carpenter, what a beautiful first contact that would be.
She knew more than we thought bless her heart ❤️ 😊
G-ddamn Karen Carpenter's voice was truly out of this world.
sad but true
CARPENTERS: ANOINTED & ORDAINED by God to impact USA during Dark Turmoil of division > They Shot Up like a METEOR by God's Hand (15 Mega Hits & 20+M Sales in just 1st 4 yrs.) a 'Consecutive Hits' Record still today 2021 > now 150+M Sales incl. '1M' Solo album by Karen (1980) released '1996'.
Do you have to use the Lord's name in vain? I strongly feel that Karen would disapprove. We are all sinners. 😎
No one will believe it now, but Richard was wearing the height of fashion for men at this stage of the '70's -
the safari suit.
Rip Karen, a voice so sublime it could've come from an angel.
As I recall, the liner notes on the inner sleeve for the LP stated this song was the official world contact day anthem.
I love the way the album cover is flashed in the background really briefly
Loving the Carpenter's since the early 70's when I was a little girl. 56 years old, January 12, 2021, and I still love them. RIP Karen
I remember in the 70’s my sisters and brother were teaching a very tiny me to sing this. I will forever love them for this. We love you, Karen.
💫🕯🕊❤️
It's Cool that they made this video & song in the 1970's. This song & video is ahead of it's time. I think it's cool that they used a green screen back then which was not common in the 1970's. So if you think about it people in the 1970's probably thought this was the coolest video ever ... LOL 😄
A most amazing song from one of the greatest female voices EVER!!!
It's so upsetting that she was probably the best ever.
I cry every time I hear her sing.
So do i
There's a reason for that, her voice is one of the purest resonances I have ever heard. Her mastery of its delivery, renders it a carrier wave of pure emotion. That's why at the heart of higher consciousness raising processes in every religion going back 1000s and 1000s of years, sound resonance, and particularly the voice has been a major component. Can you imagine being a child and being sung a lullaby by THAT voice!!
Todd was right. This is really strange. And I kinda dig it.
Same
@@Karmy. We'd like to make a contact with you... baby. That shit is hilarious. How did this not end up in the episode.
@@DeadMech1 ikr
Who the hell is todd
@@adrianbanhao7977 They're referring to Todd In The Shadows, a RUclips channel that makes music-related content. He did an episode of his " Trainwreckords" series about the Carpenters album Passage which features this as the closing track. Its definitely not at all the worst album ever and is probably the most respectful episode of the series. He said that he actually really liked this song in the video and that's why many people were brought here. And yeah I agree its actually a strange but amazing cover of Klaatu's song.
With all the sightings across the world of UFOs now, this song is very apt. Timeless song, and full of meaning, R.I.P Karen Carpenter.
I was sent this video as a joke.... But I ended up loving it.
This song is proof that Karen Carpenter could read the phone book and conjure up emotions that move the listener
alpineinc1 Of this there is no doubt.
alpineinc1 I absolutely agree!!! Well put!!!
alpineinc1 LOLOLOL Not bad for a cover version of a then obscure song by an even more obscure band (Canada's Klaatu).
alpineinc1 Indeed, because WOW!
Highly evolved indeed!
