Thank you for making me cry 😭 this song brings so much memories where my Mother used to sang along on the cassette radio. Makes me go back to those times with her. Miss her so bad right now. Half of my heart is gone with her. 💔😭 Love u Ma.
Very fortunate i still have my mum, but yes i relate to what you sir just said. She also used to sing wit her heart out to the song and i love it. For some who'd lost your mums, i grieve with y'all. But best be assured, that they're most likely lookin' down on you all, making sure you all are happy or probably very proud with all their hearts of you. So LIVE YOUR LIVES, WITH LOVE and CARE for each other and make her also happy for what you have all grown up into as their sons. livelaughandlovealways
This song reminds me of a good companion of mine. Incase she is reading this. You are always in my mind and I do miss you so much. You are the greatest partner.. and i reminded on how we sang this song together on repeat. Love you always and Im sorry for everything 💕 Missing you in 2020.
We fell in love On the first night that we met Together We've been happy I have very few regrets The ordinary problems Have not been hard to face But lately little changes Have been slowly taking place You're always finding something Is wrong in what I do But you can't rearrange my life Because it pleases you You've got to love me For what I am For simply being me Don't love me For what you intend Or hope that I will be And if you're only using me To feed your fantasy You're really not in love So let me go I must be free If what you want Isn't natural for me I won't pretend to keep you What I am I have to be The picture of perfection Is only in your mind For all your expectations Love can never be designed We either take each other For ev'rything we are Or leave the life We've made behind And make another start You've got to love me For what I am For simply being me Don't love me For what you intend Or hope that I will be And if you're only using me To feed your fantasy You're really not in love So let me go I must be free And if you're only using me To feed your fantasy You're really not in love So let me go I must be free You're really not in love So let me go I must be free
I'm very admire your voice, Shane Ericks. And this song's very suitable for your voice. Relaxing with piano's melodies and this great song. That's so deep❤️
Shane, I’m really amazed at your sense of pitch. You seem to be able to hear and create the subtle nuances with your voice the same way that excellent violinists do. May God continue to bless you!
I am also a filipino and and im a vocalist too...i love the way you sing.. I fell inlove yow .... keep your beautiful voice always beautiful . heheh i love to hear your cover songs before i go sleep... Goodnight july 15,2020
I've been listening to this song and this version and very video since 2018. This song always put me in tears whenever I listen to it in 2018. I had some issues with my then boyfriend and eventually, when I realized that it wasn't really the same as the first few years of our relationship, I decided to let him go. This song has been my company and got me through a realization that if one cannot reciprocate your love, it's best to let them go than holding unto them. You're only hurting yourself and the person.
Wtf. When I listen to you, it feels like Karen Carpenter is still alive. Carpenters fans need to know you, and you deserve more subscribers. How good it must be to be able to listen to your voice live. Just subscribed and liked this amazing video.
listening to your song covers. I love your choices which are my favourite songs too.. I'm 22 yrs old, and I'd prefer old songs, it never gets old.. ❤️ Such a Talent.. 👏
i fell in love with your songs from the very first time i heard you sing... you brought back life to my mom and dad's favorite artist, The Carpenters...
Your voice touched my heart while I was getting ready for work. I have always loved this song, but since Karen passed, I haven't been able to find one who can sing it like she used to, thank you. The piano melodies were just right and set the mood, thank you for your excellent playing.
So Great! Brings back so many memories. I was playing in a pit orchestra, conducted by the woman who wrote this song. That was in the 70's at Hofstra University, on Long Island, New York. She told me that the "other" guy listed as a writer, only changed a word or two, then added his name. I later heard this song in JAPAN, while I was on tour with the Long Island Youth Orchestra. -Jan J.
This song is very much teaching you a lesson.. Like.. love is not just you wanting your desires for a girl/boy.. You're not inlove with that attitude but you just want his or her body only ... THIS SONG TEACHES HOW TO LOVE SOMEBODY :)
During my teenage years.My cousins and i was used to sang the songs of Ms.Karen Carpenter.A very heartily,emotional and captivating love songs in her Prime.With that voice that is truly remarkable to the hearts of million fans of her...I really admired her Songs and of course i do love the Late/Legendary Ms.Karen Carpenter..

Sarap sa tenga maam.. nwawala antok ko pg nagbbyahe.😊.. salamat PO sa cover na to..❤️
We fell in love
On the first night that we met
Together
We've been happy
I have very few regrets
The ordinary problems
Have not been hard to face
But lately little changes
Have been slowly taking place
You're always finding something
Is wrong in what I do
But you can't rearrange my life
Because it pleases you
You've got to love me
For what I am
For simply being me
Don't love me
For what you intend
Or hope that I will be
And if you're only using me
To feed your fantasy
You're really not in love
So let me go
I must be free
If what you want
Isn't natural for me
I won't pretend to keep you
What I am I have to be
The picture of perfection
Is only in your mind
For all your expectations
Love can never be designed
We either take each other
For ev'rything we are
Or leave the life
We've made behind
And make another start
You've got to love me
For what I am
For simply being me
Don't love me
For what you intend
Or hope that I will be
And if you're only using me
To feed your fantasy
You're really not in love
So let me go
I must be free
And if you're only using me
To feed your fantasy
You're really not in love
So let me go
I must be free
You're really not in love
So let me go
I must be free
Francis Suelto ok
I have tp be free
Song sucks.
isang lumang kanta ngunit laging bumabago sa pandinig sa tuwing naririnig 💫

Voice is just like Karen Carpenter... Wow! Very well sung...
She is beautiful, wonderful, her voice velvety smooth, I love this woman, she is amazing !!

She sounds more like Karen Carpenter compared to the blind woman in viral video that also sings the Carpenter songs but she is also good.
