- Karen & Richard Carpenter perform "(I'm Caught Between) Goodbye and I Love You" from their 1975 "Horizon" album. This song, written by Richard Carpenter & John Bettis, is a fine example of the Carpenters "sound," comprising Karen's melancholy lead vocal, Richard's nuanced arrangement, and some beautiful K&R background harmonies.
*******************************
Richard writes of this album on his website:
"For Karen and me, the bulk of 1974 was devoted to worldwide touring. The only releases were 'Please Mr. Postman' which was released in October of that year and reached No.1 in early 1975, and 'Santa Claus Is Coming To Town', released at about the same time. As we were following what was probably our most successful sales year, 1973, which produced both 'Now and Then' and 'The Singles', not to have an album ready for release in 1974 seemed dubious to me at the time, and ludicrous now. Booking well over 200 concerts for us in one year was an egregious decision on the part of our management; it was also a fault of mine for not saying something about it.
As a result, recording on a new album did not commence until late 1974. The resulting 'Horizon' released June 6, 1975, differed from the preceding albums, mostly by value of its production. By this time, A&M Studios had 24 track recording. (By contrast, the 'Offering' album is on 8 tracks and the following four on 16; the many overdubbed vocals ate up a lot of tracks!) The additional tracks allowed us to record the acoustic piano, Rhodes, drums, etc. in stereo.... I must also mention the fine engineering of this album by the late Roger Young. Ironically, though Karen was now suffering with anorexia nervosa, she was never in better voice."

As genius as she was,if asked to pick her very best performance, I would choose this one. It’s so intimate, passionate yet controlled and the low notes are other worldly. Oh God. She was a miracle.
very few women singers can hit those low notes and karen does it perfectly and makes you feel it in your heart and soul and her voice is so rich and timeless
Her intonation when she sings deep blue "sea" literally cuts to the core! What a wondrous voice.
After more than 50 years, I'm still mesmerized whenever I hear her sing.
@@bruschmidt9943 One of a kind.....
@@bruschmidt9943 Recently discovered this song...thought I knew them all....completely blown away.
This is my absolute favourite Carpenters song. What Karen brings to the table here will NEVER be equalled, no matter how much the Japanese try.
Not only Karen's vocals but the heavenly breath's Richard left included in recording. Some slow and some quick. Magic
No can replace karen carpenters...famous voice worldwide..
Pure ear gold
Best Album of the Carpenters with a high performance Karen...
Her voice is one in a million,miss so much...😍
I miss them, too.
My Lord what a voice
Geeze, how can anyone be this good? 😳
No doubt: this woman was born to sing. Miss her voice so much!
Karen Carpenter- The Greatest Female Vocalist in the History of Music💙
@@richardea4223 without any dubt ❤❤❤
this is my one favorite song of Karen Carpenters
A great song from the horizon album. Written by John and Richard. Karen sings it so beautifully
Just heavens giving! What a great music and what a great voice. Karens and Richards music will always be part of my life !
Her voice flows over the orchestration like a butterfly in flight. Ever so gently, knowing exactly where she's going. Nobody can interpret a piece the way she could, taking a mere song & caressing it into a timeless work of art 😍😥. Her heart warming, majestic vocals were also recorded on 1st take 😯💕
Beautiful said and so true.
Probably my favorite Carpenters album.....Karen really used that lower registry in her voice to perfection.
+David S. Like no other!
Yes, I felt the same way with the range of her voice in Only Yesterday.
was just thinking the same thing that it's probably my favourite Carpenters album..but hey it is hard to choose from such an amazing catalogue but the production level they hit in 1975 incredible..kind of the point that separates the early 70's stuff from the late.....RIP Karen.. Richard respect for the song writing
Absolutely mesmerizing 💯🔥
This is Karen the love of my life I don’t know if you have been listening if you have just say yes
Cannot help it to say even in 2020 I still enjoy carpenter music great song will always be
Karen Carpenter; The perfect remedy for our COVID blues. 💙
às vezes me bate uma saudade dela. hoje foi um destes dias.
この歌は、なかなか落ち着きのある歌になってますね。やはり、カレンのこの低音での拡がりの歌が、素晴らしいですね。
Effortlessly....Karen didn't sing, she just opened her mouth and the song flowed from her precious lips. I never heard her reach for a note.
😞 so true. Never was or will be another artist like her!
Awesome singing and perfect English pronunciation.
Natural talent that will live forever for us.
Whst a beauyiful song!!!
Excellent angelic voice by karen carpenters...still famous worldwide..
Superb song by a singer with an exquisite voice.
Carpenters' album "Horizon" is so underrated, it blows my mind. It has some of their most experimental and beautiful songs on it. "Happy", "Only Yesterday" and this one are my three favorite Carpenters songs. The whine of the pedal steel during the final 20 seconds of this song brings me to tears. There's something so emotive about this song. It makes me so nostalgic and it makes me so sad yet so happy to be alive. I can't describe it.
Yes, I agree, My teenage years began in 1970, about the same time the Carpenters hit it big. Of course I never admitted it, and I even rejected them as bubblegum radio music, not my style, yet when many of their songs, not all, would come on, mostly on the old AM radio at that time, LOL, I found myself listening to her voice and being like in a trans, still rejecting them though. However, when Only Yesterday started playing on the radio I gave in and actually went to the record shop and bought it, also on 8 track for the car. Only Yesterday, what grabbed me and amazed me of that song was the full range of her voice, damn she was good. Also still to this day, at Christmas time, I still look forward to hearing Merry Christmas Darling. Oh and I still have that 8 track tape.
How can anyone give this precious song a thumbs down. I thought I had heard every Carpenters songs. I guess NOT as I am listening to this for the very first time & Love it. There will never, Ever, be another as sweet as Karen.
People of various (childish) ages who shouldn't have been clicking on this in first place. Then find it wasn't "something" of their liking & need to reflect their opinions; bam.!That's all it takes. Just disregard all of them.
No disputing this, absolutely
Let's face it: not everyone is able to appreciate what is really good...
Nicki Minaj and Cardi B disliked it
Only people who don't know what real talent is.
One of my favorites. Love how deep her voice goes.
priceless voice🥰
I have something to tell you
And I know it won't be easy
I've been thinking these past few days
It might be time to leave
You're like a stranger
Then you're a lover
Never the same, always hard to believe
I'm caught between goodbye and I love you
Never knowing quite where I stand
I'm caught between goodbye and I love you
Falling both ways, nowhere to land
So constantly stranded
I can't understand it
This troubled life you've handed me
Is like the devil and the deep blue sea
If we go on much longer
If my doubts grow any stronger
Then I may have to let you go
If only to survive
Give me a reason, why should I stay here
I've tried too hard just to keep love alive
This song is perfect! Type WOW, it's amazing
I really really like this song of Carpenters and also the're my favorite singers since i'm in high school day's and until now they are my favorite singer's.
Definitely from one of my favorite Carpenters albums. Top of their productivity and creative output phase.
un angel vino y se fue pero nos dejo su voz, exquisita y angelical,sabes que ya no habra otra karen carpenter
Constantly stranded without you KC.
what an amazing voice.....I cried when she passed and I still miss her amazing voice....RIP Karen
Dear Friend, KEN SYLK introduced me in CA. and too know KAREN was to Love ❤️ Karen soo much. R.I.P. Karen Carpenter
when karen says the word "sea".....feels so good. another amazing performance by her.
Very true.
That's the part I like best in any of the Carpenters songs, performancewise, that is. There are so many treasures there...
Karen
The golden Voice
Never met her, but I fell in love at fifteen, with "Close To You", and I still carry a torch.
I first heard them on Am Top Forty with their song "Solitaire" plucking geese - WOW !!! Blew my mind and fell in love with them in Grade School !!!
No doubt the most beautiful song they ever wrote and performed.
Sometimes it scares the .... out of me, it's soooooo real, human, honest.
No masquerade..... pure, recognizable and again.... so honest.
OH GOD ! that voice... nothing can compare it
my mother love this song..i remember when i was a kid my mother used to listen to this song and i the one who's turning the radio off.. but now im listening to this song and i used to play it every day..
This is a most lovely song. She has such a rich voice!
Def one of her best vocals. I could apply that to virtually anything she touched, but the lovely melody, effortless tone & sincerity of her voice here is overwhelming.
the song I loved when I was 8 years old back in the Philippines when I was 8 years old.
I am blown away by this portrait!
Such an iconic voice, a very rare and distinctive voice. You can literally recognize Karen's voice compare to other artists its like she's telling a story everytime she sings..
Miss you Karen, how come I wasn't born the day you were still alive..
still listening to this in 2020
this song really breaks my heart 💔 i really miss someone in my life , its hard to say goodbye and i love you
I wont stop loving this song❤️❤️❤️
I always love her voice...and her songs...bring back memories with my mom Arlene, you are always loved.
I love this song !
One and only Karen
Karen's voice is so effortless....
It’s hard to believe some feel the songs on this lp were considered filler
I think it’s some of their best work
One of my favorite songs by Karen...........so beautiful!!!!!
Speechless! They can’t match this with all the AutoTune crap today! Greatest a singer EVER!
Such amazing and beautiful song I ever heard
it reminds me of my high school days when i have to say goodbye to a woman whom i loved the most. its so sad that we have not met till I learned she passed away at a place I could not reach
Amazing is the only way to describe Karen and that voice!
1975 continued the great flow of success for the carpenters. Successful singles. Please miss the postman and only yesterday and the hit album horizon. Plus I was blessed to see them in concert in New York, May 1975
For precision & diction...Karen is perfection.
The Angel of music !
I always sing this song in Videoke👍👌
Karen Carpenter una voz unica e inolvidable,
I'm caught between goodbye and I love you.
Falling both ways, nowhere to land.
(I’m Caught Between) Goodbye and I Love You
I have something to tell you
And I know it won't be easy
I've been thinking these past few days
It might be time to leave
You're like a stranger
Then you're a lover
Never the same
Always hard to believe
I'm caught between goodbye and I love you
Never knowing quite where I stand
I'm caught between goodbye and I love you
Falling both ways nowhere to land
So constantly stranded
I can't understant it
(understand)
This double life you've handed me
Is like the devil and the deep blue sea
If we go on much longer
If my doubts grow any stronger
Then I may have to let you go
If only to survive
Give me a reason
Why should I stay here?
(stay)
I've tried so hard
Just to keep love alive

Justin Bieber listeners.
Such an amazing song...so not appreciated...
+randys92 why not appreciated its amazing song one side you are saying
Not unappreciated, but less well-known. This magnificent interpretation should've been out on the air waves! 👼😊☺
I miss you so badly..
nostalgia
I bought an album in 1972 Which I think Karen recorded on her own It started with her singing Solitaire and ended with this track
I lent it to someone but never got it back It had an unusual cover sleeve and never seen one like it again Still wonder why it is not
