    Karen and I corresponded with each other while I was in Vietnam, it started with a case of beer bet that she wouldn't answer my letter. I was 17 years old and had a huge crush, I still have those letters in a safety deposit box. I tear up listening to her because there was a lot of private sharing of what we were going through. She was so genuine, sweet, and kind,

      Thank you for sharing that story and for serving. My dad did three tours in Vietnam. He passed in 1977 due to complications from Agent Orange. Every time I hear the Carpenters, I think of my dad. Peace be with you.

      Thank you for sharing. I always believed she had the heart of an angel, as well as the voice of an angel in Heaven. Her voice still makes me tear up, when I hear her sing, and now watching her on video when she is singing, is gold.

      Richard had such a great ability to either write the songs or pick the best ones and make them smash hits. It was always super direct lyrics, w/out a bunch of cryptic poetic obscurity. Just how people think and Karen would deliver it w/ that emotional impact and the voice of one of God's personal angels (which she is now).

    You're the only reactor I've discovered on UA-cam who not only appreciates good music, but Understands. These are the sounds of my youth, and it pleases me so much to see you Get It. Carry on, Harri, and don't let the Music die. No one sings like Karen.

      Me too. Now thank to a UA-cam algorithm I’m inundated with reactors, didn’t know about them, and seeing the faces when Karen’s vocals start. Even the kids doing these, Harri is a bit older but still past her time. But the youngsters who truly have no idea and their faces.

      It doesn't matter when you came on over. You just realized in your soul what majestic singing and pure tone sounds like. I was taunted and brutalized by my friends in the early 70s for daring to worship (little "w") at the altar of Karen's voice. Rock was their only god (little "g"), by that I mean hard rock. Now don't get me wrong, I love me some rock n roll but Karen's voice brings me closer to God and heaven, such is the impact of hearing an angel sing. Praise God.

    And you hearing this now and being brought back to your aunties house is exactly what this song is about. Being transported back to a younger time by the music that you loved. The sights, sounds, smells, and the emotions!

    • @coocoocachooglin
      @coocoocachooglin 2 роки тому +2

    • @abbynormal4740
      @abbynormal4740 Рік тому +2

      Exactly - this song with Karen's voice and Richard's arrangement + harmonies is like a time machine transporting listeners to THAT special time & place in their own lives. The brilliance of such a seemingly simple song that both entertains you in your youth then utterly grasps your very heart and soul years or decades later is incredible.

    Karen makes every word she sings a “song” individually. Each word is an emotion. That is what sets her apart from other excellent singers. Rare as hens teeth.

    • @saintejeannedarc9460
      @saintejeannedarc9460 2 роки тому +2

      She has an uncanny ability to reach right out and connect strongly w/ the listener. What is remarkable is that it doesn't matter what kind of music the listener prefers, they are stunned by the Carpenters.

  • @drcarp7377
    @drcarp7377 3 роки тому +14

    Can you imagine being the cynical record producer, who has heard it all before. The good, the bad, and the ugly. That guy, I presume it was a guy, slouching in his chair, almost groaning at having to listen to another wannabe group. And then, this angel sings, and he sits bolt upright in his chair knowing he had found a multimillion dollar voice. I wish I would have been there. It must have been an incredible moment.

When I listen to some of the reactor channels and the music they react to, it can make me feel VERY nostalgic! That’s a good thing! I REALLY enjoy your channel and LOVE that you do a lot of Beetles reactions! You are a warm caring person and I love that you talk about your 3 year old daughter! I have a 6 year old grand daughter and 11 month old grand son! Your channel is an absolute delight! Don’t EVER apologise for your feelings! Stay safe! Greetings from Australia.

    She was killer on drums.
    It was on a tv special from the 70s, I just can't remember the title.
    So glad you found the Carpenters!

  • @StudeSteve62
    @StudeSteve62 3 роки тому +8

    This one is a Carpenter/Bettis composition. In the early seventies there was a vogue for "oldies", songs from the jukebox era, and this lyric by John Bettis was a commentary on that. It's funny how the "shingalingaling" songs were oldies after only about ten years, but this one is timeless after nearly fifty...

    Music is a Time Machine. When you hear a certain song from your past, it takes you back, and all of those great memories come rushing back to you. It's wonderful. When my mom was dying from Alzheimer's, I used to play the songs she grew up listening to, and although she hadn't really communicated with us for a while, when she heard those old songs, it brought a little smile to her face for a moment. The tears started rolling down my face with joy at seeing her recognize those songs from the 1940s "Swing" era. It was a gift rom God. She died a few days later after suffering for over 8 years. I'm her son and caregiver. I miss mom so much.
    God Bless

    Richard knew how to showcase her talent. The two fed each other. When she died a light went out in him. You can see some biographies with him and the pain is still there. He said in one we were just starting. Many of these songs have been done by others but Richards gift of re arranging and re writing them was one of a kind. They took a back commercial and made it a hit, known as we’ve only just begun co-written by Paul Williams.

    That was a beautiful reaction. Karen’s voice and Richard’s orchestration ties many of us to a time and place and what we were doing. Listen to Karen’s vibrato when she sings “still shines” in this song. It is perfect. Richard says she could wake at 3 a.m. and sound like that with no rehearsal. Her vocal skill was a gift for the whole world, and her innocent clarity and ease of skill is the reason she is still so loved.

    Harri, this song did to you exactly what it is about. Here, check out the lyrics:
    When I was young
    I'd listen to the radio
    Waitin' for my favorite songs
    When they played I'd sing along
    It made me smile.
    Those were such happy times
    And not so long ago
    How I wondered where they'd gone
    But they're back again
    Just like a long lost friend
    All the songs I loved so well.
    Every Sha-la-la-la
    Every Wo-o-wo-o
    Still shines
    Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
    That they're startin' to sing's
    So fine.
    When they get to the part
    Where he's breakin' her heart
    It can really make me cry
    Just like before
    It's yesterday once more.
    Lookin' back on how it was
    In years gone by
    And the good times that I had
    Makes today seem rather sad
    So much has changed.
    It was songs of love that
    I would sing to then
    And I'd memorize each word
    Those old melodies
    Still sound so good to me
    As they melt the years away.
    Every Sha-la-la-la
    Every Wo-o-wo-o
    Still shines
    Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
    That they're startin' to sing's
    So fine.
    All my best memories
    Come back clearly to me
    Some can even make me cry.
    Just like before
    It's yesterday once more

    Technically there was a sort of 50's early 60's nostalgia movement going on at the time in the wake of the movie American Graffiti and other things, even though new songs and artists were prominent as usual....this song was probably Richard Carpenter's anticipation of that feeling at the time. The TV show Happy Days was filmed in late 1973 and presented the next Jan 1974. Your emotional baggage here is what makes this a great reaction, rather than just a technician's review. You have just proven how powerful music is beyond the fancy over the top guitar solos crap and Diva operatic performance singers etc. Congratulations on your personal discovery. There seems to be 2 kinds of listeners...the one who wants to be dazzled by fast notes, funky beats, and loud volumes and screaming, and the ones who want emotions, soul searching, stories being told, and evocation of memories almost forgotten. While some were getting highs on the Led Zeppelin mentality stuff, I was researching Chuck Berry, mad the Beatles broke up, fascinated James Taylor, Jim Croce, the Carpenters, Carol King, Carly Simon, Gordon Lightfoot, and jazz. Every old song I know has a memory.

    Aww, how beautiful. Bless you. And yes, I get it with the memories and this song taking us back to our childhoods. It does that to me, too. What a beautiful reaction and thank you for your honesty and just being real. Blessings to you.

    Great reaction. You should try A Song For You. You are probably familiar with the Donnie Hathaway version. Also covered by Amy Winehouse. But Karen's voice on this one is truly amazing.

      Many have covered A Song For You. As well as The Carpenters, I love Aretha's version of the song.

    It makes me happy to see you rediscovering songs from your youth :-) This is at least the third or fourth I've seen so far. That power of music to connect us instantly to another time and place, and person... magic!
