hi there!

dunno how I shall call it in english.. so I thought I write "memorial shrine"..
maybe u guys think that I'm a strange girl.. (well, maybe bc I am but..)
I just felt like I have to light a candle for karen and so this little memorial place is born..
dunno if someone else does this but if so - I would like to see a picture of it..



sorry for the quality...

<- the smile does not fit but, I'm listening to karens voice since some h. and I'm still not tired of it... as said before at another topic, to listen to her/their music is one of the best ways to keep in mind the wonderful voice, the wonderful person behind it,... and..

I know I know... I write so much stupid things..
but I'm so sad.. its unbelievable..
I dont really understand myself.. I didnt know her, I did not have the honour to meet her,........

I think that's incredibly sweet

It sure is.

I think we all find it hard to understand what we feel and why we feel it, even at my age I still shed a tear today when I listen to them sing, they were just perfect. Your shrine is beautiful just like Karen and a fitting tribute from a true fan


May your God be with you

thx for your kind words

I dont really know what to say 'cause what you wrote touched my heart so much and I dont even know why!?!?
this whole thing is so wired..
I thank you so much for what you wrote about the shrine. I know it's small and.. it's a bit but..
we feel like we feel and I dont want to HIDE anything.

I was very confused when I first got in to the Carpenters, and I still wonder how I can feel so attached to them. I obviously never met her, but I feel like she was a close friend--like I can feel her pain and share in her emotions.

I felt like I should've been holding a candlelight vigil or something...

=(

That's really sweet, Conny and Jamie.


One thing I've learned on this forum is that everybody has their own reasons for why they feel attached to Karen, everybody relates to a different aspect of her, and even those who don't particularly relate to her, still feel quite attached, because it triggers something inside of them.

I hope the day went okay for you guys

mhmmm.....
you guys already know that I'm a very strange girl so....
LOL

take a look

ahh conny that's awesome...but why the frowny mickey mouse face?

I agree...I know Karen didnt write any of her songs...but when I first started listening to The Carpenters music I felt she was singing about all the insecurities and self-consciousness in my head...some of the lyrics resonate uncannily with my life...the way she articulates certain phrases is just jaw-droppingly amazing and sad...does anyone know that song "Killing Me Softly"? Because when i first heard a few Carpenters songs, I felt exactly like the chorus in that song "She was strumming my pain with her fingers...singing my life with her word...killing me softly with her song...killing me softly...with her song...telling my whole life...with her words...killing me softly..." I almost feel embarrassed listening to some songs Karen sings as its like she singing about my life and all the **** going on in my head and life

^ Definitely. I love music/songs that I can relate to, and I've definitely found that with the Carpenters. Someone on here said that they're the soundtrack of their life, and it's so very true.

That's a really nice tribute you've got set up.

you know......
karen loved mickey mouse stuff...
or am I wrong?
and so I thought that may fit there..

now I'm really unsure LOL

Ya, she did love mickey mouse and disney stuff...

Cool shrine, Conny


What's that dragon with the sword? Looks interesting.

i love caren!
