Your Most-relatable Carpenters Song

CarpentersToYou's Photo CarpentersToYou 20 Aug 2003

What Carpenters song totally describes you.
Here are mine (please give 5 max)

1.I Need To Be In Love -
Really, I do need to be in love! It describes all I am. Since my first love is graduated and moving on in their life!

2.(I'm Caught Between) Goodbye and I Love You -
there was a time in my life last year, that my first love, well, I really started questioning my future and life and love. It was a very emotional time in my life

3.Your The One -
Reminds me of my first love (and last love to date). I never actually went out, or was loved back, but it felt frickin' great! I was all smiles inside!

4.I Belive You -
Love is sooo blind! That's how I first felt when I fell in love!

5.You -
that explains itself!

I can't wait to hear yours!

Great topic, Alex! Very creative! :)

Here's mine :o

1) Love Me for What I am

2) Place to Hideaway

3) Road Ode (although for me it's more like plane ode)

3)We've Only Just Begun ('cause I'm so old :D )

4) I Need to be in Love

well Alex, what can I say, this is a very difficult topic, because i never payed attention to the lyrics of the songs, I've learned the little bit of english i know a few years ago.
But here I go

Sweet, sweet smile

Ok, I have to laugh or smile everyday. The day I don't show a smile means that I'm sick or feel really, really depress.

Yesterday once more

I've always love music. I began to sing before I could talk. And always loved yesterday's songs. This represented me pretty much

Goodbye to love

This describes exactly what I feel when I had a heartache

Only yesterday

This is a very optimistic song and reflects my point of view specially the phrase:
"Tomorrow may be even brighter than today" I love this way thinking. Great lyrics from john Bettis

I need to be in love

What can I say, this describes exactly what's going on in my life now. I love this particular lyric 'cause it says "Wake up, fool!!! don't you give a chance on love some time???

Alex you made me read all the lyrics and I found more than 5!!!!! :)

What a great topic! Here's mine.

Let Me Be the One - in relation to those I feel closest to.

All You Get From Love is a Love Song - How freaking true. :)

Eve - For whatever reason, this song strikes a personal chord. I can't explain it much beyond that.

Those Good Old Dreams - Describes my childhood perfectly! "As a child I was known for make-believin'..."

Where Do I Go From Here - I relate this song to my eating disorder.

Rainy Days and Mondays - A perfect song on those "down" days. Speaks for me word for word.

Wow this is a great topic! well so I can put only 5 songs, let me think about it....


Rainy days and mondays: For me the saddest song of them all...This song describes me when I was alone at school, it says exactly what I felt, especially these parts:
What I've got they used to call the blues
Nothing is really wrong
Feeling like I don't belong
Walking around some kind of lonely clown
Rainy days and mondays alwas get me down
Funny but it seems that it's the only thing to do
Run and find the one who loves me
Those were really bad times! and each time I listened to this song I cried!!

Honlulu city lights:Well, when I went to Mexico city I felt very happy cause it was a dream come true but when I was on the plane leaving that city and I saw it from the sky the only song that was on my mind was ''Honolulu city lights'':
Lookin' out upon the city lights
And the stars above the ocean
Got my ticket for the midnight plane
And it's not easy to leave again
( there's no ocean there though! but yes, it was very late and I saw it lights and it was sad :D )

I won't last a day without you:Oh my gosh! what a sad song!!! yeah, like ''Rainy days'' I think in my friends with this song, when I'm alone, I also think in Karen when I'm listening this song, that I won't last a day without her voice and without her music.....and yes, sometimes I think in a special person in my life!:
Day after day, I must face a world of strangers
Where I don’t belong, I’m not that strong
It’s nice to know that there’s someone I can turn to
Who will always care, you’re always there




Those good old dreams
: Some parts remind me my travel to Mexico city, well, all the chours, especially ''Heres the morning that my heart had seen'' and yes, it also reminds me that ''special person'' too :o

Top of the world: You'll say SHUT UP but YESSS! THIS SONG ALSO REMINDS ME ABOUT MEXICO CITY! HAHAHA!!!ok let me explain, it describes what I was feeling there! when I went to my favorite tv show and when I met those special people that I love very much who I see on TV every day and they're like my family! I couldn't believe it!! so I was on the top of the world! all the song says what I was feeling!! :)

Really good topic, Alex! I give you props! Here's mine-

1. Top Of The World- Everybody in my life has been wonderful! They always "put at the top of the world"!
2. Sing A Song- okay, let me tell ya, I'm the worst singer in the world, but this song always makes me sing, remember "don't worry that it's not good enough for anyone else to here"!
3. Sometimes- I think about those people who mean so much to me, they've made
me so very happy. Sometimes I forget to say thank you. So.... "Thank you everybody! I love ya!"

:P This is a great topic.

Well I only have three....ok considering I've been seriously INTO The Carpenters for about 3 weeks now (I'm ashamed, I am.)

Yesterday Once More because music has such a powerful effect on me.

Bless The Beasts and the Childern because I believe that all people, big and small, black or white, gay or straight etc deserve equality.

Rainy Days and Mondays because I've had "teenage depression" for a year and two days and I just can relate to it...
