Carpenters - Goodbye To Love (Lyrics)

[@Sam62254]

My all-time favorite. God... Karen's voice is from Heaven. Nobody even comes close.

[@gericrouch4234]

I've thought the same for years and cried over and over that she left us so soon. I'm 58

[@patrickryan1515]

Richard Carpenter was a genius when it came to blending sounds, and Karen was the perfect element for any mix created.

[@Boddissatva]

The beauty of this song is the message is so sad and the melody is so bright and beautiful. A wonderful contrast.

[@salmonella4u]

Lol. Well, have you ever heard the Elton John song from the 1970's "Gonna kill Myself"? That one is a real contrast.

[@RobertKincaid-vq3hn]

this song came out on late 1972 and this is a power ballad ,imagine Karen AND Richard singing this , but this a different arrangement , the multi layered vocal song

[@salmonella4u]

Also, I'm sure you've heard Supertramp's "Take the long way home". Another sort of upbeat song that has lyrics wrapped around despair and regrets.

[@danger-d2909]

songs are not about high notes it's just about soulfull, meaningful and pretty simple voice.. i love you karen in heaven😘

[@TMendocino]

I am a senior citizen now and married. But back in the day when I was young and looking for love or just felt sad, I would put this song on and have a good cry! The innocence of youth!

[@andinayla4916]

[@stanslempa523]

I was single when Karen was alive and felt the joy and sorrow in her songs, I was living it too. Later in life I found my first and only love; I know Karen sent her. The future is a mystery to us all...I love you Karen Carpenter.

[@Rodrigo_Oliveira.]

The trumpet brings a touch of elegance to this beautiful song.

[@Barracuda24-f3w]

A haunting and gorgeous voice! Such a legend, Karen! ❤

[@jeanne5354]

Speaks directly to the FEAR of consumption. Afraid of living again for FEAR OF PAIN. Speaks of fear disguised as all that one is afraid of, love.

[@Linda220677]

So many of us here have struggled to find love. It makes me sad but it is also comforting to know I'm not alone 😭 💔

[@emiliorodrigues7]

This song is so beautiful and sad at the same time...but I love it

[@bobbybillinstien]

i like how upbeat the song is for such depressing lyrics

[@thegreenbird795]

the 70's was big on songs like that

[@SlieveLeague1]

I find "Rainy Days & Mondays" is the same. When Paul Williams (the composer) sings it, it's a totally different song. Somehow Karen Carpenter could lighten tragic lyrics.

[@TheOnlyOneStanding8079]

No its reality for most of us and you can still live happily with friends and family members just think all the blessings you have

[@ellasmommy9278]

This is right where I am right now. I thought I found somebody I could love, and we didn't get that far and it's blowing up in my face.

Most of us had experienced saying goodbye to love. But the memories lingers til time immemorial.. 🥰❤️🥰

[@FauZhee]

I love Carpenters but recently it's been a while since I listen to their songs but- this magically is recommended to me in my feed and when I listen, the lyrics is very accurate to my situation right now. I used to find my love, with every efforts I can... but I always fail in the end. They got another girls before we even tried... to the point that I feel like I give up for this, especially after the death of my father recently, before I get a chance to get marry... this makes me feel even hopeless, what Karen sang here is what I truly feel right now, but yeah even this song has a line when there is still hope in the future, and I will believe in that. Tomorrow we'll never know, perhaps in my hardest point of life right now I will find the bright future. I pray.

[@tugsboldgerelchuluun6973]

Amen 🙏

[@suziew1267]

Loved her voice since a child. Feeling this atm.

[@cocoaorange1]

I did too as a 70's child. Next month marks the 40th anniversary of her death! I was 15, and return when my grandma told me the sad news. Timeless music!

[@cocoaorange1]

I meant remember!

[@MillardMorden]

Yes! Top of the world blew me away when I was a kid!

[@PilatesAnne]

There are no tomorrow's for this heart of mine. What lies in the future is a mystery to us all. Thinking about her makes me treasure being alive. I wish she could have lived.

[@AllenCNW441]

[@eniar2669]

When it was featured in Minions I got excited af! Carpenters is the best and deserve to be featured

[@jefsky59]

I remember many many moons ago listening to The Carpenters now when I look at her when I hear her sing I cry and they're not tears of joy tears of status of sorrow that the poor girl was so sad and lonely even though everybody around her loved her something was missing I think she just couldn't find true love I'm crying right now she sings like an Angel how could anybody not love her I'm so sad I can't find any Joy of her songs anymore she was truly in pain and agony such a sweet sorrow!

[@steffanhoffmann8937]

The genius of Richard and his sister Karen's fab voice. Production outstanding and harmony direction by Richard. The Carpenters were loved in Great Britain. 🇬🇧🇺🇸

[@riamac6010]

In the Philippines too. A singer in the Philippines even imitated her singing style and became famous. But of course no one can beat the original Karen Carpenter. So sad… she longed to be loved since childhood and her dream of having a loving husband and to have children didn’t come true. Same thing that happened to me 😢 … that’s why recently I’m engrossed to singing this song 😢

[@raiiden7263]

I love carpenters for all of their jazzy songs and this is totally one of them

[@erinessagonzales9170]

Such sad song ,but it's really is touching ❤️

[@UN1VERS3S]

[@xsleepyangelx1896]

Yes!! I kept on repeating the solo part. Makes me cry . 🥲

[@shwetakarmakar820]

Wonderful song ❤

[@kamarth9]

Beautiful, sad, and hopeful song. Sung with karen's beautiful voice. Seems like the song described my situation when I first heard it and almost cried inside and out. But at least I found God's perfect Love and I hope his love will find the right one for me on Earth. 💜

*MINI BOSS !*

[@victoriabelle2271]

I am now turning 26 years old.. no boy friend since birth. I first heard this song when i watched minions. And i feel sad and feel empty at the same time. This song speaks to me. I know i've been single for such long period of time(since birth) im not forcing myself to have relationship. Im just typical person who doesnt eaily fall in love. And honestly i feel empty and lonely feel out of place most of the times with my friends who are now married. I don't know maybe there's really no one for me. My older sisters have their own family now. The only thing i mostly do is work and go home. Tried to socialize but still uh, when i start to like someone and i feel he doesnt like me or maybe im thinking too much so idealistic i guess dont know anymore

[@Havealocalife]

26 here too and I've tried for years but every time I liked someone I would get rejected. I'm thinking back at all my efforts to find love and it's been a waste of time. Especially since everyone else seems to pair up easily or they just find hookups and have fun, whereas I struggle to get a second date. So I might just give up dating for now

[@louisa5518]

Try being 33 and still no love and been rejected or hurt so many times. You're young. Still a chance out there for all.

[@G4b111]

I'm living the same. 26yo, single since birth, feeling sad and empty, no hope for love in my future 😢

This comment makes me feel terrible. I don’t like thinking about people having to accept loneliness for the rest of their life, the past of bad memories and experiences. But now they’re done, they can’t take their youth back. I’m glad that you’re happy though. Thanks for sharing.

[@wideawakerealist2141]

@@cassidy-zh9ie there’s a difference between alone and loneliness. I never feel lonely, and I quite like being alone. Obviously I’ve got family, a couple of good friends and my dogs. I also online a lot, where I have a small circle of trusted friends to chat with so it’s all good. The worst thing about getting old is deteriorating health and adapting to not being able to do all the things one once did with ease, but that comes to most people eventually. So don’t be sad, it’s not all doom and gloom …but I am not coming back, if that option exists, , as some people claim…this time was quite enough. Lol

My all time favourite song from the Carpenters. It takes me back to when I was a teenager and the day Karen died. Still makes me feel sad when I hear the Song. Continue to Rest in peace. Your Legacy will live on❤😢🙏🏽

[@denielle76]

This is the song I used to sing when my first love broke my heart..Yeah, that was 25 years ago. Both of us got married..He became widowed and remarried..Some of my friends told me, maybe if we got married I was the one who died.Well, my relationship with him was fun and memorable ( as I was a teenager ) but that relationship was short. It wasn't even reached one year😂😂. I was immature and he wanted me to change to the things that I wasn't ready to adapt , so it didn't workout. Well anyway, it's really nice to reminisce the past.

I recalled hearing this song in Minions: The Rise of Gru; the Minions play it as they mourn for Gru's aggressive stormoff and grow glum. Kevin then fails to save Gru from one of the goons who kidnapped him and brought him to Wild Knuckles (Alan Arkin) in San Francisco, California.

A song for me

[@paulaarmendariz517]

I ❤this song 🎵

[@dallasheltzell]

That surprising and astounding fuzz guitar riff at the end is by Anthony F. "Tony" Peluso (March 28, 1950 - June 5, 2010). From Wikipedia: While the Carpenters were working on the song, Richard Carpenter decided that a fuzz guitar solo should be included. Karen Carpenter called guitarist Tony Peluso and asked him to play on the record. Tony remembers: "At first I didn't believe that it was actually Karen Carpenter on the phone but she repeated her name again. ... It was at this point that I realized it was really her and that I was speaking to one of my idols." She told him that she and Richard were working on a song called "Goodbye to Love", that they were familiar with Tony's work with a band called Instant Joy, and that he would be perfect for the sound they were looking for. Peluso first played something soft and sweet, but then Richard Carpenter said: "No, no, no! Play the melody for five bars and then burn it up! Soar off into the stratosphere! Go ahead! It'll be great!" John Bettis has said that Richard Carpenter kept calling him, raving about the guitar solo. He was wondering why Richard was going on about the solo until he heard it. The lyricist said he cried when he first heard the song because he had never heard an electric guitar sound like that. He said Tony Peluso "had a certain almost cello sounding guitar growl that worked against the wonderful melancholia of that song". He went on to say the "way it growls at you, especially at the end" was unbelievable. The Carpenters received hate mail (claiming that the Carpenters had sold out and gone hard rock)
