Carpenters - Sometimes

[@rgaryc1111]

Karen always bowed her head before she sang. I've always wondered why. Was she going to a place that allowed her to deliver with her heart and soul? Did she immerse herself in the song in total empathy with the lyrics? Then she would raise her head and deliver the most incredible performance. No one like her has emerged since her passing. Incredible!

[@felizamalibiran6180]

So beautiful!

[@kingskidgirl2]

I think you hit the nail right on the head, yes. Well said. 👍🏻

[@jetvalmonte6574]

I’ve never thought of that but you are right.

[@jazzmaan707]

WOW! Her voice, that of an angel, as many have said. No other voice on earth gets to me, like Karen's voice. No other singer has ever touched me the way that Karen's voice touches my soul. You know, I feel like this was to be her signature, "Goodbye song," long before she died, as it's beautiful, sincere, and very touching at the same time. Yes, this was how Karen always sang. As John Bettis said, who co-wrote 36 of their hits, about when he first heard her sing at age 16. "Karen had that God-Given voice, without ever working on it. And she didn't consider herself a singer, she always considered herself just a drummer that sings."

[@whitsundaydreaming]

Im wrecked. Just no words …

[@tbovedilla]

40 years without her. It feels more than one lifetime. 🤍

[@jjsmith949]

Wow, no other artist could perform this song like Karen. One of the greatest voices of the 20th Century. You are truly missed.

[@jamesdevlin6373]

Karen still sounds incredible in 2021. When Covid is just a distant memory, Karen will still be lifting our hearts.

[@waynebrasler]

Exquisite. She is one of the great singers who really did not have a style. She simply took every song she sang and made it live. A rare talent; even some of our greatest artists can perform brilliantly but they cannot bring real life to their music.

[@andylee2608]

Well said sir. In a day and age, and maybe the last 30 years, where most singers only like to showcase their "soulfulness", "power", "brilliance", "virtuosity", only Karen can empower the voice through words with her unpretentious singing style and angelic voice. Now who really has the "soul"?

[@kdkeydude1]

Richard wasn't bad on the piano either, lol ! Beautiful song !

[@Richard_Fouts]

God himself kissed Karen's throat.

[@sharondollosa6360]

YES

[@shanty4590]

Don’t think she thought about style then , just preforming. Nowadays there all over styling

[@ronhronh]

When you hear something so beautiful, you want to hear it over and over again. This performance is the perfect balance amongst unbelievable talents: Richard's elegant piano, Karen's sumptuous vocal perfection and the Mancinis' soulful melody and lyrics. It's a marvelous, musical and emotional experience.

[@evangelinatobinski1569]

And the question that millions across the world may be wondering about, Why didn’t Agnes love Karen the way a mother should?

[@Graham_Brooks1]

There will never ever be a singer as good as Karen. There was real depth; clarity and emotion in her song . She was simply velvet.

[@marybutcher9511]

She was absolutely exquisite and just the best period.

[@stevebenard278]

I read the lyrics of this song at my mother’s funeral. ❤

[@bruschmidt9943]

Wow, every single lyric sung to absolute perfection, just phenomenal! I noticed at 1:39 how she sang the word, "people". There have only been two (2) Artists in all of Music History who have sung that word so majestically: Barbara Streisand & Karen Carpenter 😇 Yes, Perfection!

[@RobGa66]

Sounds just as good as the studio recording.

[@tompearson2486]

Exquisitily beautiful and enchanted since it was released decades ago. No one but karen can do this.

[@sammy2840]

Had the words to this printed on our Wedding Program! Love it!

[@divaslive6953]

No one is like her, not even before and mostly not even today..... they can sing her song, sounded a little bit like her, but definitely cannot be like her. She is only one and they cannot reproduce or duplicate her mostly her voice, talent, grace, and class.💓💖💗

[@hhsrrrr]

Richard Carpenter's accompaniment was superb. Such a beautiful touch.

[@cimarronhopper2261]

Karens voice was so much better though

[@davidwhitlock9443]

Plan to have this record played at my funeral...but not for a long time I hope !! Undoubtably the best female pop singer of all time.....

[@davidkatz6673]

David Whitlock I had the very same thought!

[@wildmountainthyme4123]

Thank you Karen for all your beautiful songs. I will always miss you.

[@tonygrainger7862]

Beautiful song, which Karen sings beautifully, with heartfelt emotion.

[@mdmphd]

A perfect example of Richard's touch on the keys. There's so much of his training in this, the subtleties, different shades and tones - Karen often gets the boatload of praise but this is a specific instance where I think of Richard's pianocraft. Good post!

[@matrox]

Yeh...beautiful intro.

[@purevoicepowercoaching7602]

This is probably my favourite song in the world. What a wonderful video. Karen's singing is superb and Richard's playing is perfection. ♪♫ Thank you for posting.

How the essence of the human incarnation gets summed up in less than 3 minutes. God bless all of you. I love you.

the bowed head just before she delivers her angelic phrasing. As if Karen is lost in prayer before she utters the first note of her song ❤❤❤

Karen's voice is a comfort each day and Richard's arrangement touches nerves.

[@fool4singing]

Truly timeless...

[@MiroslavWD]

Heavenly beautiful!! I have been listening to her works (no, their works) since high school. Feel sad for her real life experience which was not very happy, sorry to think of the fact that she passed away even before I was born. We can now enjoy the talent, grace, and beauty only on recordings. I wish her soul peace, happiness, and eternity. -Respect from a fan in Beijing, China

[@willowway4104]

It's truly a letter in a song...love it...

[@littlejpl]

Richards piano in this song is so beautiful but when Karen's voice breaks into to the music tears just swell into my eyes. Oh God how special this Angles voice is, it just drills me to the depths of my soul. Is there any expression above perfection? Because if there is, Karen's voice fits it. The lyrics in this song is Very Special as well. Very few of us tell our love ones how much we love them enough, Very few!

okay i'm crying again... i love love love you so much karen rest in peace and i really want to thank you

[@brianfitzpatrick2581]

I heard stories that she was a perfectionist, when in the studio recording songs that everyone thought the take was perfect, she would not be satisfied and want to do it again, I think that's why she was so good live, because the audience didn't hear a sour note, but she did. She is one of my favorite voices male/female ever.

A voz de Karen é abençoada por Deus para encantar os corações de todo planeta.
