Does anyone want to play?

With a limit of 16 songs on a CD, I'd like to discover evryone's DID of Carpenters favorites- duo or solo careers.

If you want to include your reasons for choosing a song, all the better.

I hope this turns out fun!

My list is below.

Mark




1. We've Only Just Begun- the one that started it all for me.
2. Kiss Me the Way You Did Last Night- an overlooked gem, IMHO
3. I Need to Be in Love (edit)
4. Baby It's You- shoulda been a single
5. Rainbow Connection- bittersweet lyrics and very tender
6. It's Impossible (from Como Medley)- should have been on Horizon
7. Last One Singin' the Blues- finally Karen's in control!
8. Hush- just love all those background vocals
9. Now- nice ending to it all- wish production were simplier.
10. Let Me Be the One- another missed opportunity
11. Our Day Will Come- fun and breezy. Wish there was a full version.
12. Medley with Ella- "Someone to Watch Over Me" is worth it all...
13. Sometimes
14. Still Crazy After All These Years
15. Desperado- shows Karen's version of most other song is the best
16. Your Baby Doesn't Love You Anymore
 
Please allow me twenty tracks, because there are so many great songs by Carpenters:

1. Reason To Believe(R)
2. One Love
3. A Song For You(R)
4. Top Of The World(R)
5. Yesterday Once More(R 1985)
6. There's A Kind Of Hush(R)
7. I Need To Be In Love(R)
8. Sweet Sweet Smile
9. I Just Fall In Love Again
10. Those Good Old Dreams
11. Now
12. Ordinary Fool
13. Where Do I Go From Here?
14. If I Had You( from Lovelines)
15. Trying To Get The Feeling
16. My Body Keeps Changing My Mind(from From The Top)
17. Make Believe (solo album version)
18. Nowhere Man
19. Leave Yesterday Behind
20. Karen's Theme

R means Remix
 
Thanks, Steve.

ONE LOVE is, in my opinion, a much underrated song. I would like Richard to remix it.

"Few are the choices we are given, the sands of time pass quickly by....."

As you all know, this verse was chosen for the inner sleeve of VOICE OF THE HEART.

But it's not only fitting for Karen; it's fitting for all of us.
Every decision we make, means not only a decision for something, but also against many other things.

And that time passes quickly,boy, I can tell you. Since my 30.birthday, I have this feeling. I'm now 38, so the first half of my life ( or even more) is already over.
