My God. This woman's voice awakens feelings that I cannot explain. I'm in love with her. It looks like she whispers the song in my lap. Karen didn't have to shout the song. She was on another level. Current singers can't hold a candle for KAREN

One of the greatest love songs of all time as Karen sings it. This song is a gem You hear the depth of her range. She was so clear and precise. You hear things like "those were simple songs," don't be fooled, these songs Karen performed were some of the hardest and most difficult to perform, but, Karen Carpenter pulled them off flawlessly and in perfect form.

To call her vocal talent simple is preposterous and insulting.

This is the version for me. Karen Carpenter's voice is very subtle. She seems plain, but there's a lot going on in this singer's throat. Her phrasing and timing are superb. Her timbre like no one else's.

Karen has been gone for almost 37 years come February 4th 2020 and is still one of the most beloved singers in the History of recorded music.. that's because she was just fabulous.. The best pop voice I ever heard.. She sang so pretty like no other..♥♥

It is magic and what l think makes it so unique and moving is that it has a melancholy that it is absolutely beautiful and evolves emotions readily.

Karen had that perfect voice - and when she sang the Angels stopped to listen! With the first note of any song, you know it's a Karen. Someone once told me her voice was magic. I agree. Miss you Karen Carpenter.

In another post, I wrote that I really, really think maybe the incredible frequency of her voice has a physical, not just emotional, capability. Her voice maybe truly affects our brains ; and then our brains, thankfully and blessedly, take it to our hearts . Or maybe that's my rationale for why she turns me into a wet mess so very often.

Thank you Lord for the short time the world had Karen and her beautiful voice.

Her songs make me so sad ! Shes gone but never forgotten ! Karen had the voice of an angel from heaven where she is now !

Karen Carpenter, The greatest female pop singer in history, was also a wonderful person! " She was pretty, talented, lovely & classy. "We've Only Just Begun" came out when I first started college. Symbolic of this wonderful song, the world was full of optimism looking for a brighter tomorrow, as people in their young twenties so often are. Nobody could deliver a song like Karen Carpenter. She had the most beautiful voice & nobody could arrange a song and play the keyboards like Richard Carpenter. I miss the Carpenters, their great songs and especially Karen Carpenter, my favorite singer ever!

Karen Carpenter was an Earth Angel.What a Beautiful One She was and Is.Her Voice was Pure Velvet.I will Always Love her and her Gift to this world.She was only passing through.

To say outstanding is an understatement ❤💙🧡

I think this song had enormous hit potential. The lyrics, Richard’s masterful arrangements and Karen’s voice unequaled. By 1978 Top 40 Radio held an unfair bias to their product which is a shame. I think this song is stronger than “I believe you” which I think was also recorded during the same 1978 sessions. If only they were given the respect they earned and deserved.😢

The Carpenters were my all time favorite group back in High School.

Once again, I hear that sweet, emotive voice and the tears flow...

The angelical Voice to Karen Carpenters is Very good , the best.

Thanks Ned! So beautiful and timeless. This is what Classic means. We miss you terribly Karen.

When I watched "The Karen Carpenter Story" in 1989...there was a little snip of this song being played during the movie. The moment I heard it...my heart just MELTED away. This is a VERY touching song and EVERY time I hear it...I get all CHOKED UP INSIDE!! It's just one of those kinds of tunes that just makes me feel that way. The way she sang this song was the BEST I ever heard of in my life because she had such a BEAUTIFUL voice. The song also came out in 1978.

The VOICE!!! Pure magic, so smooth!!! Miss her!!!

Karen's music brings out so much good and..also sadness. Our hearts hurt when we hear her angelic voice and we tend to think, what if that day in February hadn't happened. We missed so much with her passing, I guess that's why we have to cherish what she left behind for us all.

Outstandingly song describe one beautiful Autumn day full of nature gifts like "golden" leaves spiced by Karen's smooth voice from heaven !! WONDERFUL !!

Such a beautiful angelic voice that left the earth way to soon!

Her heart is full of love and emotion with all of her songs and this is a perfect example of her beauty and style. Unfortunately we have lost a great talent!

My dear friends, I love Carpenters from my childhood and this song is the MOST beautiful and absolutely excellent in all ways.

WHAT A VOICE.MY FATHER WOULD PLAY HIS EIGHT TRACK TAPE OF HER WHEN I WAS LITTLE. AND I ASKED HIM WHOS GORGEOUS VOICE THIS WAS AND IM 48 AND STILL LISTEN TO HER MUSIC, WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER VOICE LIKE HERS LOVE YA KAREN

This song just wrecks me. I imagine it's about the death of a lover, gone forever. Fortunately the disco interlude brings it up a bit near the end. So beautifully and sadly sung, Karen, as always.

Still have my vinyls such happy memories...I remember when my grandad died 1990 I was playing the lovelines album in the car " where do I do go from here" played as I left the hospital...so fitting 😥🙏❤️🎶🎵

In many songs of the Carpenters it was very impressive to listen to the drums, and this happens in this song, take the task of listening only to the drums, and you will understand, Karen's passion was drums and she was the best drummer by far, and his voice is pure gold

"Carpenters - Where Do I Go From Here?" GOOD PERFORMER thanks Autumn days Lying on a bed of leaves Watching clouds up through the trees You said our love was more than time It's colder now The trees are bare and nights are long I can't get warm since you've been gone I can't stop singin' sad songs (*) Where do I go from here? Tell me where do I go from here? You said you'd take me through the years So where do I go from here? Lover's plans Like fallin' leaves on windy days Flutter past and they fly away I though I knew you oh so well And I need you now I need to feel you in the night I need to your smile so warm and bright I wish my mind could let you go Repeat (*) You said you'd take me through the years So where do I go from here?

I can’t find a better or even an equal to KAren! She makes my heart happy every time I hear her voice! Then I am so saddened that we lost her so young! She was so beautiful too!

Can’t stop playing this .Beautiful .

Exactly what's happened to me, the only two little differences are that i'm 47 and that was not my father but my older brother who would play the Carpenters on our mc player. The first time that i heard her i was only 6 years old, and from 1971 she's in my soul and in my heart. For me, she's like a marvelous dream ... simply infinite!

Autumn is truly the most magical season of all! SO BEAUTIFUL!

such a beautiful song.

Heartwrenching song from one who, like my beautiful late wife Heather, was too good for this world and taken from it all too soon. One moment we were new parents, married three years prior and head-over-heels in love, the next I was stumbling alone through a bleak grey February aching for her presence and trying to figure out how I was going to get through the rest of my life now that my soul mate was gone and all our plans lay in ashes. Heather loved the Carpenters and the fall (naturally, she was a New England girl after all), and this song encapsulated the sense of nostalgia and hopelessness of those first months and years without her. Almost a decade has now passed and the raw pain inevitably blunted somewhat but not the memory of my lost love and nor will it ever be while my own heart continues to beat. Until we meet again sweetheart 💔

Autumn days Lying on a bed of leaves Watching clouds up through the trees You said our love was more than time It's colder now The trees are bare and nights are long I can't get warm since you've been gone I can't stop singin' sad songs (*) Where do I go from here? Tell me where do I go from here? You said you'd take me through the years So where do I go from here? Lover's plans Like fallin' leaves on windy days Flutter past and they fly away I though I knew you oh so well And I need you now I need to fell you in the night I need to your smile so warm and bright I wish my mind could let you go Repeat (*) You said you'd take me through the years So where do I go from here?

Where do I go from here.. Could almost be Richards song. Saying now where do I go from here. In memory of his sister. KC not was, but will always in my heart and tears for the music she sang and the never fulfilled possibilities.. You along with Mireille Matheiu be forever my most favourite voices. X
