Who is your favourite singer ? For me I like Carpenter.Carpenter is the music band in about 1970 year.The singer of this band is women name Karen Carpenter and her brother Richart Carpenter play the piano.I think Karen voice is very good.Every of her song is very sweet.I like to listen their song in my free time.I think I have listened all of their songs.In my opinion the best song of Carpenter is Yesterday once more I think this song have a very good meaning. Karen was died for a few years so I can not listen her new song I can only listen her old song.

"when i was young i listen to the radio , waiting for myfavourite songs,When they play i sing along , it made me smile......."

Besides, I like Don Mclean very much, after i listen this songs---Vincent!!I think this songs is just like a poem!!The begining of the lyrics is already very beautiful!!
"Starry starry night...."

hi,winnie

how are you?
i have read the song's lyrics you suggested.all the stuff is good.
Starry, Starry night
Portraits hung in empty halls
Frameless heads on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged men in ragged clothes
The silver thorn, a bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.
Now I think I know
What you tried to say, to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free:
They would not listen; they're not listening still--
Perhaps they never will.......
i catognize it as a tragedy.do you? Idea

but i can't find his cd.i really want to listen to it.so i intend to download it somewhere in the internet.i 'll be extremly appreciative if you know where it is ? Wink

good for you Exclamation

hi cckaren ,
it's so good that we can shared the song together!! where can you find the lyrics??
i think if we just look at the some part of the lyrics or may be some sentences only !!! it sounds like a poem !! a very beautiful poem !! but any way , you are right , the feeling it bring out is quite sad!!! really a tragedy!!
indeed, i don't know how to download it!!!!
But i buy the cds a year before! and the cds 'name is Best of original favourites!!! with 5 cds in a pack!! so may be you can find it in HMV!!!
Are there any HMV in your place??
