The
Carpenters Legacy Lives On...
Only
Yesterday
Only
Yesterday / Happy - single:
"Only
Yesterday" became the last top 10 hit of the Carpenters in
May of 1975. I'm not sure if "Only Yesterday" is my
favorite Carpenters song, but it sure comes close. The first time
I actually heard this wonderful song was while watching the PBS
documentary "Close To You" Remembering The Carpenters.
Since then, it's probably the Carpenters song that I most frequently
play.
I
also really enjoy the "Only Yesterday" music video,
which is on the Carpenters "Gold" DVD. The music video
shows Richard and Karen Carpenter singing the song in a beautiful,
lush garden, which greatly reflects the tone and message of the
song. Most Carpenters fans already know this but just in case
you don't, the Carpenters filmed the video at the Huntington Library
& Botanical Gardens in San Marino California. I hope to visit
there someday. You can check out their website at: www.huntington.org
"Only
Yesterday" has a wonderful sound and message of promise and
hope for the future, and is enhanced with wonderful violin music
in the background. I tip my hat to Richard Carpenter and John
Bettis for writing this wonderful song.
