Oct 14, 2008 - This is such a good song, it actually makes me feel weird, it's hard to explain, kind of sad would be the best way to describe it, and unhappy, knowing what it's about.

momorg Says:

Oct 14, 2008 - The kind of simplistic nonchalance of Karen talking down from heaven is heartbreaking and simple. Gordon's delivery is wonderful. The song feels like a mini novel in that it effectively seems to go inside someone's mind.

Oct 14, 2008 - I love the words; at first they sound like dillusions of grandeur. But in context, they're actually dillusions of inadequacy.I associate Karen Carpenter to a positive vibe, though; defining her based on her disorder alone just sounds incomplete.

WhaleRider86 Says:

Oct 14, 2008 - you DONT understand the message kid

WhaleRider86 Says:

Oct 14, 2008 - by the way....in my opinion the beginning ...where you see shortly the carpenters on stage with karen with the head down and the very dark guitare sound from sonic youth...is so unbelievable dark and sad...wow...

MondoManiacs Says:

Oct 14, 2008 - To quote Kim Gordon "If this video played on MTV today, I would be a hit." haha. I love this so much. I'm glad to see the original cut. I've only seen the version with the Carpenters footage cut out. Where did you find this?
