When I was young and naïve, I wanted this played at my wedding. 30 years later, I'm old, jaded, and single. And still want to have it played my wedding.
Clearly you are not too old or jaded as you would not want this song. I am not sure that if Karen were alive, she would want it either. It is so hopelessly optimistic; horribly, hopelessly optimistic. If you ever get married (and clearly I want for you what you want for yourself) I would suggest "Love me for what I am", "In these shoes", "Dance yourself Dizzy", "Who Are You?", "Married Man Blues" and possibly "It goes to show you never can tell." Good luck
Thanks for the suggestions, but none of the songs you listed come anywhere near the caliber of one of Karen's love songs. I miss that "hopeless, horrible, optimism" of my youth. I get some of it back every time I listen to "Top Of The World." And that's the magic.
Hardly hopeless...I'm a cynical person, but this and various other beautiful love songs would be on my lengthy wedding playlist if I did wind up finding the right one and marrying him.
This song has special meaning to me ~ my Dad used to sing this to me when I was very young ~ he passed away in 1987, when I was 23 and I can't listen to this without crying and wishing that he was still here with me and that we could sing this together again. I just recently bought a home from which I can look out my windows and see the mountain range and sunsets and think I'm on Top of the World and close to my Dad in Heaven. Happy Father's Day Dad, you always made me feel like I was On Top of the World!! : )
82sweetheart Wow..What a stunning heart-felt comment (unlike many nasty TH-cam posts). We all have to go some day. I am sure you will meet your dad in heaven. Take good care, sweetheart!
She's been gone for over 30 years and I still feel nostalgic every time I hear her sing. She had one of the most natural and beautiful voices I've ever heard. I miss her...
This is just pure golden memories for me as a kid growing up in the 70's. Karen had that warm and easy to listen to voice that I still listen to today. Taken far too soon, Jesus loves her the way her mother refused to. Not forgotten Karen.❤
Karen's death in 1983 was the only death of another person outside of my family that I personally grieved. I had been so in love with her as a kid, and was heartbroken at the news of losing her. I wish I could tell all the people who made my life life happy by their talent "thank you" in person. Wherever you are, Karen, thank you from the bottom of my heart for what your songs did for my soul.
You sound like a kind person. The world needs kind hearts especially these years lately that the nation is divided from left to right by fake news, and lies from a ". . rumpy" bastard.
Same here dude. I was 11 when Karen recorded this in 72. I count my blessings that I grew up listening to such beautiful music - as opposed to today's garbage. What a voice Karen had.
I am 88 years old and every time I hear Karen Carpenter sing this song, it takes me back to the time when I first fell in love with my husband. He is gone now, but I still get a thrill when I think of the sweet, special time of our lives that continued for more than 63 years. He did put me "on top of the world."
The first time I heard this song was over a crappy little AM radio at my grandmothers house. I was there to do my homework after school, I couldn't been more than ten, and I really didn't want to be there. Then over this crappy little radio- this VOICE comes cutting through the air. It was the voice of Karen Carpenter singing what would become my favorite Carpenters song. Pure and simple. Incredible moment I will never forget.
The world lost you on this date 33 years ago. I miss you everyday. Your short presence on this earth was short, but everlasting in my heart. Thanks for the wonderful memories.
Top of the world 🌎 is one of the best songs sung. There is so much love like two beautiful voices like love birds. There is no one who can replace these wonderful voices. ✨️ Remembering lovely Richard Carpenters and the happy times we shared together ❤️ ♥️ 💖 💙 Lots of Love from your Sister Karen Carpenters ❤❤❤❤ 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 bouquets 💐 ♥️ ❤️ 💖 💙 💐 🌹 🌸 🏵 🌼 🌞
Karen has truly inspired me through her songs and life story. She left behind a wealth of beautiful material to edify the world. In my humble opinion, her life could only be described as one that was extremely beneficial to man kind.
Finally, as a non-native speaker and listen to this music when I was 5 years old, this song is really hard to find. Sometime I just "hmmm, hmmm, hmmm" Alone by myself. Childhood memories restored. :)
yesssss...;-) I can remember this so well :-), while dancing with my first blessing and gift of my first Daughter in 1972 ... this was the real interpretation of......................... "" I'm on the Top of the World looking , down on creation , and I won' t be surprised if its a dram .. Yesss,, Indeed I was ... and am still looking down on creation with her , her sister , brother , and our all offsprings Thank you dear God for your most wonderful gift of our life ( mamma and papa )
+keiichi kanai This post is my favorite because it describes how I felt when I was blessed with my triplets after waiting so many years! I was on the top of the world because of them!!! They were always smiling at me from a young age because I was always smiling at them! Thanks for reminding me that this song is not just a love song for couples; it is a love song for mothers and children too :)
I haven't heard this song in years, but lately it's been going through my mind, so I thought I would listen to it again. It certainly is a cheery tune. Karen Carpenter had a beautiful voice.
I always liked this version better than the later one. The harmony is tighter and they get a really cool sound on the line "ever since you've been around." Karen Carpenter had the best female voice in music, ever. I miss her still.
I hope Karen can see all these people watching her video's on computer screens....she should be happy that people are enjoying her music all these years later.
1:43. Listen to how she transitions from “for” to “me”. Smooth, effortless transition, from one note to another, spot-on. Tuneful, delightful. She was truly a one-of-a-kind singer.
I can't hold my tears back when I think of the person who put me in the top and the world and now is gone, it's been 12 years but his magic was so big, than all I need to do is close my eyes, remember him and I'm back on the top, and when I open them, there is only one wish on my mind... Miss you Arturo, RIP
Wow this song is so pure, magical and innocent. It makes me want to go to 1972 and just lie in an open field on a hot sunny day and have a picnic with this song on a radio.
it is sad, i read she wasnt ready for the star she became, it said she played drums cause she had stage fright, im glad the courts give people 2nd changes bye getting them help instead of jail
"I'm on top of the world looking down on creations and the only explaination I can find is the love that I found ever since you've been around.Your love puts me at the top of the world." Thanks God because Your love lift me up to the sky to top of the world.
They have such beautiful songs...and Close to You is my fav far and away. But this song seems to show the amazingly pure talent of her voice. I may have said this in another post, but I thought it was so cute when she said in regards to comments about her wonderful voice, "I'm a drummer who sings." Even Karen didn't fully appreciate the Gog-given given of her voice.
Wow! Thanks for sharing this. Something I remember from the movie which to me is obvious in any videos or pictures, Richard and Karen were all but joined at the hip. They loved each other so much and it still breaks my heart for Richard because for almost 32 years now he's had to cope with her absence. Some of the questions that he gets asked seem so harsh. Why ask how he is feeling? He is grieving and will probably grieve all the way to his own grave. God bless them both.
When I was just a kid I would sing this song at the top of my lungs while riding my horse. My dear sweet mare was with me for 33 years and even near the end of her life I would sing this gently in her ear and she would lean in closer. RIP my sweet Midnight. You are what put me on top of the world.
This song does remind me of how I felt when I was first in love. I married my sweetheart and his love did just put me on top of the world. He died in April of last year, after 63 years of marriage. The popular songs of today hardly make anyone feel like they are on top of the world, more like the bottom! Thank you.
Karen Carpenter is one of those voices you'd know anywhere...like Whitney Houston or Dionne Warwick. I don't know how you'd really describe it but it's glorious.
kepstein8888 I hardly say Whitney's voice was abrasive. At her best, her voice was probably one of the purest. My original post was just to acknowlege the uniqueness of her voice and Karen's.
Ironic song to hear when you are on top of Mount Everest in the Himalayas. A song to hear when you will have a 60-70% chance you won't be alive coming down from Mount Everest.
As I wrote above, same sort of feeling when you're out in a blizzard in Maine...not the same risk as Everest, no! But some....and coming out of nowhere on a normally hard rock station - turned me on to the Carpenters, LOL! A reminder that life is fragile, love is fleeting, and we all only have today!
Good, sweet, pure talent. No computer enhancement, no mixing. The way music is supposed to be. So sorry that she's gone. One of the world's true talents.
David Broughall I don't agree. She sounds much more engaged in her second vocal, this one sounds listless and the arrangement too bland. I'm glad they redid both.
I remember seeing & hearing this song when it aired on tv when I was only 12 years old how this brings back so many great memorys of the past thanks for sharring it!!!
My mom used to sing this song to me when I was little. And I always thought that she had just made it up herself bc I had never heard it anywhere else. Once I got older, I figured out that it was by her favorite singing group, The Carpenters. Once I became and adult we would always sing it together as I cleaned her house for her or when we were riding together in the car. She passed away last year from cancer and now I sing it to my children at bedtime just like my momma did. I miss my mom so much. She was my rock, my constant and my biggest fan. I love you momma, and I hope wherever you are, you sing with me when I sing it. I can still hear your voice when I listen to it and that at least brings me comfort. 💕
I'm pretty young and I have to say I have never found a more relaxing song. This song simply put, makes me happy. That is just what it does, when I hear it I become happy. I just love it. A fucking awesome lovely song this is. :)
That's hilarious. You have a good sense of humor (and you make a good point). It's a funny thing thing - I've attended church all my life and I've never heard this song sung in church, except at weddings. I've never thought of it as having any religious applications. I just like the song. I like most of the Carpenters music. It's like Jim Morrison said, "People are strange!"
this song has been our fav karaoke song back before in the 2006. we jumped we sang and we dance with this song! and now all of my friend grow old and we never met, but this song seriously stuck in my heart.
The sensitivity which can feel happiness in every day is splendid. With the good song where the joy of having lived is taught the shank. Singing, sensitivity, expression power, everything is perfect.
What a premature end to a great voice,great singer and a great band.My generation grew up listening to those immortal songs.All those memories rushes in every time I hear these song.Karen wherever you are now may your soul rest in peace and tranquility.
Their music inspired countless people to live life to the fullest. From dreams to weddings, the Carpenters covered it all. Somewhere in your life, is a Carpenters song. Or two, or three, or ...
Smiling,Feel good song" i love it makes me feel happy when i listen to it R.I.P.Karen you were such inspiration while i was growing up thank you...Angel"
She has always been my favorite singer since teen days,we used to always sing this song during our school days,she has such divine voice it just soothes you any time any where,for me she is still alive,love her too much all her songs.
my mom's favorite song. she always sang it when i was still a little girl and just memorized the whole song because of her. And just like her it became my favorite :)
... and after years of loving their songs, it hurts to know the way she died, wherever she is, she is bringing comfort with her voice. I hope an angel, she is now.
I remember listening to this song on a jukebox bar in Cudahy Wi on a hot Aug. night in 1973. I was helping my Dad photograph a wedding. I just loved listening to it then--and now. Such a memory.
She still lives on, in some of us :) . I just breezed thru the comments, (FOR ME), I have many people to thank, TODAY, in the Here and NOW, as well as those who have passed on, :) LOVE
When I was young and naïve, I wanted this played at my wedding. 30 years later, I'm old, jaded, and single. And still want to have it played my wedding.
May you find your other half soon :)
Snap. Good choice of song :)

She's been gone for over 30 years and I still feel nostalgic every time I hear her sing. She had one of the most natural and beautiful voices I've ever heard. I miss her...
Karen has the most beautiful voice ever
The golden age of music starting from 1950 up to the 80's. How lucky we are all those who have experienced that superb period.
+Venkatasawmy Asoka This is a most love song and I shall and will and shall not forget it !+
In 90s, we still have Bee Gees ,Air Supply.
This original version never gets played on the radio anymore. Love it.
The version is a way better than the classic one. This is much more powerful and confident one.
@@marguskiis7711 I see what you're saying, but I still like the original. Karen would agree with you, that's why she re-recorded it.
Angelic voice, clear diction, the melody of the songs and the musical arrangement.... There is no one who would come close to her.
+FloyydR Turbbo : I totally agree with you...
This is just pure golden memories for me as a kid growing up in the 70's. Karen had that warm and easy to listen to voice that I still listen to today. Taken far too soon, Jesus loves her the way her mother refused to. Not forgotten Karen.❤
Karen sang like an Angel...truly the warmest and most pleasant singing voice I have ever heard.
sure is david H
Agree
so sad she died needlessly

+Will McCormick It makes me happy and sad at the same time lol
Mine too!
Same here dude. I was 11 when Karen recorded this in 72. I count my blessings that I grew up listening to such beautiful music - as opposed to today's garbage. What a voice Karen had.
Will McCormick ..this song brings nostalgic memories too..i loved to sing this on top of my voice when i was in my 20 s and im out of tune
Yes !!!
💫
🌟 SUPERSTAR 🌟

What a warm clear voice. No one today can even claim to be an equal. Dammit, Karen, you didn't know we loved you?
+webspyder Such a breathtaking voice' wow ' no female artist today can touch her .
Yes- the perfect word to describe her voice- "warm". And it always sounded like she was singing it sitting right next to you, if you know what I mean.
One of the prettiest altos to ever grace the planet
+Erin Taylor Her greatest beauty was in her heart and in her voice.
She lives on in the hearts of her legion of fans. An incredible voice ...
Oh yes. A beautiful and expressive alto.So sorry that she left too soon.

Those days were just great. Singers sang with their soul. No auto tune, no synthesizer, just pure melodious vocals. Kudos to that golden era.
She had the most beautiful voice
I remember this song playing over and over that year

What a good pleasing voice...
Wow this song is so pure, magical and innocent. It makes me want to go to 1972 and just lie in an open field on a hot sunny day and have a picnic with this song on a radio.
im so sad that she died the way she did. she was beautiful and an amazing singer
it is sad, i read she wasnt ready for the star she became, it said she played drums cause she had stage fright, im glad the courts give people 2nd changes bye getting them help instead of jail
amazing song beautiful lyrics ..i drove the car happily listening this song ..thanks

I prefer this version. Maybe because they never play it anymore.
a song of pure joy.the only song that can make one think of life, death,joy, and sadness in a beautiful concoction of absolute bliss.

Who has read h2💧
Fate Zaragosa read h2💧? i only know h2O, what's h2💧?
Its a book it's pronounced h2o but spelled h2💧and the song is referred to in the book
Fate Zaragosa I'm reading that book right now!! Pretty good so far
H2o virginia bergin?
Im reading it now. Thats why i clicked on this ha ha ha
I'm pretty young and I have to say I have never found a more relaxing song. This song simply put, makes me happy. That is just what it does, when I hear it I become happy. I just love it. A fucking awesome lovely song this is. :)
I don't know why this song upsets atheists. Why does something they don't believe in bother them? Next thing you know they'll be attacking unicorns.
That's hilarious. You have a good sense of humor (and you make a good point).

Linda Owens we well attack the unicorns after taken samples of them and investigate them if they are peaceful we atheist won't attack! ^-^
this song has been our fav karaoke song back before in the 2006. we jumped we sang and we dance with this song! and now all of my friend grow old and we never met, but this song seriously stuck in my heart.
The sensitivity which can feel happiness in every day is splendid.
With the good song where the joy of having lived is taught the shank.
Singing, sensitivity, expression power, everything is perfect.
What a premature end to a great voice,great singer and a great band.My generation grew up listening to those immortal songs.All those memories rushes in every time I hear these song.Karen wherever you are now may your soul rest in peace and tranquility.
Needless to say, there are countless good songs in the world, but nothing makes me more cheerful than this one; "Top of The World".
Their music inspired countless people to live life to the fullest.
From dreams to weddings, the Carpenters covered it all.
Somewhere in your life, is a Carpenters song.
Or two, or three, or ...

I'm young, I can never imagine how life was so good back then!

So delightful to listen to as it can take you away to unknown place. Thanks Karen.
She has always been my favorite singer since teen days,we used to always sing this song during our school days,she has such divine voice it just soothes you any time any where,for me she is still alive,love her too much all her songs.
I am from India and can say music has no boundaries. She had golden voice; what a song; we don't get these now a days.
my mom's favorite song. she always sang it when i was still a little girl and just memorized the whole song because of her. And just like her it became my favorite :)
... and after years of loving their songs, it hurts to know the way she died, wherever she is, she is bringing comfort with her voice. I hope an angel, she is now.
Love this song. In 1970 I WAS at the top of the world and this song brings me back.
I remember listening to this song on a jukebox bar in Cudahy Wi on a hot Aug. night in 1973. I was helping my Dad photograph a wedding. I just loved listening to it then--and now. Such a memory.
She still lives on, in some of us :) . I just breezed thru the comments, (FOR ME), I have many people to thank, TODAY, in the Here and NOW, as well as those who have passed on, :) LOVE
Thanks for sharing One of my favorite Songs ❤❤❤❤
