    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!! : )

    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."

    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.

    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.

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.

    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!

    Less slickly produced than the later re-recording. It sounds far more genuine and endearing.

      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 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.

    • @IbanezArtist85
      @IbanezArtist85 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      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!"

      +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 :)
