The Carpenters is by far the most articulate pop band of their time when it comes to love melancholy. People who grow up to their songs will not wonder why the story of these two siblings is as tragic as, say, their song Aurora.
Yesterday, I felt rain on my head. Walking through a crowded place, everyone is bustling, running for cover, scrounging for a ride home.
Yet I moved through the noisy crowd like the film and music was slow and sad. Like Karen Carpenter cooed at my ear with her cold voice. I have always wondered why the rain was such a sad occasion on most literary references.

No, there are 13 songs in the album and 12 of them are Tom Waits covers. One of those 12 songs is co-written with Waits’s wife, Kathleen Brennan.
“Song for Jo” is originally composed for this album. Interestingly, David Bowie also collaborated for some of the accompaniment. Scarlett certainly has big backers.
That photo was taken in L.A., Central Avenue.
