"Blame blind yesterday for taking dreams away..."

===========================

Written in 1974 at Karen's request, this song was not recorded until 1978, but then was relegated to the A&M vaults because Richard didn't think it was commercial enough to be included on an album. In 1983, following the death of Karen, the song was finally completed and released on the "Voice of the Heart" album in October 1983. At the conclusion of the song, the piano continues the melody, implying that though The Voice has been silenced, the music continues.

This is said to have been Agnes Carpenter's (Richard and Karen's mom) favorite song.

===========================

LOOK TO YOUR DREAMS

To say I'm romantic

would be quite semantically true

But make-believe passion

has fallen from fashion's milieu

It's understandable

why we're a little confused

It's asking for trouble

just watching the six o'clock news

But for a moment,

all things aside

Look to yourself,

Somewhere inside.

Look to your dreams

Don't they still seem worthwhile?

Don't they still seem in style?

Aren't you glad they're still there?

Look to your dreams

There's a need for them now

When the world has us down

Aren't you glad they're around?

Once conceived, once believed

Fantasy's reality's childhood

And like a seed, visions need constant care

Like a child would

We should

Look to our dreams

We can still make the stars

We can still break the bars

We have built here on earth

Look to your dreams

And tomorrow may be better for you and me

The future may say

Blame blind yesterday

for taking dreams away

They could mean more than they seem ...

Regarding Karen's voice, Richard always said, "the money's in the basement." Meaning her lower vocal notes.

I love this song. Karen's voice was and always will be THE BEST voice ever. This song makes me cry sometimes. I feel bad for the way she was treated by her brother, her mother, and even the guys at A&M. I was listening to the song "You Light Up My Life" and some of the words fit Karen so perfectly. Phrases like, "So many nights. I'd sit by my window, Waiting for someone To sing me his song. So many dreams, I've kept deep inside me, Alone in the dark,Rolling at sea, Adrift on the waters.Finally, a chance To say, "Hey, I love you," Never again To be all alone." She was a marvelously personable lady, that I had the wonderful chance to meet and talk to. I miss Karen and the music she would have made and I feel like I will see her again someday. She is the best ever. Rest in peace Karen, you are still sorely missed.
