Starting Over - The Raspberries (1974) video free download

Listen to the last track of the last Raspberries album.

Eric Carmen: I wrote it with the intention that "Starting Over" was going to be about a relationship but also could refer to the new band and kind of a new beginning. From that standpoint, I thought it was a fine song. Probably the very best ending of any song I've ever written. The record doesn't even do it justice because the piano got buried by some strings.

Starting over

(Eric Carmen)

Used to feel so (very) (fuckin') optimistic

Till she said goodbye

Never thought a love like ours could die

Told myself I'd never love another

All I want is friends

But when we met, I felt it all again

Though I am starting over under cloudy skies

I say hello to love I'm seeing through different eyes

And if I had a chance

To make one wish

And know it would come true

I'd start all over with you

Every evening, I would watch the sunset

End another day

Let the night time wash my blues away

Buried my romantic inclination

Deep inside of me

Till I fell for you immoderately

I remember all the good times

And the bad times spent together

Why remember all the old times

When the new times look

Much better
