Hello fellow Hivers, I hope you are having a good week and enjoying making music wherever you may be.
Tis weeks theme 'To The End' could perhaps be seen as a little bit sad. In life we don't like to think about the end. I'm a huge believer in making the most of your circumstances and the best of the time you are granted on this Earth.
The most important thing to me is making healthy and worthwhile connections with other people. You can have all the riches in the world but still in fact be very poor, if you don't have good people in your life. Some people are extremely lucky and they meet a person they can be with forever, right to the end... and that is what my songs is about this week.
I've recorded a song by the Carpenters called 'For All We Know'. It's about learning to love and accept your chosen life partner and growing together as you get old.
Sadly the original singer of this song didn't get to grow old. She died in 1983 at the age of 32. She had suffered with anorexia nervosa, for many years, and after prolonged lack of food, she died of heart failure. She had been an excessively talented musician who played drums as she sung (something I don't think I will ever be able to do). She was widely recognised for her stunning vocals. Paul McCartney said she had 'the best female voice in the world: melodic, tuneful and distinctive'
My apologies for the little mistakes in the piano part. I played in the bass and drums after recording the piano and vocal together and then mixed everything down using Logic Pro.
Ah, Carpenters. Love singing their songs during karaoke. Great performance as always @purplesinger
Thank you for listening and commenting. They wrote some great songs.
That's a good cover, Barbara.
You know I have a soft spot for the Carpenters... can't beat them.
Thank you Anke. I agree. Most of their songs are still very relevant.
This is really great from you friend. I tried to take notice of the error you apologized for but not feasible as such. You are a great pianist and I admire your skills.
Everything was on point. Weldone ma
Thank you for always listening and supporting me Jesus.
You are welcome ma
Oh my gosh..This is so refreshing...I just fee like floating in the sky...so nice @purplesinger...
Thank you for listening and commenting.
Wow... I am enlightened.
You Extremely Rockkkkk 😀🥰🎸🎵🎸💜 You can have all the money in the world and still be poor if you don't have good people around you to call your own. I think genuine friendship is more than what money can buy. I love those chords and your beautiful singing talent dear @purplesinger
Thank you @ovey10 for listening and for your kind comments.
You're very much welcome:)
Karen Carpenter is one of the great lost talents who went far too soon. I am always amazed that people that big do not have a better support network.
You say you can't drum and sing, but you do fine playing the piano. I love your playing as well as your voice. The bass and drums are the icing on the cake.

Ah thanks Steve.
Yes so many big stars seems to struggle by with no real help. so many end their lives because of depression and it just seems so needless.
I sent 1.0 HUG
