Surely time will lose these bitter memories

Today's installment of the Best Song You've Never Heard Before:


Like Dave Alvin, I never had much use for Karen Carpenter and the music of The Carpenters when they were popular. Now, due to different sensibilities or perhaps just creeping mortality, I have a new appreciation for one of the best voices in the history of pop music.

Her songs now can take me home as well.

This is bittersweet, lovely, and quite moving.
