  • Seventh Mist from 7th HeavenRichard Carpenter knew for years that Karen had recorded a guide vocal (in 1975), but he thought it had been inadvertently discarded. In 1991, he found it on a multi-track tape containing “Only Yesterday.” Richard’s keyboard and a string backup were recorded separately and it was completed in 1994. She was reading from the lyric sheet as she sang and the sound of her turning it over can be heard midway through the song. The lyrics were the original ones and Manilow’s are slightly altered.

  • David from Lakeland, FlHey Ron you beat me to it, my brother. I always thought that it was about masturbation too. i think we discussed this over a beer before. more evidence is made me shiver, knees star to quiver, and disappeared as fast as it came
  • Ron from Auburndale, FlThis sounds bad, but I always thought that this song could be about masterbation. "Up, down, trying to get the feeling again". That aside, it is a great song. It has an epic feeling to it, the way it builds up and builds up to a huge theatrical ending. Awesome effects on this song.
