欧美经典歌典清单中，一定少不了这一首。我当时听到这个歌曲的时候，应该是上世纪的90年代初，但是没想到它离现在已经有50多年了。
那便是Carpenters的《Yesterday Once More》（昨日重现）。
🎵《Yesterday Once More》是刻在几代人记忆里的英文金曲。1973年发行，收录于专辑《Now & Then》。发行至今，卡朋特兄妹用温柔旋律与治愈嗓音，把对旧时光的眷恋唱进人心。“When I was young I'd listen to the radio”，前奏一响，便瞬间拉回青春岁月。卡伦的声线温暖又带淡淡感伤，搭配细腻编曲，让怀旧情绪自然流淌。它不仅是乐队巅峰之作，更成为跨越半世纪的时代记忆，无论何时聆听，都能让昨日美好瞬间重现，值得循环一生。
🎵 《Yesterday Once More》销量/发行量
• 美国：200万张（RIAA双白金认证）
• 英国：30万张（英国白金认证）
• 日本：超100万张（日本百万级）
• 全球总销量：突破1000万张（卡朋特全球最畅销单曲）
• Billboard Hot 100最高第2名，成人当代榜4周冠军
上面这个是专辑的常规封面，当时还是唱片形式，封面是三折式设计，图中红色车辆是Richard的1973款法拉利365 GTB/4（Daytona），背景是他们在加州唐尼市的家。
当年，我被主唱Karen混厚温暖的嗓音深深吸引，她的唱腔如娓娓道来的故事，淡淡的流入心田。
很可惜，她却因长期减肥、极度节食等不良习惯导致最终心脏衰竭，去世时才32岁。
