This is our own cover of the Carpenters classic. Its a laid back chilled out lounge type dream.
Artist picture
A kiwi guy who can play damn near anything, and produce it as well, and an aussie girl with a dream of singing some of the greats, as well as their own.
Jed and I met online in about November 2007 and he introduced me to the world of online jamming through Ninjam. He encouraged me to write lyrics and then to get some gear and start singing. I loved it so much, I started taking lessons (after daydreaming about doing that for years) and we've come along in leaps and bounds since then. We like jazz standards / jazz fusion / pop / r&b / latin / chillout and Jed is always keen to rock out if given the chance. We're based in Auckland and Canberra which is about 3000kms apart, so technology is everything.

Story behind the song
I heard this a couple of years ago and fell in love with it. Karen Carpenters voice is like warm melted butter (to quote Jed) and the song was so beautiful. We finally found a way to record it together, given our distance, and at long last, here it is.
Lyrics
Only a fool Like fools before me I always think with my heart Only a fool That same old story Seems I was born for the part It's a lesson to be learned And a page I should have turned I shouldn't cry but I do Like an ordinary fool When his ordinary dreams fall through How many times, have I mistaken Good looks and laughs for bad news? And how many times, have I mistaken Good looks and laughs for the blues? When a road I walked before Ends alone at my front door I shouldn't cry but I do Like an ordinary fool When his ordinary dreams fall through When a road I walked before Ends alone at my front door I shouldn't cry but I do Like an ordinary fool When his ordinary dreams fall through
