Yesterday Once More

The song “Yesterday Once More” is extremely popular in Japan as well.

For many people, the Carpenters are synonymous with this track.

The key feature of this piece is, without a doubt, the chorus.

While it’s not insanely high, some people may find it a bit difficult to sing.

In many cases, those who struggle to hit the notes in the chorus tend to tilt their heads upward as they sing.

If you can’t reach higher notes and you look up, it actually makes it harder to produce sound.

Try to be mindful not to force your voice, and attempt to sing while keeping your head slightly tilted downward.

Cherished by many as an anthem encouraging those striving to overcome difficult times, it remains a timeless classic.

Why not think of someone dear to you and let yourself sink into the relaxed tempo as you sing along?

Close To YouCarpenters25rank/position

[They Long To Be] Close To You

Among the Carpenters’ catalog, the classic “(They Long to Be) Close to You” stands out as one of their most beloved hits.

Released in the 1970s, this love song portrays a woman pining for someone she adores.

Musically, it sits squarely in the realm of classic pop, with a brisk yet gentle melody.

The English lyrics flow smoothly, and the vocal range isn’t particularly wide, making it an easy song to sing.

You can certainly perform it in the style of the original, but a downbeat, whispery approach—like Billie Eilish’s—also sounds compelling.

Give it a try for inspiration.
