A Kind of Hush (album)
A Kind of Hush is the seventh studio album by American popular music duo Carpenters. It was released in May 1976.
By the time of the album's recording, Richard Carpenter's addiction to sleeping pills had begun to affect him professionally, and he blames this for the album being, in his opinion, sub-par. All three excerpted singles became hits. "There's a Kind of Hush (All Over the World)", a cover of a 1960s song by Herman's Hermits, broke both the UK Top 30 and US Top 20, as well as topping the adult contemporary chart. "I Need to Be in Love" hit number 25 in the US and number 36 in the UK. "Goofus" was only a minor success, stalling at number 56 on the Billboard chart, though it did crack the adult contemporary top 10.
John Bettis called "I Need to Be in Love" the favorite lyrics he ever wrote for Karen Carpenter. "If there was ever anything that came out of my heart straight to Karen I would say that that was it, and I was very proud of it for that." Richard Carpenter recalled that the song "became Karen's favorite Carpenters song". However, this album was also the first not to have Karen playing drums at all and top Los Angeles session drummer Jim Gordon played the drums on this album.

Kind Of
It's the kind of day you never wake up from
A summer's day has come to mind in autumn
Eyes are heavy, nights are long forgotten
In every place and every heart
Branches bare the moon's not misbegotten
Was it hesitant from the start
Some people say that when you're feeling rotten
In a kind of way
In a kind of way
Lying still you listen to the noises
Roll your heads and rub your noses
Cupboards bare you lack of further choices
Who of us now knows where the time goes
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is
a sin
Speak now love to me of your return
It's not how much you make but what you earn
Put your petals in a pile and watch them burn
In a kind of way
In a kind of way
Come what may
In a kind of way
Desperate days
Are mixed with those that aren't
In a kinder way
On holidays I swear I hear an echo
You hold tight to it then you simply let go
Sure as you let those feelings show
They let you know that you are not alone
Speak now love to me of your return
It's not how much you make but what you earn
Put your petals in a pile and watch them burn
In a kind of way
