Introduction to the Song: “For All We Know” – Carpenters
“For All We Know” is a romantic ballad performed by the American duo Carpenters. The song was originally written by Fred Karlin, Robb Wilson (Robb Royer), and Arthur James (Jimmy Griffin) for the 1970 film “Lovers and Other Strangers”. It won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1971.
The Carpenters released their version in the same year, and it became a major hit. The song’s gentle melody and emotional lyrics talk about the uncertainty of new love — how two people don’t know what the future holds, but they still choose to take a chance on love.
Karen Carpenter’s tender and sincere voice brings warmth and depth to the song, making it a timeless classic. “For All We Know” remains one of the Carpenters’ most beloved and memorable songs.
