Sunday Classics 05.10.2025

Hey members!

This week’s Sunday Classic is the beautifully hopeful 'We’ve Only Just Begun' by The Carpenters—a 1970 hit that started out as… a bank commercial! Yes, before it became a wedding staple and soft pop masterpiece, this gentle anthem was penned for a TV ad. Lucky for us, Richard Carpenter saw its potential, and the rest is history.

With Karen Carpenter’s rich, velvety voice leading the way, the song captures that heady mix of love, optimism, and wide-open futures. It's been called one of the greatest love songs ever written, and it's easy to see why. Whether you're looking back on your first dance or just dreaming of new beginnings, this one hits deep. Many thanks to member @ROD 53 for the suggestion!

Give it a listen and let the nostalgia roll in. And if you’ve got a classic you think deserves the spotlight, drop it in the comments—we’re always taking requests! 💌
