We've only just begun (Reharmonization)

This is my version of this wonderful classic. Chord notation is omitted, it would surely be controversial 😁

Nice work, Luis, for a fitting but unique take on a pretty song. I am a big Carpenters fan! There were some oddball bits here and there  but mostly  fine.

Thanks, I understand, I like to look for new harmonies.

By the way, I bought the new CD with orchestral arrangements by Richard Carpenters himself. I love the Carpenters!!

Yes, maybe more to the point some of the bass chords in 5ths struck me as an odd choice because they sound, well, like 5ths. Maybe sterile, I don't know the word.

Interesting.

That's a classic point of view. In the jazz world 5ths are everywhere.

No, Luis, it's my point of view. I don't adhere to anything but my own sense of aesthetics.
