- Grant Lee Buffalo cover "We've Only Just Begun" original done by the Carpenters .If I Were A Carpenter is a tribute album to The Carpenters released in 1994. It featured alternative rock bands covering the songs of Richard and Karen Carpenter. The cover featured a cartoon-like drawing of Richard and Karen listening to an LP album against an orange background.
This brings back bittersweet memories. The mid 90's were a magical time.
This should have been issued as a single from the album. Grant Lee Buffalo really do this song justice. :)
Anyone who listens to this should really pick up Grant Lee Buffalo's album "Mighty Joe Moon." It is one of the greatest albums of all time in my opinion. Give it a listen all the way through a couple of times, and you'll be playing the rest of your life!
my opinion this was the best cover on this album brings back so many memories
Sonic youth, cranberies, & dis ,this
Agreed. THE best cover on this album. Sidenote: when Grant Lee Buffalo was starting to break out in the mid 90s, REM asked them to open for them on their "Monster" tour. GLB turned them down due to another commitment. Michael Stipe was so impressed that when they became available they joined REM on tour. Says a lot about a band that turned down a HUGE band like REM to honor a commitment that wouldn't have brought them the exposure they got with REM.
this is the best song on this recording. this guy really has the pipes.
This is crazy...amazing
great! I'd been looking for this version for a long time. 1st time heard it about 15 years ago, when I was in college. so many years passed, just when I hear it, I almost sob...
still brings a tear to my eye
david yonker me too 😞
same here
Man that harmony at 1:05 gives me chills
That's a major second interval. A pretty usage of it here.
I've been listening to this whole album, and this is definitely the best cover on it. The others seem to do little more than putting a fuzzy indie sound on it and shouting the lyrics (probably because no-one else can get anywhere near KC's voice). This one strikes the perfect balance of the original Carpenters sound and the artists' own style, and just sounds more affectionate towards the original song. Great vocal with some clever nods to KC's inflection.
Well said 👍✨
One of the best covers I heard in a long time
Silver lining in everything
nailed it! amazing!
This is a fantastic version of the Carpenters classic. Should have been released as a single. :-)
This is an excellent cover of a great song. Just as good as the original.
when I was stoned I did a punk cover of this song once
Was never a Carpenters fan but this a great cd

Fantastic version. Richard himself sings backup on this one.
whoa, never knew that.
i didn't know that either!
I think you might be confused with Matthew Sweet's LET ME BE THE ONE that Richard Carpenter guested on....RC never did vocals for Grant Lee Buffalo's version of We've Only Just Begun...
Brings back that 70s charm to me as a kid.
Great cd from the fall of 1994. I was working at Musicland at North Park Mall in Dallas when it came out. Good times.
this was my parent's first dance :)
great album to own... definately...
amazing...
Many of the covers on this album were really just parodies, done in the spooky, slow, Marilyn Manson/ Type O Negative” style . This was reverential to the source
poor Karen,,, I miss her voice so much. She really had the gift of an angels voice. btw did you know that Richard got this song from a commercial about home loans. It was written by Paul Williams.
great version!! Have been waiting for someone to post this
This version is a real tribute… Karen deserves it!
I've grunged this song before. I played it instrumental on just a guitar at a wedding.
nice version...love it
I can't get enough of his voice, its beautiful... so sexy, not overdone.
great album
Parecem muito com os Carpenters, gostei...
great tribute!
it was a bank commercial.
Yup Richard Carpenter joined in on this song singing background!!!
Still alive?
Lots of Winslow Leach and Phoenix feel there. Anything Williams has written is actually by Leach (you think he's fiction?). Sad chords sometimes...
The first 10 seconds sound more like a tribute to the Beatles... ; )

Amazing. This guy just blows me away. I'm a big rock fan, but I am not opposed to bands mixing it up and being outside the box once in a while and GLB does it beautifully here. I have albums Fuzzy, Mighty Joe Moon and Copperopolis. Any suggestions for other GLB albums/vids?
no no why the classics
1408, or happy Gilmore reminds me of this one
Oops. Sorry. Wrong song!! My bad! Richard sang background to Matthew Sweet's LET ME BE THE ONE!!
@1980KIRAXANADU This is a damn GREAT album. You can loaded at
