I love Brian Wilson. He literally saved my life when I was 14 through Pet Sounds. This song wants to sleep with you? Lyrics again. Great song, love the production. Lyrics? It's been his Achilles heal all along.
It's tragic that Brian's loving wife crossed the line into interfering with his creative output. Those Joe Thomas recordings are a travesty. We can only wonder what might have been if Melinda had butted out of Brian's artistic process. This so much better than that adult contemporary shit they manipulated him into releasing.
gotta say this but thank you for compiling the songs, i very much listen to this frequently and is my favorite album to listen to if it even existed. all the songs just match so well thank you
Chain Reaction of Love is the best track Brian has recorded since 1977, truly fantastic. Wish The Beach Boys had got it together and made one last great album. Al and Mike in the vocal mix would be even better
Lyrics for ''Some Sweet Day '' (I'm not very good at English, so let me know if there's wrong words so that I can edit them plz) Some sweet day you're gonna see that I'm born out for you Some sweet day you'll see the light You're gonna wonder too, yeah You're gonna walk more and more of that Nothing's never really going to fall, yeah Some sweet, some sweet day I'm gonna make you mine Some sweet day you look again and that's gonna change your mind about those plack that you have now for you can leave'em all behind Right now it's out of my hand, but I don't worry cause you got me a plan, yeah Some sweet, some sweet day I'm gonna make you mine You know sure wasted so much time for I stood by and waited for you for it really gonna out of my mind I ain't gonna let it get me down, thus I'm really sure you don't come around, yeah You put me through the landing hurray, so now I wait just as long as I can, now Some sweet, some sweet day I'm gonna make you mine Some Sweet, some sweet day...
I truly think these sessions would've blown people's minds back in 1996, preferably in a 12-13 track album like this one. It really sounds like a natural evolution from Pet Sounds, but slightly darker and more surreal. It's Brian letting loose his feelings completely unfiltered for once, with Andy building off of his ideas rather than monopolizing the whole thing. This is probably my favorite of the various tracklistings that exist currently, and it heavily inspired my own. The only things I would really change in the songs themselves is shorten some of them, as songs like Gettin, Chain Reaction, and Proud Mary are epic but go on a bit too long. But with some cutting, I think this would make a solid single LP to rival Pet Sounds. Side 1 1. I'm Broke 2. It's Not Easy Being Me 3. Gettin' In Over My Head 4. This Song Wants To Sleep With You Tonight 5. Chain Reaction Of Love 6. In My Moondreams 7. Proud Mary Side 2 8. Soul Searchin' 9. Slightly American Music 10. You're Still A Mystery 11. Must Be A Miracle 12. Desert Drive 13. I'm Going Home
Some, not all. He recently released I’m Going Home, It’s Not Easy Being Me, Must Be A Miracle, and I’m Broke. A couple of the other ones crop up on his solo albums and elsewhere. Still no official Chain Reaction as far as I know.
It's nice people love Brian so much but very little good came out of the Paley sessions. They are only legendary because nothing came of them. And I am a diehard Wilson fan who has been listening to the Beach Boys, and his solo stuff, religiously for 30 years. I've never been one to worship anyone though. I love him because he produced legitimately incredible work. I don't see any reason to delude myself into thinking his lesser work is also great.
I don't really understand the people saying this isn't soul-felt. It would've been amazing to hear Carl Wilson sing This Song Wants to Sleep With You Tonight.
Thanks man. That’s exactly the kind of validation I’ve been waiting for. There’s an FLAC download link on ‘Another Beach Boys Blog’, which is where I got all the songs. Hope this helps!
