@@Chicanaloca Gaye was & Wilson is extraordinarily gifted, and I'm not going to put one over the other. Both had abusive fathers, as you mention, Marvin's life being more tragic, dying so young at 44, and worse, shot to death by his father. Brian, on the other hand, turns 80 this year but has lived much of that time in the throes of severe psychiatric issues, which is quite tragic in its own way. Both of them hurt themselves at one time or another in their lives with substance abuse.
I know it's nostalgia... but damn it all, this is a lip-synch that has a very subtle yet powerful message. If it is actually "live" I am wrong.. but the song is not.
He really doesn't have any sort of great voice everyone can do falsetto this voice and everything you hear on the album is all done and double-tracked on the studio for Echo and reverberation
@@eziospaghettiauditore8369 i didn't say he has a great voice, i said a voice to go with it , and really he is a Brilliant song writer, how many songs have u written. lol
Good music is timeless. 1964. I was a African American girl living in Newark, NJ and liked this song. Some of my Italian and Irish friends even laughed at me. Because an entirely different group and sound, The Four Seasons, were the local talent, and what we called Beach Music was considered corny -- even though everyone listened to it. But Brian Wilson's genius ruled the day. This song had a unique dreamy sound that captured what all my girlfriends wanted to say to the boyfriend they didn't have. And when we went "down the shore" you always heard it in the shops and on the radio. Played loud. I actually watched the movie DejaVu with Denzel about 5 times just to hear it on film. I played it at a house party a while back, where people from every corner of the world was present, and everyone got up and danced to it. And everyone knew the words to the song! I am certain every guy would love to have his lady say those words to him at some point in his life especially when he's made a bad decision. "Don't worry baby. Everything will turn out alright."
I grew up on Bloomfield Ave. Alot of my friends laughed at me for listening to the Temptations and the Chi-lites being white . I loved the Beach Boys too. Best music in my opinion.
@NK Bobcat what you wrote is the thought that entered my brain when I heard the first 2-3 seconds of the song. I thought I heard the most beautiful harmonies to ever start a song, and then it just got better and better!
This is such a beautiful song and if you suffer from anxiety and even really terrible severe anxiety I swear that this song helps. The resolution and his voice saying “don’t worry baby” you just fall into bliss. It’s absolutely charming and everything that is right.
Agree. I have anxiety and this one, California Girls-there's something magical about that intro, and reciting the surf locations in Surfin' USA out loud and in the correct order really, really help as calming, distraction and grounding.
The Beatles were the rage but I have to say I looked forward to every new Beach Boys song with even greater anticipation. Brian Wilson was amazing. So was their music, sound. It’s timeless. So are they.
@@katethomas5712 This song soothes my soul, as a child my parents would pack up me and my siblings into our cab-over camper and head off for many weeks/months at a time, just traveling and exploring, this tune was often on the radio during those magical years,…I had the thee best parents!!!
Met an old school friend a couple of days ago, that I had not seen for many years, we are from the baby boomer generation now in our early 70’s , chatting away, he said to me, we have seen the best of everything in our youth, growing up and into old age, when I see this and compare to what’s happening now I think he is absolutely right
He is! Our Rock was written by great song writers and Played by Great Musicians. That were great live and most importantly it didn’t skip during the show! No Slicing up somebody else’s music! I couldn’t tell you who is playing music these days! I tried to listen to rap and techno rock but I just can’t seem to feel or get it? There are a few Rap tunes I like but they were novelty songs! I just see me riding on my 84 Wide Glide listening to it! To each his own! 😎😜😉
we may have been born into the aftermath of WW2, endured the Cold War and expected to die in a nuclear winter, but I'm sure we still lived through a golden age. There was an air of optimism and a freer society, especially for us plebs. We had the best music, clothes and hair. I'm 78 in January and ready to move on now, to Rock N Roll Heaven. I hear they've got a helluva band! ;)
22 yrs ago, In my darkest hour this song was running through my head nonstop while laying in a hospital bed. It got me through it. This song means everything to me. I always wanted to meet Brian Wilson to let him know and thank him.
It can’t be said enough that The Beach Boys had the most incredible vocal harmonies! I don’t think any other rock and roll band came even close. Their voices were in the forefront and the musical instruments in the background. I can never get enough of this group. Brian Wilson’s songwriting and collaboration with Tony Asher was a match made in heaven. When I’m feeling down, I just listen to The Beach Boys to cure my blues. Brian Wilson hated being called a “genius” he said he was “clever.” Pretty damn clever if you ask me! Love you Beach Boys!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I can’t agree with you more, but I will say that, while the vocals were always the highlight, Bryan was a modern day Mozart with the instrumentation he uses. Even the simplest songs on pet sounds still have like at least over 15 instruments. Good Vibrations (I know, not on Pet Sounds) is a symphony. Have you seen the biopic “love and Mercy”? As someone who has not only studied Bryan Wilson extensively, but has also had the privilege of meeting him (got my picture with him and Al, signed my Pet Sounds, Paul Dano as young Brian and John Cusack as older Brian are phenomenal. It’s a bit of a sad movie, but worth the watch.
@@mattlawson714 You are correct he was using instruments on his music that no one else used. He used the best studio musicians (wrecking crew) and made them up their game when he was recording. I did see Love and Mercy; it was good and sad movie as you mentioned. If I remember correctly it took 6 months to record Good Vibrations. That is so cool that to got to meet Brian and Al! Listening to The Beach Boys always puts me in a good mood. Glad you are a fan like me. There will never be another band like them!
The most amazing aspect to this song is Brian was so young. Where do you see youth today write magic like this. It just doesn't happen. Brian was a freak songwriter one of the all time best.
**There actually WAS a real 'Beach Girl' who sang 'live-on-stage' with the 'Boys'...it was 'Toni Tennille' long before the days of being a 'duo' with her husband, the 'Captain'** (she was the only authentic 'Beach Girl' to ever perform w/them in concert on a regular basis because Brian loved the pitch & intonation of her voice. "She's always perfect!"
This song never fails to choke me up, reminds me of easier simple times, the happiness of being young. Brian Wilson is the one of the greatest artists of the century if not all time.
@@lisalynnmcallister8196 Though I truly understand your sentiment, I wouldn't compare him with Beethoven, Bach or (and especially) Mozart. In fact, I'd guess that Brian Wilson himself wouldn't dare do it and not merely out of humility. Just one tiny example: Mozart, at age 13, heard for the first time a 3 hour concert given by the Pope's orchestra, knowing that the Pope proclaimed that no one was to ever release that music outside the Vatican or suffer excommunication. As such, all musical scores were promptly collected and placed back into a secured location after each concert. Mozart however, and purely from memory, wrote the entire piece down, for each instrument, without an error. The Pope was so amazed he thought it a gift from God and rescinded his proclamation. That's merely one form of his genius.
The Beach Boys' music was uniquely American. It was our culture in the 60's. Those of us who were young then experienced something no other generation has. It was wonderful.
Sitting depressed all alone at a deserted lake, some kool soul played this song loudly from across this lake. Than there was dead silence again. Thank you dear soul, y Brian Wilson. God bless you both.
My dear, On this life's road, "Keep Looking Forward, forget the past. If you don't, you not only endanger YOU, but the new folks coming your Way, maybe someone You need."? CJ...such folks saved me..."Oh, how amazed you would be to know Who!!"🌷
I loved the Beach Boys (no longer the Beach Boys without Brian), and I agree with you, if we can add Bob Seger and Fleetwood Mac to your list of "greats"!
One of the greatest melodies ever written. This is one of those songs that you hear and just instantly fall in love with. Everyone who recognizes this song is always like “Wait! I haven’t heard this in forever! I love this song!”
Every night for months now I listen to this song. Brings me back to a simpler, less stressful time. The country may never be the same but this song makes me smile about our past. Wow. Just wow. Brian, bet you never could have guessed what an impact you and the rest of the Boys would have. Thank you.😊
Man, I love this song. What is it about Brian's voice paired with their music that created a pristine beauty that most other pop/rock songs never achieve??
An absolute gem 💎 of a song, amazing vocals, amazing harmonies, for me this is a Beach Boys masterclass, easily my favourite song of theirs by a country mile ❤🎵
The Beach Boys need to have these type of videos remastered urgently, just like they are doing with The Beatles. They deserve more love and appreciation.
I agree. But you need source material to remaster. I don't know who owns them. That would be a great project for Beach Boys fans. All their 60's and 70's tv performances remastered and released on DVD and Blu ray
+Fiore Deste, I don't know. It's nice to see them in their young years. Seems to me that a significant part of love and appreciation is being able to share their early performances as well as the later ones. And many later performance, tragically, don't include Carl and Dennis.
The harmonies in this song are so moving. Everytime I listen to it I am transported back to a beautiful time in my life. Oh how I long for those times. Jeff
I'm 71 and listening ❤The 60's was the best years, so lucky to have lived through those years. I listen to the Beach Boys in my car in the summer, drive along singing my heart out. The best era ever!
Absolutely! Have had the pleasure of doing/covering this remarkable song in a couple of Bands in Tucson in the 1970's. We figured out the harmonies, had the chords correct( my job), and sang our butts off on it!! Wonderful era !!
I remember reading an article by brian wilson after they had just finished recording good vibrations. He was in his car and they played a beethovens symphony on the radio and he said we have achieved nothing
Definitely!! I remember 409 playing on a radio in a 64 Chevy 2 wagon. I was 5. In 65.And I was hooked on these guys for life. When endless summer came out in 74. I wore out the album! This tune is so if my top 5. 🎉
If you think you archived something by hijacking my name your sadly mistaken,a vile comment like the one you wrote has no substance,except in a maximum mental institution.
I lived it. The Beach Boys embodied the whole West Coast, " California Dreaming". Cruising the Coast in corvette's, Hotrods, woodies, surfing, Hot Weather, chasing Girls, Malt shops, drive-in's, drag racing, cruising with friends to camp sites during hot summers looking for girls, having a crush, the Beach Boys with their beautiful harmony. There will never be a time like that again. I lived it and saw it all.
@ Toski back in those days we had fun. there's no more fun like those days. the world is full of hate now. year by year we are losing our rights and past history. to fully understand those days, you would had to lived then. anyone under 60 years old wouldn't know. we have lost a lot. the young generation today has no idea what has been lost. take care friend.
+Jack roper While I agree with so much of what you said, I must also say there was plenty of hate to go around back then. Segregation and prejudice were rampant. But, yes, the music was more innocent and not laced with bitches, ho's and violence.
Hey at 55 I don't know what you are talking about. I grew up in NYC & Westchester county Broadway worlds fair sonic booms war concerts assassinations doo wop milk man ROCK N ROLL. where were you from 60 I think you mean 40. lol
you don't know what I'm talking about, because you're clueless! NYC is dump. back in the 1960's it was California, west coast all the way. BTW, are you taking your medication this morning? lol
In the summer of 1964, I used to play this B-side 45 record on the jukebox at McDonald's Beach in NJ. I was a Doo-wop music guy from Newark NJ but recognized the 4 part harmony of the Beach Boys was superb. And the lyrics touched my heart often over the years as we all need to hear from a loved one not to worry everything is going to be all right. A TIMELESS GREAT SONG
Like many people in their 20's me and my girlfriend and a friend of ours drove to California in the late 80's , from the east coast in Florida. When we drove down the PCH, (pacific coast highway) we couldn't believe our eyes at the veiw in Malibu and surrounding areas. To our left looking up were the mountains and homes within the trees and it was beautiful, but to our right we looked way down upon the massive ocean / beach that seemed to stretch forever. I'm sure our mouths were open in amazement, the waves rolled in one after another, i can still picture maybe 8 or more sets of waves rolling in, surfers riding so many of them, it was a beautiful summer day . We pulled over and just stared for a while, trying to take it all in. I know there are lots of beautiful places on earth, but i will never forget the immense beauty of that Calofornia beach - it truly was like a dream come true to view it.
@@stephendoyle3542 it's a shame alot of people will never have a chance to see the rest of the world. I know people who have never traveled much further than their hometown.
This and all the Beach Boys songs are the background of my teen years. And I love their music even more now than I did then!! Brian is an amazing writer!
There always seemed to be an inherent kindness and gentleness to Brian, Somehow think the beautiful production, harmonies and simple words of encourgaement came from that kind place.
It brings tears to my eyes to hear this..My parents Divorced when I was still a babe, and it just wasn’t the same after that. Dad remarried a real young virgin (17) He was (26) He had 3 daughters with my Mom 6,3,1.. ~ I was the one year old,..The New bride wanted a family of her own, so let’s just say for years we just came for a month in summer, that was all I got to see Dad😥..And my sister’s and I weren’t allowed to go anywhere with him. Just hang out at their house, so she could keep an eye on things. I guess jealousy on my step moms part…😮💨🤕 No special dance at the My Wedding. Your Daughter is blessed. I hope she Appreciates you Tom🤩
I just saw The Beach Boys tonight and they were still just as amazing. When I was dancing and singing to this song, Mike Love saw me and blew me a kiss. Such a great show!
Awesome story. I bet it was just like time had never passed from the first time you heard this song. Oh, to go back to when this music was new and the world hadn't gotten so darned complicated.
ruandted I am blessed and so grateful to have been a teenager during all the music revolution. Beach Boys were my second concert, Four Seasons being the first. They were true musicians during those times.
Just as thrilling now as it was when I first heard it 40 years ago. In addition to his songwriting gifts, Brian had an unparalleled ability to put real, not fake, emotion in his voice. Superb backing arrangement. Most of us have never raced a car, yet through his artistry Brian takes a specific situation and makes it universal. Three minutes of pure, flowing emotion. Bravo, Brian and the BB's. You will never die.
I LOVE how Brian’s eyes twinkle & how happy he is when he hears the music outside of his head that was in his head & how shy & lovely he is. Extremely HANDSOME(still is) & GENIUS this man is! I would give anything to meet him & hear him sing & pick his brain!
@@batman4y2k dennis used to hang out w them but discovered how weird charlie was. Think they recorded 1 of his songs. Not well known but true according to mike love, dennis witnessed charlie kill someone but was terrified of going to the police for fear he would be killed. Of course dennis drowned many yrs ago. Its all in mike loves book
This song is a great example of the influence Brian took from Phi Spector. The layers of sound are clear. RIP Phil Spector, another brilliant yet tormented mind.
Your opinion is debatable, for specialists Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons are better vocally. The sound of Italian Americans is more solid, more rock-oriented and their harmonies are of better quality.
I was sitting in my car at the Navy Stadium parking lot and this song was playing, it brought back so many memories, I was a young teenager that grew up on these songs from that era, my sister would laugh at me when I told her what I was listening to, because I am African American, thanks for the memories
Being black has nothing to do with listening an all white band. Look at today's rap music, there's alot of white people listening to them. I myself listens to all kind of music depends on my mood at the time. ☺
Seems like there is many comments from black people here saying similar. This is why “cultural appropriation” is a sham. Let’s all share and enjoy the beauty of life, music, art and culture regardless of color!
Really good description, the whole song is great but that solo guitar bit in particular alway's did something for me. My 29 year old son said something similar to you about "Breakaway " just the other day.🙂
This takes me back to my dads garage as a kid sweeping the floor,,,,guy’s hanging around working on thier hot rods ,,,,old big radio playing songs like this and all back in the mid 1960,s ,,,boy what a great life back then
I am. 79 years old mow. Since the town I grew up in, was long the beachfront on Long Island this song was played at all or beach parties, and now at our reunions. Got to be up close and personal in the second row when Brian Williams sang solo at the Jones bedroom theater in the late 90s. Read the Wouldn’t I Be Nice. He had a very difficult childhood, but was always able to make sweet music.
Brian Wilson - a musical genius. He and his brothers endured abuse from their dad, but still managed to carve out a great body of music. The rich harmonies stand out. Love this song, and all of their songs.
Yeah, old man Wilson was a real prick! He mistreated all the boys. He’d slap them around and curse at them. Made me sick. I’m glad the old bastard is gone.
Absolutely love this song. Makes me nostalgic and very emotional when I listen to it. Brian Wilson is a master of music and the Beachboys are the best of all time harmonizing these great songs. There will never again be music like this.
I just turned 70...It's December 2019...Who still digs the Beach Boys!! My favorite song by the Beach Boys....Who is with me...Surfs Up!
im 71 and i still listen to all the oldies oh the memories my wife and i have been married for 53 years
I will turn 69 next month and am still listening to their music and just loving it
i am with you i am only 69 it seems like yesterday and they still sound fab
I grew up watching them play at San Diego Padres,games such great memories💖
My favourite too. Played it at my wedding.
1967 riding around in my 64 Chevy with my high school girlfriend now wife of 50 tears this was our song. We still listen to it today. Timeless!
Just beautiful to hear this. Hope you still have that 64 Chevy.
Fvk'n SWEEEET!
Awesome!!!!
Your typo of "50 tears" is quite an interesting metaphor if it was intentional.
Awesome! Humanity has it's problems but love overcomes all. Thanks.
Quite possibly the best song in music history. Brian's unreal falsetto, the harmonies, it's literally perfect.
Innocent times..great harmony..
Not quite. Marvin Gaye beautiful voice, social reckoning. Both with angry, sick fathers ala Michael Jackson. What brings out the beauty in them.

There’s an unmatched sincerity in this arrangement that’s held me since childhood. Love is what the world needs more of.
Damn right.
Not just Sincerity but also Simplicity. There are no gimmicks, or guitar jamming. Just pure Talent and Brilliant Song Writing.
This song never fails to choke me up, reminds me of easier simple times, the happiness of being young. Brian Wilson is the one of the greatest artists of the century if not all time.
So true
Parker Dunne: I'm still biased towards Mozart.
He is a musical genius
He's like in the musical geniuses with morzat, Beethoven Bach etc etc
@@lisalynnmcallister8196 Though I truly understand your sentiment, I wouldn't compare him with Beethoven, Bach or (and especially) Mozart. In fact, I'd guess that Brian Wilson himself wouldn't dare do it and not merely out of humility.
Just one tiny example: Mozart, at age 13, heard for the first time a 3 hour concert given by the Pope's orchestra, knowing that the Pope proclaimed that no one was to ever release that music outside the Vatican or suffer excommunication. As such, all musical scores were promptly collected and placed back into a secured location after each concert.
Mozart however, and purely from memory, wrote the entire piece down, for each instrument, without an error. The Pope was so amazed he thought it a gift from God and rescinded his proclamation. That's merely one form of his genius.
One of the most beautifully conceived and rendered songs of all time, it sweeps you away....
Michael Potter I cried the first time I heard it.
Yes
I agree with you Michael
You ain't lyin'.
Your right only a music genius could make music like this whereas most of today's so called music anyone could make no skill or talent required
The Beach Boys' music was uniquely American. It was our culture in the 60's. Those of us who were young then experienced something no other generation has. It was wonderful.
Yes, uniquely American. Thank you for that statement.
Sitting depressed all alone at a deserted lake, some kool soul played this song loudly from across this lake. Than there was dead silence again. Thank you dear soul, y Brian Wilson. God bless you both.
a deserted lake sounds wonderful.
My dear, On this life's road, "Keep Looking Forward, forget the past. If you don't, you not only endanger YOU, but the new folks coming your Way, maybe someone You need."? CJ...such folks saved me..."Oh, how amazed you would be to know Who!!"🌷
Never been any music better. Absolutely smooth, elegant, beautiful harmonies.
Being family members their voices blend to perfection.
I agree bob bro
They are up there with Beatles and Pink Floyd .
The Floyd is the GOAT, but, the harmony with these guys is insane. Queen is up there and CSNY.
I loved the Beach Boys (no longer the Beach Boys without Brian), and I agree with you, if we can add Bob Seger and Fleetwood Mac to your list of "greats"!
One of the greatest melodies ever written. This is one of those songs that you hear and just instantly fall in love with. Everyone who recognizes this song is always like “Wait! I haven’t heard this in forever! I love this song!”
Influenced by my baby, what a beautiful time in rock and roll history
I’m 67 and still love all Brian’s songs that man is a genius with a great voice!
Every night for months now I listen to this song. Brings me back to a simpler, less stressful time. The country may never be the same but this song makes me smile about our past. Wow. Just wow. Brian, bet you never could have guessed what an impact you and the rest of the Boys would have. Thank you.😊
We did have the draft and the war.
Amen
I'm obsessed with this song since 2009
I'm right there with you.
Man, I love this song. What is it about Brian's voice paired with their music that created a pristine beauty that most other pop/rock songs never achieve??
Pristine is the perfect word xx
I used to play my father’s 20 Golden Greats record when I was young. I’m 54 now and it still chokes me up. Brian Wilson is an absolute genius.
I'm 61,feel the same.
An absolute gem 💎 of a song, amazing vocals, amazing harmonies, for me this is a Beach Boys masterclass, easily my favourite song of theirs by a country mile ❤🎵
THE absolutely best version of this song ever…. Makes me want to cry … so beautiful 😍
brilliant song brilliant band
To everyone who feels alone...Dont Worry Baby...everything will turn out fine......Hugs to everyone who's hurting......
Thank you Lisa
Thank you, God bless
Right back at cha!
Wow, that was really sweet, Lisa.
Thanks babe
The Beach Boys need to have these type of videos remastered urgently, just like they are doing with The Beatles. They deserve more love and appreciation.
I agree. But you need source material to remaster. I don't know who owns them. That would be a great project for Beach Boys fans. All their 60's and 70's tv performances remastered and released on DVD and Blu ray
@@magicalmystery1964 Right! I'd love to see that
+Fiore Deste, I don't know. It's nice to see them in their young years. Seems to me that a significant part of love and appreciation is being able to share their early performances as well as the later ones. And many later performance, tragically, don't include Carl and Dennis.
A-men to that.
These harmonies are ridiculous...best you can get.
The harmonies are just freaking on point. So, amazing.
Heart-stoppingly beautiful. The vocals and harmonies are truly sublime.
The harmonies in this song are so moving. Everytime I listen to it I am transported back to a beautiful time in my life. Oh how I long for those times.
Jeff
Amen brother!
So do I Jeff. Touch’s the ❤ so much!
Yeah cool same.
The
Me too, Jeff 😉
ALL YOU NEED IS BRIAN - HERE IT COMES - THOSE 'TIMES ARE 'HERE' - RIGHT NOW - LISTEN CLOSELY - HE'S A MIRACLE
I'm 71 and listening ❤The 60's was the best years, so lucky to have lived through those years. I listen to the Beach Boys in my car in the summer, drive along singing my heart out. The best era ever!
Agree with You....🎶🎵♥️
One of the most beautiful songs ever recorded..:)
ilovemusic agree...Also think “Wouldn’t it be nice” is another one of my favorites as well!!
i AGREE!!! bRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES EVERYTIME; i WAS ONLY 7 WHEN i FIRST HEARD THE 'A' side!!! Man, were they wrong!!!!!!
I agree, chokes me up - so does "I Can Hear Music" as well.
I agree
😊💯✌💞🌿🕺💃
Could listen to this song 10,000 times and it never grows old. Harmonies are amazing. What can you say about Brian Wilson that hasn't been said.
Love it! Never gets old!
Carl had the voice
Mystic song writer.
I HAVE listened to this 10,000 times and, no, it doesn't get old. In fact, I think it just gets better!
I think I have
Heartbreakingly beautiful to this day & beyond.
fretkillrfan- I get swept away by its beauty, yet feel like crying about it all.
Like ur self x
Still one of the greatest melodies ever recorded in pop music.......
Brian Wilson is definitely without a doubt one of the best voices of the whole history of music it’s just amazing 👍
"God Only Knows" that Carl's voice is right there too!
@@procopiojrpalacios9702 completely agree with you but Brian’s voice is unique isn’t?
Amazing harmony and you can actually understand the words. Love their music.
Hello Vicky, how are you doing?
Absolutely! Have had the pleasure of doing/covering this remarkable song in a couple of Bands in Tucson in the 1970's. We figured out the harmonies, had the chords correct( my job), and sang our butts off on it!! Wonderful era !!
@@callumnye2562 creepy old man
This song is timeless ... even in 2022!
I agree.
I agree too
I agree love from Australia
I agree love from Australia
I remember reading an article by brian wilson after they had just finished recording good vibrations. He was in his car and they played a beethovens symphony on the radio and he said we have achieved nothing
One of the greatest songs and groups ever. I never get tired of it.
Simply beautiful. Brian's lead is truly amazing! Thank you.
Brian Wilson is a musical genius.

@@Pimp-Master same as her sister Anne
I can’t think of a group that sounds more American than the Beach Boys. I love their music that speaks of sun and good feelings of good times.
Hello Katherine, how are you doing?
I grew up in Southern California The Beach Boys represent southern California love them
Classic Beach Boys!
I love this, the harmonizing doesn't get any better than this!
At their best!! 🎶🎼🎵
ONLY Brian Wilson can write a song so beautiful you forget that it's actually a song about drag racing.
That's quite comical man.
Definitely!! I remember 409 playing on a radio in a 64 Chevy 2 wagon. I was 5. In 65.And I was hooked on these guys for life. When endless summer came out in 74. I wore out the album! This tune is so if my top 5. 🎉
Brian Wilson is the Mozart of American pop music.
love him!!!
Madden-yep
great way to compare mate, so true,
Their music is transendental,great family of American culture.
If you think you archived something by hijacking my name your sadly mistaken,a vile comment like the one you wrote has no substance,except in a maximum mental institution.
I was 14 yo living in Pacific Beach, Ca. Stirred so many emotions then and still does. Better times
Timeless. Never get tired of listening to them.
Their harmonies set their footprints in stone.
well said!
Thanks Ken.
Evan Thompson FACT!
Evan Thompson FACT!
DerRobMann (R.T. West) Thanks!
The voices of angels. Goosebumps, still, after all these years.
Will still be great in another 50 years.
I lived it. The Beach Boys embodied the whole West Coast, " California Dreaming". Cruising the Coast in corvette's, Hotrods, woodies, surfing, Hot Weather, chasing Girls, Malt shops, drive-in's, drag racing, cruising with friends to camp sites during hot summers looking for girls, having a crush, the Beach Boys with their beautiful harmony. There will never be a time like that again. I lived it and saw it all.
you lucky soul. i pretend the best i can
@ Toski back in those days we had fun. there's no more fun like those days. the world is full of hate now. year by year we are losing our rights and past history. to fully understand those days, you would had to lived then. anyone under 60 years old wouldn't know. we have lost a lot. the young generation today has no idea what has been lost. take care friend.
+Jack roper While I agree with so much of what you said, I must also say there was plenty of hate to go around back then. Segregation and prejudice were rampant. But, yes, the music was more innocent and not laced with bitches, ho's and violence.
Hey at 55 I don't know what you are talking about. I grew up in NYC & Westchester county Broadway worlds fair sonic booms war concerts assassinations doo wop milk man ROCK N ROLL. where were you from 60 I think you mean 40. lol
you don't know what I'm talking about, because you're clueless! NYC is dump. back in the 1960's it was California, west coast all the way. BTW, are you taking your medication this morning? lol
Brian Wilson is a lyrical genius you just don't hear music written like that anymore.
I have always said the same. He creates lyrics like no one else
Lyrics by Roger Christian. :)
He heard things no one else could hear in music he changed it all for the best
Don't forget about the lyricists :)
Brian Wilson is a musical genius. Lyrical genius?
In the summer of 1964, I used to play this B-side 45 record on the jukebox at McDonald's Beach in NJ. I was a Doo-wop music guy from Newark NJ but recognized the 4 part harmony of the Beach Boys was superb. And the lyrics touched my heart often over the years as we all need to hear from a loved one not to worry everything is going to be all right. A TIMELESS GREAT SONG
That’s awesome. I like to talk to my grandma about the beatles. She was born in ‘45 so she remembers everything about Beatle-Mania
This song never gets old. Beautifully sung. Thanks for sharing.
This song is about the wisdom, peace, strength and love a good woman can bring to a man.. May all such women be honored.
That's exactly what I was thinking
You got it .
Thank You henochparks. :-) :-)
Thanks You!!!
Its about a car...he's afraid he's going to lose his car in a race. Only Brain Wilson could write a "love song" about a car...pure genius.
Like many people in their 20's me and my girlfriend and a friend of ours drove to California in the late 80's , from the east coast in Florida. When we drove down the PCH, (pacific coast highway) we couldn't believe our eyes at the veiw in Malibu and surrounding areas. To our left looking up were the mountains and homes within the trees and it was beautiful, but to our right we looked way down upon the massive ocean / beach that seemed to stretch forever. I'm sure our mouths were open in amazement, the waves rolled in one after another, i can still picture maybe 8 or more sets of waves rolling in, surfers riding so many of them, it was a beautiful summer day . We pulled over and just stared for a while, trying to take it all in. I know there are lots of beautiful places on earth, but i will never forget the immense beauty of that Calofornia beach - it truly was like a dream come true to view it.
That is a beautiful story, thank you! ❤ and I agree! The site is breathtaking to anyone not from there AND from there!
Thanks for loving my home town
Wow...back in the day..you took me way back...❤️ thank you
@@stephendoyle3542 it's a shame alot of people will never have a chance to see the rest of the world. I know people who have never traveled much further than their hometown.
This and all the Beach Boys songs are the background of my teen years. And I love their music even more now than I did then!! Brian is an amazing writer!
Best vocal band ever. I grew up listening to the beach boys and they're still my favorite
There always seemed to be an inherent kindness and gentleness to Brian, Somehow think the beautiful production, harmonies and simple words of encourgaement came from that kind place.
I chose this song for my oldest daughter's father and daughter wedding dance. Still brings a tear to my eyes.
It brings tears to my eyes to hear this..My parents Divorced when I was still a babe, and it just wasn’t the same after that. Dad remarried a real young virgin (17) He was (26) He had 3 daughters with my Mom 6,3,1.. ~ I was the one year old,..The New bride wanted a family of her own, so let’s just say for years we just came for a month in summer, that was all I got to see Dad😥..And my sister’s and I weren’t allowed to go anywhere with him. Just hang out at their house, so she could keep an eye on things. I guess jealousy on my step moms part…😮💨🤕
No special dance at the My Wedding. Your Daughter is blessed. I hope she Appreciates you Tom🤩
Excellent choice. Love this tender song.
Aww that's cool man
love you
I'm choosing at for my funeral. It'll raise me from the dead.
I just saw The Beach Boys tonight and they were still just as amazing. When I was dancing and singing to this song, Mike Love saw me and blew me a kiss. Such a great show!
Awesome story. I bet it was just like time had never passed from the first time you heard this song. Oh, to go back to when this music was new and the world hadn't gotten so darned complicated.
+Sarah Thomas (skthippie19) in Adelaide?
Love you Brian Wilson, talented and tortured soul. What a gift you gave ❤
Anybody else feel proud to have lived through such a great era ? .
Absolutely.... beats the crap out of the shit thats produced today
I am of course!!!
Oh yes!
ruandted I am blessed and so grateful to have been a teenager during all the music revolution. Beach Boys were my second concert, Four Seasons being the first. They were true musicians during those times.
Me x
I like all of their songs, but this one is my favorite. What an amazing harmony!
Just as thrilling now as it was when I first heard it 40 years ago. In addition to his songwriting gifts, Brian had an unparalleled ability to put real, not fake, emotion in his voice. Superb backing arrangement. Most of us have never raced a car, yet through his artistry Brian takes a specific situation and makes it universal. Three minutes of pure, flowing emotion. Bravo, Brian and the BB's. You will never die.
Carl's voice was almost like Brian's. Such beautiful and pure harmonies
I love The Beach Boys they’re voices are amazing
Hello caithlin how are you doing
I LOVE how Brian’s eyes twinkle & how happy he is when he hears the music outside of his head that was in his head & how shy & lovely he is. Extremely HANDSOME(still is) & GENIUS this man is! I would give anything to meet him & hear him sing & pick his brain!
So young, so innocent and so talented! They were just kids...
Yes very sweet and innocents boys. And very talented.
And they didn't know what to do with their hands..lol
@@batman4y2k dennis used to hang out w them but discovered how weird charlie was. Think they recorded 1 of his songs. Not well known but true according to mike love, dennis witnessed charlie kill someone but was terrified of going to the police for fear he would be killed. Of course dennis drowned many yrs ago. Its all in mike loves book
@@batman4y2k Dennis did
@@batman4y2k It is very briefly mentioned in the movie. Charles Manson tells Sharon Tate that he's a friend of Dennis Wilson and Terry Melcher.
Brian was a musical genius as a teenager. We don't see many like him...
Can't think of any
Kinda funny. I'm 38, love these dudes. But people my age or younger are like how is he a genius?
This song is a great example of the influence Brian took from Phi Spector. The layers of sound are clear. RIP Phil Spector, another brilliant yet tormented mind.

@@old65rocker stevie wonder
The best Rock and Roll band in America for all times! The Beach Boys
Your opinion is debatable, for specialists Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons are better vocally. The sound of Italian Americans is more solid, more rock-oriented and their harmonies are of better quality.
I agree THE BEST of all time!
I loved listening to The Beach Boys as a young child and I still do. One of the first groups to actually make me a big music listener as an adult.

I was sitting in my car at the Navy Stadium parking lot and this song was playing, it brought back so many memories, I was a young teenager that grew up on these songs from that era, my sister would laugh at me when I told her what I was listening to, because I am African American, thanks for the memories
Being black has nothing to do with listening an all white band. Look at today's rap music, there's alot of white people listening to them. I myself listens to all kind of music depends on my mood at the time. ☺
@@tonyyu9406 I feel sorry for those white people.
This music spans across all of humanity.
Seems like there is many comments from black people here saying similar. This is why “cultural appropriation” is a sham. Let’s all share and enjoy the beauty of life, music, art and culture regardless of color!
They were fantastic. Brian Wilson is a musical genius.
Music was always great
Brian's vocal vibrato comes in spacious waves, it feels like you're surfing on his vocals when he sings this. The falsetto is glorious.
Really good description, the whole song is great but that solo guitar bit in particular alway's did something for me.
My 29 year old son said something similar to you about "Breakaway " just the other day.🙂
This takes me back to my dads garage as a kid sweeping the floor,,,,guy’s hanging around working on thier hot rods ,,,,old big radio playing songs like this and all back in the mid 1960,s ,,,boy what a great life back then
Should be the 2020 optimist’s song. If there is still such a thing!
can you subscribe 2 me
Totally agree.
Agreed my 2020 wedding was postponed and now we're making this our wedding song for 2021
yeah!
Brian's voice, like the Gibb brothers, brings heavenly tears to my eyes.
Yeah especially robin Gibs voice Brian and robin are my favourite singers
I am. 79 years old mow. Since the town I grew up in, was long the beachfront on Long Island this song was played at all or beach parties, and now at our reunions. Got to be up close and personal in the second row when Brian Williams sang solo at the Jones bedroom theater in the late 90s. Read the Wouldn’t I Be Nice. He had a very difficult childhood, but was always able to make sweet music.
Brian looked so happy, relaxed and enjoying the sharing of his talents. Thank you Brian.
Brian Wilson - a musical genius. He and his brothers endured abuse from their dad, but still managed to carve out a great body of music. The rich harmonies stand out. Love this song, and all of their songs.
Yeah, old man Wilson was a real prick! He mistreated all the boys. He’d slap them around and curse at them. Made me sick. I’m glad the old bastard is gone.
Brian had an amazing voice and was a great songwriter. Sorry that he so much trouble in his life.
@Patricia Gulledge yup his dad was a dick
In my top5 greatest song ever written and top 5 groups ever. Legends.
Absolutely love this song. Makes me nostalgic and very emotional when I listen to it. Brian Wilson is a master of music and the Beachboys are the best of all time harmonizing these great songs. There will never again be music like this.
Hello Judy, how are you doing?
My ALL-TIME favorite by this awesome band! Thank you Brian and guys.
My favorite Beach Boys song. You don't hear harmonies like this anymore.
My favorite also Don. So many good songs by them. So Awesome. But this one my Favorite 🙂
Listen to Foxes and Fossils version, the group is a master on Harmonies
You sure don't, decades later and it still sounds awesome!
@@magneto7930 so much crap these days
