Fun fact:
This was the most expensive song to ever be recorded at the time
D Rose, Lil Pump
Money well spent
He literally covers that
@@CMCSS-to3to both idiots
@@historyexplained916 nah man, they are revolutionary
Great analysis and editing, The Beach Boys are truly underrated. I remember I once read Lennon was asked how the Beatles felt competing with the Stones and he said something to the effect of: We're not competing with the Rolling Stones, we're competing with the Beach Boys.
I saw George Harrison say that in an interview.
On the other side Wilson said that The Beach Boys thought they were pretty cool until the Beatles came along and suddenly "we looked like a bunch of caddies"
@@gbeachy2010 They pretty much tried to one-up each other. IIRC, I think Paul McCartney once said that Sgt. Pepper was somehow inspired by Pet Sounds, which was inspired by Rubber Soul.
sounds like the beach boys had 16 track recorders,,when the beatles got 4 tracks they made peppers
@@minstrelofMir Listen to the complex arrangements from Pet Sounds. Nothing the Beatles made ever touched that. I love the Beatles as a band more, but Pet Sounds is literally the perfect album.
Anyone who says nice things about Brian Wilson is a friend of mine
Niko Kääpä Brian is a good guy.
Hi friend!
Brian is one of the greats and im glad he found a way to treat his schizophrenia
Niko Kääpä i love me some brian wilson. absolute genius.
It bares mention that Charles Manson was a very big admirer of Brian Wilson.
Brian Wilson is a musical genius; check out some of the behind the scenes videos of him directing recording sessions. Brian and the rest of the Beach Boys are egregiously underrated and underappreciated to this day. "Good Vibrations" is the Magnum Opus of Brian and the rest of The Beach Boys. "Good Vibrations" is a top ten, pop/rock song, hands down, no questions, no hesitation, no reservation, no equivocation. This video is a brilliant dissection of the song. Exceptionally well done.
Hell, the phrase “Brian Wilson is a genius” has its own Wikipedia article. Because it’s true; Brian is indeed a genius.
@@JH14FAN Thank you, JH14FAN. Very well stated.
It's a shame that The Beach Boys aren't as appreciated as the Beatles.
Joshua Capati in the 65-67 era, both bands were the spearhead for popular music. The thing is that The Beatles ended soon enough to become a legend, and the The Beach Boys perpetuated to be just an old band with some funny songs, under appreciating the incredible magic and genius behind.
TheHollowBodiesBand I get that. I agree with you 100%. People saw them somewhat fade away.
Well, they weren't as good as the Beatles. No one was/is.
Still great, but c'mon, they aren't the Beatles.
BB's didn't meddle with culture, religion or politics.
jsamc I think this is the main thing - I absolutely prefer The Beach Boys, but they were definitely the ‘safer’ band in my opinion.
Video essays about music make me feel good about life.
Ikr?! 🙂💯
"I don't know where but she sends me there" HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY FAVORITE LINE OF THIS SONG.
Unfortunately, the little graphic you showed for a Bb major depicts an Ab minor, but I'll say as both a musician and audio engineer, I bloody adore the way you thoroughly broke this song apart. I'm loving your work more with each new video.
Dang, nice catch! Definite slip-up on my part
Thank you Jeffery!
Just for anyone scrolling by who doesn't know much about music and is wondering what a Bb major chord would look like, I'll try to explain without a picture. If you take the given graphic for it, shift the top (furthest to the right) and bottom (to the left) notes each over by 1 key to the left, and then shifted the middle note 3 keys to the left (i'm explaining like this for people who can't recognize named notes on a piano) then you'd have a Bb major. Well technically an inverted Bb major.
The Ab minor chord is also inverted (although differently than the Bb major chord I described is), while the two other chords are exactly what they're labeled as. To make the Ab minor not inverted you would use exactly the same notes except you would move the bottom note up an octave (meaning it's the same note but in the next repetition of the pattern of the keys).
Polyphonic why not give The Wrecking Crew credit for the song?
@@xalessirb6425 Agreed, the iconic bass line was played by Carol Kaye:
ruclips.net/video/9UqNvMOdhGU/видео.html
Man, I always bring the Beach Boys as one of my favorite bands, and people always react in a shocking way, then I begin my defense on why people should really listen to them. Thank you.
Javier Del Cid same here, because I feel like most people that have only a passing knowledge of the band just see them as a surf rock band and nothing more. Which is fair I guess, but their musical masterey and lyrical content is so much stronger and deeper than people realize.
the struggle is real. Brian Wilson is my hero and people are like really?
@@CornerBoothGames all those lyrical and sound Mastery are the exception not the rule though
My favorite band, there’s nothing like peak beach boys
I feel like people only know half the story and don't see the mastery of the craft of songwriting that whole band has. And the real genius of Brian Wilson. He's a master of playing the studio as an instrument.
Brian Wilson is one of the saddest stories in pop history. Such a genius, though.
Young, Dumb, and Baroque well his story ended happy you could say
@@tysonasaurus6392 Sure, not as sad as Badfinger's story.
He's STILL alive, a major accomplishment ahead of the many losers out there before, during, and after this magical time
@@ericrose3877 he may as well be dead, the poor guy seems to have barely any cognitive function sometimes; in the middle of concerts he'll stop and stare into space, he gives one worded responses in interviews. He may be physically living but personally it seems like he's dragging on without much fire left in him.
Point Dexter Crazy = Genius
I think they were seen as a novelty because the whole beach scene culture that was going on but they had some seriously great songs and Brian Wilson was a genius
I think they were undone by themselves when Brian blew a gasket doing SMiLE, or they might have been known as the greatest band ever. The Monterey Pop cancellation signified the beginning of the end for them
Fun fact: the first Queen song recorded in a studio was a cover of "I can hear music". So definitely Beach Boys was a major influence to Queen.
The Ronettes recorded the song "I can hear music" a few years earlier than The Beach Boys. But I agree that Beach Boys influenced Queen.
@frankstrawnation: you look incredibly like Max Schreck.
@@tilend89 but no one knows that song because the ronettes.
That was Freddie Mercury's first song pre queen... Under the name Larry Lurex.
I'm a Beatles nut and have been since I was 4 or 5. I'm now 48.
But, the greatest pop song ever produced, and the greatest 3 minutes in music ever, is Good Vibrations.
It's perfect in every conceivable way.
It’s fantastic no doubt. A day in the life says hello. 😊
Mentioning the high melodic bass parts without mentioning Carol Kaye is almost criminal.
intrepgun thank you!! i was waiting for at least a little credit
Bree Pearson right? I mean, yeah, Brian Wilson is great. But he spent most of the time the album was being made "dealing" with "things" (no one's perfect, so I use gentle terminology). The amazing hooks and riffs were created from barebones scratch tracks by uncredited and AMAZING session talents.
intrepgun True, and I'm not taking anything away from their contribution to bringing the music to life, but at the end of the day, Brian wrote it.
Carol Kaye did play on 3 sessions for Good Vibrations, but none that made it into the final edit (one of those was guitar, and one of those didn't involve either of the famous riffs she demonstrates in interviews). The bass parts in the single are distributed between Ray Pohlman, Lyle Ritz, Bill Pitman, Jimmy Bond and Arthur Wright. All of the lines were written by Brian.
Indeed.
Credit goes to Carole Kaye for that magnificent bass lines on the verses.
Carol Kaye. Goddess!
Absolutely! Brian wrote the bass line though!
No, it doesn't.
Brian wrote it in its entirety. Carol says as much.
The Verse Bass line is from Brian and the jazzy chorus Bassline is from Carol Kaye . Watch interview
10% of the credit, at most. The rest goes to the genius of Brian Wilson.
It's unfair to slag off all of Summer Days & Summer Nights as formulaic simplicity. Listen to "Let Him Run Wild", that's totally on par with Pet Sounds melodically, arrangement, & production wise.
Came here to say this, that was a misguided example when an earlier album would have served better. There was no discussion of the BB harmonies or what makes them unique, which was a through-line from their earliest efforts and showcased in Summer Days/Nights exceptionally
Poly, your arguments are stunningly good. I've never plunged this deeply into the Beach Boys, and now you've convinced me to investigate further. Well done.
It's hard to overstate this contribution. When the Beatles study your technique for a year before releasing Sgt Pepper, you must be on to something.
Not all of Summer Days (And Summer Nights!!) is so simple. Brian's production aesthetic on Pet Sounds the following year began on the two fantastic 1965 albums Today and Summer Days. Plus, the second side of Today contained songs with lyrical themes akin to those on the songs on Pet Sounds. Starting with these two albums, Brian was developing a more mature, musically and lyrically, direction for The Beach Boys, reaching its zenith with his masterpiece Pet Sounds.
Summer Days was the BB's 'Revolver' IMO - as a cohesive focused unit at the peak of their powers and riding the crest of the wave, it's just viewed differently due to marketing, time frame, and cultural differences. Check out Unsurpassed Masters if you've not already - there's a Summer Days (and Summer Nights!!) Boxed set in there, if you will. It's incredible.
Right, these songs were definitely complex...."simple", yeah right. Summer Days is brilliant.
Yeah I thought Today! was released closer to Pet Sounds especially with the themes that occur on the B-side. Even though technically the album right before Pet Sounds I'm pretty sure is Beach Boys Party! as well as some compilation album. Which use to be counted as part of their discography since the album 20/20 was a reference to it being their 20th album, when counting their compilations.
I would say that Summer Days is definitely a precursor to Pet Sounds and you can hear Brian Wilson start to take ahold of the complexity he would master (it’s beating a dead horse at this point but obviously the intro to California Girls is probably one of the best 12 or so seconds in pop history). Overall tho I would still say SDaSN is still far behind Pet Sounds.
Brian Wilson is one of the very few genuine musical genius in pop music. Not only was the song "Good Vibrations", the entire album that it was on, "Smiley Smile" is a work of symphonic art.
Summer Days and Summer Nights was so much more than "simple" Brian had already been pushing the musical envelope since '64.
The instrumentation on Summer Days is so dense and layered. California Girls and Summer Means New Love? basically the prequels to Pet Sounds
The Disingenuous Gamer Absolutely. Also gems like Let Him Run Wild, You're So Good To Me and the ingenious Beatles-alike Girl Don't Tell Me where the guitar intro is the same as Ticket To Ride's with the notes slightly shifted around. Everyone goes on about Beach Boys Today, but Summer Days/Summer Nights is the real quantum leap towards Pet Sounds and all that came after, the difference being the advent of LSD in Brian's musical and spiritual advancement.
these replies are the responses i have been waiting for. thanks for renewing my faith in music history, millennials get it wrong so often.
The dismissal of that album sort of illustrates truly how badly underappreciated they are, with a purported expert underappreciating them in a video that highlights why you should appreciate them
I reckon a video for 'A Day in the Life' should be made considering it was brought up. Amazing song
I think the Beach Boys music was a far bigger influence on the Blue Album (Surf Wax America being a prime example)
arklowrockz what
Jimmy Page weezer
NotSoGuff OP didn’t even mention weezer
Jimmy Page what is your point?
Well said, there will never be another Brian Wilson...He beats them all, just my opinion. A musical genius. Thanks for sharing..
jamie einkauf right off the top of my head, I'll throw Prince out there as a challenge to this statement.
PRINCE????? WTF? He was nowhere near Brian Wilson in talent.
@@dud3stuff He was stating an opinion dumbass, go challenge someone else.
@@dud3stuff Prince is definitely up there with jus the sheer amount of instruments he could play. But Brian Wilson has a sophistication (I hate that word because it sounds rude but it’s really not
meant to be) that Prince lacked to some extent.
Prince was a world class performer and a capable record producer, Brian is arguably the greatest record producer and songwriter of all time. They’re both among the greatest musicians ever, but I think few people who know of Brian Wilson’s achievements would deny his genius.
The first time I heard this song I was in awe. I could have sworn it was at least five or six minutes long.
Oh, that mellow part, ending with that big harmonic chord, and then... *nothing*
They left us just hanging in space as the echo fades, for an instant, before falling right back into that delightful chorus. It's like a rollercoaster! Pure Magic!
Every single time, man, it "sends me there!"
This breakdown of this song really got me thinking, so clear and perfectly executed. I loved it. I'd love a video on Jimi Hendrix's "1983... (A merman I should come to be)" as I believe it is a truly underrated masterpiece of its time!
Dude your channel is seriously one of the best, the topics you cover are so fantastically similar what I'm interested in
The first time I heard this song, it knocked me off my feet.. It let me know that music would never be the same again. It had grown. The way it made me feel echoed one of the lines from it: "I don't know where but she sends me there". That's how it made me feel. It sent me somewhere I'd never been before.. From day one, I've been a tremendous Beach Boys fan. Some of us know genius when we hear it.
I was driving home and I turned this song up on the radio (I had heard a million times over the years). But I had it turned up, and as I was listening to it, I realized, I never knew how much had gone into it with the instrumentation. And also, as this video points out -- how many times it changes radically throughout the song. It was genius.
These are all so fucking good
I'm in love with this channel, such refreshing and well produced content. If you ever make a video about john frusciante I'd be so happy
The Chili Peppers were actually my first real musical obsession so that's definitely a possibility!
I love 60s pop, 70s rock, and 90s alt-rock but I am not a fan of pop-rock. Exceptions: Blondie, Queen, and Mott the Hoople. So, if you are going to analyse a pop-rock band why not make it Blondie?
check out walls and doors by john :D
yes please!
owww yes frusciante the guitar god
"Revered and underappreciated" could describe The Beach Boys as a whole.
I was privileged to watch the Beach Boys perform live in Birmingham, England, in June 1967,what an amazing night! They were as good on stage as on record! Incredible!
In the early 1960's the Beach Boys & the Supremes were the Only competition that Beatles & the Rolling Stones had for the Top of the Charts... The Beach Boys were truly a pioneering and iconic band. Their Music stands the test of time
Poly, I'm surprised you didn't mention the Wrecking Crew, Brian spent most of the Pet Sounds sessions alone while the rest of the guys toured.
Poly is talking about the arrangement, not the players. That's a whole story in itself.
You should TOTALLY make a video discussing the chords and harmonies in The Flamingos "I Only Have Eyes for You".
Such an incredible composition with both a haunting and passionate interplay
To dismiss previous songs and work to 'Pet Sounds' is insane. On a shoestring and limited by his Father and overseers Wilson crafted amazing beauty. Made it radio friendly and profitable.
I never knew I needed music theory video essays in my life. Time to go on a binge. This was amazing.
This song should be the definition of heaven in the dictionary.
Just binged all your videos. It's very apparent the amount of effort you put into them. Can't wait for the next one. Keep it up!
All of a sudden your videos are popping up in my feed. I'd never heard of your channel until today. Love the detailed analysis you bring to the music. I am currently binge watching your channel.
This song was, is, and will always be one of my favorite songs
"I don't know where but she sends me there" HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY FAVORITE LINE OF THIS SONG.

I've just shared this channel with so many people.... The content is just so good!
Awesome! Thanks for putting together!
Who else is with me where their favorite part of this masterpiece is the distinct second episodic movement?
I don't understand how a channel and have a couple million views with high a like to dislike ratio and still have only 26,000 (subs).
Keep up the good work my dude!
I really love how you cover these songs. That's why I subscribed. Hope to see many, many more songs done by you.
“Floating through space with The Beach Boys” that made me strangely emotional
"Who whenever you're talking about the greats in rock, be sure to give Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys a little love."
Except for Mike Love, ironically.
Mike wrote the lyrics to Good Vibrations as well California Girls, I get around, Fun Fun Fun and about 300 more. Get your facts straight. You know nothing about the Beach Boys.
i saw brian wilson perform this with about 20 singers and musicians at bestival festival
at the isle of wight
it was pretty amazing
This is quite possibly my new favorite RUclips channel! Keep the hits coming, guys!
Now that I’ve watched this I can’t help but think why the hell isn’t this still pumped out on the “classic radio” stations? This is an amazing tune.
Ever since watching Love & Mercy I have been appreciating the Beach Boys anew. I was a tween durig that time and was a Bealtes fan but I never bought any BB songs. I LOVE the harmonies. That's what music needs now - more harmonies! which of course came from the doo wap of the 50s.
Wow! Have only recently discovered your channel, and I am extremely impressed. Thus, I subscribed immediately. Many thanks for your deep analysis and educational presentations. I've only watched a few of your vids, yet I am sold. Have already begun sharing them with 'the uninformed' as I gently refer to many friends who always never understand anything I say about music. So, please, keep up the exceptional work. Again, well done!
I love the channel. Can't wait for all the content you can make!
This is the heaviest, most thinking-est channel on You Tube. You, sir, are TOO GOOD for You Tube, honestly. I am SOOO glad I subscribed.
6:57 that’s crazy because I honestly feel so many comparisons between Pet Sounds and Pinkerton, it’s cool to see this
There's many good channels that I love which are focused in games, movies or comics, and I was desperate for one like that about music. Finnaly found it!
My parents gave me their boombox and some cassettes when I was about 4 so I could listen to music in my bedroom. The Best of the Beach Boys was in the little box they gave me and I played it over and over and over again. Good Vibrations was by far my favorite and I think listening to it at such a young age had a huge effect on what I would enjoy listening to in the future. I still have that tape and I put it in my boom box from time to time. Heroes & Villains was one that I heard much later in life in my 20s, but that one is an absolute masterpiece as well and I wish everyone knew it. Brian Wilson is a genius and I wish a better word to describe him existed.
One of the greatest intros EVER written. The transition into the song is absolutely seamless despite being on a entirely different musicle planet.
I am a huuuuge Beatles fan but I am not ashamed to confess I love Good Vibrations and always mention it when I say: one of the best songs ever published. And I love almost no album as much as the sadly abandoned and nevery finished "smile" - Just love it . Thanks for this vid ^^
you see, if you study theory, you realize that this song is modified sonata form. so, it has direct link to classical form.
Keep those videos coming out, love them!
I'm so glad I subscribed. This song is truly underappreciated. Awesome video essay and I cannot wait for more.
Add some love for the wrecking Crew here. The only Beach Boy to play instruments on this was Brian, everything else was the WC. Notably the great Hal Blaine on drums and Larry Knechtel on keyboards. How good was Hal Blaine ? He even played drums on the Carpenters recordings .. and Karen was the drummer. Geniuses the lot of them.
Dean Laffan And Glen Campbell on guitar
Carl Wilson on Guitar too, but the Beach Boys on tour learned to play what the Wrecking crew did. The Beach boys voices are amazing on every song they made, no band outside of the Doo-wop bands of the 50's, and a few bands here and there, could really come close to Matching the Vocal harmonies, The Beach Boys had, the Mamas and Papas are a pretty good harmony group, but that is my Opinion. The Beach Boys did not just live off the Wrecking crew, they were immensely talented and great.
Besides Brian and Carl playing on Good Vibrations, Dennis Wilson plays organ in one of the parts.
the best channel on youtube.
Good Vibrations is one of the few songs I know by heart along with Kokomo, Baba O’Riley, Bohemian Rhapsody, Don’t Stop Me Now, and a few more
This is literally the best content on RUclips right now with beautiful editing and great research
The ultimate good vibes song. The Beach Boys are truly underappreciated (though maybe not as much in California)
I'm obsessed with the Beach Boys. So underrated. I would say they are better than the Beetles, but that is just my opinion.
Subscribed. This and the Bonzo video are fantastic. Please keep doing these.
Your music discussions are refreshing. Subscribed.
What I NEVER get is why music critics praise complex song structures and use of different instrumentations in Pet Sounds or Sargent Pepper and, once this trend mutated into Prog Rock after Days of Future Passed and In The Court of The Crimson King, they dismiss the whole catalague. I really really can't understand it.
At that time music was DIY, welding carried out by meticulous and blessed craftsmen; today we sample !
Man keep up the great work on these videos. I love your work my friend! I hope good things come to you from making these.
Fascinating dissection. Many thanks.
Wasn't Revolver way after Pet Sounds? It was Rubber Soul to inspire Brian to make Pet Sounds.
He wasn't saying that Revolver came before Pet Sounds. He was just saying that The Beatles were recording and innovating music like Tomorrow Never Knows at the same time that Pet Sounds was being recorded.
No, RUBBER SOUL inspired Brian to make Pet Sounds. Not Revolver! Rubber Soul came out in 65, and Revolver was 66.
Always thought of 'Summer Days (And SummerNights)' as the Beach Boys 'Revolver' - they were WAY ahead of the curve - 'Pet Sounds' their pre-Pepper 'Pepper' and 'SMiLE' & 'Smiley Smile' pre-empted the same sprawling disintegration as the 'White Album' - the difference being the Beach Boys stuck together and managed to make wonderful music well in to the next decade, but there were so many dynamic paralells, the main difference was that they were a family concern.
Revolver came out only 3 months after Pet Sounds. Pet Sounds was a much bigger influence on Sgt. Pepper than on Revolver, McCartney and George Martin said in interviews that Sgt. Pepper wouldn't have existed with out Pet Sounds and it was their attempt to replicate it.
So basically, Rubber Soul led to Pet Sounds led to Sgt. Pepper
And 'Today' sonically pre-empted 'Rubber Soul' by a good 8 months.
Whoa. That was pretty good.
You just got a new sub! Love this content and the fact that you put the beach boys and brian out there to the new generation.
You deserve way more subscribers than you already have, this was incredible and i can honestly say i can't wait for you to upload more videos!
Before Bohemian Rhapsody, before Stairway to Heaven, before November Rain, there was Good Vibrations
carol kaye is awesome in this song :)
Amazing Video!!! One of my all time favorite songs!! Thanks!!
Beautifully done! Good form..... Nice peek into a mad lunatic genius and very well put together. Love this channel.
Good on you for including Merriweather in your albums at the end there ;)
I love Merriweather! I wanna do a video essay on it some day.
Lonerism and The Soft Bulletin too
Please do it! and I also saw Lonerism in there which is one of my favorite records ever, please do a video on it too!
I grew up in their hometown of Hawthorne, CA.
It's unfortunate that a lot of people did not like them, even my music teachers refused to acknowledge the Beach Boys instead of using them to encourage the students in positive ways.
More poignant is the fact that the original design for the 105 Freeway was changed to veer south and bulldoze the Beach Boys original home in Hawthorne. (I saw the original designs at a friend's house back in 1981). Only thing that remains is a small plaque.
ROCK ON! Great Band, great musicians and definitely ahead of their time.
I grew up on a beach in the 80's. I abhorred the Beach Boys as a result. When I got to college and my musical "nuts" dropped, I went on a tear, devouring every Beach Boys thing I could get in my hands.
This is the second video of yours I have watched (the first being the John Bonham video). I am really impressed with your videos and how you analyze artists and songs. Please keep up the good work.
Awesome Channel. Where were you all this time? Gonna binge watch the entire list of videos now...Thank you.
Do a video on a progressive rock band please! Genesis, Yes, Floyd, etc.!
I've never heard A Day in the Life on the radio.
imnotgoodwithnamesbruh I feel bad for you son.
It’s the most played Beatles song on classic rock stations. And it’s barely played.
I hear Come Together and Hey Jude a lot on the radio.
I heard it a few weeks ago
I hear "something" and "get back" a lot on the radio
Any of their songs make me smile. Doesn’t get much better than that.
This has always been a favourite of mine, great sound quality, brilliant writing.
How do you not mention the wrecking crew????????????????
You know what you never hear on Classic Rock stations? The Beach Boys, that's what.
Well, you see, The Beach Boys aren’t exactly considered “rock”. They’re more surf rock; pop; R&B. Not exactly “classic rock (hard rock, soft rock, progressive rock, etc.)”.
This channel rocks. Period. I'm so subbed now.
I was at junior hs when I first heard this song, I was so affected because I’ve never heard anything different like that I still feel the same.
