    "Surfer Girl", the Beach Boys 1963 hit, sung as a one-man a cappella multitrack by Julien Neel:
    / trudbol
    "Surfer Girl" is the title of a song written and sung by Brian Wilson for The Beach Boys. It was released as a single and it then appeared on the 1963 album of the same name, Surfer Girl. The single was the first Beach Boys record to have Brian Wilson officially credited as the producer.
    Brian explained the genesis of the song: "Back in 1961, I'd never written a song in my life. I was nineteen years old. And I put myself to the test in my car one day. I was actually driving to a hot dog stand, and I actually created a melody in my head without being able to hear it on a piano. I sang it to myself; I didn't even sing it out loud in the car. When I got home that day, I finished the song, wrote the bridge, put the harmonies together and called it 'Surfer Girl'."
    This cover is dedicated to my friend Stéphane from Montréal:
    / grostabarnak
    Merci pour le beau chandail, je ne manquerai pas de m'en servir à nouveau. L'occasion était ici trop belle, étant donné la saison !
    ----------------------------
    LYRICS
    Little surfer, little one,
    make my heart come all undone,
    do you love me, do you surfer girl?
    I have watched you on the shore,
    standing by the ocean's roar,
    Do you love me, do you surfer girl?
    We could ride the surf together
    while our love would grow
    In my woody I would take you
    everywhere I go
    So I say from me to you
    I will make your dreams come true
    Do you love me, do you Surfer girl,
    my little surfer girl...

    Remember being a kid laying in my bed listening to this CD in the dark, fell in love with the sound of the beach boys. This was one of my moms favorite songs ever and it makes me smile with a tear in my eye to know that she raised me with the values I have today even though she can't be there to see who I became.
    R.I.P Mom I love you.
    Keep singing bro, please, I'm finally at peace in my heart listening to your music.

    @Kiioko Thank you Lisa, I'm glad you enjoyed this video! I too have a strong nostalgia when it comes to the Beach Boys.
    When I arrived in America for the first time as a 6 year old after growing up in Athens, I had been invited to a friend's house and he showed me 4 things that were completely new and amazing: peanut butter, Nintendo, Garbage Pail Kids stickers and... the Beach Boys. ;-)

      Julien, this is interesting. Your channel says "Paris", but I didn't assume you grew up there. And you grew up in Greece?! What a surprise. When did you learn English? French? I assume you're fluent in Greek? What else?

    @mangadarkogirl It's easy : just download "Audacity", it's a free program that runs on Windows or Mac, and is specifically made for making audio multitracks.
    It's very easy to use : you press record and sing, then you put on your headphones, press rewind, then record yourself singing again, and you've got your first audio multitrack.
    Piece of cake and a bowl of fun. ;-)

    I've been a fan for years. Please tell me it's not autotune, I heard someone say that no-one has a range like that but I do, I just can't harmonise like that. Still, my range can go from high falsetto to deep bass turning right at melodic tenor.

    • @JulienNeel
      @JulienNeel  10 лет назад +8

      Thanks! No, I sang all the parts. I'm a baritone / bass, so the lower notes were comfortable, and the higher ones I sang in head voice. It's only 2.5 octaves, nothing incredible.

      Hey, would you be interested in possibly having your music in an indy film
      in the future? Since they're covers we would probably have to get synch
      rights somehow but worth a try. A friend and I wrote a screenplay together
      called "In my life" He recently graduated from film school, has directed a
      few indy films. My idea was to use only a capella songs for the film.
      That's actually how I found you on youtube. I really like your arrangements
      a lot.
      Let me know if you might be interested in something like that if were able
      to make the film happen. I haven't even begun to look into what it takes to
      get synch rights for a beatles song lol, may not even be possible. But I'll
      see.
      Thanks!

  • @Steve52344
    @Steve52344 9 лет назад +9

    Strong tight harmony and good tonal blend (since it's all your voice). But...I hear an inflection foreign to this kind of vocal music, a sort of classically trained phrasing/pronunciation that's a tad too stiff for R&R pop. Other than that, bravo.

    • @davidbluhm3404
      @davidbluhm3404 8 лет назад +2

      +Steve52344 Yeah I can't disagree with you about the inflection. Especially noticable on the "ooh" sounds.

    • @Steve52344
      @Steve52344 8 лет назад +4

      +David Bluhm I've heard classically trained quartets sing doo-wop and Beach Boy songs. The harmony and melody notes are all there and in perfect pitch, but the phrasing isn't natural. It's more of a barbershop or choir sound. That's what I'm hearing here.

    • @GunnarSigmundson
      @GunnarSigmundson 6 лет назад +1

      Well, he is from Greece and lives in France.

    • @Timliu92
      @Timliu92 6 лет назад +2

      The tone is too kermit-y like in most classical music as well, which is why it sounds too stiff. As a formerly classically trained singer, you can sing with a somewhat low larynx for pop and rock and still not sound odd (Michael Bolton, Michael Buble, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Bing Crosby, Elvis, Rick Astley, Eddie Vedder being examples of those who succeed in popular music without sounding classical). IMO while I cannot sing as well as this man, the cover sounds odd for me.

    Thanks. I'm probably going to state the obvious, but I record the melody first, and then listen to it as I sing the other tracks, one at a time, going from bass to baritone to tenor. It's rather straightforward. :)

    @JulienNeel  13 лет назад

    @KimGarringer Ah, thanks Kim, I'm glad you liked it! I kinda regret not having added a beat or sped up the song a little (the bridge is a little lengthy), but it's hard to anticipate these things when you do a multitrack. The tempo isn't super stable, so I couldn't really add a beat after the fact. Anyway, thanks for commenting! Cheers ;-)

Etre anonyme et pouvoir vivre de ma musique (sans manger des nouilles tous les jours), ça me va.

    @pokefan772 The "lead" is tenor2, like in barbershop, where the melody is trapped between the other voices. For this song, the lead voice sometimes goes above the "tenor" (tenor1) line every now and then, but on the whole it's the other way around. ;-)
