Undoubtably the Beach Boys' most underrated song. One of their best, and very few people know it.
I don't know, Good vibrations is pretty darn good.
Kevin Russell Yeah, but everyone knows and loves that one. No one knows this one.
soccerguy325 I Went to Sleep is also an underrated song.
***** Yeah but this is still really underrated.
soccerguy325 Everyon knows this. But only few people know Surf's Up, 'til I Die and all the other excellent stuff from 1968 to 1973 especially, that is.
We need the whole of the smile album to be animated in this way.
I’d dig it. 😁
idk how they'd animate cabin essence tbh, its like a day in the life by the beatles
now that i think about it, this album has at least three "a day in the lifes"
Who wouldn't love that
@@FlyleafOwO I think Surf's Up was their closest to capturing that "a day in the life vibe" Wonderful also comes close
4:16 - end = the most glorious ending to any song, ever. Seriously though, how does the man fucking do it?
really? Just listen: Eiti Leda - Seru giran
With Carl’s harmonies, backing/ supporting vocals and general perfection.

WHAT A FANSTASTIC SONG
It's almost heartbreaking to watch and hear this knowing what could've been for Brian :(
I love this song! The Smile Sessions version easily surpasses the Smiley Smile version in my opinion. It easily is one of my favorite Beach Boys songs. But 4:20 in particular… when those strings come in… I get legit goosebumps. I just wish the part was longer.
It’s awesome! My
Mum loves that part 😉
Very reminiscent of the strings section of Rhapsody in Blue. It has such a rich airy dream like quality to it.
I love the animated 'Boys (especially Dennis' cowboy boots)! I often try to fathom what a different musical world we would live in if certain members of the band had not gotten cold feet and SMiLE would have been released on schedule in 1967. Just imagine....
They would have been hailed as psychedelic icons
"Certain members"? It was pretty much exclusively Mike Love. Yeah the other guys were confused by the music but they weren't actively against it like Mike was.
@@BrendanJSmith I heard that Al Jardine was more on Mikes side than Brian’s. The Wilson brothers and Johnson were the only supporters of Brian’s masterpiece
@@cjm-jr9xk but I bet Al came around to it.
@@BrendanJSmith yeah, but it was too late, because SMiLE had been shelved already
Brought tears to my eyes. The Western/Mexican/Macabre aesthetic. The personilization of melancholy Brian... and the Boys. The Yellow Submarine-influenced animation with 1:00 the ship Smile, that would eventually be brought home 38 years late to the port in our hearts.
Very beautiful comment. 👍

There's a lot of Mexican art and culture here, love it
Indeed. The song and video was meant to play on early California culture. Both the Spanish and Indian culture.
Mescaline
Heroes and Villains
50 Years Old.
Still my favourite song ever recorded.
Wild Honey is a close 2nd for me.
And mine too beautiful harmonies and lyrics from Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys
My favorite song of all time, too. SMiLe is my favorite album. I never knew it was a thing until the GV box set came out in 1993. I'd bought the 45 in 1967, but the BB kind of faded away for me until 1974, when PS was re-released on Brother with the brown cover.
I hadn't bought PS in 1966. The existing rock press declared the BB over and done with, and like so many others, I believed them. But I bought all the 45s, and then in 1972, Surf's Up. Wild Honey, 20/20, Friends and Smiley Smile were re-released as two-fer LPs, and I bought all of those, and enjoyed them. But I didn't know what Smile was until 1993, and oh, what a great, great time I had listening to it on GV disc 2.
Homelander: “I showed everyone the real me. (Laughs) I mean they fucking LOVE me!!”
I'm so glad people have finally caught on to the genius and brilliance of Brian . Especially in his lifetime . The only rock / pop artist who could be put on the same pedestal as Mozart , Bach and Beethoven . The Beatles were amazing and I'm a huge fan but none of them could do the things Brian was doing back then .
Still the Beatles catalogue is far superior.
I always here this argument from beach boys fans that taken singularly Wilson is the better musichan and although I agree he was the superior producer and probably had more musical knowledge, but the number of outstanding songs both bands put out doesn't even compare.
@@emanuelebelle3943 The only Beatles album I’ll take over Pet Sounds is Revolver thats it tbh My god If only SMiLE was released
@@emanuelebelle3943 just listen to pet sounds isolated vocals and you’ll rethink your arguement
@@emanuelebelle3943 The Beatles had three songwriters, plus someone else serving as an arranger and producer. Plus, they basically kept at it through '69 whereas by the second half of '67, Brian was withdrawing. I sure would hope their output of outstanding songs would eclipse one man who did all of those tasks himself in a shorter span.
Putting the Smile album into the context of the period of when it was supposed to be released (Dec 1966, with delays through the end of May 1967), it would have blown everyone away. That was a big part of the reason they fell out of favor like a sinking rock after it was shelved. The build up of anticipation for the new sound, all of the talk about what was coming from so many sources, then many hearing Brian sing Surf's Up on Leonard Bernstein's CBS special, and then poof, gone! Add to that the cancellation of their appearance at Monterrey Pop Festival. They quickly became passé. It became accepted it was all hype, and with all the rapid changes in '67 in music and society, they were looked upon as so yesterday. It certainly didn't help that Smiley Smile was, as Carl Wilson so aptly put it, "a bunt instead of a grand slam" with a number one single on it which by that point was a year old.
If Brian had the support from the band that he needed, what could have been? That's the question to this very day, and one that's been asked by many over the last 57 years.
Maybe the greatest thing ever recorded.
Maybeeeee,???
Fantastic group harmonies - totally exhilirating.
Surf's Up, and Strawberry Fields Forever
In the top 10 for sure.
Good vibrations?
Brian was asked recently who said 'you're under arrest.' He said that it was his wife Marilyn's younger sister's boyfriend or husband.
Yep, his name is/was Gene Gaddy
I was under the impression it was Mike Love
Fantastic Mr Fox
the ending to this version is beautiful. this shouldve been on smiley smile.
"the smile that you send out returns to you."....printed on back cover of smiley smile album
True in so many ways.
the love you take is equal to the love you make
I love that quote
Originally taken from a piece of contemporary ephemera, where it was credited to -"Indian Wisdom."
I think this line inspired the very last words of Abbey Road
Fantastic Mr Fox turned me on to this
ohh yes!👌

The song of the year 1967 in France. They "got it."
Interesting! Didnt know that
France has very laid back views on psychedelic drugs
Well it wasn't this version they were listening to though
So they were taking a lot of acid then too? While Heroes and Villains and some others were fine, like most bands in the late 60's/early 70's most of what the Beach Boys produced during that period was drug fueled narcissism that was better left in the can.
@@watchtheadsonmyvideosoillg1028 That explains why France had a band called "Gong" who are ultra psychedelic.
"Are you cussing with me?" - Fantastic Mr Fox
After hearing this song, I felt as though SMiLE would've surpassed both Revolver and Sgt.Pepper's album (both are known for being revolutionary albums of the Beatles) had it been released.
As Brian Wilson once said when he heard Strawberry fields forever. "They got there first." Sorry but the Fab 4 were always one step ahead of the Beach Boys. Brilliant as Brian Wilson is, the Beach Boys were not as united as the Beatles at that time and Brian didn't have the backing of the others to pull off SMiLE the way he wanted. Rubber Soul was the LP that inspired Brian to do Pet sounds.
jayrox40 While I agree on you, I should've say that it was my opinion. I admit that I loved SMiLE more than Sgt.Pepper (which in all honesty isn't in my top 3 favorites) but would've been competing with Revolver on my most favorite album. Of course all this wouldn't really matter to a lot but I'm putting it out there.
*****
My faves are Rubber soul and Revolver, of course in 1968 they all went back to basics. Beach Boys with Do it again, Beatles with Lady Madonna. :)
jayrox40 I forgot to mention, although it's true Brian was really inspired by Rubber Soul (the U.S. version that is, the one that doesn't have Drive My Car, What Goes On and If I Needed Someone), the sessions for Pet Sounds was going on before Help! was released and probably during the Rubber Soul sessions.
Yup
If the Beach Boys had their own version of the animated film Yellow Submarine, it would look something like this.
If I tell you I'm dyin', come to me with headphones and this song.
It's one of ten songs that's made the whole trip worthwhile.
Think it one greatest songs
The Beach Boys recorded some truly great singles. This was certainly one of their best.
One of the greatest songs ever made
This is a piece of art
absolutely love the instrumental at the end of this track.
wish it would have been longer
damn whatever that bass sound is during the creepy chorus part blows my mind every time.
Brian would have had a 1, 2, Punch with Pet Sounds and then SMiLE a year later. Sadly Brian said it would've taken him over a year still to finish SMiLE by the time he decided to shelve it , Seemingly forever. Which doesn't suprise me honestly, Considering this song took over 20 recording sessions to complete over a few months time. I cant even fathom what SMiLE could've been like had it been completed and not rushed for release or shelved. Even the songs that weren't even halfway completed give me goosebumps, Like Wind Chimes or Love To Say Dada. The SMiLE sessions cuts of thise tunes that were released seem like half finished, Lyrically that is.
How many songs were meant to be in the completed SMiLE?
@@marksomethingI think it's impossible to say honestly
Yes, Good Vibrations was a fabulous song; years ahead of its time; one of the best songs ever recorded. But for the exquisite pleasure of listening to post-1960 music, for me Heroes and Villains leaves Good Vibrations in the dust. Nothing recorded since touches its perfection and genius. I guess I'll go to Wikipedia and read about VanDyke Parks; and maybe Tandyn Almer while I'm there.
A friend that worked with the Beach Boys in the early / mid 60s has an interesting perspective. The most sognificant, to me, was his view of partnerships. If Brian felt you were helping to give him ideas to creation.. he gave writing credit. He said the true contributions by Park were minimal.
it's not a contest. They are both masterpieces. The long version of Heroes and villains should have been the single released with the shortened version the B side. P.S.-Good Vibrations is the better! :)
Brian Wilson is a genius like no other
no, paul mccartney is a more genius like no other
@@mahirakalucasahammed2443 Brian is more talented ur embarrassing
@@mahirakalucasahammed2443no, John Lennon is a genius like no other
Don't mind me; just excited for The Boys Season 3!!!!!
Lol just came from the trailer

Alas, it was shit.
one of the most beautiful things ever recorded
The Beach Boys are the most underrated classic band ever, period
The first 45 record I owned. I played it and the flip side "You're Welcome" hundreds of times and never tired of either one.
I used to play my older brother's Beach Boy's Greatest Hits album when I was a kid. This was my favourite song then, and it still is now. The vocal harmonies at 3:12 are second to none. Genius .....
My favourite part of the song
That hummed part starting at 1:51...who thinks up stuff like this?? Also "boys...and...girls...and...boys" at 2:50...my gosh Brian is a genius.
The animated visual accompaniment is lovely.
3:35 this part lives rent free in my head
so does biden
@@samsepiol05590 what
Al has one of the best voices. P.S. This song is essentially the blueprint for ELO.
Across the Border.
Jeff said he was influenced by Macartney
3:15 I love the way they drew him here!
Blown. Away.
Brian Wilson is Too underrated
This entire song is an amazingly perfect journey. It's so perfect!
The harmonies are breathtaking.
How can you not like The Beach Boys
This version still has it's magic but since seeing/hearing the finished version Brian intended, absolutely blown away...
Which version is that?

Thank you, Mr. Robot - for showing me this masterpiece
brilliant.
thank you brian!
love you brian!
Lets take the scenic route
Prettier too. ^_^
It's actually faster anyways.
Truly brilliant animation by Robert Capria for this magnificent song. I especially love the free fall at 1:30 and of course all of the Mexican imagery. (The 9 seconds of flashing at 2:35 hurts my eyes though.) 4:16 to the end is pure bliss.
The Beach Boys merecen mas reconocimiento! Apuesto a que si SMILE hubiese salido a tiempo, sería otra historia...
Your practically glowing. maybe it's the lighting
Absolute enjoyment! We are VERY lucky this LP finally saw the light of day.
Came from the boys trailer, loved how it was used, great job editors!
this was in the charts on saturday 26 august 1967
Yeah I could've watched this on Saturday mornings back in the 70's right between Schoolhouse rock & the Pink Panther. Great work!
every time i hear this song i am taken back to 66, being 10 years old, wearing cutoffs, and riding my Roller Derby skateboard in the summertime, at Schear Park in Long Beach. thanks for the memories Brian....

The Beach Boys could turn utter cacophony into music. Such a magical group!
Still don't understand how this didn't make #1 in 67!

people are idiots. for christs sake they voted for nixon.
+Kevin Russell And obummer,twice chrissakes,,,,,
+MultiJaylea yeah cos they should have voted for Magic Underpants Romney pffffft
+Valerie G. because The Beatles
In Jr. High I only knew 4 or 5 The Beach Boys songs.
I am 61 and 'cause of you tube I found a lot of great songs.
Pet Sounds and Smile. Pure Genius.
In 83 I bought an album.
Dazzle Ships by OMD. (with this album they lost lots of fans)
They became my favorite band (OMD for the next James Bond song).
And yes I fell in love with The Beach Boys.
You know what screw the sea of time, sea of holes, and the sea of monsters. WE GOT THE SEA OF SMILES OVER HERE!
Fantastic Mr. Fox ♥️🦊
Found this song on Mafia 3 and haven't looked back since
I loved how the cartoon Beach Boys moved like ‘Bod’ at the start (A British 1970s cartoon creation for pre schoolers btw)
Fantastic. I'd like to see more of this for Cabinessence, Wonderful, Mrs.O'Leary's Cow, Wind Chimes, Surf's Up, etc.
Mr.Sensitive hello again
Gosh.!!! I was 17 in 1967 when I first heard that song, and will always love it...!!!
I never really cared for Beach Boys growing up. Now in my mid 30's, I heard this song several times on Sirius Radio while driving 12 hours on vacation to, obviously the beach...this song played at least 5x there and back, didn't listen to it at first, but gave it a try and....wow...nothing else to add, this band is borderline majestic. These guys are a whole vibe, so beautiful, makes me almost sad that the boys behind this sweet sound are no longer with us. So thankful for my maturity, and the sense to truly appreciate works like this.
One of the best Beach Boy songs, great animation, winner all around.
The animation is great. Looks completely like the 60's and I could instantly tell which Beach Boy was which :-)
Nothing at all like the video I've always had in my head for this song, but this is pretty incredible, must have been a lot of work!
reality as we know it is truly the darkest timeline. nothing beats the Beach Boys at this stage in their tragic story.
This video is great!
Beach Boys the coolest band ever...
Here from The Boys... and Fantastic Mr Fox, obviously.
5 minutes of pure music magic. Video looks a bit Yellow-Submarinish ;)
They did it before the Beatles
Swag Slap Are you sure?
@@luigi6492 yep.
The movie "Yellow Submarin" is from 1968
@@sunfucker2213 No, the beatles did it first. This video was made by a fan for the release of the "Smile Sessions" album.

One of the best beach boys song and one of the most complex in harmonies and voices from brian
Oh my word this song is incredible.
Beach Boys in the Sky with Diamonds
Just an awesome piece of music and with so many segments recorded, just a nightmare to decide on a final version. I think the ones that Brian, Van Dyke & Darian came up with for 2004 BWPS and now this release is just superb.
In my top three of BB songs (along with "The Warmth of the Sun" and "Sail On, Sailor")
I love you so much Brian
Absolutely beautiful art for an absolutely beautiful song!!!
I listened to this song while having a truffle trip, one of the most extraordinary and beautiful experience of my life.
Beautiful
I have to give praise to the fabulous art direction in this music video, it perfectly compliments the song and was clearly made by someone who is a fan of The Beach Boys.
thank you. this is really cool.
This is my favorite song and it is in my favorite movie (the fantastic mr fox)!!
