Smile Shop Smile v 3.0 (AI)

- My version of Smile, using AI to finish the unfinished bits, which I'm cheekily naming after the website me and my pal John Lane used to run back in Ye Olde Days!
Also: check out my remix of Smiley Smile!

I’ll never understand why people, including folks in the band, continue to cut the single best chorus on this entire album, The Vega Tables chorus.
My daddy says eat a lot sleep a lot brush em like crazy. Run a lot do a lot never be lazy
It’s accidentally autobiographical in a dark way and utterly beautiful, and gives the song a much needed rest exactly where it should be. Boosts the song from just good to sublime. Makes it stand definitive and proud on this record next to Surfs Up and Good Vibrations, and everyone cuts it for literally no reason. Such a shame.
Technically it’s not cut on this mix, it’s just repurposed. It’s used as a chorus for I’m In Great Shape, because if I remember correctly the “Do A Lot” session was on the same tape as IIGS, but I could be wrong. I know there was some connection between those two before it was reused in Vega-Tables.
I'm really glad people are still making SMiLE mixes. It's still the best unfinished album of all time! Nice job, lots of fun stuff here
Surely Brian finished it when it was released.
Great music, love the harmonies.
@@davidwilliams2403 Brian finished two projects: Brian Wilson Presents SMiLE, and the Smile Sessions. It may seem like a pedantic distinction, but it is important. When I make my own SMiLE fan mixes, I do take both of those projects as gospel, as they were BRIAN's own contributions. But, in Brian's own words, "Smile was scrapped, the whole thing was scrapped." And sadly, the efforts from 1966-67 remain that way today. Hell, the evidence for this is in the pudding: so many people feel the need to make their own SMiLE fan mixes to this day. Why? It's unfinished.
Absolutely fantastic!!
I always think my SMiLE obsession has finally gone away, and then I get sucked back in. It’s crazy how far it’s come in 20 years; I remember being on the SMiLE Shop board and anonymous people talking about clips they had heard, or knew existed but very few people had heard them. I always remember Desmond Jones saying he heard a version of Do A Lot with sound effects on it, like pots and pans and silverware clinking around. It was all such a mystery back then. Over the years we learned a lot of the answers, but there’s still enough questions that you keep coming back to it.
Who were you on the Shop? What was your handle?
Justin! I was more of a lurker back then, but later on I was a regular at The Record Room. Somewhere I still have a printout of a thread where you listed all of the sections of H&V and their names. I think someone even said ‘someone should print this out as a quick guide’. I printed it off, thinking it would come in handy!
Really like your version of CIFOTM.
This is great. Please do you have a link to the file so that I can add it to my music library?
Awesome!! Love the use of Prayer at the end per Michael Vosse, I did something similar for my mix.
How do you go about re-mixing these songs? Like how do you get the tracks, do you have stems? Is it AI? I wanna try it out myself I know this album like it’s etched in my head every second
Very nice! Love the ideas here!!!
😒
The SMiLE SHOP strikes again! Later Jon.

Thank you
I love the new verse to "I'm In Great Shape!" Did you write those lyrics yourself?
I did!
It's funny how the simplest version of "Vegetables" is my favorite. It's also interesting how many versions of these songs exist.
Brian Wilson certainly knows how to put words and music together. 😊
I get it’s your mix, but IDK about Our Prayers at the end
That’s where Mike Vosse said it went in an article in 1969.
@@jonbuseyhunt I suppose, but I do remember Brian calling it the “intro to the album”
@@Hal9000ize Those are quite the polar opposites, eh? I wonder if the concept really changed that much during the time that Brian was fully engaged?
@@Hal9000ize He did, he is actually on recording saying so during one of the sessions for Our Prayer. He had also mentioned that it wasn't going to be its own track either, but rather, it was going to be a "hidden" intro track as part of Heroes and Villains. I suppose there's a chance that could've changed given that Brian was susceptible to sudden creative shifts at that time, but I'd personally trust the word of Brian more than some interview with a production assistant journalist two years after the shelving of the project. Besides, in my own subjective opinion, it just doesn't sound right to have Our Prayer at the end of Heroes and Villains.
@@Providence..I mean, Vosse heard multiple of Brian’s acetates and explanations of how they’d go together, so he’s not entirely dismissible.
Why mono?
Mono is how it would have come out in 1967.
Brian would have done mono!!
Please leave it as Brian wanted it to be when he officially released it. It's a bit like re-painting the Mona Lisa.
His version is and will always be available.
Why are you searching for and then playing fan alternative mixes then? You make no sense.
I get notifications from 'somewhere', listen to the re-mix, then go back to the original & usually the best, as it was intended to be by the makers.@@bertramonker7179
