It is a special song. It was the first Beach Boys song (at 19 in 1982) that truly carried me away emotionally- and blew my mind... And if you've never had those ephemeral, hard to pin down feelings BW gets across on this track- man- you haven't lived...
7:20 In the nineties Glen Campbell gave an interview in which he recalled Brian rhapsodizing about the sound of open chords and urging his guitarists to play those first-position chords whenever possible.
I hear the ending and I just felt a connection. It sounds like I Got You Babe by Sonny and Cher. That song also came out in 1965, once again both Wrecking Crew productions.
yes, yes yes. That french horn is haunting. I made a video all about it as well. I just listen to the backing track alone to find peace. It's beyond incredible. I appreciate you made a video about it as well.
Like Eric Carmen’s quote, Brian’s voice is often reminiscent of the horn. He loves to use the horn sweeps as an echo of his voice. Later he sometimes gave those echo lines to Bruce (when he wanted the least rockin’ sound possible (sorry (not sorry) Bruce).
Very interesting as always. I love the English Horn, such an evocative sound. I always feel this track is one of the first times you can really taste the Bacharach in his cooking, what do you think? In the piano and guitars, and just the feel of the whole thing, very wistful. Big up for the Dik Dik guest appearance, their little trunks are natures antidepressants... and oxytocin... trunks and oxytocin.
Excellent as always!! Your musical knowledge and intelligence is greatly appreciated in your production walk-through's!! Does Brian write the arrangements for every instrument when he's producing? Thank you for your great work on the songs!!
In those days, Brian would sing what he wanted everyone to play, one musician at a time. They would often suggest ideas that Brian would take on board--but certainly Brian conceived of most everything in any given arrangement.
I really would love for you to do I just wasn't made for these times to hear your opinion on the wood blocks temple blocks whatever it might be they were actually using
I love this deconstruction that you did, but I noticed a couple small errors. Billy Strange's guitar part plays slightly different notes than the way you transcribed it. Also, not really a mistake but on the original track there's actually two piano parts. One played by Brian and the other by Leon Russell of all people. The opening little riff is double tracked by both of them and then Brian's part plays throughout the entire song, not just the small parts you included.
These are not full covers -- I only play things that I want to highlight and there was no reason to double the piano here because I only wanted to highlight the musical line--not the unisono orchestration. As for Billy Strange's part I respectfully disagree with you but I'm happy to be corrected if you are willing to provide your own transcription that proves to be more accurate.
@@joshilynhoisington This is a terrific breakdown, but I do tentatively agree re Billy Strange's parts, but only on the Ab/Bb chord. I believe where you're playing a full on Ab Major chord, Billy is playing with a finger pressed down on the 2nd fret of the A string (assuming it's a B chord shape tuned down half step) or sometimes he omits the A string altogether. Altogether though this is absolutely brilliant work and you are one of my favorite channels!!

YES! Well said.
Yet another sweeping French Horn line even shows up recently on "One Kind of Love". It's certainly an ear-catching detail, so to speak.

Thankful there is someone who gives the time to do these beach boy vids. I learn a lot. Bless you girl.
This is some amazing shit... thanks...............
These videos just get better and better. Thank you so much for taking the time to put them together with such care
I used to live kinda near Sunset and La Brea. You're welcome.

Yeah, I hear what you mean!
Joshilyn, this is beautiful. I love Brian's arrangements for horns and winds and it's a dream come true to hear them isolated.
yes, yes yes. That french horn is haunting. I made a video all about it as well. I just listen to the backing track alone to find peace. It's beyond incredible. I appreciate you made a video about it as well.
Mix that horn medley with what the vibraphone does and you have some 1960's bliss right in your ears.
Fascinating. You are really, really good at this. Sincere thanks.

God I love how break it down. Aside from Stax of Trax cd. You don't realize Brian's complexities. Mastermind Genius.
Thanks for this informative video. Brian certainly made Dave Duke earn his keep for his short but difficult part!

I hear you on the Bacharach. Also on the trunks and oxy.
This is great! Just found your channel. Thanks so much for the breakdown.
Really helpful to hear the breakdown. I really makes one dedicated to get better at producing and arranging oneself. Thanks for your work!
Would like you do deconstruct all i wanna do from the sunflower album. That would be very interesting. Just an idea 😉
I'll get there -- I'm going through the tracks chronologically by album so it'll come up eventually.
Grateful for all the work you put into helping us understand how these recordings were made!
You're doin' a great job. Love your channel so much. It's so interesting to dive into Brians production techniques. 👍
Fantastic work! 👏👏👏 your breakdown is amazing

@@jonathanw3909 I buy what you're saying. I actually really hate transcribing chordal instruments for exactly this reason.
