Beach boys summer days

The girl from New York City

The instrumental & vocals are fantastic. Seems like a great opener so far!
We’ll turn Em on with all the things happening night and day. Great chorus

Amusement parks USA

This instrumental sounds just like I entered Coney Island 🏝 amusement park
Lets take your car and mess around at the park all day. Disney land is worth a trip to LA
The laughs sound really neat and fun in here ! The vocals of the guy like announcing the amusement parks is super cool as well

Than I kissed her

When we danced i held her right
Then I walked her home that night
All the stars ✨ were shining bright ! Fantastic instrumental. Big fan of the chorus as well. Really nice atmosphere here synths

Salt Lake City

There’s a park near the city, yeah 🌃
All the kids dig the lagoon now
The shakers and this instrumental is amazing sounds like city life 🎷 give a bit of adult child sound and I enjoy a lot ! Chorus is phenomenal
Solo ending harmonizing

Girl don’t tell me

I’ll bet you went out every night during your school time! I heard this one with my grandfather as well !! Cruises in the city 🌃
Instrumental is relaxed and very soothing
Nice chorus as well. Guitar is a great touch on here !

Help me, Rhonda

And I know it wouldn’t take much time
This version sounds a bit different I heard on the beginning instruments for sure.

California girls

The west coast has the sunshine ☀️

Great chorus, as well I like how the beginning sounds slow and then the instrumental picks up for a fun song !

Let him run wild

🏃‍♂️ this is a great slower pace here
Let him run (let him run) I like the increase of sound here 🎷 very nice chorus

You’re so good to me

You take my hand 🤚 and you understand when I get in a bad mood You are so good to me
Another fantastic beginning instrumental!
Another fantastic chorus 🙏 la la la la la la la la la la la la . Guitar sounds lovely as well.

Summer means new love

Nice slow sounding instrumental that sounds tropical as well. Feeling this sound throughout this project for sure. Going to be high on my list !

I’m bugged at my ol man

I came in a little late and my ol man he just blew his mind Why did he sell my surfboard 🏄
This piano 🎹 is wonderful This song has a wonderful tune and chorus! The background vocals are great 👍 once again though that piano !!!! With the vocals they gave me some 🍞 breadcrumbs. (Now
It’s gone)

And your dreams come true

A great short sounding closer with the harmonizing you’re so sleepy one more summer this album makes me wish it was summer

i've spent years solely knowing them for the obvious - I Get Around, Surfin USA, Kokomo and Wouldn't It Be Nice...
i've finally broke the wall and it's some of the most beautiful music i've heard!

mike love really took this 1985 song:

and like 30 years later, suddenly woke up and went: ok this hard but i need john stamos on it and change one or two words and then i for sure got an absolute masterpiece

so in 1978 there’s this infamous missing puzzle in the bb history where brian disappeared for a few days

he left his home and a few days later, he was found way down in san diego in pretty ugly bad shape and so what happened during those days remained absolutely unknown to anyone for decades

but around 2015 some fan that found brian during this disappearance finally shared his story with some unseen photos to back it up

so for context here’s this piece from a beach boys book from 1986 that shed some light on it:

JB and his brother were spending a few days in san diego, there from the east coast, and boom of all things they found the one and only brian wandering down the street, imagine the odds as a fan

brian was staying at a fortune teller lady house who was giving him marijuana.. ofc

JB an his brother were beach boys fanatics so they invited brian to join them for dinner that night.

they went to a mexican restaurant in la jolla n they had margarita pitchers and talked about the smile tapes.

after dinner they went back home where brian played on their piano “california feeling” - a new more gospel song he was working on during that era that was gonna be on a beach boys album and be the album title but he backed out i forgot why but for some odd reason, song never was used or saw the light of the day until 2013 in this career boxset:

he played that and well you guessed it the infamous shortenin’ bread jam that i already mentioned above

brian played some more songs, drank a lot of beer and started crying about never measuring up to phil spector 😔😔 @Elric

it sounds wholesome out it that way, from the fan perspective - what a trip! but from brian, the genuis and most beloved artist to suddenly disappear los angeles and roaming all the way down to san diego to be helped by a lady who gave him weed and end up in some fan house singing on the piano and crying... it’s heartbreaking..
