Pet sounds changed my life

Real
S***

how did it change your life

Changed my whole perception of what music could be, opened the doorway for me to a lot of the other psychedelic music of the 60s

Listened to summer days, nice album

bro im telling you

like how can you leave out a composition like this?ugh, brian still had it and was experimenting new genres, would’ve been goat run following love you, i can’t find it but i remember an interview with dennis wilson who was praising it and hyping it up, kinda like he did for smile after pet sounds, he was so loyal and real, he was us

i found this tho

According to the band's manager Stan Love—also the younger brother of the Beach Boys' Mike Love—when Mike heard the rough demo recordings of Adult/Child replete with big band swing arrangements, he turned to Brian and asked: "What the f*** are you doing?"

maybe this is why it’s still not commercialized, mike love is a curse....

bro no way! i feel like @Elric prolly has one of these?

dude i met one time a customer at work wearing a similar shirt to that AND a brian wilson gershwin hat! she said she went to la and met the dude who wrote all i wanna do, which was written by mike love so, she must’ve confused it with another song.. still surreal to met someone on your job casually namedropping that song tho

she said she saw him live on that smile tour too way back, so lucky

i envy anyone who experience pet sounds for the first time, it shouldn’t be a given, there wasn’t and won’t be another album conducted like this.. it was a shooting star of genuis

lots of other albums from that era that are praised are great songwriting following a trend, the scene that was going on, but pet sounds, NOTHING set this up there is no album that sounded and sounds like that, and the songwriting and arrangement craft done by 20yo brian is out of this galaxy

you’re right it really opened up the spectrum of music and there’s a part of me that always feel like today we are living in a alternative reality: the bad one, the one where unfortunately pet sounds was pushed aside for the samey hits of that time and smile canceled, i genuinely feel humanity missed the biggest switch of pop music that could’ve happen...

🤗

summer days is lately becoming one i really love but i reckon there’s skippables, the highs are amazing tho! maybe try today! that’s the most consistent pre pet sounds album that sets you up to pet sounds and is great through out the whole project

id recommend sunflower, you’ll like both of these much more than summer days i can guarantee you that

@deepsleep i didn’t think of the solo stuff, but i would make a priority to check out dennis wilson’s pacific ocean blue, you’re gonna love it it’s very mellow (he the drummer also became singer songwriter who did little bird, be still, slip on through, forever)

Recently came to the conclusion that Sunflower is an overall better album than Surf's Up. For a long time I was team Surf's Up because Day in the Life of a Tree/Til I Die/Surf's Up was so insanely good, but Sunflower is so consistent. Virtually all of it is fantastic.

How was this album a commercial flop?

i do but it is in absolute shambles, covered in paint and s***

the only concert shirt i desecrated for some reason

wow not sure what this is telling me

TEAM SUNFLOWER I BEEN SAYING YESSIR !!!!!! even if sunflower still has some bruce song im not a fan (i know lot of ktts seem to love tears but to me it’s too much of a adult contemporary type song, very granny safe type) ill take it over student any day!

if you switch up surf’s up track list with its leftovers it definitely reaches pet sounds, but as it is.. even the highs are more intense, sunflower is more consistent and there’s just more brian written songs anyway!

this whole world always blows my mind there is so much happening in such little time, kinda their happiness is a warm gun in that context

imo i replace tears with good time, even that one was used for love you it don’t make sense because love you puts my diane aside only to use that on the miu album even tho good time is a sunflower song in which they didn’t change anything lol so you listen to love you with a rough 77 brian all along and then out the blue you get falsetto fresh young brian from 70 on good time, always came off odd to me lol

as for commercial flop, and the fatal one for brian, that is a mystery, a heartbreaking one... i guess 70 was too much into bluesy stuff and this album didn’t click, too innocent and pure, back then scenes were moving fast, the bbs were always outsiders that why we appreciate it more today maybe in retrospective

Back when I was listening to pet sounds heavily I became obsessed with the smile sessions

I used to listen to them heaps wondering what could’ve been if Brian managed to complete the album properly as intended

a broken life

kinda genuis how in the movie they had two actors, not just for two different ages, but in a way because there was a brian before and after .. i wish brian stood up more to mike loves bullshit, he did ‘til i die in 69, played with his fingers on the piano as if they were waves.. and just spit out the lyrics, after the first line came to him while he was at the beach staring at the ocean realizing how small he is... it was grandiose, a master of inspiration to the level of smile, but with a personal touch this time, he said it’s the most personal lyrics he did

but when he played it to mike, mike just shrugged, insensitive, i guess it wasn’t the surf throwback he was hoping .. and so brian shelved that song, of course thankfully surf’s up the album happened, but that s*** happened too many times, a genuis compromised because of a worthless imbecile, that’s the bigger tragedy

also our sweet love f***, what a song, a new god only knows... @Noir

Those vocals are majestic, something only peak Beach Boys could manage

this song just instantly takes me back to a spot nearby where i used to live back in france near a lake, picnic under a cool sun, outstanding mood, never fails... the soundtrack of spring day carl voice is something made with the touch of god in person
