Agreed but i feel like Mike did not achieve the same level of transcendence that George did on their Indian retreat and him using it at that point just feels like a white douchebag appropriation

there’s no way because by the beatles has no inspiration whatsoever from the bbs but ive never find or heard anything on that - as if it would be something out of line to put together

but i hardly believe an acapella song made out of harmonies vocals in 1969 post pet sounds and smile has no connection whatsoever

@RVI @Elric any expertize to bring to this? (legit no idea who else on ktt would know about the beatles like that other than saying they’re goat and white album is amazing - if you do please tag them)

i think Because was probably influenced in some way just because they were big beach boys fans, like maybe they didnt set out to make it that way (probably not imo) but I am sure the thought crossed their minds during recording that it was sounding good in a same way that beach boys type harmonies did. maybe Because wasn't consciously inspired by Beach Boys, and instead it was just influenced/continuation by previous stuff Beatles were doing that was already inspired by beach boys, and their (Paul's?) personal taste in harmonies which of course included beach boys stuff that they loved. same thing I feel with Sun King. I kinda hesitate to say that absolutely anything with somewhat Beach Boys harmonies was directly influenced by them instead of possibly just being influenced by the fact that those Beach Boys harmonies had already worked themselves into the musical lexicon. In a weird way, I feel like that might actually be saying more about Beach Boys; its one thing to have people consciously trying to copy you but when they end up sounding like you just by nature of your style being influential across the musical landscape it feels bigger. A***ogy I just thought of is tons of 70s guitarists having obvious Jimi Hendrix influence without consciously thinking "i'm gonna try to sound like Hendrix", just because the guitar style completely worked its way into the fabric of everything

Here There and Everywhere probably gets mentioned more (especially by Paul himself) because it iirc it was conscious effort to sound like Beach Boys. where Because/Sun King might sound like Beach Boys vocals but I can believe that the Beatles didn't specifically have them in mind while recording. and I kinda feel like the overall mood of Here There and Everywhere sounds more like Beach Boys. Also IIRC Because/Sun King are both more Lennon songs so it makes sense that Paul, who was bigger BBs fan anyway i thought, wouldnt mention them and what inspired them. Now that I think of it thats probably the simple answer, maybe if Lennon was alive he would have mentioned those songs along with beach boys. i probably rambled a lot. also of course dont want to act like Beach Boys completely invented harmonies or anything like that

i think @Noir has a lot of Beatles knowledge

like what’s the inspiration behind because - it’s a stand out track from anything they did there and i find it unlikely the bbs aren’t the blueprint of this yet i have found nothing that backs it up, letting think im the only one in the world to make a connection of influence there

i found some people saying similarities between Beach Boys and Because, but its also kind of a difficult song title to google lol. and people just dont talk about it too much in general and it gets overshadowed by most of the other abbey road songs, in part because theyre probably a bit more accessible to the general public.
