andrew cover of “a day in the life of a tree”:

andrew even put that song at number two in his personal top 10:

2. "A Day in the Life of a Tree" The Beach Boys, 1971

---

AVW: It came out of a period when they were doing a lot of d****. I got to meet Al Jardine, and he told me that no one would sing it because it was too depressing, so the manager guy, Jack Rieley, sang it.

the other boys talks about the album surf’s up:

mgmt is dope as hell. been listening to them for a while

this for @theboy @Bad_Finger_Boogie

yea they big BB fans

I always find Cassius Love vs Sonny Wilson big cringe, but then out of nowhere Al saves it for me everytime when he casually says "alright girls" like DAMN JARDINE WHERE'D YOU GET THAT SASS FROM

ayo

A Day In The Life of a Tree is such an insane song, in a good way. I’m blown away every time I listen to it

according to the bands engineer before settling with jack rieley’s take, dennis wilson had a go on the lead vocals for this song

remains unheard and that’s a crime, we need this! rip to jack, and the song is great either way but dennis voice is a treasure

lmao

which makes me think there is a long list of stuff we -still- have yet to hear,,, there’s even a brian piano demo of ‘til i die... now imagine hearing that

devastating the lyrics were so sad nobody in the band would sing it, thats the manager on vocal

need a long meandering studio outtake of California Girls, when Brian was first experimenting with acid

what we got is flawless, not sure if id even want to hear dennis' version

sounds like something marth would say

the planets had to have aligned for a manager to deliver one of the highlight performances on an album by one the best vocal bands on earth

was fate

fr rieley snapped on it

i agree, but dennis tho

come on his voice is made for this

“Sail on, Sailor” (demo) – This 1971 demo of the Beach Boys' 1973 hit single was last heard five years ago by several Beach Boys historians. It was then in the possession of a venerated Beatles collector, who has since disappeared with the tape.

mf beatles stans can’t have anything nice

(this was written in 2014 and it still remains to be bootlegged or released or heard at all to this day)

he also wrote some great lyrics such “you need a mess of help to stand alone”

amazing bbs banger, love this song, great brian upbeat tune to open the album, wish we had more of these, the “she don’t know me” harmony breakdown with the synth and s***

i feel like lot of hipsters today would vibe with this song if they were presented to the bbs thru this, it aged godly

that intro is taken for granted, what a master piece

did they actually go to the beach

No, Kubrick directed those shots
