Time To Get Alone?

Juggler, I think it's probably the most underrated BB song there is! I want everyone to hear this and realise they weren't just about Surfin' USA. Hypehat, I loooove the harmonies at the end of the Hawthorne version.

Just been listening to TTGA again, was in the best mood for it - being grumpy! I still think it's the best song ever and I still think it is heavenly. A lot of BB songs are heavenly/spiritual.

You know I've never been the biggest fan but I'll be darned if sometimes I don't find myself humming it absentmindedly. "The pine scented air smells so good in the snow..."
Just great.

Between the different variations, sessions and mutations of the orig. track, which with much subsequent work eventually resulted in the released BB's version on 20/20, and the unreleased '68 Carl produced version which is a completely different track and inferior to the released version...breath...between all the work that went into those TTGA's between '67 and '69, Alan Boyd once told me he believes TTGA was the Beach Boys song that the most recording effort or studio time went toward producing. The most attention given to any song in their history. That was a whoa moment for me...but he should know.

Thanks Jon, that is really interesting! :) It doesn't really surprise me though, you can hear so many layers in that song. Knowing that info now makes me sad that it never became a hit. To spend hours on such a wonderful song and then it just sit there and be overlooked for so many years, it's a real shame. My best song ever, no doubt about that. I'd love to know more information on this song if anyone has it.
