Pretty much everything to do with "Don't Talk" on the Pet Sounds Sessions set: particularly the piano demo, the isolated strings and the unused backing vocals.


I adore that piano demo too. It blew me away when I first heard it, and still does strange things to me know. There's a lot to be said for Brian's demos and backing tracks. I often find them more moving than the fully realised versions. The early Time To Get Alone backing track is also a really mind bending listening experience. It sounds straightforward but it's really achingly beautiful, especially the french horn break.

But if we're talking about fully realised songs, add me to the list of those that find Warmth Of The Sun one of the most goosebump enducing.

It's either "Baby Blue" or "How Can We Still Be Dancing?". I can't remember which one is which.

"The sea air...is flowing through my room again..."

The last line gets me even more, Jon: ''Silently... silently she touched my face''.

I don't think there's a more nakedly emotional song in the entire BB/Wilson catalogue than this.

Gotta agree, Thoughts of You is an amazingly emotional song, although I must admit I prefer the version without the intense middle section, just a pensive Dennis with piano and strings.

Oh and i've forgotten, the end of All This Is That with Carl's falsetto, that is just one of the most beautiful Beach Boys moments imo.

I have to agree.
This "Jai guru dev" segment is better than the same on "Across The Universe". The melody of it is more beautiful & I prefer Carl than John as a better singer.
That outro where he keeps repeating that line reminds me of when Mike repeats "Over and over,The crow cries uncover the cornfield.Over and over,The thresher and hover the wheat field." It's just something mystical about it and the way all the instruments sound louder as they fade away is just incredible.

Yes!! Christ that just makes me start welling up when I listen to that part. Such a beautiful song.

"Surfer Girl."  Basically from beginning to end.  That recording is perfect.

There's also a great moment during "In My Room" which I've hardly ever heard them try to do that way in a live performance.  It's on the syllable "sigh," what sounds like maybe a whole-tone cluster, but it seems they must have changed the harmonies there later because it was so hard to sing live.

What always gets to me is a well-made radio (or TV) documentary where they cut from a line in an interview directly into the song.

A lot of times this is very effective with Pet Sounds. Brian will say something about the introspective lyrics and they'll cut right into "I've been trying hard to find the people who I won't leave behind...". Or Mike will comment about Brian's perfectionism with the vocals and they'll go right into, "You know it seems the more we talk about it...". Then Carol Kaye or somebody will comment on the instrumentation and they cut right into the opening of "Let's Go Away For Awhile". Sometimes that makes you hear it differently and really appreciate the songs in a different way, just hearing those well-placed snippets. I don't know if that makes sense...

Every time I hear the outro of "I'm so young" and "Please let me wonder" it gives me goosebumps..it's amazing how those songs have that effect on me.
It's PLMW for me, too. Then there's nothing for a long time... and then all the other stuff.

The organ solo in "Wendy" gives me goosebumps every time. In the mono version only though, the cough in the stereo version ruins it for me.

It gives me goosebumps I just can't control it...When Brian (or Carl) said "I Love You" right when the beat paused and you heard that "cling" it was just magical.

PCH followed by Summer's Gone. Never had such a reaction to any piece of music by anyone, let alone the Beach Boys, though to be fair no-one else's music could have moved me in such a way.

That was them saying "We're done. No more music. You can't depend on us anymore, you're on your own."  

It was also them saying: "didn't expect this did you, you thought we were washed up didn't you. You expected the worst didnt you. Well f*ck you - we're the Beach Boys and we're still as good as you ever remember us being."

Hate to say it cos worse things (have) happen(ed) at sea, but I felt bereaved the first time I heard that. Girlfriend came home to find me blubbing.

I rarely listen to this song. Not because I don't like it. I love it. It's just so...intense. Listening to this song leaves me emotionally drained. After that last line, and the way it ends after that, I have to turn off the cd. It's one of those moments when you can't help but to just sit there for several moments staring out into space. Never in my life have I heard a song with such intensely raw, naked bare emotion. It's like his soul was bleeding into that song.

I can rely on either Surfer Girl, Cool Cool Water, or Wouldn't it Be Nice. Depending on my mood...

There are so many many many of them, but for me it's often Good Timin'.

It's like goosebumps in a Zen state.
