First off, I can't quite get over how much the part beginning around 1:20 (lie awake / nothin' but nothin' could ever stand in our way) reminds me of "Spring Vacation" when it goes "we used to get around / get up and hit up all the hot spots in town." I'm dealing with it the best I can.
Now, do we know the full credits on this recording, or more details about the history of the song? I ask because... [time for some
admittedly, purely wild speculation
]
It sounds to me like Peter Hollens remixed a song Brian Wilson had recorded. The vocals sound like about 15% Brian, a few obvious lead lines and some prominent background parts, but in many, many places, it's tough to hear whether he's there. And further, the most prominent falsetto parts don't really sound like either guy, and to me sound almost like ... Jeff. Possible? There are other midrange parts as well that don't especially sound like either guy, most often in the parts that could easily have been background vocals on a track not intended to be a Peter Hollens (semi-) a capella song, but rather a full band arrangement of a Brian Wilson song. This might be 100% wrong, but that's the impression I get: that BW shared recordings he wasn't going to use and Hollens added his own leads, that beat, took the fragments of BW leads and other backgrounds he wanted, and discarded the backing track and other parts he didn't. (This as opposed to a true collaboration.)
So does anyone know more definitively what happened with this?

Don't care for this guy's performance but the song is nice and Brian sounds good. Ah well.
U.S., too.

All I have to say after hearing this track (thanks Shady!) is BRING ON "NO PIER PRESSURE"!! Holy cow, Brian sounds amazing. On first listen I hear a lot of similarities to "The Like In I Love You" from the Gershwin project, as well as the aforementioned similarity to "Spring Vacation". Still, I quite like it.

"Because of the attitude of a few mental dinosaurs intent on exploiting our initial success, Brian's huge talent has never been fully appreciated in America and the potential of the group has been stifled.... If the Beatles had suffered this kind of misrepresentation, they would have never got past singing 'Please Please Me' and 'I Wanna Hold Your Hand' and leaping around in Beatle suits."
-Dennis Wilson, 1970

Well, in the fact it appeared on someone else's album, i imagine
Yep, that's what I was getting at
Slowely but surely getting through pm's sent overnight, everyone should have the MP3 link now
Songs can appear on multiple albums simultaneously. Given the nimber of collaborations on the new album, why would another one be a surprise? I'll go out on a limb and guess this is a NPP album track.

This doesn't working in the U.S., it's just a link to the track being stored locally on your computer. Thanks, though!

For me it got better with each listen... at first I found it a little too clean and too produced for my taste. But it's a good song and after listening to it a couple of times its merits began to show. Sounds like a classic BW solo track, too.

Thanks, Shady, for your, uh, help.
It's kinda like a 90's R&B song.

My exact thoughts.
It's a song that really needs a few listens.
Not a huge fan of Hollens voice but we can't chance that

On mine, it's blanked out. A PM would be... less frustrating. Thanks.

Sorry guys, but I don't like it. The auto-tuned robot vocals are so horrible. It's disgusting really. An insult to an artist with the history of Brian. Geez..

Just gave it a listen. I think auto tune is helping Brian on this track more than hurting. I love it! Brian's voice sounds so humble and sincere, sort of like a huge "thank you" to his fans that have supported him this entire time. He sounds tired, which honestly improves the song.

I greatly appreciate the sharing of this tune. That being said, no sir, I don't like it. I mean, the harmonies sound nice, but robo Brian combined with the other dude who's voice bore's me to tears AND what sounds like a boy band tune production just aren't hitting the spot for me. I'm still hopeful that Brian's album can be enjoyable, but this style of tune is what I was afraid of when they started throwing out all of the guest artist's that were going to be featured on it. I generally loathe the "classic artist with a bunch of contemporary guests" type album. Still, I will let my ears decide when the album is released.
