The intro verse bit in WTW is verrrrry similar to the DYLW verse.
I haven't seen this mentioned/discussed before (I could be wrong!) but I think it warrants a new thread simply to draw attention to it. So Little Bird isn't the only "updated" Smile track on Friends...

You know...not only do you have a point, it sounds extremely plausible. Of course, short of asking Brian himself, we'll probably never know for sure. But it REALLY makes sense. I never thought about this before now.

This is also Mr. Pool's Naughty List. Don't end up on here. It will be updated.

Super cool observation. I never noticed it myself. |

One more piece in the puzzle with regards to Friends being a somewhat 'post-psychedelic' and more homespun/relaxed version of the Smile style (at least partially). Making the album may have felt like finally making peace with the Smile music while other group members were now actively involved in terms of writing or even co-producing. Too bad this record was a commercial failure.

I don't really hear it, but Aren't You Glad reminds me a lot of Love To Say Da Da.

Evidence of the link between these tracks so many seem to point to? |

Here are my SMiLE Mixes. All are 2 suite, but still vastly different in several ways. Be on the lookout for another, someday. Aquarian SMiLE> HEREDumb Angel (Olorin Edition)> HEREDumb Angel [the Romestamo Cut]> HERE& This is a new pet project Ive worked on, which combines Fritz Lang's classic film, Metropolis (1927) with The United States of America (1968) as a new soundtrack. More info is in the video description.

Never noticed! But yes sounds the same. I bet it is. We got to ask Brian next round of questions he have here. He is known to steel chords and reffs from other songs!
