Would it be incorrect of me to think that the verses sound more Gershwin and the "gliding in a starless sky" part sounds more Wilson?
I was thinking along those same lines, actually. There's a thread in the Smiley Smilers Who Make Music forum where we were discussing the lyrics and chords, and my opinion on that was the whole thing sounds like either Gershwin changes or Wilson-as-Gershwin changes, with that one little bit being the least Gershwin-like. Not to say BW didn't do other parts in that style to fit the piece, which is entirely possible. But the chords are pretty much typical of that sort of pop music.
Actually, that "gliding" little riff is pure Gershwin. It's the least musically changed part of the whole song.
the captain:
The reason I was wondering about it was that it so minimizes the actual chords and features just the two-part harmony. With the fuller chords seemingly a second inversion Ab and second inversion Bb7 back and forth (second inversion meaning 5th of the chord on the bottom, for non-musicians)--not to mention "till we found the inner light"--it struck me as not especially typical of the time. But as I said in my initial discussion of it (in the other thread), I'm just guessing.
Don_Zabu:
When it comes to singing, in the recent past, Brian seemed to prefer getting the notes out as quickly as possible, but now he's actually savoring and holding them like he would when he was young.
