Carl's last line in Goin' On. I don't know what it is about it. But every time I hear "Do do do, goin' aaaaahhhhh.../Come by redeemer", it gets me every time.

Do yourself a favor and listen to the last 30 seconds or so of that song with high quality headphones. It's an experience you won't forget.

I love that aspect of Beach Boys songs, if you just wait and really listen you will find masterpieces of aural greatness in just about every song. It's like every piece of music is a journey inside the beauty, the madness and the glory of it all. Who couldn't love The Beach Boys? Essential in this world.

The "Boys & Girls" Heroes vocal riff that ends disc 2 of Hawthorne. Pure vocal sonic bliss.

'When I Grow Up (To Be A Man)' - both the album version and the instrumental. That coda is fucking incredible.

When you get to the line "It only makes it worse to liiiiiiiive without it, but let's taaaaaallk about it" on WIBN (preferably the stereo version), the way Brian's falsetto rises above the rest of the harmonies. It's breathtaking.

Friends. Sounds like each sonic moment is presented against a black velvet background. Such good seperation and layering of the sound. All bleed and distortion controlled. Those melodies against that silent background. BW was not too far off to call this one of his favorites.

'Fun, Fun, Fun' - When Brian sings "You shouldn't've lied now, you shouldn't've lied," in the background.

Right now I'd have to say "Let Him Run Wild" as a whole. If I had to chose one part I'd go with the transition from the verses to the chorus.

'Where I Belong': It's from a largely terrible mid-80's album. Dennis is dead. Brian's mojo is absent. Steve Levine from bloody Culture Club is producing. All the ingredients there for something utterly ghastly...
And I LOVE IT! I cannot stop listening to this song at the moment. At present, it's getting played pretty much very morning before going to work, and every night before going to bed. To me, it ranks up there with Feel Flows, Trader, etc as a truely great Carl song. Love it!!

"Wind Chimes" on SOT vol. 18, track 12 (insert take 2). What was this for? Is there any Smile equivalent? Sounds like it would make a good ending to the track.

The entirety of 'She's Goin' Bald' - I ignored the lyrics and focused on the background singing/instrumentals - it's like a completely different song.
Actually, I'm listening to Smiley Smile at the moment - what an underrated gem.

Yes siiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr The instrumental to California Girls is awesome. It's really powerful. I love when the sax comes in on the second verse.

That instrumental got bumped into my top 5 favorite songs as of late. The wall-of-sound that reverberates in the coda is just incredible. When I crank this song up on my studio headphones nothing else matters for 3+ minutes.
