That part on Smile when someone sings "Geronimo leaps and bounds over the dustbowl"

What does it mean?

The outro of Sweet Mountain by American Spring

the best part is when Brian sings "well it rained on the mountain, the mountain of love"
It's so subtle because his voice was just starting to change (he almost sounds like on the Mt.Vernon EP, same croaky voice, beautiful for this song!)

Amazing! Are there any more moments like this with Brian on The American Spring album? Love to hear his voice in this period.

Brian on why he loves God Only Knows: "Because Paul McCartney said it was his favourite song"

"New rule: Having anything to do with the creation of a punk rawk version of "All You Need Is Love" (never with the horn part because lol hornz are silly and dumb) gets you the death penalty. No questions, no trial, it's your fault, pick out your coffin." - runnersdialzero

I gotta say: it's been very hard to get the chorus of TWGMTR out of my head.

It felt kinda slight at first, but damn, it truly gets under my skin. And makes me think good thoughts.

Pet Sounds, mind you, didn't grab me out of the gate either--some things take time. Often, the good things in particular.

"My love is burnin' brightly
My moon and stars shine nightly"

The harmonies on those line are just amazing.  I have listened to this song about 20 times today.

It's hot in LA this week, and Dennis' 'Bambu' is my soundtrack.

Tonight, the moment I can't let go of is from Cocktail--the part that builds to the crescendo where Dennis sings "why...won't you say you love me? Oh, oh no..."

That album overwhelms me today--it's the kind of thing that forces me to admit that there's nothing coming out today that can do this kind of thing to me. It's joyous and crushing at the same time.

The bass on I'll Bet He's Nice. Listening to the vinyl, with a subwoofer boosting the bass lines, it sounds incredible. The production really comes into its own on the 2nd side I think. Just sparse and beautiful - the little staccato punches of drums and synth  Brian's Trip

The Brian piano demo of "I'll Bet He's Nice" in which Mike loses his Gosh Darn mind over how good it is. You listen to it and realize if you were there, you'd be exclaiming in the exact same manner because it's so good. So cool to hear.

I'm gonna now say the part of "Shelter" that goes:
Do you still ever think of me/and the way that we used to be/when the world was just you and me/hanging out in our shelter

This just kills me. This conjures up the same exact transcendent vibe as "Don't Worry Baby", "When I Grow Up to Be a Man", and maybe "Let Him Run Wild" but with a middleaged bittersweetness that is so incredibly true. What a perfect little section.

... as posted in another thread, this song broke me like no other Beach Boys song ever did before.

That final word... Gut-wrenching in a way I thought only Dennis Wilson knew how to wrench. Cataclysmic, no-return stuff. Very hard to take.

God must’ve smiled the day Brian Wilson was born!

"ragegasm" - /rāj • ga-zəm/ : a logical mental response produced when your favorite band becomes remotely associated with the bro-country genre.

Ever want to hear some Beach Boys songs mashed up together like The Beatles' 'LOVE' album? Check out my mix!

The bridge of Cuddle Up.  I had never heard this song until today and as I was playing through the album on my way to work, I wasn't really paying attention to the song much until the strings and piano in the bridge started playing.  My eyes welled up and I was floored.  Now I am listening on my good home system, and it's really amazing.  This is the first Dennis song that I 'get'.

Hell yes, that's a fantastic track. That was my gateway drug into the world of Dennis, along with, strangely, the "Barbara" demo(s).

I hadn't listened to Dennis' "Tug Of Love" much before. As soon as I pressed play, those first chords - right up to where Dennis starts singing, I could have sworn I was listening to a Cocteau Twins track. But what kills me is the juxtaposition of a Mike Love-style bass vocal line in the chorus, cutting right in on the pre-shoegaze vibe. And then that part just before the fade!

The bridge of the studio version of Love and Mercy after the pause.  The vocals there are so wonderful.  It's like the bridge of The Whole World, but slowed down.

Two instrumental segments always kick my ass. 1st, the middle section on "here today"leading up to where Brian says "top" and the organ segment right after. Also love the middle section on "leaving this town." Very heady
