A bunch of us SmileySmilers recorded a cover of Add Some Music. Take a listen!

We're getting the ball rolling over on the Musicians' Forum: http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,13804.0.html

I want to also thank Mr. Spengler for his role in all of this. Besides doing the essential (sometimes grinding) tasks of producing and performing, he also provided all the vocal charts (transcribed by ear, is that right?) and early mixes we needed to blend our parts, both of which were completely indispensable. Some excellent coordination and production was a big key in making this work.

Couldn't agree more. I can't imagine trying to set all this up....figuring out who should sing what, etc. I'm grateful to have been asked to be apart of it! It really turned out great.

Thanks again to everyone who listened!

Many thanks for the props guys, but all the charts and mixing in the world wouldn't have mattered without your tremendous vocals and attention to detail. This could have fallen apart very easily, but you all just hit it out of the ballpark from the start.

[Wrightfan]

Amazing!

[egon spengler]

Wow! That was something! What a creative idea to sing together but live in different continents! The vocals are just amazing!!! I like all of them! I'll even say that "Bruce" vocals are far better than on the BBs original. Also, the guitar sounds very beautiful, it resembles a bit harpsichord. I noticed that you didn't change the key, right? It's good that you all slightly changed the musical phrasings of the BBs vocals, not just copied note-for-note but added your own styles.

Honestly, your joyful cover really made my day! I'll definitely choose it as a ringtone to my cellphone & shall look forward to another songs/covers from you, folks! You're all very talented! Now I must say I give your work 10 out of 10.

Btw, ASMTYD is in my Top-10 of The Beach Boys catalog.  

I've admired the crazy talented folks over on the "Smiley Smilers Who Make Music" board for years, so I asked six of them to collaborate on a cover of Add Some Music To Your Day.  They all were awesome enough to help out, so we split the leads and background vocals up betwen the seven of us (seltaeb1012002, Austin, rab2591, me, dmcguire70, JMZ, and FatherOfTheMan).  They each recorded their parts separately (from three continents!), and I pieced them together on my end. The result is pretty spectacular.. check out the "full band" version (followed by an acapella version) here:

Egon, I just have to say....

Hearing this song, this song above all others, done so lovingly, and SO VERY expertly, well it's just enough to bring tears to my eyes.  It's simply marvelous.  I've listened 3 times already.

Well, of course you did much more than "justice" to all the parts.  All the the parts are splendid.  It's simply glorious in every way.

You're going to need to consider a commercial market for this, maybe?  ITunes or CDBaby?

Thanks for providing the tags to show who sang what part.

I look forward to your progress on the other thread.  A friend of mine and I are trying something similar, but we've not gotten too far.

NICELY done!  WOW!  This made my day!

-- David

thanks to you both (and everyone else!) for all the great feedback and praise.. I've said it before, but seltaeb, Austin, rab, dmcguire, Mike, and JMZ deserve as much credit as anyone--never in a million years could this have been done without them!

Me too!

I know----this topic has not been posted in for at least 120 days, haha.

I just heard this on YouTube. I'm not a member so I shall thank Zach and company here instead. And I've linked it at "my" board. This has to be one of the best BB covers ever.

[Mike's Beard]

Wonderful stuff guys. dmcguire70 should apply for a job in Brian's band, he nails the classic Brian falsetto!

[Andrew G. Doe]

Now, I seldom comment on this kind of thing because it's equally seldom that I like what I'm listening to. But this... this is stunningly good, and not just vocally. A large bowl of kudos to share around. 

[Cool Cool Water]

Excellent cover guys! The vocal and mix is awesome, well done!

[Beachlad]

Awesome sounds great.  Just got a new pair of head phones and really haven't had a chance to break them out. <amazing what a good pair of neutral  headphones do>

[Lee Marshall]

As I have been a member here for less than a year...THIS is brand spankin' NEW to me.  Outstandingly GrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrREAT.  I can now lay claim to having one of the coolist user-names here...thanks in A B I G way to these guys.

I only wish there was more.  Way impressive.

[Juice Brohnston]

Great job guys! Any chance you could cover Wrinkles next?

[JK]

As I have been a member here for less than a year...THIS is brand spankin' NEW to me. 

Exactly----a prime example of why it can pay to dig up old threads. Long live the old threads! 

[Andrew G. Doe]

Meet the new thread/Same as the old thread. 

[elnombre]

Absolutely superb. Heartwarming too. Anyone posted it to Mike's FB, Brian's board etc. yet? The guys need to hear this.

And please count me in for next time around too. Doubly so if you go for Elsewhere Near Japan.
