the same man who has all the hardcore fans confused whether its Brian or not on the recording...


Oh, come on!  We all know it was Brian singing the girl's part on "Be Here in the Morning" and the vocals at the end of "A Day in the Life of a Tree," right?

Right?

Hello?

Is this thing on...?

Some are Brian and some Al. Like in 'Be Here in the Morning' Brian sing Ahhh, and Al sings most of the lead. Then on 'Life of a Tree' Al sings "Oh lord I lay me down..." and I believe Brian is singing doo doo doo. But Marylin might be singing some of that.
I don't know. That's just what I think it is.

I was just kidding before, making reference to longstanding debates here on who sang what.

For the record, I accept that it's Al singing lead on "Be Here in the Morning."

But it'll take a time machine and a trip to Brian's home studio in 1971 during the recording session for "A Day in the Life of a Tree" to convince me that it wasn't Brian singing "Oh lord I lay me down..."

Can't manage that, but would the word of someone who's heard the vocal tapes isolated out, voice by voice, and the word of someone who was there at the session, be enough ?

Hint - both of them are called Alan.  Roll Eyes

What about the "A Children's song..." tag at the end of Surf's Up '71?  Brian or Al?  Seems there's some confusion on that one.  The Desper and Carlin books say it's Brian, the record sounds more like Al to me.

That's exactly what I meant when I said Alan "was just as important as the rest of them."  He's there singing the great parts and some never realized it.

That's funny. I'm listening to Surfs Up as we speak. And I think....it's Al.

Im pretty sure it was confirmed that the 'Children's Song...' line in Surf's Up was Alan. Forgot where...

It might have been from those old Rieley posts.

In a way it's kind of sad.  If there were one thing I'd wish it were Brian singing it'd be that one.  Just to prove he wasn't completely finished with that material.

At least we have the 2004 version, where he sings the whole thing!
