Title: TLOS/Smile (very) small connection
Post by: Barnshine on October 27, 2011, 08:26:46 AM
In the end of TLOS there's the hidden "roll around heaven" piece, right?
Now, the first time I heard it I thought that it sounds very much like Cool, Cool Water in tempo, rhythm and chord changes.
It starts the same as Dada/Cool Water and but then changes into a standard II-V-I.
Wasn't this piece called All Day in live performances? http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php?topic=7480.0
And isn't All Day an ancestor of Dada/Cool Water? Is there a real connection, or am I looking too much into this?  :lol

I think you're reading too much into it. Coincidence.

That's what I thought, but it's still a funny coincidence. The arrangement, tempo and changes of TLOS All Day are very, very similiar to those of Cool, Cool Water. I wonder if Brian even remembers what the original "All Day" (among with other Smile bits) was supposed to become (probably not  :-\)
