Title: Pete Yorn song "Murray" [sic] Post by: Amy B. on January 02, 2012, 08:22:11 PM The Pete Yorn song "Murray" (spelled like that) came up on my iPod. I had forgotten all about it, but clearly it's about Brian. The lyrics seem to perpetuate the idea that the BBs (specifically Carl and Dennis) abandoned their support for Brian during Smile. Any thoughts?
The lyrics are here: http://www.elyrics.net/read/p/pete-yorn-lyrics/murray-lyrics.html Sample: I know a man who lives under his covers uh uh uh uh uh uh Lost his mind from the TV Now he’s playing God And somebody told him that he was no good at uh uh uh uh uh uh He’s talking out of the left side of his mouth And he won’t follow These lines he’s drawn for him And he don’t want to try Seeing is believing Lord knows what he sees here every night Title: Re: Pete Yorn song Post by: Magic Transistor Radio on January 03, 2012, 05:56:54 AM I had never heard the song, but I was under the impression that Carl and Dennis were Brian's biggest supporters for SMiLE.

Yeah, I agree. Interesting how so many songwriters have written about Brian. The part I was talking about (about Dennis and Carl), from http://www.elyrics.net/read/p/pete-yorn-lyrics/murray-lyrics.html: Three little boys dress up in the morning uh uh uh uh uh uh Come back home from the school yard Talkin’ bout Love But on this occasion the boys feel the same uh uh uh uh uh uh Something’s holding them back there I bet it was their mom And they won’t follow These lines he’s drawn for them Cause they don’t want to try Seeing is believing Lord knows what they see here every night Title: Re: Pete Yorn song Post by: Magic Transistor Radio on January 03, 2012, 08:51:47 PM Are you sure it doesn't mean that they (Brian, Dennis, Carl) don't want to follow the lines that he (Murray) set for them?
