Title: Songs You've Been Able To Relate To At One Point Or Another
Post by: Freddie French-Pounce on June 23, 2012, 03:34:58 AM
We all know a good portion of The Beach Boys best output has been a collection of music that is very personal to Brian, often filled with emotions and other things that, as human beings, a large number of us also feel. That being said, are there any Beach Boys Songs - Band or Solo - that at one point or another you have been able to closely relate to?

When I Grow Up (To Be A Man)

The first line of Heroes & Villains resonates with me, although the rest doesn't obviously.

Please Let Me Wonder.

during a breakup, I curl up into a Pet Sounds cocoon and shuddering sobs continue for weeks. I guess I can relate!

Other than that, yeah -- mark me down as a Heroes and Villains character.

I'm yet to actually get into that position, but I'm sure Sloop John B. helped  ;D

Exactly the same here - problem is a certain someone dislikes The Beach Boys, so, y'know, it can't be used to full effect. Sending lyrics still had an good effect anyway.

The New Girl In School. I don't care, it's still at the top of the songs I relate to.

"Girl Don't Tell Me"....you go on summer vacation, you meet a girl, you fall in love, you go back to school, she goes back to school, she never writes....that's happened to me. It's depressing at the time but years later becomes a fond memory. Can't explain why.

That's Not Me - when I moved away from home to university.

Busy Doin' Nothin' - as a student I spend most of my time doing just that.

Kiss Me, Baby

That's Not Me is a big one. (There are, apparently, 14 others.)

The most is probably "I'm Waiting For The Day"; a very romantic and wistful sentiment.

Then, in turns "You Still Believe In Me", or basically anything from PS.

"All Summer Long" (very evocative of being a kid in the summer)
"Love Surrounds Me" (if I'm in a downer mood),
"Disney Girls" (though 30 years too old for me)
