Title: Dennis Wilson "You & I" Post by: Newguy562 on June 26, 2012, 08:28:43 PM Do any of you guys like this song? I never see anyone bring it up :/ it's beautiful ..has a nice R&B feel to it...besides "Forever" & "Be With Me" it's probably the best Dennis composition...
His voice is a little rusty but the beat and the chorus makes up for it..I'm suprised it didn't chart well. :/ Title: Re: Dennis Wilson \ Post by: Bud Shaver on June 26, 2012, 08:41:16 PM I love this song. Nice use of woodwinds in the chorus that give it a touch of late 60s BBs.
Title: Re: Dennis Wilson \ Post by: Sheriff John Stone on June 26, 2012, 09:19:49 PM Yeah, it's great! Very pictorial. I always have a mental picture of Dennis and Karen walking outdoors when I listen to the song. "You open up my wallet and dust falls out, that's alright with me..." is one of my favorite lines on the album.
Title: Re: Dennis Wilson Post by: Sound of Free on June 26, 2012, 09:43:12 PM I like the song, but I think "Rainbows" would have been a better choice for a single.

Title: Re: Dennis Wilson \ Post by: rogerlancelot on June 26, 2012, 11:24:41 PM Honestly, there isn't a Dennis Wilson composition that I don't already love. Maybe I'm not so crazy about "It's A New Day" but that one sounds kind of dated and Blondie has a hell of a time hitting those high notes. But other than that one song.....

Title: Re: Dennis Wilson \ Post by: Disney Boy (1985) on June 27, 2012, 12:20:29 AM It's one of my favourite POB songs, alongside River Song and Moonshine. Dennis always delivered the goods.

I think You & I and He's A Bum sum up Dennis as a person well. :)Title: Re: Dennis Wilson \ Post by: MBE on June 27, 2012, 01:46:37 AM It's funny but the three record set has this track mixed a lot better than on my original. It really opened me up to the song.
Title: Re: Dennis Wilson \ Post by: D409 on June 27, 2012, 01:48:49 AM Love this song, drips with emotion.

Sould've been on a single (if it wasn't).

His voice is a little rusty but the beat and the chorus makes up for it..I'm suprised it didn't chart well. No R'n'B, it's Bossa-nova. Really wonderful. I think this is a tune that his rusty voice was perfect for. David also did it with Billy Hinsche and Dennis' grandson at the landmark ceremony Title: Re: Dennis Wilson \ Post by: oldsurferdude on June 27, 2012, 08:19:01 AM It's the creme of the puff-best thing on the album. Love some of his other tarts as well-San Miguel, Fallin' In Love, SOT, IAT, S(Holland).

I'd love to hear him sing it live at a BB reunion show, in tribute to Dennis.

I'd love to hear him sing it live at a BB reunion show, in tribute to Dennis. Yeah. And I'd like to see Dennis live again, but It's pretty doubtful either is going to happen Title: Re: Dennis Wilson \ Post by: Cabinessenceking on June 27, 2012, 10:52:49 AM This song is perhaps the easiest to introduce new people to the wonderful music that is Dennis Wilson. Great song, one of the best he made, and certainly among the best on POB!

I'd love to hear him sing it live at a BB reunion show, in tribute to Dennis. Even though 'Forever' is one of his more famous ones, it is far beyond his best. Something from POB/Bambu woulda been better. But it is a Beach Boys reunion after all I guess.... Title: Re: Dennis Wilson \ Post by: jet without wings on June 27, 2012, 02:16:26 PM You and I, Pacific Ocean Blues and rainbows are in my opinion the three best songs on the record. always preferred side two back in the day listening to this LP.
"you open up my wallet and dust falls out" love that lyric. jet without wings |
