Title: Which beach boys song give you goosebumps every time you hear it? Post by: Newguy562 on September 25, 2012, 07:09:15 PM Every time I hear the outro of "I'm so young" and "Please let me wonder" it gives me goosebumps..it's amazing how those songs have that effect on me.

Title: Re: Which beach boys song give you goosebumps every time you hear it? Post by: Ziggy Stardust on September 25, 2012, 08:08:58 PM The wordless harmonies in At My Window & beautiful "He caaaame to myyyy wi-indoow" group singing. In general, the whole song is splendid & gives me feeling of happiness every time I hear it, full stop. That! also Our Prayer is somehow always a special moment for me. I agree with petzounds for Don't Worry Baby, there's just something touching about that melody that seriously got me obsessed at some point, the only BB song so far i dared to cover.. 'Til I Die, All This Is That & Surf's Up are the one that had the biggest impact and emotional effect on me upon first listen, that i mean in general, not just as BB songs.

every freaking time. Title: Re: Which beach boys song give you goosebumps every time you hear it? Post by: mathen_ on September 25, 2012, 08:23:47 PM I lot of songs give me chills when listening to, but the most special one for me it's a song properly (though the whole song also affects me deeply), but the "child is father of the man" ending of Surf's Up. Man, that's from another universe, dimension, I don't know. That's just not human.

Man, that's from another universe, dimension, I don't know. That's just not human. Yeah, when i start to rethink "IS Surf's Up the best Beach Boys song?", i listen to it again, and i'm falling in love all over again.. and that part has something to do with it, it's beautiful.

Perhaps the operator can connect you to the ASPCA, Smiley Smile board division... :-\
So many to choose from: Brian's "listen to my HEART....beat" line in "Don't Talk". The backing harmonies in "The Warmth of the Sun." The "baby believe" backing vox in Dennis' "Slip On Through." The way Al delivers the "I guess I gotta way with girls" line in "Honkin' Down the Highway." Carl just raking that lead vocal in "Wild Honey." Mike's incredible performance in "All I Wanna Do" (Sunflower, not 20/20). The totality of "Cabinessence." That cranked to the edge of distortion high fiddle that nails the tag in "Mess of Help to Stand Alone." And those are just some of the more or less obscure ones, not even mentioning all the incandescent moments in the rest of the BB's canon that gets played in the concerts. So many great moments there, of course, but so many more scattered liberally across so many "deep cuts." Title: Re: Which beach boys song give you goosebumps every time you hear it?

Title: Re: Which beach boys song give you goosebumps every time you hear it? Post by: Disney Boy (1985) on September 26, 2012, 12:07:51 AM Agree re Trader - when those backing vocals kick in - wow! Also, the fades to A Day In The Life... and Celebrate The News - they really get the hairs on the back of my neck standing on end! Lady - all of it. Brian's She Knows Me Too Well vocal. And - and i'm sure not everyone is going to agree with me on this - Where I Belong - those harmonies just really do it for me, every time.

Post by: Aegir on September 26, 2012, 12:21:40 AM My relationship with listening to the Beach Boys is any track can jump out at me at any specific moment. I don't have a specific song that always hits me the same way. It's always something new.

Title: Re: Which beach boys song give you goosebumps every time you hear it? Post by: SunBurn on September 26, 2012, 11:02:25 AM Pretty much everything to do with "Don't Talk" on the Pet Sounds Sessions set: particularly the piano demo, the isolated strings and the unused backing vocals. Title: Re: Which beach boys song give you goosebumps every time you hear it?

I have to agree. Got to say i rather think they slightly fumbled the All This Is That fade. The way Carl's vocal is at first upfront and then suddenly it jumps into the background, awkwardly rather than smoothly, it always bugs me. His singing is perfect, but not the production. Title: Re: Which beach boys song give you goosebumps every time you hear it? Post by: buddhahat on September 26, 2012, 11:48:30 AM Pretty much everything to do with "Don't Talk" on the Pet Sounds Sessions set: particularly the piano demo, the isolated strings and the unused backing vocals. I adore that piano demo too. It blew me away when I first heard it, and still does strange things to me know. There's a lot to be said for Brian's demos and backing tracks. I often find them more moving than the fully realised versions. The early Time To Get Alone backing track is also a really mind bending listening experience. It sounds straightforward but it's really achingly beautiful, especially the french horn break. But if we're talking about fully realised songs, add me to the list of those that find Warmth Of The Sun one of the most goosebump enducing. Title: Re: Which beach boys song give you goosebumps every time you hear it? Post by: rogerlancelot on September 26, 2012, 07:24:02 PM It's either "Baby Blue" or "How Can We Still Be Dancing?". I can't remember which one is which.

Title: Re: Which beach boys song give you goosebumps every time you hear it? Post by: Disney Boy (1985) on September 27, 2012, 12:02:38 AM "The sea air...is flowing through my room again..." The last line gets me even more, Jon: ''Silently... silently she touched my face''. I don't think there's a more nakedly emotional song in the entire BB/Wilson catalogue than this.

Gotta agree, Thoughts of You is an amazingly emotional song, although I must admit I prefer the version without the intense middle section, just a pensive Dennis with piano and strings.

Yes!! Christ that just makes me start welling up when I listen to that part. Such a beautiful song. Title: Re: Which beach boys song give you goosebumps every time you hear it? Post by: SufferingFools on September 27, 2012, 06:28:09 AM "Surfer Girl." Basically from beginning to end. That recording is perfect.
There's also a great moment during "In My Room" which I've hardly ever heard them try to do that way in a live performance. It's on the syllable "sigh," what sounds like maybe a whole-tone cluster, but it seems they must have changed the harmonies there later because it was so hard to sing live.

What version is that? Title: Re: Which beach boys song give you goosebumps every time you hear it? Post by: Sheriff John Stone on September 27, 2012, 08:16:10 AM What always gets to me is a well-made radio (or TV) documentary where they cut from a line in an interview directly into the song.
A lot of times this is very effective with Pet Sounds. Brian will say something about the introspective lyrics and they'll cut right into "I've been trying hard to find the people who I won't leave behind...". Or Mike will comment about Brian's perfectionism with the vocals and they'll go right into, "You know it seems the more we talk about it...". Then Carol Kaye or somebody will comment on the instrumentation and they cut right into the opening of "Let's Go Away For Awhile". Sometimes that makes you hear it differently and really appreciate the songs in a different way, just hearing those well-placed snippets. I don't know if that makes sense...

Post by: The Shift on October 01, 2012, 01:40:06 AM PCH followed by Summer's Gone. Never had such a reaction to any piece of music by anyone, let alone the Beach Boys, though to be fair no-one else's music could have moved me in such a way.
That was them saying "We're done. No more music. You can't depend on us anymore, you're on your own." It was also them saying: "didn't expect this did you, you thought we were washed up didn't you. You expected the worst didnt you. Well f*ck you - we're the Beach Boys and we're still as good as you ever remember us being." Hate to say it cos worse things (have) happen(ed) at sea, but I felt bereaved the first time I heard that. Girlfriend came home to find me blubbing.
