Probably posted before, but this track is such a beautiful nod towards Brian and the Pet Sounds album. Lovely vocals and instrumentation (notice the bass harmonica for example). Title: Re: REM - At My Most Beautiful Post by: 37!ws on February 13, 2020, 04:45:06 AM This is a stunning track.
And while you're at it, you might as well enjoy the other obvious Brian tribute from Athens, Georgia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBKXt9yYUzg Title: Re: REM - At My Most Beautiful Post by: Amy B. on February 13, 2020, 06:43:36 AM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIXs66BPooY Probably posted before, but this track is such a beautiful nod towards Brian and the Pet Sounds album. Lovely vocals and instrumentation (notice the bass harmonica for example). I love that song, and always thought (though this is a different topic) the album it's on, Up, is underrated. Title: Re: REM - At My Most Beautiful Post by: Needleinthehay on February 13, 2020, 05:22:44 PM I read in an interview that Michael Stipe used the word "smile" as a reference to smile...and they put the cello triplets at the end to sound like good vibrations and the bells and stuff to sound like pet sounds and chord inversions to sound like the beach boys too....apparently stipe isnt a beach boys fan but the other guys are huge fans....i believe mills or buck wrote liner notes for....sunflower? or some other album.

I think Peter Buck wrote the liners for Love You.

Lovely vocals and instrumentation (notice the bass harmonica for example). That is a great song, thank you! As soon as I heard those drums, I could hear "God Only Knows". The vocal harmonies are very pretty. Adding it to my playlist. Thanks again!

Haven't listened to it for ages though. Title: Re: REM - At My Most Beautiful Post by: Tidepool Interlude on February 19, 2020, 01:30:52 AM What about the Around The World with Willy Fogg cartoon?

An old band of mine recorded a Beach Boys parody to that Willy Fog tune called '80 Dates Around The World'. It was around the the time of the 2012 tour. I'm glad someone else noticed the similarity. |
