Title: Does TLOS have songs that could be hit singles?
Post by: shelter on September 01, 2008, 12:17:06 AM
I think it wouldn't be impossible for "Good Kind of Love" to be a hit single... I can see it happening.

Oh, and does anyone else think it sounds like the perfect theme song for one of those romantic comedies (the type that almost always seem to feature Hugh Grant)? Not sure if that's a good thing though...  ;D

Although I love the whole album, I don't see a potential hit single.  Radio has never been kind to Brian, his sole top 40 hit being Caroline No right before the release of Pet Sounds.  As great as TLOS is, I don't think this is going to be an exception.

That being said, I think that I read that "Goin Home" was going to be the single and that Brian was going to perform it on a couple of TV shows.

The BWPS-versions of "Wonderful" and "Good Vibrations" were Top 40 hits in the UK (#29 and #30).

Unfortunately, no I don't think so.  Brian doesn't really fit anywhere in radio anymore, although I suppose I could hear "Midnight's Another Day" on an easy-listening type station.

 I think it is too together to split the songs up really.

Yep, that about says it.

Though I heard 'Going Home' one the radio this morning, which was very cool.
