Title: foreshadowing (with hindsight)
Post by: sleeptalk on October 07, 2009, 09:49:46 AM
what are some moments in beach boys songs (early or otherwise) that foreshadowed later developments in brian's life, the band and their lives, etc?

i find the entirety of "when i grow up (to be a man)" pretty prophetic now. "i just wasn't made for these times," obviously...

also, mike's little comment in the "bull session" clip to brian is pretty unfortunate in hindsight now: "we all keep waiting for you to make a mistake, brian."  :'(

There must be many.

'I Went To Sleep'

'Til I Die' (metaphorically, that is)

'A Day In The Life Of A Tree'

Brian's Back, the slogan.....How many times have the papers said he's back? in 1980 for KTSA, BW (88), Imagination (Brian's Back, that is Back again)....etc.

I think you are forgetting perhaps the most obvious one... "In My Room"...
