Title: New Brian Wilson Songs Discovered on BMI's Website Post by: ForHerCryingSoul on March 10, 2019, 11:13:13 PM Hey y'all,
In my pursuit of securing copyrights for the songs in Sweet Insanity, I ended up in BMI's website, and discovered many song titles of songs written at least partially by Brian Wilson that I had never heard before, and perhaps will never see the light of day. Under GLVD Publishing, along with all the Sweet Insanity songs, I get interesting titles such as: Rings Talkman Talkman Terri She Needs Me Walking on Water Music in My Head No One Ever Says No Gidget Hey Mr Space Cadet And many more weird, fascinating titles. I encourage a look at this website. It feels like I discovered some more "Bedroom Tapes" although these are from the '80s I think, the titles are sure just as weird... Under Beach Bum Music I get all of these, along with some other songs from Brian Wilson '88, and some remnants of Pet Sounds Outtakes (Hang on to Your Ego Instrumental). Something interesting is a lot of these songs were written or at least copyrighted with David W Foster, is he someone famous? Did I uncover something new in Brian's catalogue? I'd like to think so, but who knows... Any thoughts on this? Also I will keep you guys updated on the Sweet Insanity Sheet Music, I just finished an SATB+Piano reduction of Water Builds Up. Concert Tonight is getting reworked as well. Sorry for the rambling, hope someone found this interesting!

http://www.fozfan.com/2007/05/20/fairy-tale/ The site also gives an overview of Foster’s career. Title: Re: New Brian Wilson Songs Discovered on BMI's Website Post by: Wata on March 11, 2019, 01:53:56 AM I'm afraid there are some tracks on your list that already circulate in some form:
"Terri, She Needs Me" was uploaded by Brian's official instagram account last month: https://www.instagram.com/p/BuGzm-_n_Nf/ (https://www.instagram.com/p/BuGzm-_n_Nf/) "Rings", if I recall correctly, was on one of Andy Paley bootleg somehow, and is uploaded on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwDwv_Mppxs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwDwv_Mppxs) Same goes for "Walking On Water": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MV2yaMbhQw (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MV2yaMbhQw) Title: Re: New Brian Wilson Songs Discovered on BMI's Website Post by: Wata on March 11, 2019, 02:00:05 AM Not to derail your thread, but there is also a list of Brian songs from Landy era, apparently from the Library of Congress copyright records, posted on this forum years ago: http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php?topic=4645.0 (http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php?topic=4645.0)
It's an utterly fascinating and intriguing list, for sure. Not sure how many more of them we will ever get to hear, though.

Life's Not a Fantasy It's the Ocean and Me Not This Again Number One Robotech Scheme Time Stood Still (With CATONA credit) You're Not the Same And more... I brought up the ones that might be familiar with hardcore fans, but nevertheless, I still find it really interesting. I'll take a look at the Copyright office too. One thing is for sure, if Brian's catalogue ever gets extended box sets, I will be the first one to vouch for these releases.

I remember several years ago looking at BMI, and there seemed like about 50 -80 songs I had never heard of. I think a bunch of things were copyrighted in the early 90s that were all from the Landy period. Title: Re: New Brian Wilson Songs Discovered on BMI's Website Post by: Jay on March 11, 2019, 11:07:49 AM I wonder if "Life's Not A Fantasy" could be an early version of "Bells of Madness"?
Title: Re: New Brian Wilson Songs Discovered on BMI's Website Post by: jiggy22 on March 11, 2019, 12:00:54 PM "Number One" is also known as "Visions", and was released by Rachel and the Revolvers in 1962
