Title: Being with the one you love
Post by: Rocker on January 22, 2006, 03:46:57 PM
After someone mentioned this song on the Blueboard, I listened to it for the first time in some months and man, what a fucking great song !! Why was that released only as a b-site (I think) ?  And the a-capella part "in a private space" sounds like something from Orange Crate Art to me, but I don't remember hat...

I totally agree. This song moves me more than any other BW solo track. Amazing song. A lot better with that lyric than it's original form, "Doin' Time On Planet Earth".

Did Andy have a hand in that track?

That's another of his solo songs that I should have put in my list. I actually wouldn't mind hearing Brian redo that song with his current band, the a capella part that was mentioned (with better voices) sounds very 4 Freshmen-like, a side of Brian's musicality that I really do miss.

Agreed, this is a good one.  Actually a lot of those Gary Usher tracks from the Brian Wilson Project are excellent, and deserve to be given wider exposure:  I'm thinking of "Heavenly Bodies", "Turning Point" and "Magnetic Attraction" offhand.

Yep, and the great Black Widow too. I can't believe that the worst song from that collaboration, Walkin' The Line, is the one that was used.

I actually heard 'doing time on planet earth' before the re-write, and the melody helped get me thru many a dark day. Brian's melodies are heaven sent, and a sheer joy to listen to...

Turning Point (real title: So Long) morphed into GIOMH's "You Touched Me"

Agreed, agreed.  And "Black Widow" has got to be THE unreleased tune with the most potential, that I can think of at the moment anyway.

First post here at the new digs.  Nice to be back.
