Title: Starting off the new year right...with some obscure Beach Boys!

All right, I'm hoping not to get laughed off the forum here...

Anyone interested in hearing a good "Livin' With A Heartache" (Eighties Beach Boys) cover, click here:

Great stuff!

I always wondered what the chords were to LWAH, but could never be bothered to look; now I don't need to  :-D

I particularly liked when the two of you hit what looks like an E7, it sounds like a sample of the original somehow!

Keep up the good work  ;D

EDIT: Just listened to your other BB covers, they're awesome, Disney Girls (1957) is amazing, you really got Bruce's voice for that one!

Thanks for watching!  I'm glad you liked the videos.  They're first and foremost the handiwork of my friend Jim (the one on the left singing lead).

Take care!

While I’m guilty of loving all things Carl just because it’s Carl and I admired him so much, I genuinely like your rendition of the song.

In an interview, Carl said that he and Randy Bachman, co-writer of “Livin’ With a Heartache”, got together back then and wrote five songs in two days.  That's prolific.

Really nice job!
