On my iTunes, I rearranged the second side of Sunflower. Personally, I thought that Dennis Wilson's "Forever" was too beautiful and epic not to close the album, so I put the second half into three 'movements' ala the Smile Sessions, consisting of two songs each. Here's how it went:
(the string-backed ballads) 7. Tears in the morning 8. Our Sweet love (the experimental tracks) 9. At My Window 10. Cool, Cool Water (The epic romantic songs) 11. All I Wanna Do 12. Forever
I personally think this order makes for a more cohesive listen. With this arrangement, Dennis' magnificent voice opens and closes what is possibly the most beautiful record of 1970.
R.I.P. Dennis Wilson
