Wonderful

[Bill Tobelman]

Maybe the "mamama" bit was meant at the beginning of "Wonderful" to connect it after "Cabinessence."

That's possible.  I've never been able to place that section anywhere that would make sense, especially in the context of "Wonderful".

What do you mean by the "mamama" bit?

Will I be able to find it on the ProjectSMiLE CD?

I love the versions of Wonderful on the unsurpassed masters vol 18 boot - they are Smiley outtakes. They're really minimal: the first track is just 1 piano (harpsichord) playing the melody, and because it's so minimal you really get to appreciate the beauty of the chords. Then by track 3 (I think) the vocals are introduced - it's so beautiful. Also as it's the smiley version it also veers off into the variation on the bicycle rider theme. Gradually as the tracks builds they add weird tinkly bells, a recorder(?), a random base drum. It's all so gorgeous. Unfortunately for me, I find something has been lost in the final polished album track of Wonderful. I don't know what it is, but I much prefer these earlier manifestations of the song.
