... it's like he spilled out all of his pain onto vinyl - and it's not just Pet Sounds - it's The Warmth of the Sun, The Lonely Sea, In my room, 'til I Die, Surf's up etc.
I'm just glad that I get it - there are so many people out there who STILL think the BB/BW are silly, nothing deep there
just surf and car songs - Aren't we blessed - that we get it? I know I am
I know what you mean, but I think yu are going alittle over the top with the pain being poured out onto vinyl thing.
The best stuff (IMO) Brian did were the songs that make you happy and glad to be alive... The songs that have a certain spiritual uplift to them. Kiss Me Baby, is one of many many many BB songs that does that for me. I love songs about forgiveness. Even if you removed the lyrics to Kiss Me Baby, you would still get that same feeling for unconditional love from the music.
I admit also, the only two Beatles albums that brought a tear to my eyes were Let It Be... Naked (Sorry John Stebbins, I think the production is so much better than what Phil did) and the new Love album. The ending of Love is so fabulous I get chills and a lump in my throat every time I hear it. Besides, for my money, In My Life is as great and emotionally poingant a song as any Brian ever did, me thinks.
