I was just wondering if you had any Beach Boys or solo songs (meaning Carl, Dennis, or Brian), that made you cry?
Mine is "Baby blue" by Dennis.
The demo when those slightly off key flutes come in or whatever they are makes me start to lose it.

I suppose it's stupid on the surface, I don't know.
 I'm not so sure it's the song, just the instrumental break that allows me to think of stuff with a wide open mind leaves me open to any emotion there is.  You know what I mean?
Anyway, I'm rambling.  It's your turn.

Interesting.
I love those songs, but they do nothing for me.

'I Wish for You' by Beckley-Lamm-Wilson is the only one.

Haha!  LOL

"Lay Down Burden" almost every time! And, depending on the circumstance, "'Till I Die."

This. And also "Like a Brother" from the same album, gets me every time.

Also "Cuddle Up", "Lay Down Burden", "Midnight's Another Day" and occasionally "Fairytale" and "Don't Let Her Know She's an Angel" (there MUST be other GIOMH-lovers out there!)

Same here. I listened to those non-stop during the summer between junior and senior year, which was immediately after a girl I had fallen madly in love with rejected me. They gave me something I could connect to; a sense that there was someone who understood.

"Midnight's Another Day" just floored me when I first heard the demo (still the definitive version), and when Brian first sang it live at the RFH I couldn't hold back the tears.

"Thoughts Of You" has a similar effect on me.

As does "Wrinkles", albeit for entirely different reasons.

Definitely... "Thoughts Of You"

Also..."Kiss Me Baby"...that song just turns me into jello.

Surf's Up often gets me all choked up.  I wasn't too tough to cry when I heard the new mix on disc 1 for the first time.

I'm with you on Gettin' In Over My Head! Despite some of the criticisms, to me it sounded like the first Brian-produced album since Love You. Never cried to it, but "Fairytale" is an absolute favorite of mine.

On first hearing 'God Only Knows' in stereo.

The harp/guitar "The river's deep and the river's so wide..." part of 'Rio Grande'. It reminds me of a gorgeous time/woman in my life in '88.  Love

'Baby Blue'... Carl's wooo-ooo-wooo behind Dennis singing "I dream of you...".

Absolutely.  The "feels so alooooooone" lyric with the band's crescendo really pulls out the emotions for me too.

All roads lead to Kokomo. Exhaustive research in time travel has conclusively proven that there is no alternate universe WITHOUT Kokomo. It would've happened regardless.
