Interesting that the Track list does not include "Waves of Love," even though it was reported earlier, I wonder if Carl is on the album anywhere.

God must’ve smiled the day Brian Wilson was born!
"ragegasm" - /rāj • ga-zəm/ : a logical mental response produced when your favorite band becomes remotely associated with the bro-country genre.
Ever want to hear some Beach Boys songs mashed up together like The Beatles' 'LOVE' album? Check out my mix!

Sorry if I missed it, but have we determined which piece of John Barry music the chorus resembles?
It must be the same music that Ray Davies copped a bit of for the Kinks' song "A Face In The Crowd" (1974)...which I was just listening to a day or so back! Anyway, the descending chords have a sad elegance that give the song a nice, mature feel. It's a mainstream ballad without being obnoxiously so. If it resembles anything from the Beach Boys' own catalog, I'd say it recalls "Keep An Eye On Summer".
EDIT: O.K. - thanks to another thread, I realize the chorus is a lift from John Barry's theme score for the James Bond film "You Only Live Twice". No problem for me, that's a great piece of music to "borrow"!
I wouldn't say it's a lift from "YOLT", since the descending riff in THAT song has more movement of notes melody-wise. But to me, it instantly reminded me of something I couldn't quite place at first, but occurred to me awhile later...Danny Kirwan's instrumental "Sunny Side Of Heaven" from Fleetwood Mac's "Bare Trees" album. Then, the first few notes of the verse remind me of "Your Summer Dream".

Wow! Thanks for this! It's really informative, just what we needed!
Am I looking into the "additional EUR dates" bit too much, or could this be the UK? Please?!
If so, I am going to save all my wedding money and spend it on tickets!
I doubt it, from everything we've heard. However, even so it still could be good news for some of us. If they do a show in Amsterdam, for example, that's actually both closer, and cheaper to get to, from Manchester, where I live, than London is. Popping over on a budget airline would be cheaper than getting a train or driving from say Glasgow or Birmingham to London (or vice versa). Even though I'm going to two shows in Italy already, I'll definitely consider any other European dates that are announced...

Amazon is still showing a release date of tomorrow, 4/26, for the download single. Not sure why it says today. I don’t have access to iTunes at the moment, so I’m not sure if it’s already there.
The QVC thing is interesting. I’m wondering if the 5/16 date for availability of the album through QVC is just in referencing to being able to order it rather than it actually shipping to customers on 5/16.

It sounds like the Beach Boys worked on it. A few interviews seemed to suggest the song was going to be on the album, while other interviews were more non-committal in terms of what might make the tracklisting.
Perhaps we’ll still see “Waves of Love”, Bruce’s remake of “She Believes in Love Again”, and other items on a “Deluxe” edition or as retailer-exclusive bonus tracks.

Andrew, I am really hoping that we are included in these new dates. For more to be announced and the UK still to miss out, well, then there would be an outcry! I will be looking for more information on this every day, so hopefully some announcements are close.

You're welcome everybody : ) : ) : )
Oh, in reply to whoever posted about John Barry earlier in the thread - the chorus of "That's Why God...." resembles the main theme to "You Only Live Twice" and also Barry's "Midnight Cowboy" theme. The former, Robbie Williams sampled in his hit "Millenium."

Maybe it gets released 12 AM PST?? What time do places like iTunes usually start selling new music?

What should I do ? I hope we can get the boys back high on the charts in the U.S. When I buy the single on amazon.com but am living in Germany, will it count as U.S.- sale ?

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.
