I Know There's An Answer is one of my favorite songs off Pet Sounds. Even though I prefer the lyrics of Hang On To Your Ego (Not a cop out) and also Brian's vocal delivery.
Anyways, I like the original version, but I also like Take 2, in which the woodwind phrases at the end of the final version are throughout the whole song. So I combined Take 2 with the vocal only track from the box. Just cutting and pasting doesn't work, but pasting each vocal section on top of its corresponding part of the song does. The rythm is a bit off in some spots, but it works surprisingly well. Never fault the wrecking crew for lack of consistency. After the first jazzy instrumental break the rest of the song is the final version. So I've virtually only changed the backing track of the first half of the song. I think Brian might've removed the woodwind section because it got in the way of the vocals, but I think it sounds nice. What do you guys think?
Call it revisionism or sacrilege but its here if you want to listen to it:
