In 1966, what was going to be in the track 'The Elements' on SMiLE?

[Matt Bielewicz]

It is known from interviews you gave in 1966 that you planned a track on the SMiLE album called 'The Elements', and that you wanted it somehow musically to reflect Fire, Air, Earth & Water.

We know something about the Fire part, which you began to record, but nothing certain about the other parts has ever reached the public domain. Can you recall anything of the music you had planned for the Earth, Air and Water parts? Did you ever re-use any of the music in other songs or compositions, and if so, which?

Thanks for all the truly amazing music you've given us over the years. I'm really looking forward to No Pier Pressure!
