I'll never be able to look at that song in the same way.

"Dave Marsh theorized that it was about the anxiety that precedes the first night of sex."
Nah, that was Born to Run.

From a 2006 interview I did with Al, talking about the lead-up to the 'Pet Sounds' sessions:
"We were just in a touring mode almost constantly up to that point. We'd just come back from Japan and it was a total revelation to us. I mean, we hadn't heard anything like that, other than like, you know, like 'Let Him Run Wild' was kind of in that vain, in that vernacular. If you remember that one, I loved that one. And when I heard these other songs I went 'Well, that's an exponential leap (laughs).'"

I always thought the song LHRW, was about Dennis.............
I was just thinking the same thing last night and was about to start a thread about it, when I thought to search instead (don't want to be tagged indolent!) and found all of these posts about the subject here being Murray. The reason I had guessed it might be about Dennis is that I had recently read a quote attributed to Brian about how the Rovell sisters were attracted to his brothers while he was attracted to them and waited for them to come around. The line "I waited for you girl" seems to fit Brian's approach here and of course, the line "let him run wild" could fit Dennis, although I certainly have no reason to believe he and Marilyn were ever involved. But then, I had to wonder why Brian was apparently adamant about keeping such a great song off of the 1993 GV box set. Seems a bit extreme that it's just about his vocal performance. Could it be that he felt guilty about expressing such a sentiment in a lyric about his brother in light of Dennis' tragic end? All wild speculation, of course. In any case, it certainly is one of my absolute favorites. Chills up the spine for sure! |

Oh my God...all this time I thought I was the only one who hates Salt Lake City...
I think that use of the phrase "out of sight" is the best ever and as a young guy I'm employing it now, and the other dig it! Its their last really immature song lyricwise, until Dr.Love took the reigns again that is... |

The track and harmonies are prime BW, though. So I can still listen to it. I don't really mind the cheesy songs on that record, actually. Girl From New York City kicks like a mule.

I love Salt Lake City...great singing...great production...and it was so good to hear Brian do it live during the TLOS tour I think...might be a good 'un for the 50th tour.

Brian did Salt Lake City when I saw him last summer. Put a huge grin on my face.
Wish he'd played Let Him Run Wild too.

The song was actually going to be used as the title and theme of Born Free and was going to be called Let Her Run Wild but Brian balked on doing a re-recording when he found out the film involved lions which he described as the "sharks of the desert" after dropping his third batch of acid for the evening.  |

I'm not Ghost. I looked up some of his posts out of curiosity and he's far more creative than I could ever aspire to be.  |

Come on, my posts are simply cheap jokes that someone can scoff at (or laugh at) and continue on. That Ghost guy was concocting eloquent phrases of spirituality, randomness and suicidal thoughts. I am amused greatly by the posts of his I found in the search, but it's an entirely different schtick.

I find OSD's dislike and cynical ideas of Mike after watching him ham it up for decades at concerts funny.  |

Let Him run Wild is a good synopsis of Brian's career, and his talent. Equal parts genius, and over the top crazy.

I have a very special life-long bond with this particular song. When I was only 7 years old, my brother brought home the single "California Girls/Let Him Run Wild", and I always played both sides of 45s because from infancy I was a huge lover of all things musical.
I was absolutely stunned by "Let Him Run Wild", and played it over and over again. I thought it was one of the most amazing pieces of music I'd ever heard. And now, almost 50 years later, I still feel that it is one of the most amazing pop records of its time, and perhaps of all time.
