I don’t know if it’s so much that he was ‘underrated’. More like misunderstood. While the music media were fawning all over Brian as being the genius (which he rightfully deserved), and Carl as being the quiet, cute one with the voice of an angel (which he definitely did have)… Dennis got slapped with the unfortunate “good looking but dumb and talentless one who actually surfs and races cars” image. Sadly, much of the public bought into that. Anyone who’s not just a casual fan or sideline observer knows that this was a fallacy, and knows just how much of a soulful, creative force Dennis actually was.
Deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as The Beach Boys' best. I shall consider it an honour to do what is in my meager power to spread awareness of Dennis' masterpiece.
Oh hell yeah. Also has a better version of "You are so beautiful" One of the most underrated musician ever. He was dubbed the good looking surfer guy whom got all the ladies. More needs to be told about Denny's beautiful song writing and passion when he sings. He was more than just the good looking one. His talent shines through when people get over the other talented Wilson's. Love you Dennis. Rest in Paradise my brother
Dennis pulled this and "4th Of July" from "Surf's Up", so contemporary listeners never got to hear those songs. He wanted this song to follow "'Til I Die" to close out the album.
It's good for sure but was left off purposely (didn't work amidst masterpieces). Not even among his best, which proves how great dw could be in terms of songwriting.
@@cazgerald9471When the “Feel Flows” set came out, I reassembled the Surf’s Up album (in a separate playlist) with this closing out the album, and the result was nothing short of an emotional juggernaut. Works beautifully. It’s a damn shame that wasn’t the way the album was sequenced when it came out in ‘71. Apparently certain band members let their jealousy overcome their judgement, and that was why Dennis decided to pull it.
This reaches a pinnacle his vocal just builds the feeling of the pain and regret, then hope in the belief of a brighter future as one comes to terms with a love lost. It would appear that someone realised they made a mistake one pushing things too far in a relationship. Another was not letting the world hear this a lot earlier. For me it is one of those songs heightens the senses and feelings to place where I enjoy music the best
The Wilson Brothers. So beautiful what a beautiful song. Dennis knocked it out of the park. We miss the full of life drum player, Dennis. Thanks for sharing his song.
Aged 39 when he died, what a shame. It's unbelievable when you think of the Wilson brothers age when they made all these heavenly gifted songs. 👼This is truly sad, great and ineffable. ❤
This is so Dennis. ----------BW , or Carl, could never have------would never have--------------composed anything like this. Dennis was such a unique soul; it's just so tragic he couldn't keep the demons away. ----------------------------------WolfSky9, 72 y/o
man I love the Wilson’s. can you imagine how great it would of been to be with them when they were writing all this music. they were all so talented. this song is hauntingly beautiful. just lingers in your brain
My two pennies: This song is a goddamn masterpiece. Dennis really was an overlooked creative force in the Beach Boys. From what I’ve heard, and let me preface this by being clear that I don’t know if it’s 100% true or not, this song was originally intended to close out side 2 of the “Surf’s Up” album (instead of the song ‘Surf’s Up’), and even though I absolutely love the way that album ends with the 1-2-3 punch of “A Day in the Life of a Tree”, “Til I Die”, and “Surf’s Up”, I’ve put together a playlist with this in place of Surf’s Up and listened to it with that progression, and I’m not going to go so far as to say that I think it’s ‘better’, but at the very least, I’d say with absolute certainty that it’s _just as_ good. According to what I’ve been told, the reason this was pulled from the album (along with the song “4th of July”) was because of ‘certain band members’ complaining that there had already been too many Wilson brother compositions on Sunflower. Is all this gospel truth? Who knows, other than the members of the Beach Boys themselves and those who were part of their inner circle at the time. All I know is that it’s a damn shame this brilliant song didn’t make it on to the album in some manner. The fact that it remained unreleased for several decades is just bizarre.
Simon Edwards - In terms of songwriting, Dennis wrote some beautiful songs, but the best of Dennis is not the best of Brian. In terms of leadership, in terms of studio production, not even close.
One the most touching tributes IMO a of the "Most talented Drummer " EVER! He could do it all, and he had it all! Voice, looks, talent, commutation through humanity at its highest ! Thank you for this!
@@steffanhoffmann8937 All three Wilson brothers had that button. Dennis’ was just a bit more volatile and on the nose. The only thing that stopped Brian from going the same way, for better or worse, was Landy. Carl was much more of an introvert, but he also had his own demons.
That's right. It was Dennis who asked Brian and Mike to write a song about surfing. If he hadn't asked, and they hadn't done it, there would have been no Beach Boys.
There wouldnt have been nearly as successful. Dennis invented the formula of Surfing, Cars and Girls. This was perfect for the time. No doubt the Wilson's were musical no matter what, but at such a crucial time in music history Dennis' idea made them superstars.
I’ve always thought that Student Demonstration Time just didn’t fit on that album. I always skip over it when I listen to Surf’s Up. However this one would have been absolutely perfect for the overall feel of that album. Plus, from what I understand it was originally supposed to be included on the album as the closer at the end of side two, but a certain band member whose name I won’t mention threw a fit that there were already too many songs on the album with someone named Wilson singing lead, so Dennis decided to keep it for himself to be used on a solo album that never materialized. The song “4th of July” was also originally supposed to be on the album.
I wouldve gotten rid of "take care of your feet&student demonstration time" I wouldve put this tune and my love lives on, in their places. This couldve been a hit. He had more talent in his little finger than mike love does in his entire body jmo.
Check out this track listing for the Surf's Up album: SIDE ONE: 1. "Don't Go Near the Water" 2. "Long Promised Road" 3. "Take a Load Off Your Feet" 4. "Disney Girls (1957)" 5. "Surf's Up" SIDE TWO: 1. "Feel Flows" 2. "4th of July" 3. "A Day in the Life of a Tree" 4. "'Til I Die" 5. "(Wouldn't It Be Nice To) Live Again" Man, that is an A+ record right there... Don't get me wrong, I love Surf's Up, but it could have been a truly amazing album.
amazing job on this. Everytime I want h it, I begin to cry, wishing I could've met Dennis. such a soulful man who was taken far too early. nothing like this is sung today.
The truth is that nothing this good is promoted to fame today but some can and do sing ot compose this good in obscurity, with basically no support. The music industry and broader culture and especially elite culture sadly no longer support such quality and heartfelt work within popular music, especially not from stars from such modest and troubled backgrounds as the Wilson Brothers. Even fewer today can sing like this but relatively few could ever actually. Now those that do have basically no support to grow their talents to a broader audience.
You have to wonder if Dennis would have lived longer and ultimately cleaned up like Brian did -- IF -- the "Sunflower" album had been the big seller it should have been. Dennis contributed 3 knockout tracks to that great, team-effort LP, and then when it sank quickly he was largely a non-factor on the following LP, "Surf's Up," which did much better, sales-wise. Sunflower and Pet Sounds -- proof that greatness doesn't always translate to commercial success.
@@burlingtonbill1 This was going to be on Sunflower but Dennis wanted it to close the album, after "Surf's Up" itself, had a beef with Carl about it, and pulled it from the album in a fit of pique. Or so the story goes. Also, around this time the other BBs were very jealous of the music Dennis was making.
People like this musical Guinness's bring our world together. This is beautiful I just love it so much! Any smart person would say this is a masterpiece!!
Dennis’s contributions were mostly overlooked. His talents emerged, but went by unrecognized. It is a shame he was taken before he could fully develop in the world of music. We have no idea what we are truly missing!😊❤
I am an unconditional admirer of The Beach Boys even though I first heard and became a fan of The Beatles, these two bands are amazing to me. Moving on to another point, it is a pity the death of Dennis Wilson so young one sees the brothers together enjoying life and one does not understand how fame affects people differently, some can not assume it and they surrender to drugs or alcohol, a pity ::: Very good video I congratulate you amanda jay, and ... Thanks for the music!
I read yesterday that he kept yelling for help when he was drowning. Everyone thought he was joking because he was such a great swimmer. That makes me so mad. He was so gorgeous and sweet. I watched the Brian Wilson show yesterday. I'm going to buy his album.
The best song by the sad and tragic and missed, Dennis Wilson. Also confirmation that heredity ain't no guarantee of genius....Thanks for uploading - hard to find this track in isolation elsewhere.
The superiority of Dennis' songwriting is undeniable here. The group should have accepted him as the main songwriter after Brian, with Carl and Al contributing, and put out more early '70s albums packed with Dennis' songs. Alot of the comments on this page mention not being able to hold back tears when hearing this. I don't know if there's a higher compliment than that to pay to a songwriter, singer, musican. (That must be Charles Lloyd ("Feel Flows") on flute in the end part.)
The first version to actually release a version of this was a woman named Evie Sands, I put both her version and this original in one of my Beach Boys playlists. Thanks for the upload!
and that's because she took part in a Dennis & Carl tribute concert run by a musician/fan who got given access to the lyrics/sheet music but didn't get to hear how it was actually performed. Her/their version is on cd as part of the live album "Adam Marsland's Chaos Band - Long Promised Road: Songs Of Dennis & Carl Wilson"
thanks for posting this--first time I'd seen it--thanks to John for sending me a link to a CW video and I just happened to run across this one. Great to see my dear friend, and 'brother-in-spirit, DW, on --youtube.com--. Any day is a good day when you can visit Carl and Denny in ten minutes:) Sorry all of you missed seeing them in the very early years--all in good health, all filled with youthful optimism, and sounding GREAT with no Pro Tools vocal tuning:) Last year (2013) was my 50th Anniversary of my lifelong friendship -- and association -- with Brian and 'the boys.' RIP DW, CW.
why was this song not an an album, the band really did'nt appreciate that with Denis as main songwriter the standing of the band would never have dropped. Wonderful song
WHAT. It took me so long to find this song and Forever. He was a god damn genius composer and sang from the heart in such a touching way. I'm in shock. And a beautiful man, of course. What sad life. Even with success. Fuck Murry
Imagine Surf's Up with this and 4th of July instead of Take Care of your Feet and Student Demonstration Time (or A Day In The Life Of a Tree). WHAT AN ALBUM.
Dennis was the only true Surfer Boy in the Band. He was the guy the girls all screamed for. He had the world by the b-lls and in the end he couldn't get out of his own way. His addictions and his excesses killed him at such a young age. Unfortunately he could not get the help that he needed. By the end his voice was completely shot and the band had to replace him. It should never have ended like that.
It's too bad that group politics resulting in Dennis's two track being pulled from "Surf's Up". There was enough room for them, even in the vinyl days.
Dennis was so, so underrated. The proof is right here.
I don’t know if it’s so much that he was ‘underrated’. More like misunderstood. While the music media were fawning all over Brian as being the genius (which he rightfully deserved), and Carl as being the quiet, cute one with the voice of an angel (which he definitely did have)… Dennis got slapped with the unfortunate “good looking but dumb and talentless one who actually surfs and races cars” image. Sadly, much of the public bought into that. Anyone who’s not just a casual fan or sideline observer knows that this was a fallacy, and knows just how much of a soulful, creative force Dennis actually was.
Dennis's songs are always the saddest. He had such a short life.
Dennis’ finest lead vocal. Hands down.
In a perfect world, Dennis takes the reigns while brother Brian rested…….this is brilliant!!!
Spent the last 50 years listening to these guys
Another knockout song from Dennis. Just amazing.
Deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as The Beach Boys' best. I shall consider it an honour to do what is in my meager power to spread awareness of Dennis' masterpiece.
Oh hell yeah. Also has a better version of "You are so beautiful" One of the most underrated musician ever. He was dubbed the good looking surfer guy whom got all the ladies. More needs to be told about Denny's beautiful song writing and passion when he sings. He was more than just the good looking one. His talent shines through when people get over the other talented Wilson's. Love you Dennis. Rest in Paradise my brother

This song really is worthy of the term “masterpiece”. I could easily imagine this closing out side 2 of “Surf’s Up”.

For me it is one of those songs heightens the senses and feelings to place where I enjoy music the best
Beautiful song. Denny had a soulful sweet sound.
HE HAD A BEAUTIFUL VOICE

The Wilson Brothers. So beautiful what a beautiful song. Dennis knocked it out of the park. We miss the full of life drum player, Dennis. Thanks for sharing his song.
Dennis had a beautiful voice xxx
So sad.
Song is wonderful.

Brilliant composition. So heartfelt that the plain lyrics carry so damn much emotion.
Dennis was to the 70's what Brian was the to the 60's
Simon Edwards I guess.
I wouldn’t go that far. Carl is my fav. Was the anchor of that band.
Simon, I agree Dennis was a genius legendary voice. Dan, Carl another genius another legendary voice. BB are ICON of music.
Simon Edwards - In terms of songwriting, Dennis wrote some beautiful songs, but the best of Dennis is not the best of Brian. In terms of leadership, in terms of studio production, not even close.

However in reality he had a self destruct button.
@@steffanhoffmann8937 So true. Not a surprise with Murry as his father and the abuse he endured.
@@LostInTheWood Affirmative.

what a song ....breath taking dennis
What an awesome song, so deliciously sad.
You can see how much love was between these brothers.
RIP Dennis and Carl , you are both missed!!! 😢❤❤
Great tune by the 'WILD CHILD" of the Beach Boys. Who knows if there would ever have been Beach Boys if Dennis hadn't been born ! RockinRonny

I have a playlist that's Surf's Up with this track in place of Student Demonstration Time.
It's the saddest thing in the world.
Me too. And with 4th of July as an extra track. Best album ever.

I know i can cry... Sang with all the feeling...
Incredible song from the heart. No one sings like this today. Soulful and so real!
What a great song thank you Dennis god bless😢
Not know one sings like this today, but few do and no one who sings like this gets the sort of promotion or support to become famous today.
Simply Love this! Big time!
love Dennis Wilson you god loves you
usually can't stand lighter swinging rock ballads but this song just gets to me
The montage to this track is amazing, many thanks!

Medieval Richard No, it's the other way around.

Does anyone know who that is on his shoulders at 2:47??
His mother Andrea Wilson
Brian Dennis war dein Schutzschild du hast ihn überlebt! Er wollte das so!!!! Ich bin wie Dennis!
Dennis was the only true Surfer Boy in the Band. He was the guy the girls all screamed for. He had the world by the b-lls and in the end he couldn't get out of his own way. His addictions and his excesses killed him at such a young age. Unfortunately he could not get the help that he needed. By the end his voice was completely shot and the band had to replace him. It should never have ended like that.
WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM??? ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Feeling so sad!🤔
At 39. Far too young to die. So talented
Who ever said goodbye.....
He is TEN times the singer that Mike Love ever tried to be. No Twenty.
It's too bad that group politics resulting in Dennis's two track being pulled from "Surf's Up". There was enough room for them, even in the vinyl days.
