Not everyone"gets" the Beachboys, but the Beatles did and so does Harri
This song and album came out before Revolver. The Beatles didn’t just like The Beach Boys, but they were inspired by them, and kinda had a friendly competition with them.
It’s crazy how overlooked Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys was. He was just as much of a visionary as any of the Beatles, without the team, record label, or producer to really support him.
@@futurereflections4097 McCartney said that the Pet Sounds album inspired him to make Sgt Pepper. And Brian Wilson said that Rubber Soul inspired him to make Pet Sounds. Rubber Soul also came out before Good Vibrations.
@@GoldTop57 As it goes. It’s crazy how fast things went in the late 60s.
@@GoldTop57 From late 1965 to 1967 there was an ongoing "friendly rivalry" between the Beatles and the Beach Boys, with the Rolling Stones also playing a role, mainly with one entry, their album _Aftermath_ (among the titles the Beatles bandied about for what became _Revolver_ was _After Geography)._
Amen my friend 🤘🏼👋🏼🙏🏼😀✨✨✨✨✨✨
Back in the day this was the most expensively produced single ever.
Definitely not one of those songs written on the back of a napkin
I thought it was over $100K to produce this. This was when Brian broke away from his father and wouldn't put out a song about the beach or cars (which his father wanted).
And worth every cent!
@@wpollock1 That whole ordeal with his dad actually happened a few years earlier
@@wpollock1 it was $25000 but that's in 1966 dollars, about $240k today
I personally believe that The Beach Boys are way underrated. Thank you for helping to enlighten the world on how awesome they truly are!
I don't think they were underrated. They were hugely popular in the 60's and still popular enough in the 70's to tour with Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.
They were only second to the Beatles.
I disagree that they were second to the Beatles. I think the Beatles were second to them.
I think you're both out of your minds for even trying to put them in that sorta bracket. However it's all a matter of opinion and there's mine ✌🙂
@@stanzaloan3454 lol
The Beach Boys' best song (imo) and by far one of the most ambitious pieces of music of the 1960s. Brian Wilson was a musical genius twice over.
In my opinion, this is the best thing the Beach Boys ever recorded
Agreed! This is a masterpiece of music, for any time period or genre
I agree 100per cent
Arguably the best thing anyone’s ever recorded. Light years ahead of its time,
This might be the best song ever produced. From the mind of Brian Wilson.
@@italianboy1963 "Ever"..not really. But everyone has different taste towards music and is entitled to it..Cheers!!
Brian Wilson is a musical genius, just simply a master
The soul of conducter who can hear multiple instrumen in their head and direct a full orchestra. I couldn't believe he walked into columbia studios and conducted a room full of wrecking crew and produce this track and many others. I just can't see myself doing that as a 24 yr old. Impossible but he did it.
I was a teen in the sixties and Beatles and Beach Boys were the soundtrack of our lives!☮️❤️😎
The sustained "AHHH" at 6:51 is probably the best example of accapella harmony ever! 10/21/22
His father was an overbearing perfectionist, especially about harmony but when Brian was ready to take charge, magic happened!! Only a handful of Rock songs rival this and beach boys best like pet sounds , Beatles best including rubber soul, sgt peppers, Simon and Garfunkel - bridge over..
I always wait for that beautiful blast of voice and how it bounces off the airwaves
God Only Knows is their best song. Paul McCartney’s all-time favorite too!
Also John Lennon said in an interview that God Only Knows was the one song he wished he'd written...
@@richardctaylor79 Who is John Lenton?
@@waynemarvin5661 sorry typo, rectified now...
@@richardctaylor79 McCartney said it, not Lennon. That said, both heavily admired Wilson's songwriting and talent, and were inspired to write both Revolver and Sgt Pepper's after hearing Pet Sounds
Great song but have you heard the sunflower album from The Beach Boys because a lot of the music there are great
This was Brian's magnum opus, he spent weeks assembling it. There are outtakes from these session on both their "Good Vibrations" 5-CD box set and the "Smiley Smile / Wild Honey" two-fer CD. This was to be part of the SMILE album, Brian's teenage symphony to God. He worked for months on various bits in 1966 and 1967 but in May '67 cancelled it. Under the pressure of the production race with the Beatles, a lawsuit against their record company, the drugs he was taking, and maybe his fading confidence he scrapped the new album. Songs were salvaged and issues as "Smiley Smile". Decades later the band and Brian would release their own separate versions of the SMILE album, I took the best bits of both and made my own disc. :-D
Here's the 15 minute 'Good Vibrations (Sessions)' track from the box set, there's also an early version of the single on another track:

I think Sail on Sailor will floor you, sublime harmonies.
I think you would like “Wouldn’t it be Nice”, “Sloop John B”, “Sail on Sailor” and “In my Room”. For fun, up tempo songs, I like “Darlin’” and “Barbara Ann”. Were you referring to “Kokomo”?
I don't think Harri would like these, as he insists on stopping every song repeatedly to give us his thoughts, ruining the flow of the music. His "take" on the songs is therefore skewed. It breaks my heart to hear my favorite songs butchered and listened to piecemeal. I am aware that one cannot simply play the song, especially the Beatles, due to copyright infringement, but it still is annoying. I hope Harri listens to the entire recording at some point.
@Gwen Snyder, I'd like to add "I Get Around" to the fun songs!
Love all of your choices. Sail on Sailor and Darlin are two of the Beach Boys most underrated songs.
Darlin is one of the most underrated songs in history
"Good Vibrations" could sum up this entire channel. I only subbed a few days ago, but it's a good feeling here, and talk about a good vibe! This was what I was needing, couldn't have coincided better. It's going be one of those easy-going days at work today I can already feel it, walking on sunshine right now. Awesome!
Same here.
Oh my God Harri
That electronic device was a Therimin
That inspired me to order a kit from popular electronics miles about I guess I was 15 years old and build a kit and make that device
I don’t think I would’ve gotten involved in electronics except it was for that one friggin song
That’s Brian Wilson was an absolute genius the Beatles admire him and Brian Wilson admire the Beatles it was so beautiful
and still Is…
This was out of this world in 1965 .Way ahead of the Beatles. Incredible at the time and even today, I was 19 when this released. Music was changing so fast during these years. 1950 to 1970 the world was experiencing a new world in music. I am so glad I was able to witness the evolution .
This was recorded over 6 weeks in 4 different studios.
Another really great Beach Boys song is "Please Let Me Wonder."
'Please let me wonder' is mad special. This is one the few songs I clearly remember when & where I heard it for the first time. Same goes with 'Good Vibrations'.
The LP 'Today!' was the first Beach Boys' album that came out after Brian Wilson did psychedelics for the first time.
I think we can hear it in this song in particular. Such a beautiful tune, man...
Brian Wilson IS The Beach Boys. He made all the musical arrangements in the studio with a large group of session musicians (the best) and guided them to get the exact sound he wanted. THEN, after the music was completed, the Beach Boys would come into the studio and work on the harmonies , directed by Brian . It's all Brian . All are his masterpieces .
The bass guitar was played by Carol Kaye, amazing master of the art.
Not on the album. Her parts were cut.
The fall of 1966.the greatest year for music
Ever
"Don't Worry, Baby" is my favorite! Love your channel, Harri! You're great!
THATS THEIR BEST
I was a teenager when this music was first played on our local radio stations. I don't know why, but, although I really liked the music of the Beach Boys back then, I actually appreciate it more now. Maybe it has something to do with the cheesy, low fidelity sound coming out of those cheap, little transistor radios we used back then .... or maybe my ears just grew up ....
Think about all the forgettable tunes you’ve heard since this came out.
There was a silent friendly competition between the Beach Boys and the Beatles. Essentially, the Beach Boy's 'Pet Sounds' begat the Beatles' 'Sgt Pepper....' album. This song was not on that album but certainly this was an influence having been released many months before the Beatles' album. This is an amazing track. Music was moving more into art at the time. This is like an audio painting. You can almost see the quiet beach at night with the girl sitting just an arm length away in the flickering of the small camp fire. Unfortunately, Brian's mental state went south soon after. Some blame the competition with the Beatles for contributing to his breakdown. These guys were putting out music the likes we will never see again.
You forgot to mention that Rubber Soul influenced Pet Sounds which then inspired Paul to up the ante with Sgt Pepper. All praise to Brian but you should also mention his huge debt to Phil Spector’s Wall of Sound.
@@John_Chu I could have mentioned all that and more, but I tried to keep it brief and to the point. Your comment is a welcome addition.
The Wrecking Crew is playing the instruments. The great Carol Kaye on bass.
Carol (no "e" at the end of her first name) Kaye is not dead. But that IS her stunning work on bass on this recording. :-)
Citing…
Bassist Carol Kaye played on several of the "Good Vibrations" sessions, and has been identified as a prominent contributor to the track. However, analysis by Beach Boys archivist Craig Slowinski indicates that none of those recordings made the final edit as released on the single.
Brian would actually record the same song in different studios because he might like the way the bass sounds in one and the way the piano sounded miles away in another studio, the vocals in another. He did have a drug problem...but he was a genius.
Pet Sounds was one of the best albums ever. I believe even Mccartney said it was his favorite.
Brian Wilson worked on that song forever, years I remember hearing. He was obsessed with perfection. The Beach Boys layers of sound coming in and out are amazing. I was too young to appreciate it fully at the time but the more I hear it the more I realize what a genius song and arrangement it is.
The weird sound in this song is called a Theremin. It was widely used in science fiction movies in the 1950's. Here it is in action th-cam.com/video/GcUgOEImP1o/w-d-xo.html
I built a simple one in my 9th-grade electronics class in 1968 and played at "Good Vibrations" on the bus to school. Didn't know the name "Theramin." Teacher called it a Light Controlled Audio Oscillator.
"When I was s little girl of age 6, I resided in London England in the 1960's,with Jamaican Mom and Dad:When watching/hearing,'Top Of The Popd',on the BBC t.v./radio'The Beach Boys'Good Vibrations'songlyric,was very elating to my ears,mind,and emotion'heart. . ."1-20-2022'
You are so right about that. He not only changed how music was produced, arranged, etc., but in "Good Vibrations" and other songs, he created a new form of songwriting, often referred to as "modular," which is as good a name for it as any. Even some of his minor hits show incredibly innovative structure, like "The Little Girl I Once Knew," "Wouldn't It Be Nice," and more recent solo songs like "Sail Away" and Beach Boys tunes like "From There to Back Again." If you haven't seen the movie "Love and Mercy," you should check it out. Brian's probably the only true American genius we've had in pop music in the last 60 years. Never been anyone else like him and most likely there never will be another one. But you need to listen to "Good Vibrations" in one swoop rather than in bits. Otherwise, you can lose the flow...
The modular songwriting was used extensively in prog music, to where I think you could argue this was the first prog song.
Parents freaked a little when I started singing this with some friends from school....good times
Thanks much
Harri - It's not only ingenious but also pure genius!!!!
Masterpiece! The sound you might be wondering about comes from a theremin, an electronic musical instrument invented in 1920. Jimmy Page plays one in The Song Remains The Same during the middle passage to "Whole Lotta Love". P.S. Check out The Beach Boys "Help Me, Rhonda" -- and for something different from them, the instrumental "Let's Go Away For Awhile" from their Pet Sounds album.
Look up Leon Theremin. Russian immigrant. Fantastic story. Kidnapped and taken back to Russia.
In My Room by the Beach Boys is amazing also.
It was perfect and we don't hear music like this, with such harmony anymore.
I feel that _God only knows_ is the Beach Boys' most beautiful and important song, but _Good vibrations_ is probably their best overall song.
My mom grew up down the block from The Beach Boys in Hermosa Beach. She could hear them playing in their garage.
Really? Wow! They grew up in Hawthorne, CA, about 5 miles inland. So when they made it they were still practicing in their garage? Whoa!
Cool
The synth sound you are hearing is an electronic instrument called a theramin. It's played by waving your hand in front of it...seriously! And using bass harmonica is another trademerk BW trick. For another great BW love song try 'Caroline No' from 'Pet Sounds'.
It actually was not a theramin but an electrotheramin which had a slide you moved. This article talks about it.
.
www.npr.org/sections/allsongs/2013/02/07/171385175/no-it-wasn-t-a-theremin-on-good-vibrations-remembering-paul-tanner
Similar in sound but technically a Theremin is controlled by hands moved in proximity to two antennas. What Brian Wilson used was an Electro-Theremin , which instead used a knob to control pitch.
Listen to the bass harmonica/banjo break in “Here Today “! One of my favorite moments in all BB’s music! Love the bass harmonica!
Spot-on, awesome analysis and reaction (especially at the half-way mark)!
Damn, this song is TIMELESS! ✌️
The Beach Boys are one of my favorites from my high school days. Haven't heard them for awhile. Great memories. Great music. Brian Wilson was such a talent. Thanks!
Loved Beach Boys.
Great reaction. You are amazingly insightful and everything you have to say is filled with meaning. The music really matters to you and that's a beautiful thing, Harry
You have to understand what a departure this song and album were for the band.. no girls and sun, incredible music and voices..
I know this song ofcourse very well. (I'm 69..). But suddenly i was thinking by myself: it's nearly the same technic as Bohemian Rapsody by Queen. A few different songs and melody packed in one......GENIUS...!!
I could show you the exact spot on the highway where I was driving my car in 1966 when Good Vibrations came on the radio. Just amazing
"Warmth of the Sun" will never be surpassed!
True!! Their best, tightest harmonies and Brian's Falsetto was in top form at that time.
Took several hours and many studios to create Brian's masterpiece.
Yes about 20 takes. Have you watched the making of...?
This song and a couple of others like God only knows and Wouldn't it be nice, were musically and technically advanced for the time. I've watched the making of these songs on TH-cam and Brian's perfectionist character really shines through. About 8 musicians were hired for these tracks. Genius
Love good vibrations one of my favorites. The beach boys are very talented. Brian Wilson was referred to as a musical genius. Love the way you feel about music. Great reaction!!
Obscure? Cool. There is a lovely innocence applied in the song "Don't Hurt my Little Sister". Very interesting note choices there Brian! Actually, I have not heard it myself in years so I might just slink off and give her a listen.
The Beatles and The Rolling Stones were so inspired by the Beach Boys that they said so in many interviews
More Beach Boys to react to:. Little Deuce Coupe, California Girls, Surfin' USA, In My Room. Much better than Kokomo.
Yes! Also “Fun, Fun, Fun” and “I Get Around” and “Darlin’”! But PLEASE no “Kokomo”!
Love those harmonies! ✌️
The lead vocal is celestial, and when you add the intertwining backing vocals, we're off to another realm. Throw in that bowed bass on the chorus, it's all ear orgasms from there.
One of the best make-out songs ever written ! It brings back memories of the late 60's , hmmm thanks Harri !
You are right about Brian Wilson creating “new” instruments or changing existing ones during the recording of the music for Pet Sounds. It’s fascinating and beautifully brought to life, recreating videos filmed during these studio sessions by the film Love and Mercy. It’s about Brian Wilson during his early Beach Boy days, later breakdown, recovery and return to music. They made this smart decision to have two actors play Brian. Paul Dano is the young & troubled genius (he does most of the singing) and John Cusack is the fragile Brian who finds himself again with the help of the woman who became his second wife.
Brian's Mom told him that dogs can hear good vibrations. He ran with this idea and Mike Love wrote the lyrics. Great analysis.
Genius song writing and superb production and mixing. One of the greatest songs of all time.
This is a fantastic representation of the Wrecking Crew. Fantastic studio musicians who played on 1000s of songs.
TBH, I don’t dig that much of The Beach Boys stuff but this one is a masterpiece!🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻✌🏻
A Masterpiece from Genius Brian Wilson. Amazing #1 song. I remember buying the record as a kid. ♥️🎼🎵🎶🇨🇦🎵
THE BEACH BOYS ARE EASILY ONE OF THE GREATEST MUSICAL ACTS OF ALL TIME
If you like the harmonies from the 1960s, you owe it to yourself to check out Britain's own...The Zombies, their album "Odessey and Oracle" (yes, they misspelled it) was amazing.
More Beach Boys is always a good thing! And a sublime collaboration you should check out is the Chicago song “Wishing You Were Here”. Several members of The Beach Boys provided background harmony vocals and the result is ethereal perfection!
When I first heard it in 66 the BEACHBOYS had been dormant for a year or two and GOOD VIBRATIONS was on the radio. I went OMG and sat down at my friends piano trying to find the chords. The BEACHBOYS surprised me again. Sadly this album was the pinnacle and things never got back to this epic quality.. Never fear I can always go to my CD collection and relive this and other tracks. I hold the BEACHBOYS in my heart and soul. Pure AMERICAN rockn roll.
It took 90 hours over at least 8-9 sessions to do this song. Released in October of 1966.
Check out the Fendertones 😂Beachboys cover band and they’re fabulous 🔥🔥🔥
This song always gives me a hankering for the Sunkist soda taste sensation.
Totally Dude... Craving a SUNKIST Bro
Unfortunately, that was my introduction to this brilliant piece of art as well. I disregarded this track for SO long prior to finally realizing how great The Beach Boys are.
Impeccably conceived and realized, innovative and evocative, at the forefront of songcraft and production. Such a signature achievement for Brian! ✌😘🎶💞
Nice job Harri, you have given me new insight into the Beach Boys music after 50 years of listening to them.
I highly recommend that you react to “Heroes and Villains “. It was the ‘B’ side of the “Good Vibrations” 45. I got it as a child because of “Good Vibrations “, and played the ‘B’ side…. I fell in love with “Heroes and Villains”. It is sooo different… Brian the mad genius at his best. Use the TH-cam video that shows animation. It’s 4:55 long.
Heroes and Villains may be their best.
The Good Vibrations single was released in October 1966. The b-side was an instrumental from Pet Sounds called Let's Go Away for A While. SMiLE was supposed to come out in January 1967 and was finally canceled in May. The Heroes and Villains single didn't come out until July 1967, and stalled on the charts at #12. The flip side was a minute-long tune called You're Welcome. If you had a single with GV as the a-side and H&V as the flip, I'd be curious to know where you got it...
@@rangergrrrl looked it up. It’s a 70s reissue on brother records that says “back to back hits” on it.
@@SoundlabStudios63 Wow. Groovy. I suppose I could've looked it up too. Didn't mean to be a know-it-all in my post above. Just super serious about my BBs/BW trivia, ya know? Cheers...!
An absolute masterpiece and light years ahead of its time!!!!!
One of the best songs ever.
Well said. Imagine turning on the radio in the autumn of 1966 and this song comes on the radio. Mom’s mind would be blown and making a mess on the kitchen floor.
all through Brian Wilson's work you will hear one thing over and over again in almost every song. In an interview, Al Jardine said that when they just started and were riding about CA to get to gigs, Brian would assign them each an instrument to sing what that instrument played and they would use their voices as the instrument it was one thing that made their music unique... You will hear this especially ah the end of good vibrations in the la la la la la....lal la la section.
All their voices are amazing together! Especially Mike Love Carl Wilson and Brian Wilson!
This my fav Beach Boys song. It took Brian Wilson 7 months to get all of the sounds perfect for it. From Google: Dennis Wilson, Al Jardine; middle: Mike Love, Bruce Johnston; bottom: Carl Wilson, Brian Wilson. In 1966, Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys spent seven months producing “Good Vibrations” at an estimated cost of more than $400,000 in today's dollars-a record at the time for a single.
So glad you used genius! That’s absolutely correct about this song!
Brian Wilson as a mad professor in a laboratory is a PERFECT description.
❤️❤️❤️
P.S. it's a Theremin.
Saw them in concert in March. Amazing show. Mike Love is 82 and still sounds great.
Surf's Up is another "Genius" composition.
And yes when we first heard this in the day, unusual was an understatement! This was their best and it was a what's goin on!!!???!!! Unusual! And we just ate it up. Brilliant!
'Your summer dream' is a hidden gem. Lots of great comments here, but I haven't seen anyone mention this one.
I remember smoking a spliff with a mate back in the days, who was not a Beach Boys fan at all.
He went quiet and when the song ended, he went : "Wow, that was special man..."
'Please let me wonder' is mad special too.
Watch a documentary called "The Wrecking Crew" and you get insight from the studio musicians who worked on this (and other Brian Wilson) tracks.
This piece has the same structure as a classical symphony..... amazing... I remember when this song hit the charts....
Never was much of a Beach Boys fan but love their song, "I Can Hear Music."
There's a biopic about Brian Wilson called "Love & Mercy" that gives a bit of insight into how he produced these songs. It also largely about his struggle with mental health.
Love your honest, from the heart and head reaction. Imagine hearing this as a teen in the mid-1960s. Blew my mind…
Some of the best stuff ever in the rock era! And it's so outstanding as you say because of the experimenting which clued in a lot of the acts in the day about what they could do.... And apart from the Bee Gees, the harmonies are just the best..... And the "delerium", Harri you words describe the vibe exactly....!
You might be hearing the theremin! Very cool and innovative. I read it took 90 hours of studio time. I missed my school bus because this came on the radio for the first time and I simply couldn't turn it off. I was blown away and I still am. It's a work of genius.
This song was supposed to have been done in sections.
And put together afterwards.
I was and sounds like it.
Yes it did sound unusual to us later on after that period of time Brian started experimenting with LSD and he kind of went downhill from there but he revived from that
Just a sign of the times just like the Beatles experimented with it
Easily the greatest American band ever and imo 2nd greatest band ever to the Beatles
This is the best review of this song I've ever heard. You are spot on, sir. Thank you.
Hi from Australia, I feel Brain Wilson was the drummer and the success of the Beach Boys, he wrote most of the music brilliant man and very sad ending Bless you Mr Brain Wilson
I've always liked The Beach Boys. All summer long is one of my faves.
This is an old classic. One of the examples of a song that the Beatles heard and made them record REVOLVER, then SGT. Peppers, (What a kick in the butt, it caused them to record their best albums ever.) They were friends who just loved to impress the other group with their recording techniques, and songwriting, propelling rock music ahead, probably a decade, in one fell swoop of a pen. This album was inspired by the Beatles Rubber Soul Album. The b. Boys did this and the beatles responded with GOOD DAY SUNSHINE, and TAXMAN.
"...How long did it take Mr. Wilson to put this together?" Yes, many months. But, the lyrics that you describe as perfectly matching the music? Mike Love wrote the lyrics at the last minute -- on the way to the studio so he and the other Beach Boys could sing them. The background harmonies were already laid down.
Yes, Brian Wilson is the genius who created and put Good Vibrations together, but he had help. Van Dyke Parks suggested the cello playing triplets (in the chorus), Mike Love came up with the hook, "I'm pickin' up Good Vibrations" that leads into the chorus, the other Beach Boys persuaded Brian to add more harmonies, changing it from an R&B sound (listen to early version from the studio outtakes) to the etherial feel with the layers of harmonies.
Absolutely a genius. Love them.
Hari Without a doubt you nailed it in examining the synthesis of this music. There was so much new instrumentation of sound and beat blasted out by this song in the mid 60's It had an energy that pulsed and moved you from the first phrase along with falsetto harmonies. It was refreshing and new and we loved it. I had just gotten out of the Army when I first heard it and it zoomed to the top of the charts in no time. There seems little today that can be as innovative as this piece was. Enjoyed your analysis and comments. You've got a great ear.
brian used the wrecking crew on all the later music.the best session players in the business.
The pinnacle and signature tune for The Beach Boys!
It just don’t last long enough!❤
I'd add "Do You Wanna Dance" to that - it has the first ever Dennis Wilson (the Drummer) lead vocal!
