I predict Brian’s genius will be more appreciated in the future. Now, he’s just the guy who wrote catchy surfing songs. Some time after he dies, he will be seen as one of the greatest songwriters of the 20th century. By the way, you don’t see how complicated those surfing songs are until you hear masterpieces like Good Vibrations and Surf’s up.
The fact that he made his musicians wear fireman outfits and had them smelling burning wood in the studio is downright hilarious. He was high beyond belief and extremely into the details of music production
“Time spent in the studio can get to the point where you get so next to it, you don't know where you are with it, and you just have to chuck it for a while." I know the feeling. When you get too deep into your art, at some point it becomes impossible to tell if it’s any good anymore. You get so close to it that you lose any kind of objective perspective on it. it’s like when you repeat a word so many times that it loses its meaning, and just starts to sound like an arbitrary combination of noises. Hearing this explanation, it makes more sense to me why Smile was ultimately abandoned. Sounds like he decided to step away from it for a while & just ended up never picking it back up
Brian was trying to make an album in the same manner that he made "Good Vibrations." It took him six months to make that one tune. He was trying to put a dozen or so tracks together for Smile and he was getting both internal (the band) and external (Capitol Records) pressure. Add a lot of drug taking to the mix, and it's easy to see why the album wasn't completed at the time.
No, no, no. It was also abandoned because the other band members weren't supportive, which only made him sink deeper into depression. In a lot of way, abandoning SMiLE was the worst decision of his life. Briann simply needed to get organized with it, that's all. Get his mind right and have SUPPORT. The others never gave him that, even after SMiLE. He tried many times to do things he wanted and was denied at every turn. Even for his own solo records.
"You just come to grips with what you are and what you can do and what you can't do. And you learn to face it!" --Brian Wilson, 1976 (the year the interview with him in this video took place)
I remember watching this, The Beach Boys: An American Band, in the '80s. I had it on VHS. I always wished there was a full performance of Surf's Up. But even what little we have of the genius at work is a treasure!
Thanks for uploading this. Van Dyke Parks is an interesting cat. I love the versions of Smile that we have now although I'll always wonder what it would have been if it was finished in 67.
R.D. Dragon have you checked out the Smile sessions boxset? It has all the original work from that album, with remastered sound. Also there is Brian Wilson presents Smile, which he released not too long ago.
Jonathan Rosales BWPS is not a representation of what SMiLE would've been in '67- for one, it's much longer. The Smile Sessions, while being the original recordings, follows BWPS so it's also not a very good representation of what the record would've been.
@@XxSTAR1977WARSxX Unfortunately there's no telling what it would've been. Not even Brian knows beyond some general ideas. You almost have to look at the entire 37-38 years it took to complete it from '66 to BWPS in '04 as the full progression of the work's creation. It wasn't finished in '67, neither in its full conception or physical recording. Brian and Van Dyke "finished" it in '04 and that's that. It's just a bummer that you can't have the special beauty of the Beach Boys' voices in their prime on it, or the sound quality of the production and the wrecking crew playing all the parts. That's my only gripe. The SMiLE sessions definitely show how amazing the overall sound quality of it could've been if it were finished back then.
@@spacevspitch4028 as far as I'm concerned, Smile was an album that was finished in 2004 and then resurfaced in its original form in 2011. It's as simple as that.
@@seanevans335 It's not "finished", Smile from 2004 and the Sessions was an reinterpretation of the original work for a live performance. Sahanaja himself have said this, and Brian Wilson could hardly remember anything about the album too. Long short, we are never going to have the smile that would have been released in '67 But this completed rendition from Wilson and his band is wonderful.
As I grew up, I was amazed how many things I loved had a connection to VDP. The brave little toaster is my favourite childhood movie, and he was the song composer for the film. Silverchair is one of my favourite bands growing up and their album Diorama included VDP to help score the orchestral arrangements. I guess it was only natural to trace his other career works and explore his time with Brian Wilson. Pet Sounds and Smile is hard to get into as a younger person. they’re not as accessible like modern pop albums. It’s also hard to gauge the context of the records during that time period because I wasn’t there.
van dyke has changed his response to love and his reasons for leaving the project on a number of occasions they never tossed the lyrics to cabinessence van dyke knew that no matter what he told love, that mope would never get it
For everyone that decries Smile please write a better song than “Heroes and Villains” for example “ I’ve been in this town so long that back in the city I’ve been taken as lost and gone”
Van Dyke: "They're not important. Throw 'em away." I guess he always felt like he was stepping on their toes and if they wanted they could put different lyrics on it. As if.
Some people prefer to "step away" from controversy instead of getting caught up in it. My belief is that Van Dyke and Brian are like this. Take care and May God bless.
@@aceven2raa ok, it was confusing. Too bad Love chased the guy away, he was a wonderful lyricist. Love was jealous and destroyed what could have been an all time epic album.
Anybody know where I might find the footage from 3:16 to 3:33? Or an audio recording of this particular version of the song being played? Looks like it's shot from the same time as the "Inside Pop" TV Show footage
smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,10016.msg194029.html#msg19402 The above link gives some detail and photos suggesting where that footage comes from. It seems as though it was shot by Dennis Wilson at Columbia studios, sometime between October and December 1966. Some speculate that it's from the same day as Inside Pop was shot, but based on another photo, dated 'October 1966', I would say that's the more likely point in time, as Brian's hair seems longer in the Inside Pop footage, which was shot in December 1966. The film is also apparently missing its original audio and the piano sound you hear on this clip was overdubbed in the 1980s for the American Band documentary. As far as I can gather, the film or audio is not publicly available outside of this documentary.
I actually swore that I seen some of the footage on one of the History of Rock and Roll Parts from T.V, but then when I checked them later I couldn't find it, very strange. It's not particularly the Leonard Bernstein "Surfs Up" he's actually wearing a different sweater without pockets, the first one on Surfs Up is a brown coat with pockets, also I have read that Brian never opened his eyes during Surfs Up and I am pretty sure that's the only song he did.
Supposedly Paul and John visited Brian in the studio while he was working on this record, which laid the foundation for Sgt. Peppers and subsequent Beatles records.
I don’t think the drugs is what did Brian in. From the sound of it it sounds like he was a paranoid schizophrenic, which in cases can be triggered by lsd, but it’s not likely that acid can cause it in someone who isn’t already predisposed to having it.
He started having auditory hallucinations shortly after his first trip. Voices telling him they were gonna kill him which persists to this day. But even then, I genuinely believe the drugs played a much smaller part in his failure to finish SMiLE than the lack of support from Mike Love in particular and that Van Dyke Parks left the project (most likely ALSO because of Mike Love's hostility toward the project and Parks' lyrics). The other issue is that the way Brian was approaching the production of SMiLE was about as revolutionary as the music itself. He was basically trying to record in a way that was more suited to the digital age than analogue. In those times, it took months to accomplish what can be done on a computer in hours. Which is evidenced by how quickly he was able to finish SMiLE once they were able to load all the original tape reels to a computer and really see how the pieces fit together.
I suspect it was a combination of failure to mature due to the odd nature of his upbringing and early success, his sensitive temperament and then the drugs on top, with the brain damage that resulted. He effectively threw a multi-decade long tantrum when the SMiLE album didn't get the reception he wanted and then ruined his voice, talent and mind with all the abuse he inflicted upon himself. So desperately tragic.
Acid doesn’t cause brain damage. Now maybe from all the coke in the period after perhaps, but doubtful. He seemed clearheaded (functional anyways) in the mid 70s, what really fucked him up was Landy.
@@laquestion7152 Landy's mistreatment effectively finished the job Brian started on his own and made the damage irreparable. An astonishing set of circumstances - I wonder if it could have happened if Brian had lived in, say, the UK where medical oversight is more stringent?
