Glad this is back Colossal! Don't let KZread take this one down like the other Awake video.

Over my dead body NS!

The timbre of Brian's voice around 70-71 was fantastic- he may have already lost a little off the high end of his falsetto range, but he sounds brilliant, especially double-tracked.

lmao im new to recording, is double tracking when you have 2 different vocal takes on top of each other intentionally or when you just double the same exact track

@@kaboomerty1638 It can be either- at first it was always putting a second take on another, but the Abbey Road engineers developed automatic double tracking for The Beatles. ADT could be done with the two tracks slightly out of sync to give interesting effects, as on many Lennon vocals.

Jess MacKendrick does adt do anything if kept in sync, i’d feel like it would create a richer sound but idk

@@kaboomerty1638 I think the richness of a manual double-tracked vocal comes from the physically non-identical signals having a richer array of harmonics/overtones (what we hear as timbre or colour). ADT or flanging as created by Ken Townsend at EMI uses a delay oscillator to mimic this in an audibly synthetic and trippy way. running two copies of the same performance exactly in sync would cancel the doubling effect, with only a single sound image (no variations in timbre to produce that richness to the ear).

I agree man

I'm beyond happy to listen to this gem. His talent is truly extraordinary, a musical genius 🐦🎹

The most beautiful song I've ever heard.

Honestly if I were Mike Love, I would just say go for it Brian, do what your heart desires, I would never pull down his creative side

Beautiful 🥰

Absolutely Beautiful.........I'm speechless.......

So beautiful. I would so love to be Brian's buddy.

so great, i got tears in my eyes - i love his music so much

OK. Comments on vids like this about Brian's voice heading downhill and so on..Switching studios and mics and such makes a huge difference.I remember reading Chuck Britz saying in the heyday years of recording them Brian used a "..cheap mic, very directional, but he sounded fantastic on it"..all these things add up in how a vocal sounds..a beautiful tune and vocal

Only person who disliked this was most DEFINITELY Mike Love.

That is absolutely perfect ❤

What is it with this guy's songs that just grab my heart?

nice to hear the demo! (Spring's recording is an old favorite, too)

his left hand bass is incredible the guy is really out of this planet! reminds me an elton John song, skyline pigean and a a day in a life of a tree

Incredible

Outstanding.

Personally I prefer this mix over the Feel Flows Box

OMG!

heartbreaking

Who wrote this song; A Very Tranquil Vibe!

A acquaintance of Brian Wilson named Floyd Tucker. Unfortunately no other information re-surfaced about him. This was the only registered song he composed.

This sounds to me like it could be Brian’s homage to J. S. Bach & Charles Gounod, “Ave Maria”: kzread.info/dash/bejne/mq2JyqejpM-qfKQ.html

do you know where i can find the music score?

Can we talk about whether Brian Wilson keeps a pair of nun-chucks on top of his piano. I know Pet Sounds has a Japanese influence, but that's really living the gimmick, isn't it?

Japanese influence?!

@@countof3everybodyOD Yes. Some of the moods are reflective of Asian music. "That's Not Me" "IJWMFTT", the two instrumentals, and "Caroline No" stand out. Actually, pretty much all if you isolate riffs. I think the album liner notes includes pics of their tour of Japan.

There is no Japanese influence on Pet Sounds, but there surely are nun chucks on top of the piano. Brian Wilson suffered from paranoia in this period, that’s why.

You talking about the back of the record homie? That’s cuz the rest of the band went to tour japan when Brian stayed and made the album lol.

I think his reported hearing loss in his good ear might have had something to do with things, if magazines can be believed.

A song about death !!!

Sounds like Al in the first verse.

Let Al play the piano😂

@@mrsharpe You can still hear Brian do an ok falsetto on the pre-chorus on Airplane on Love you, a little later She's Got Rhythm has a Brian Falsetto (though it sounds a little different by then) He was definitely able to hit falsetto parts up to round 1980 (at least in Studio, if you see kzread.info/dash/bejne/l5NnvM6gqqnXqps.html you can hear Brian higher than the other BB) and then almost a decade later (though it had lost its youthful edge) - See I Sleep Alone either the TV performance or the unreleased studio tracks, it doesn;t sound the same but he can still hit high notes until the last 15 years or so.
