189 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:44,120 But being a songwriter that has more of a touch for what will please people, I think 190 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,240 is probably very helpful here. 191 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,880 It's kind of as if this album wasn't made for these times. 192 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:50,880 Sorry. 193 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,880 Let's hear another cut. 194 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,400 This is I just wasn't made for these times. 195 00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:11,760 Sounds like some Clydesdales are running in the background, all the clip clopping and 196 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,600 noises and sounds and there are men on this. 197 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:20,040 That might actually be where they were supposedly using orange juice containers for percussion 198 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,280 and yeah, just weird things going on. 199 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:27,800 Yeah, so that song just really sums up I think where Brian Wilson was in this world that 200 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:33,400 was starting to have this counterculture thing and he's this, I think the Beach Boys by this 201 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:37,320 point were started to be viewed as kind of nerdy. 202 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:38,480 Squares. 203 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:43,800 With their striped shirts and their clean cut image and all that and stretching out 204 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:49,000 creatively and reaching for that, trying to be a part of these times, like the social 205 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,520 disconnection so I think he had some other stuff going on, not wanting to be on tour 206 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:56,520 and around crowds and just wanted to listen to the music in his own mind. 207 00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:03,480 I think it points at his personal struggles but it also, I think that includes feeling 208 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:07,920 uncool and left out and every time I get something going, it gets shot down and I think that 209 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:12,560 this album was an effort to show I can play with the big dogs. 210 00:12:12,560 --> 00:12:14,040 Look at what, this is what I hear. 211 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,000 I don't hear I get around in my head. 212 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,440 I hear this. 213 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:22,760 So the clickbait headline I chose, the beautiful mind of Brian Wilson produces pet sounds with 214 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,920 its heartfelt themes and groundbreaking sound. 215 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,480 Take that Beatles. 216 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:33,280 So I think when the Beatles came on the scene, it kind of took over what cool was. 217 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:39,040 It had a big impact on the Beach Boys and being able to make a record like this where 218 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:43,960 he stretches out, they do things no one's ever done before but still get the guys in 219 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:44,960 there. 220 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:50,440 The voices, it's still the Beach Boys and it still has whatever magic they had in their 221 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,880 earlier records but kind of elevates to the next level. 222 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:59,000 Yeah, it's so, like I get the parallels but it's so unlike the Beatles. 223 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:04,280 I mean, there's, the Beatles are still kind of doing the rock band thing even though they're 224 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,920 adding instruments and they're doing little studio tricks and stuff. 225 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:09,560 Yeah, but they were setting standards. 226 00:13:09,560 --> 00:13:16,000 So if they added satire or whatever to something, then other bands were doing it and I think 227 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,000 they were influencing music. 228 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:24,160 And I think that's what Brian Wilson wanted to get back to was being at the head of the 229 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:25,160 table. 230 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:30,320 You guys ever envious of like people who lived at this time and maybe experienced this era 231 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,040 of music firsthand?
