okay that seems a bit um... high. I mean it's a good song and all but it's definitely under-produced.

Why I didn't vote for Breakaway I just don't know. Fantastic non-album single - superbly bittersweet lyrics too.

yeah breakaway is just great part after great part, packed with wonderful moments.
― tylerw, Thursday, 18 August 2011 16:06 (fourteen years ago)
Yes, very strange it placed so high since it's not on any albums and came out during the Boys' first lag period (always saw 20/20 and later Carl & The Passions as points where the Beach Boys seemed to be admitting to themselves they were at an end of an era).

def in my top 5 most listened to bb songs.

I used to like this one more than I do now. Not the best mix in the world.
― skip, Thursday, 18 August 2011 16:11 (fourteen years ago)
Breakaway was in my top 5 iirc. It's so breezy, bittersweet, such a spacious sound... one of their most lush songs imho

I'm never not in the mood to hear this song
― iatee, Thursday, 18 August 2011 16:13 (fourteen years ago)
the excessively dry production on most of it detracts from the overall song imho

two deep-ish cuts (non-singles, non-pet sounds) in a row ahead
let's hear some guesses

skip called it!
― that mellow wash of meh (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 18 August 2011 16:33 (fourteen years ago)
love this song, synths on it are bonkers
― that mellow wash of meh (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 18 August 2011 16:34 (fourteen years ago)
also reportedly ALL Carl...?
in a way, Surf's Up is a throwback in the way that the Feel Flows-Til I Die-Surf's Up trio of songs is SO much better than anything else on the album. This track was used in the Almost Famous ending credits. Total jam.
― skip, Thursday, 18 August 2011 16:41 (fourteen years ago)
i think feel flows was what I hoped carl's solo album would be like.
― tylerw, Thursday, 18 August 2011 16:47 (fourteen years ago)
long promised road and a day in the life of a tree are up there xp

I know right? instead it's like his attempt to completely get away from everything he did with the Beach Boys.

I like the song but I'm pretty surprised it made #16. lotta wild honey love round here.
deep cut parade.
― tylerw, Thursday, 18 August 2011 17:07 (fourteen years ago)
I was about to slag this one but the 3/4 meter and up and down vocals put me in a bit of a trance.
― skip, Thursday, 18 August 2011 17:09 (fourteen years ago)
As does the whole album, to be honest.
ha, called it! my #2, so beautifully simple & spooky.
― buzza, Thursday, 18 August 2011 17:12 (fourteen years ago)
I love "Let The Wind Blow", also my #2.
― Euler, Thursday, 18 August 2011 17:14 (fourteen years ago)
there is a really good post on one of the other threads about the lyrics in this song and how fantastic the delivery is at the bridge, let me see if I can find it
― that mellow wash of meh (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 18 August 2011 17:19 (fourteen years ago)
I think Girl Don't Tell Me might be my favorite Beach Boys track. Although I didn't vote for it as #1.
Those last few are nice and all but.. pretty gosh dang underwhelming.
― the wheelie king (wk), Thursday, 18 August 2011 17:22 (fourteen years ago)
agreed!
― broom air, Thursday, 18 August 2011 17:27 (fourteen years ago)
We could use a big crowd-pleasing single. Dance Dance Dance?
― skip, Thursday, 18 August 2011 17:29 (fourteen years ago)
Has "When I Grow Up (To Be A Man)" come up yet? Another I forgot to vote for.

oddly Mike Love has kept this in their live repertoire
― that mellow wash of meh (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 18 August 2011 17:32 (fourteen years ago)
in mike love's head this and Kokomo are the only things the beach boys released after pet sounds
good song tho. Carl really shines.
― iatee, Thursday, 18 August 2011 17:35 (fourteen years ago)
there's your big crowd pleasing single
― the wheelie king (wk), Thursday, 18 August 2011 17:35 (fourteen years ago)
I was about to predict this but thought if those other Wild Honey tracks got so high that it would be top 10. "Darlin" must have seemed like a step backward at the time but you have to think it has held up better than most of the hippy dippy shit it was surrounded by.
― skip, Thursday, 18 August 2011 17:35 (fourteen years ago)
in the culture, not the album.
― skip, Thursday, 18 August 2011 17:36 (fourteen years ago)
that's the only crowd pleasing single left, from hereon it's just love you and miu tracks
