This is a slideshow video for my edit of three Beach Boys' songs:' Wonderful', 'Look', and 'Child Is Father Of The Man'. Written by Brian Wilson with lyrics by Van Dyke Parks, the three songs were recorded for the legendary aborted Beach Boys' 'Smile' project in 1966 and 1967. For this video, they are edited into a medley form somewhat like 2004's 'Brian Wilson Presents Smile', but the vocal parts are different from that project. Lyrics written by Van Dyke Parks in 2004 are not included here, just the session tapes recorded by The Beach Boys in 1966/67.
0:05 'Wonderful' was rerecorded for 1967's 'Smiley Smile' album with a drastically different arrangement. The original version of 'Wonderful' presented here was never released until 1993 on the 'Good Vibrations: 30 Years" box set.
2:05 'Look': The instrumental track that was titled 'Look' during the recording of 'Smile' was not released until 2011's 'Smile Sessions' boxset. Vocals for the song recorded by all six Beach Boys in October of 1966 have been lost. 'Look', also listed on 'Smile' session sheets as 'I Ran' and 'Untitled Song #1', was re-recorded by Brian Wilson in 2004 and re-titled as 'Song For Children'. That recording, which now had newly written lyrics by Van Dyke Parks, was included on the 'Brian Wilson Presents Smile' album.
4:14 'Child Is Father Of The Man' also went unreleased for many years although the chorus was reworked and recorded as a section of the glorious 'Surf's Up' song. 'Surf's Up' was another 'Smile' track that was seeing it's first release in 1971 on the 'Surf's Up' album. 'Child Is Father Of The Man' was finally completed in 2004 with newly written Van Dyke Parks lyrics for the 'Brian Wilson Presents Smile' project.
Sadly, the themes of environmental protection and racial equality are just as relevant in today's society as they were 50 years ago when this music was created. Thanks to the fan-mixers whose efforts are a part of this edit. Also big thanks to the incredible artists and photographers whose work is seen throughout this video. But mostly, thanks to Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys: Mike Love, Carl Wilson, Dennis Wilson, Al Jardine, and Bruce Johnston for the awesome music that still intrigues and entertains us to this day. I hope you enjoy this newly upgraded slideshow.
