Album Notes & Community Reviews

A stunningly beautiful, slow-tempo ballad that heavily showcased Brian Wilson's rapidly developing genius for complex vocal arrangements. The intricate, deeply romantic harmonies drew heavily from 1950s doo-wop, establishing a softer, more sophisticated counterpoint to their fast-paced surfing anthems.
