This is just awesome !! Anyone with a good ear for high-quality music & an unbiased, impartial appreciation for same is gonna pick up on this one. Here, you get the best of both worlds .. not only the legendary Neil Diamond, one of rock-music's best ever singer / songwriters; but you also get that unmistakeable magical BRIAN WILSON touch to the arrangement & production. SWEET !! Lap it up, folks .. it don't get much better than this !!
@colindominy Whilst I daresay Brian Wilson had some input, the production was all Rick Rubin. Check out the stripped down American recordings by Johnny Cash, or evan some of his earlier stuff with the Beastie Boys and others
a few minuites laer i met the girl i fell in love with. any time i hear the song i think of her any time i see her ( that isint very often) (we live i same country ireland .shes from moira im not .)i think of the song . it m akes me sad
This song deserves to be number one in every chart in the world. it is far better than anything that is topping the charts week in and week out. Nobody can touch the legends
This is serious classic Diamond supported by the "BEACH BOYS" what a track that evokes memories from 62 to 82..........Brian Wilson and ND.............Genius....we are not worthy just listen to 2:16 to understand:)
I retract all statements made re the lovester -- cuz he made a lot of good music with them and he had his reasons for what he did -- hey I never walked in his desert boots/shoes.
Yes, Brian wrote songs for the My Carl, Denny -- friend Al and idiot "lovester" always forget Johnston -- hee hee great songs they sang!!!!!!!!!! Check out Pet Sounds -- the Beatles copied him!!!!!!
I take umbrage at Mike Love being called an "idiot". Yes Brian had the musical talent, Dennis the looks and the others contributed well, but the Lovester held the band together through some pretty horrible times. If it wasn't for him Brian would still be mad as a fish, if not dead, and the Beach Boys would be churning out crap like "Smile"- the most over-rated drug-induced crap EVER!!!
to be fair, although Mike Love may have held the touring band together,it was him and his lack of support and quite often outright disdain for Brians new music that drove him to paranoia and drugs . . . so yes ML is a waster IMHO
boogie -- they still do singles?????? love this song -- cool w/brian and some of the bb's sound to it. Neil is so good -- loved him on Johnny Cash show singing Brother Love's... post response to ncarolinaluv
Neil Diamond and Brian Wilson performing on the same song is brilliant. I'd be hard pressed to find a better combination of singers and a song. 5 Stars
