One of my favorite BB songs, and you did an awesome job covering it!! I appreciate the fact you use the full version with the acapella ending...gave me shivers!!!

Where did you get the backing track from?

Great job and thanks for posting!!!

[kaylawilliamsmusic]

@GREGMCKEE Thanks so much! I had a wonderful time making it-harmonies are my all time high!

I did all the music and vocals myself :D

[airager]

Wow Kayla! I stumbled across your vids by chance, "It's OK" first and I can't believe how brilliant you are! It's wonderul to hear a young person do this stuff with such accuracy and appreciation of the originals. You've made an old English guy smile, thank you!

[kaylawilliamsmusic]

@airager AW thanks so much! I'm glad you like them! :D

[rmannor]

Kayla - You've done a wonderful job on all of your covers. Absolutely Lovely!!! I imagine every male Beach Boys fan has proposed to you by now. :)

[kaylawilliamsmusic]

@rmannor Thanks so much! And yes, haha, actually a lot of them have! LOL

[beachspud]

Amazing----wow---thank you Kayla!

[smootian]

Simply awesome! LOL: Safe from the people/City filled with people. Must be that good ear. I have spent most of the morning listening to your covers...especially The Beach Boys covers. Great job inserting the Smile "Holiday" into the mix. You are a great talent.

[warcat69]

[kaylawilliamsmusic]

@RonPal1017 Thanks! I do love Wonderful, it's on my list! :)

[RonPal1017]

Wow! Great job! I really enjoy your singing! Especially the 20/20 stuff! As someone requested above (or below), I too would love to hear your cover of "Wonderful".

[AJFOne]

Wow. Not only are you covering my favorite obscure Beach Boys tunes but you do them so well. Bravo Kayla!!! Perhaps a request is in order. Wonderful, Wind Chimes, Leaving this Town???

[kaylawilliamsmusic]

@daveyuke YES! thank you :)

[alvarosarco]

Beautiful, thanks!!! =)

[marksnelson]

I'm guessing you probably weren't even born when the Beach Boys recorded this song but it is apparent that you have a love for their must. Great job!! You are very talented.

[wfram1977]

Very cool. One of my favorite Beach Boys songs. You do it justice for sure.

[BeachBoysFan23]

Fantastic!! I love it and I have always loved this song. You have a beautiful voice. I have a Beach Boys tribute group and we will be performing this song

[saschi74]

I love it so much............

[bobareebop]

Nice job Kayla! Love it. Yes, Carl would be proud.

[AllThisIsThat]

This is an impressive version of a terrific treasure -- and done in the style that pays homage to the great Carl Wilson. Thanks very much, great job.

[AllThisIsThat]

Kayla, just watched your other vids and they are really good. I liked FOREVER & VEGETABLES a lot -- but absolutely went crazy for LET THE WIND BLOW, including the terrific keyboard work that was so authentic. Please keep 'em coming. Have you ever thought about doing "Wonderful"? I think you would be awesome laying down the multiple layers of that song.

[CDH41057]

Such a beautiful voice, she has! She sounds so natural and sings like it's no effort at all!

[musicman5709]

Love this version Kayla ! Tim D . 6.13.10

[musicman5709]

This is FABS ! I love this song from 1968 , as Carl did a great version and I've heard some other versions and were not as good , but as a Beach Boys ' xpert , this would

make Carl proud ! Way 2 Go , Kayla ! Tim D. 6.13.10

[kaylawilliamsmusic]

@musicman5709 Thanks so much!!!!

[Dunadan69181]

Wow... I'm really impressed! Just love the way you've arranged and sung two of my absolute faves of Brian and his Californian gang - brillant! Actually, I didn't think that there was a woman out there feeling the same way about the beauty of theses Beach Boys songs as I do - so far, any of my girlfriends would rather start laughing when it comes to the high vocal arrangements that getting in some romantic mood :) Thanks for sharing this with us...

[kaylawilliamsmusic]

@Dunadan69181 Thank you SO MUCH for your comment! I really do love the Beach Boys and I am so glad you appreciate my covers!!

[bluebeetle585]

Wow! Terrific voice, super version, and great video! Just discovered your music and am enjoying listening and watching it all!

[kaylawilliamsmusic]

@bluebeetle585 THANK YOU!!! Thank you so much for commenting!

[thibodo]

Kayla, keep it up girl. You are terrific. Put out an album! You are the real thing. Love what you do! E.

[kaylawilliamsmusic]

@thibodo I HAVE an album out!

You can preview and buy it here :D

[RobbiesVideoArchives]

Amazing. And now you've got me thinking of other lesser-known Brian songs you could do. How about "Guess I'm Dumb"?

[kaylawilliamsmusic]

@RobbiesVideoArchives Thanks for all your comments! Yes I love 'Guess I'm Dumb', one of my favorites that I think they should have kept. Would be a great cover ;)

[oldstuff]

Top notch cover!

[AllenOption8]

Please, try what you say - Please Let Me Wonder - just a classic - go for it. This is a simple and superb capture of TTGA. Tremendous. LOVE the simple beauty of the background vocals. You HAVE to listen to it repeatedly. The tag - also wonderful. YaY KW.

[kaylawilliamsmusic]

@AllenOption8 Ya I would love to do that one!

Thanks so much for your comments!!

[iferraro]

Really wonderful job on this BB's classic. You do Brian Wilson justice with your beautiful versions of his compositions.

[itwiz25]

I keep listening to this over and over again!! :) Lovely!!!! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!! :)

[itwiz25]

Wow wow wow - great singing and playing!!! I hope that you get to sing with the maestro himself!!!! :) Please give us some more BB songs - love your voice!!! :)

[ChillyBilly4ever]

A sweet, beautiful rendering of one of my all-time BB favs that sounds fresh and modern. Would love to hear you do a version of Wild Honey!

[BB45s]

You have a good insight into the hidden gems in the Beach Boys catalog! Time To Get Alone, along with your other covers (Vega tables and Let The Wind Blow), are all faithful to the originals but add your personal touch. Bravo!

More to come?

Considering Break Away? Add Some Music? Please Let Me Wonder?

[AllenOption8]

@BB45s

Yeah - Break Away would be great but Please Let Me, wow - that's one to do up.

[wcassady]

Wow, Great job!

[jeroen1]

[justinplank]

NICE, you used the version from Hawthorne CA

[kaylawilliamsmusic]

@justinplank I did indeed ;)

[justinplank]

This is FANTASTIC! I love hearing a woman's voice sing one of my fav beach boys tunes...You should cover all your top 10 that you posted here, I'd love to hear it. This is honestly one of my top 5 favorite beach boy songs.

[kaylawilliamsmusic]

@justinplank THANK YOU! and I actually on my own have covered all but 2 of that list..but you're right! Over the next while I will try and get to as many as possible. It's just so much fun dissecting these amazing songs and I could just do them all forever! Theres just no music like it ;)

[meldoys]

its amazing that you can hear, understand, and replicate the complexities of a harmony filled song like this. Great job.

[kaylawilliamsmusic]

@meldoys aww thanks darlin'!

[Brent29Hockey]

perfect!

[fasterthanbolt]

Great job, Kayla. I'd like to know your top 10 . I also love this song, but after having listened to it a billion times, I have to say, now, it is not in my top 10. But still consider it a great one. Love the harmonies. You are really cool.

[fasterthanbolt]

@kaylawilliamsmusic Well, I have to say that your top 10 is great. Ok let me think about my top 10. Very hard to say, but I'll try in no specific order: -I just wasn't made for this time -You still believe in me -I'm waiting for the day -Aren't you glad -Heroes and villans -Wild honey -Wind chimes -With me tonight -Little bird -Surf's up -Till I die -Don't go near the water

[kaylawilliamsmusic]

Good stuff, I love them all to especially Till I die.

SO hard to choose a few of so many great songs!

[fasterthanbolt]

@kaylawilliamsmusic

Yes, I've already noticed that you like SURF'S UP album. Well, drawing up this top ten I first wrote down 20 songs and than started to delete them. But it was to hard to delete those songs so I stopped at a top 12.  :-)

[DaddyBog]

I'll be waiting for you to do " I can hear music"

[metrofurs]

Beautiful and right on tune......like your cat !

[BustardBuzzard]
