Little Bird-Beach Boys-Cover by Kayla Williams

[wondermint2]

Greetings Kayla! I would like to suggest a Beach Boys tune that is probably not one you would typically think of as fitting your style - but it's one that I think has a good chance of commercial success. That song is "How She Boogalooed It" from the Wild Honey album. IMO give it a lot of energy almost as a punk rock song. My suggestion would be to keep that cool funky sounding guitar and happy organ riff in the bridge - and have it in the background.

Haunting this is so good, and once again how about Heaven for you to cover next. Dave

Haunting this is so good

very cool cover on this awesome Dennis tune

[jessenbe]

I would love to hear you do "Only With You"....and try to do it without crying!!! ;)

[ChillyBilly4ever]

Love your vocal and how you handle the background vocals! I do miss the video presentations you did for your other gems like Time To Get Alone and I Went To Sleep. I would love to hear you cover Only With You from Holland!

[robertearle2]

(while I still think the song you really should do is the Cryan Shames' "It Could Be We're In Love"... :-)

For the next Beach Boys song, I nominate "Aren't You Glad" (from Wild Honey).

Mid-tempo (which you seem to gravitate to), and not all that much multi-part harmony in their version, so there's 'space' for you to make it your own. Plus it's a great song, from a great album.

Looking forward to the next video!

Great job on Denny's song!

When I was a teen many years ago, I thought the lyrics were "the trout in the shiny brook gave a warm and loving look and told me not to worry about my life".

Your covers of BB songs always go straight to my heart, Thank You!

[kaylawilliamsmusic]

@careyyoung Thanks so much. Hahaha that's awesome. I was just listening to 'The Night Was So Young' and in the second chorus I always thought he said "Sheep is the ride, to hold me tonight". Oh misheard lyrics..

[GregoryOrme]

Great job capturing the feel of the original instrumentation on this one. Vocals are awesome, as always. Since everyone seems to be making requests, I would love to hear "Kiss Me, Baby" or "Please Let Me Wonder" from Today.

[kaylawilliamsmusic]

@GregoryOrme Thank you!

[chadsproduce]

Love all of your songs! Can't wait to see what you will come up with next. Would love to hear your voice command and conquer

Carl Wilson's Heaven ;)

[neilperks]

Great cover as always, particulaly like Dennis's stuff, usually very emotional and sincere. Been a BB fan since the sixties (yes I should be too old to enjoy youtube :-)).

How about a real challenge ? A couple of my offbeat favourites; "A Day In The Life Of A Tree" (original and meaningful, love it) or another Dennis favourite, "Cuddle Up" (you just need to get a symphony orchestera in there :-))

[kaylawilliamsmusic]

@neilperks Thanks, I love Dennis' music. He has such emotional singing and writing.

[spacepatrolman]

@neilperks Sounds great you should do look at your game girl by charles manson and change it to look at your game guy

[ganamede]

This is a great song and a wonderful cover! You did a great job putting this one together! For the contest, put me down for "Everyone is in Love With You"

[kaylawilliamsmusic]

@ganamede Thank you!

[airager]

Another fantastic cover, Kayla! I'd like to see you do "Add some music to your day", I think that the song would give you a challenge and prove your vocal and arrangement skills are second to none.

[marcropper]

Great ! I´m a huge fan of Beach Boys , and now I´m a fan of you, Kayla ! You´re very good and I would like to know more about your work .

I´m from Brazil , and play in a Beach Boys cover band .

Cheers!

[46807nipster]

Oh, Myyyy Wooord!!. Just Wonderful!! I saw them in Dayton in "68" while on spring break, they did the song "Friends" in concert. Something I will never forget. Thank you so much for this! It gave me chills. Which means so much more than "Thumbs Up" or "5 Stars"!

I would love to hear you do "I Know There's An Answer" from "Pet Sounds"! Good luck with the bass harmonica! Ha!

Wonderful Job! Thank You So Much!

Jim

[kaylawilliamsmusic]

@46807nipster Thank you! Nice suggestion! LUCKY! Man I wish I was older so I could have seen them perform back in the day ;)

[earcandy2010]

Oh yeah the contest... ;) "You and I" (the Dennis Wilson song)! Thx! :)

[earcandy2010]

One of my top BB favorites, Dennis's stuff is awesome. Be with me, Cuddle up - the names of the songs speak for themselves... Such a warm person. Thanks for bringing this one to life again... :)

[kaylawilliamsmusic]

@earcandy2010 Thanks so much, always appreciate your comments! :D

[TheWebbedHand]

A beautiful rendition of one of Dennis's first and finest compositions. I reckon you could do an ace version of All I Wanna Do from Sunflower.

[kaylawilliamsmusic]

@TheWebbedHand Thanks! :D

[jrsn2music]

Love this song! Love your cover of this song! I grew up with his music and it's great to know that it is being discovered by a new generation. Thanks for spotlighting another gem from America' s greatest band! I would love to hear you do "Kiss Me Baby" from the "Beach Boys Today" album. Thanks!!

John

[kaylawilliamsmusic]

@jrsn2music Thanks so much, I hope every generation will come to hear all of this amazing music!

[RobbiesVideoArchives]

WOW, Kayla, I never even dreamed you'd cover this one...one of my all-time favorite BB's cuts. Love the additional harmony parts you wrote. What a treat! I guess it couldn't hurt for me to request "Be With Me", although I think my head might explode if you actually did it.

[kaylawilliamsmusic]

@RobbiesVideoArchives It's such a great tune! Thanks for commenting! 

[g01dfishb0y]

Great, as usual. Though it's not a Brian song, I'd like to suggest one of my favorites, Long Promised Road.

[kaylawilliamsmusic]

@g01dfishb0y Thanks! I read somewhere that Brian was a co-writer but didn't include his name to give the other writers more royalties (?) LOVE LPR!

[DaddyBog]

Nice cover young lady, still would like to hear you do Carol King's, So Far Away. ps/ have fun

[kaylawilliamsmusic]

@DaddyBog Thanks!
