I listened to this on a 45 rpm (the flipside of Good Vibrations) over and over again when I was a teenager. Absolutely beautiful and perfect for meditating and daydreaming of laying on a tropical beach....forever..........AHHHHHHH!
I would like to make y'all aware that there is a new publication being issued which contains literally thousands of YouTube comments. It's called 'You Are A Tube!' compiled by Steven Fried PLC.
lol. try to hum the melody of this song. there's like four different things going on at once, and the best part is that it all fits together perfectly. amazing song.
I remember this as the "B-Side" of "Good Vibrations". And I may be the only one says this--but I found this far more interesting! I sat listening to this track over and over again, marvelling at how that 23 year old kid with the goofy smile on the cover of the "Good Vibrations" 45 single could come up with something like this. This is Beethoven stuff! And the most beautiful song I have ever heard!
Great Song!! It reminds me of "Lonely without You" by Ken Koenig <--- Another great song! Check it out if you haven't heard it yet! Let me know what you think of it too! :)
May I recommend the book 'A Pop Revolution, the transatlantic music scene 1965 to 1969' by the invisible man. The author is a big fan of this fine instrumental.
This song sounds cosmic to me,in particular from 1:33 on.That incredibly simple sounding guitar strum at 1:33 will always be echoing somewhere not on this earth.
@tonyjaffer wow thanks for pointing out. thats beautiful. the reason I look up songs on youtube is for comments like these, i might have never discovered that nuance!
this morsel just capsulizes so much, something expressly "60´s", so textured, layered, as BW only could, bitesized but not superficial, lyricism, unclassifiable, I associate the xylophone too much with lounge music, here it stretches and extends the melody, folks are saying "too short", that would detract from the intensity, thanks for this vision Brian and super session musicians
@snmthecloser People who have "sucks balls" as part of their colloquial vernacular are probably not going to get "Pet Sounds". My advice to you is, stay in school, finish 8th grade, and perhaps your musical horizons will someday expand beyond Insane Clown Posse.
@joe44850 I don't know man. This is my #1 album of all time. I'm 30. I'm an Engineer with 3 degrees, have been married 10 years and have 3 kids from 4-9, and I still use the term "sucks balls", albeit not often, but occasionally. I think it's more the person using the language than the language itself.
So glad my uncle left behind so many great records when he passed in '95. At 23 years old, practically all I listen to is 50's and 60's rock n' roll, beach music and pop. Not a bad thing I'd say!
If you want to see my homemade video for this lovely song, check my channel out. I'm also looking to possibly create more videos for the entire album :).... if you didn't click my link then i hate you... ;)
Not only was most of the music and lyrics 3rd rate on this album, it was sonically inferior to all their other records. Everything is very muffled and buried in reverb. "Wouldn't It Be Nice", "Sloop John B", and "God Only Knows" are the only good songs on the record. Endless Summer, while a compilation album, is still the best album they ever did far and away.
@borgessmorges I agree with every bit of that. This was probably their worst album, although Smiles would give it a run for the money. It's amazing the people who suddenly think this is some great recording now when everyone hated it for the first 30 years it was out.
I loved the Beach Boys, but come on people. Be honest for crying out loud. This album was dismal except for 3 or 4 tracks. The rest is unlistenable. Quit making excuses for it.
@Zardoz99 LOLOLOLOL You're a little stupid, eh? Pet Sounds sucked, as anyone with common sense has recognized over the years. For every dopey magazine writer who was goofy enough to praise this mess, there were 50 who hated it. Brian Wilson was the only one of the Beach Boys who liked it. He was high on LSD when he wrote most of it, and it sounds like it.
@borgessmorges Whoa, Internet tough guy. Pet Sounds has been ranked not only by critics but artisits alike as one the best albums of all time. And other members didn't like it? If it was up to Mike Love they would still be singing all about surfing and cars. I'll take the opinion of the Beatles, Cream, Elvis Costello and Dylan over a brain dead troll like yourself. Clowns like you are easily disposed of.
Nice to hear a pure instrumental number for once!
I don't mean from the Beach Boys (they're awesome!). I mean, in general, in popular music these days! (ok. by "these days", I mean, in the past 20,000 days)
This is so incredibly beautiful - so soulful and deep. Look how many of us appreciate it here - probably all from such varied backgrounds, but we recognize the true genius, and the fact that 2 or 3 minutes can define periods in our lives in a musical snapshot. A static memory forever - proof we were here. We lived this. We lived it and appreciated it with Brian.
tyndall420: Good to hear people stand up for Brain, me included! I just didn't want to go in detail about his life. I know he's not a recluse now but only a period after the death of his father. You've got your facts straight! Didn't mean to bring him down, God no! A true Fan.
Sorry weaselidiotu about my spelling. Drank too much wine! What happenend? You know: Brain lost control after the death of his father and became a recluse.
@AlfredKubrick Thanks for the reply. I am only now discovering The Beach Boys for what a superb band they were. I will read into them when I get the time. This album is very good in all aspects!
@AlfredKubrick That is not true. Murray's death did affect Brian but he was already damaged at that point. The collapse of Smile and the resentment from his own cousin had already taken a toll on Brian well before his dad died. As for recluse. How is he a recluse if he still makes records and tours the world? I saw Brian in 2009 and have tickets for a June show in Toronto. Listen to his 2010 Reimagines Gershwin album. Brian is not a recluse and is currently in great musical form.
Great to hear that so many people think this is a high piont in Brian Wilson's career. I thought I was the only one. It's really Brian Wilson's pinnacle like Karateworm discribes above. It's on the same level as a Burt Bacharach composition! Wish Brian had done more great stuff but we all know what happend. Nevertheless: together with Bacharach he's one of the great composers of the 60's and beyond!!!
Man, that chord that comes around 0:05 (D major/F) is pretty "out there" harmony wise. Brian was really experimenting with some complex harmonies at this time. And I was even more surprised to learn that he arranged this on his own. Love had David Angel, The Beatles had George Martin, The Rollling Stones had Jack Nietzche, respectfully, but Brian had himself. Pretty amazing stuff. I truly love this track.
this is the song to play when your done with the minutae of life. like walking the dog doing the dishes throwing out the trash kissing yer husband douching scrubbing the tile sneering in the mirror loving your life.
A real lesson in chord structure - also if you don't know it, The High Llama's song 'the Goat' (instrumental) does a pretty good job of recreating the feel of this.
Pet Sounds is, and will probably always be my favourite album of all time. This song is the pinnacle of Brian Wilson's vision. It cannot age, it cannot date - it is a timeless masterpiece.
@joecc6 Buy Pet Sounds. Friends. 20/20 Sunflower. Surf's Up and Today... and buy Smile from 2004... Smile is pretty difficult to get your head around, but my god... it is incredible.
dios santo que hermosa musica, no haya nada en la actualidad que me refresque tanto como esta belleza...en realidad, gracias musica y gracias a brian wilson por entregarnos esta pieza maestra. has lavados mis oidos de la basura que existe hoy en dia. ( regeton )
Brian was the Mozart of rock. He is one of the few composers in pop over the whole last century capable of composing music on a level of intricacy and majesty that classical composers have been associated with. Even the two Beatles writers, who were fine writers, couldn't compose with such an ear for music. Nonetheless, Brian had his problems like so many geniuses before and after him. But at least he's still with us.
I think it's always a great thing when a rock band isn't afraid to compose "outside of the box" and go beyond their musical boundaries. Pet Sounds shows the Beach Boys versatility and Brian Wilson's genius. The Who did it with Tommy, Deep Purple did it with the London Symphony, Queensryche did it with Operation Mindcrime, and I'm sure there are other great examples.
@SolidandVoid beethoven didn't produce pop music and couldn't record instruments in the innovattive and sublime ways that brian wilson could. this is a progression-maybe even beyond our time
@dmcguire70 U r awesome man not many people ive met understand that music isnt about competing, its about the love n emotion n connection u have with people and yourself. John Frusciante(old red hot chili peppers guitarist) said somthin like how he thinks musicians r the best role models. n they r because there is nothin negative about music, with music every real great musician is lookin to help u out, not tryin to be better. Unlike like everything else, where everyones lookin to fuck u over
If "Let's Go Away For Awhile" is a regression (mind you, this is pop music a different genre from Mozart, Bach, and Beethoven to begin with)... then what the fuck are we left with today???
You're just a hater... if you don't like it don't listen. Check out MTV i hear that shit is great lol
I don't think so... you can't really compare the two because they're different genres. This is pop music, and I'd say it's pretty damn good pop music.
uyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy i love it song relamente es fantastica
Brian really was a great orchestrator. His change got blown somehow after this. we know that smile would have been the greatest rock album of all tme had it been completed as Brian did 20 years later. love this tune. you'd never known it was the Beach Boys,
@up2space pet sounds is one of the most moving records i've ever heard in my life...and i first heard it in about 1997...it is full of atmosphere and nostalgia and pain - with bits of druggy happiness and self-imposed loneliness....jesus - it is the america we all still dream of here in england...although i think it's long gone.
@uclrichard this has got to be one of the best albums of all times ( not to paraphrase muhammed ali) but anyway thanks for the comment. Is England in the mud puddle like the US now? The US is over, my friend. If England is pretty bad, you know who's to blame. anyway, keep loving this music. self imposed loneliness is good sometimes. just make sure it doesn't ruin your life.
I recall how LET'S GO AWAY FOR A WHILE was on the flip side of GOOD VIBRATIONS 45rpm record. by the Beach Boys. I purchased this about 44 years ago and I could still remember. Thank you for posting this.
Indeed. The Beach Boys really don't get a fair shake nowadays they are known for the early surf/car tunes... Brian Wilson was really a true genius this is the kind of stuff that should be more popular.
Pet Sounds is a masterpiece. Glad you've been turned onto it better late than never! BTW I love your music taste (saw your favs) I'm a huge Soundgarden fan myself, good stuff...
I have always loved this tune, I didn't have Pet Sounds when it came out but I did have it on a B side of a single. It just sends me, takes me somewhere, it's delicious. it's an amazing melody.
I got mesmerized by this composition from its first sounds. It makes me dream... I associate it with a deep nigh, moonlight, streets in some old town where I'd wander, all alone. Something mysterious. It really makes me imagine so much. Such an amazing visualization. "Pet Sounds" instrumental does them same.
You can hear the beginning of Brian starting to implement the "modular" approach to composing that he favored during the following SMiLE project.
There are three distinct movements of this song. It is kind of disturbing to think that part of the whole modular, disjointed approach Brian used in the SMiLE sessions (part of the reason he never finished it) were a reflection of his scattered mindset at the time.
Incredible - I almost feel Brian Wilson accomplished more in this composition that Pink Floyd did in the entire "Dark Side of the Moon album" - can anyone hear "Us and Them" lifted from this?
I like being attracted to the sound of The Beach Boys

Wonderful soul sounds. The world owes BW so much.

I think it's always a great thing when a rock band isn't afraid to compose "outside of the box" and go beyond their musical boundaries. Pet Sounds shows the Beach Boys versatility and Brian Wilson's genius. The Who did it with Tommy, Deep Purple did it with the London Symphony, Queensryche did it with Operation Mindcrime, and I'm sure there are other great examples.

Beethoven beats this by a gazillion times - and he's a couple of hundred years older. This is a regression.

@SolidandVoid beethoven didn't produce pop music and couldn't record instruments in the innovattive and sublime ways that brian wilson could. this is a progression-maybe even beyond our time

@dmcguire70 U r awesome man not many people ive met understand that music isnt about competing, its about the love n emotion n connection u have with people and yourself. John Frusciante(old red hot chili peppers guitarist) said somthin like how he thinks musicians r the best role models. n they r because there is nothin negative about music, with music every real great musician is lookin to help u out, not tryin to be better. Unlike like everything else, where everyones lookin to fuck u over

If "Let's Go Away For Awhile" is a regression (mind you, this is pop music a different genre from Mozart, Bach, and Beethoven to begin with)... then what the fuck are we left with today???
You're just a hater... if you don't like it don't listen. Check out MTV i hear that shit is great lol

I don't think so... you can't really compare the two because they're different genres. This is pop music, and I'd say it's pretty damn good pop music.

I love instrumental. It evokes a long drive on a sunny Saturday morning. Destination unknown. Just watching the seagulls cruising the surf.

Brian really was a great orchestrator. His change got blown somehow after this. we know that smile would have been the greatest rock album of all tme had it been completed as Brian did 20 years later. love this tune. you'd never known it was the Beach Boys,

@up2space pet sounds is one of the most moving records i've ever heard in my life...and i first heard it in about 1997...it is full of atmosphere and nostalgia and pain - with bits of druggy happiness and self-imposed loneliness....jesus - it is the america we all still dream of here in england...although i think it's long gone.
uclrichard 1 year ago
@uclrichard this has got to be one of the best albums of all times ( not to paraphrase muhammed ali) but anyway thanks for the comment. Is England in the mud puddle like the US now? The US is over, my friend. If England is pretty bad, you know who's to blame. anyway, keep loving this music. self imposed loneliness is good sometimes. just make sure it doesn't ruin your life.

I recall how LET'S GO AWAY FOR A WHILE was on the flip side of GOOD VIBRATIONS 45rpm record. by the Beach Boys. I purchased this about 44 years ago and I could still remember. Thank you for posting this.

I finally heard Pet Sounds for the first time last summer.
Awesome album, and this track really stood out for me. It totally has that early 60's vibe.

So somber, so beautiful, so haunting, there is something underneath the surface that is very haunting.

Indeed. The Beach Boys really don't get a fair shake nowadays they are known for the early surf/car tunes... Brian Wilson was really a true genius this is the kind of stuff that should be more popular.
Pet Sounds is a masterpiece. Glad you've been turned onto it better late than never! BTW I love your music taste (saw your favs) I'm a huge Soundgarden fan myself, good stuff...

I have always loved this tune, I didn't have Pet Sounds when it came out but I did have it on a B side of a single. It just sends me, takes me somewhere, it's delicious. it's an amazing melody.

I got mesmerized by this composition from its first sounds. It makes me dream... I associate it with a deep nigh, moonlight, streets in some old town where I'd wander, all alone. Something mysterious. It really makes me imagine so much. Such an amazing visualization. "Pet Sounds" instrumental does them same.

You can hear the beginning of Brian starting to implement the "modular" approach to composing that he favored during the following SMiLE project.
There are three distinct movements of this song. It is kind of disturbing to think that part of the whole modular, disjointed approach Brian used in the SMiLE sessions (part of the reason he never finished it) were a reflection of his scattered mindset at the time.
Strange days they were...
bobshenix 2 years ago 2
Incredible - I almost feel Brian Wilson accomplished more in this composition that Pink Floyd did in the entire "Dark Side of the Moon album" - can anyone hear "Us and Them" lifted from this?
roberhau 2 years ago 41
@roberhau Yes I can hear Us and Them in there, you are right. It's a great song but I disagree with the Pink Floyd comment, but each to their own. :)
