This was one of my brother's favorite BB songs. My brother passed away suddenly on October 4th, 2011. Listening to this song reminds me of him so much. Great memories of our growing up years together. RIP Randy....
Thanks mate. Methinks this one rivals The Everly Brothers "Sleepless Night" and "Devoted to You" as amongst the best harmonising song. I wonder if my friend Pamela agrees with that.
@bubs101able No offense to you sir, but I dislike today's world too... I wanna go back to the 50's and 60's... I'm almost 19 years old... I have great respect for all the decades, though. God Bless ya.
I grew up with this song out washing my car in the driveway just to attract the girl acrossed the street , and today i still love kareoke it and love singing it thanks guys for a wonderful song...oh and im 48 today
I first started liking Beach Boys when I was in diapers, and have loved them ever since. I remember I used to think Barbara Ann was a song about a baba! XD
One of the great songs from the Beach Boys. Brian at his best writing about teen angst and sadness. I felt this way often at that age. I can relate. No one can create a better or more heartfelt song than Brian except perhaps John lennon.
Apparently this song is about a man that had Schizophrenia. He locked himself in his room because his illness was that bad. I forget a lot of what my gdad said about it. I guess I'll go downstairs and ask him. haha
@clonetrooper978, hey love your message, yes indeed, if you are here to share a positive example, let us know, do you have a dream, are you clear about who you are, I would love to know more :-)
Bian said that when him, Carl and Dennis were younger, they used to harmonize in their bedroom to help get to sleep. 'In My Room' was a homage to that. Appearently, it sounds just like those times. TAKE ME BACK TO THE 60's!!!
Somewhere, Somewhere in this small world there is an artist... Whether the artist is a recently born baby or somebody reading my comments or even if its me, This artist is like a Chosen One who can remake music someone the world needs today and someone Teenagers will look up to, This person can make a difference.
thanks. i had a really crappy upbringing, but a few perks was all the great records i got to listen to when i was brave and smart enough to play them for myself when not hording food, or making sure i had enough water in case the it got cut off. This was one of my favorite songs because it enhanced what i was feeling when i was all alone with nothing but the music player, homemade headphones and most of the world encyclopedia missing volumes z and h. good song.
@neirfane While my upbringing probably wasn't quite as traumatic as yours, though traumatic nonetheless, this music was my safe haven as well...since about 6 years old. No matter how fuct things were around me, this tune, which I consider my theme song, always made me feel wrapped in a warm blanket of harmonic love.....Still does every time i listen to it...
@kevinkmny When it all comes down to it, we are .... Thank you for the comment. LOL> I hope our alein ideals don't dog these people that bad. LOL! ah ha hahahahhahah.
It's sad to think Brian Wilson went from this song to literally spending twenty years in his room. I understand the sentiment. I am a recluse of the first order.
When I hear this song with its achingly close harmony, it's the fall of 1963, junior year of high school. I'm doing my Thursday night homework alone in my room, I'm sweating out tomorrow night's football game, and listening to this song on the 'Mighty 92'-WOKY out of Milwaukee. Got my trusty Masushita 6-transistor radio with the earplug. Kennedy is our President and all is still right with the world except for all of that teenage angst we all had. The song still brings chill up the spine...
Brian Wilson stopped touring in his early twenties,by then the road, live concerts and screaming audiences were too much for the gemini genius,who felt more comfortable literally staying in bed in his room, away from all the noise and riff-raff.His prolific music creativity created and empire with all the trappings of success, but he also viewed it as a monster, and would truly rather live in isolation.
brings back some of my best memories ...hot summer days and cool summer nights and of course ...that special girl made it all magical...thanks for the memories guys and thanks for being in my life, Great music........
Brian Wilson has written some of the best songs in rock and roll. And "The Beach Boys" were one of the only bands to sing acapella with four or five part harmony. Depending if brother Dennis sang too. They were not just one of the best bands in rock. They were also very talented. Growing up with the Wilsons, and Jan Berry was awesome.
This is how we live, all locked away in our little rooms, yearning to get out . . . and then this heavenly music drifts in through the open window and we aren't alone any more ....
Undoubtedly the best version ever recorded. Flawless Wilson/Love/ Jardine harmony. One of the best songs ever recorded. "The Beach Boys" sang this song acapella on "Red Skelton" in 1963. Probably one of the greatest 4 part harmonies ever put together in a rock band. Brian, Dennis, and Carl were phenomenal. Can't forget Al Jardine, Mike Love, or David Marks either.
In early concert performances this song got even louder cheers than the surfing and car songs. Even back then, 63 or 64 I think, Brian Wilson was a superb writer and arranger, the BBs masters of harmony, and they got even better with Pet Sounds, Smile (now happily to be fully released from the groups 67 recordings), Holland etc despite many problems, The Endless Harmony continues x
This song helped millions of teens get through their troubles without the need of drugs or pain. I don't think there are many artist today who can do that.
This is very true but feeling pain and a little drugs this song was the most loving, helping, therapeutic healing that you could go through. At any age in any era.
@kamidarko In the late 60s and early 70s, Brian did every drug under thesun, reportedly spending weeks to months at a time in bed. His overeating supposedly led his first wife, Marilyn, to padlock the refrigerators.
I was raised on this music. Man, I'm not even 16 and this brings back memories... cruisin with my dad, singing along to these songs. I love the beach boys.
Incredible harmony! But I think the Beach Boys' masterpiece was "Good Vibrations." By the way, KC & The Sunshine Band was born in the mid-1970s, in that horrible era known as "Disco", which also spawned the BeeGees and Donna Summer. The 1970s were, without doubt, the most tasteless decade--in every way--in American history...the god-awful clothes, the hair styles, the music, the cars--you name it. Fortunately, the 1980s followed.
The sad thing about people with marginal talent who are merchandised is that they are denied their young years as a "real person." Later, they deal with the reality. I just hope the Beibers of this world say their money while they have it. Yes, the Beach Boys were one of a kind. They relied on REAL melodies and REAL musicianship. Much of what they did was done with limited tracking and very little post-session sweetening.
Two thumbs up for you @Ubercutexoxo,thanks for your comment,i couldn't of said it better...thank god for guys like John lennon,Paul Mcartney and ofcourse Mr.Brian Wilson,for their lyrics and music will forever live in our memory of yesterdays!!
The Beach Boys were pretty darn good. This song was one of their best. I remember it from my high school days when I had a girlfriend named Linda-she was so beautiful and I loved her so much! She liked this song too and on the the extremely rare occasions when the local moldy oldie station plays it I think of her and can't hold back the tears - and I'm 64.
@xicanabolshevik She married someone else and is now the Deputy Director for Voter Registration in Albemarle County Virginia. (Charlottesvile) I still hope she'll divorce him and come back to me but it isn't looking too hopeful.
I don't think one day has gone by in 45 years that I haven't thought of her. I never met anyone who could take her place. Thanks for your interest in such a minor matter.
@40warhawkp that means a lot. As a 20 year old, 64 seems like a lifetime from now, but it will come sooner than I think. I can only imagine hearing hits like this on the radio as a high school student. At any rate, best wishes
When my older sister and my own mother got grounded to thier rooms, they always put in a Beach boys CD and blair the FUCK out of this song. :D Such a great song.
probably you don't need to hear it from another person still congratulations for the taste you have in music.a mans music deflects his soul...p.s. please stop with the bieber comments!!!!it's getting kinda dorky....
@Zephaniah84 That was just stupid.. Wtf does Justin Bieber have do with anything?... If your not going to comment about the song or the band dont comment please.
this song has got me through plenty of bad days <3
@ComeFlyAway1 I think mentioning Justin Bieber is the "viral comment fad" on YT for the time-being until another celeb takes his place.
BTW I loved this song growing up. I keenly felt that teenage isolation and it was good to know enough others felt the same way so that the Beach Boys wrote a song about it. Just sad the song is so short (to fit radio play).
This song is so beautiful. When I left home for college last August, I listened to this song off my Beach Boys Sounds of Summer CD all the time in my room. It made me think of home.
FYI - In 1964 a UFO was sighted off the Malibu coast. It had been sent here by a demonic tribe far superior to our world. When it received the order to destroy Los Angeles, KFI (640 AM) began to play this song. The crew aboard the spaceship intercepted the vibrations and reported the miracle back to base. History was altered. We owe the Beach Boys much more than anyone realizes. This story was related to me by one of the invaders over lunch at the Huntington Library in San Marino, CA on 8/6/91.
Great song. And sorry to get all clinical, but Brian struggled with depression for years and this song really captures that mindset--the longing for an idealized past, the isolation (both real and imagined) and the fear of the world outside of the safety zone of being "in my room'...
@Karateworm His illness may not have become paralyzing until the 1970's, but it was already serious during the Smile sessions in 1967, and there were signs and symptoms even earlier. From what I've read, his Dad was abusive and Brian's symptoms of anxiety and depression go back to his adolescence.
And I don't think I'm being unfair--I see no shame in mental illness. On the contrary I give him additional credit for accomplishing so much while struggling with serious illness.
@misterdeadly1 ..i think a considerable amount on Brian's lasting problems come from the long term use of prescription drugs, encouraged and controlled by Dr Eugene Landy. It's a great shame on that Doctor.
@thesunreport Dr. Landy appears to have abused his position, and his patient, and there's evidence he overstepped his role as physician by becoming a full-time guru/gate-keeper for Brian. But he didn't step into that role out of the blue--Brian was clearly having serious problems before Landy arrived on the scene. As I understand it, Brian is still on psychiatric medications, but he's found the correct drug(s) and dose, which is often challenging when treating mood disorders.
@misterdeadly1 ..there's a great bio of Brian called Catch A Wave..it in it talks about this....due to Landy's drug regime Brian developed some kind of '*****-axia' which is like a nervous system burnout due to prescription drug toxicity, leaving him with those symptoms we see today. I totally agree about his pre-existing issues as well, but Landy's damaging behaviour can't be understated, as it left Brian with a specific medical condition. Landy is dead now I think, I am glad Brian's still her

The Beach Boys were pretty darn good. This song was one of their best. I remember it from my high school days when I had a girlfriend named Linda-she was so beautiful and I loved her so much! She liked this song too and on the the extremely rare occasions when the local moldy oldie station plays it I think of her and can't hold back the tears - and I'm 64.

@xicanabolshevik She married someone else and is now the Deputy Director for Voter Registration in Albemarle County Virginia. (Charlottesvile) I still hope she'll divorce him and come back to me but it isn't looking too hopeful.
I don't think one day has gone by in 45 years that I haven't thought of her. I never met anyone who could take her place. Thanks for your interest in such a minor matter.

@40warhawkp that means a lot. As a 20 year old, 64 seems like a lifetime from now, but it will come sooner than I think. I can only imagine hearing hits like this on the radio as a high school student. At any rate, best wishes

@ComeFlyAway1 I think mentioning Justin Bieber is the "viral comment fad" on YT for the time-being until another celeb takes his place.
BTW I loved this song growing up. I keenly felt that teenage isolation and it was good to know enough others felt the same way so that the Beach Boys wrote a song about it. Just sad the song is so short (to fit radio play).

This song is so beautiful. When I left home for college last August, I listened to this song off my Beach Boys Sounds of Summer CD all the time in my room. It made me think of home.

FYI - In 1964 a UFO was sighted off the Malibu coast. It had been sent here by a demonic tribe far superior to our world. When it received the order to destroy Los Angeles, KFI (640 AM) began to play this song. The crew aboard the spaceship intercepted the vibrations and reported the miracle back to base. History was altered. We owe the Beach Boys much more than anyone realizes. This story was related to me by one of the invaders over lunch at the Huntington Library in San Marino, CA on 8/6/91.

Great song. And sorry to get all clinical, but Brian struggled with depression for years and this song really captures that mindset--the longing for an idealized past, the isolation (both real and imagined) and the fear of the world outside of the safety zone of being "in my room'...

@misterdeadly1 To be fair, his mental illness turned up in the 70s... this was 1963.
Karateworm 1 year ago
@Karateworm His illness may not have become paralyzing until the 1970's, but it was already serious during the Smile sessions in 1967, and there were signs and symptoms even earlier. From what I've read, his Dad was abusive and Brian's symptoms of anxiety and depression go back to his adolescence.
And I don't think I'm being unfair--I see no shame in mental illness. On the contrary I give him additional credit for accomplishing so much while struggling with serious illness.
misterdeadly1 1 year ago
@misterdeadly1 ..i think a considerable amount on Brian's lasting problems come from the long term use of prescription drugs, encouraged and controlled by Dr Eugene Landy. It's a great shame on that Doctor.
thesunreport 1 year ago
@thesunreport Dr. Landy appears to have abused his position, and his patient, and there's evidence he overstepped his role as physician by becoming a full-time guru/gate-keeper for Brian. But he didn't step into that role out of the blue--Brian was clearly having serious problems before Landy arrived on the scene. As I understand it, Brian is still on psychiatric medications, but he's found the correct drug(s) and dose, which is often challenging when treating mood disorders.

@misterdeadly1 ..there's a great bio of Brian called Catch A Wave..it in it talks about this....due to Landy's drug regime Brian developed some kind of '*****-axia' which is like a nervous system burnout due to prescription drug toxicity, leaving him with those symptoms we see today. I totally agree about his pre-existing issues as well, but Landy's damaging behaviour can't be understated, as it left Brian with a specific medical condition. Landy is dead now I think, I am glad Brian's still her
