'Til I Die

[hdrake1000]

I 'used to think I knew a little about music' until I ran across a CD at Library, Beach Boys Songs Selected by Brian Wilson. I played it over and over but especially 'Til I die' , Caroline No, Warmth Of The Sun, then you have to go back and revisit these songs you think you knew, Brian Wilson is a Savant Genius!

[redsfanstu]

Just a great song, considering the source: WHY NOT?

[Bluebarb1]

So love this.

[glaetze]

Once again, Brian welds the spiritual with the romantic. He weaves them together to bring the listener into a trance. It does it to me every time. He was a local treasure from Hawthorne, Ca., just down the street from me. Sometimes you just don't know where the next world class genious may come from. He or she just might be living right next door.

Pretty much time i got into beach boys was watching this terrific documentary by Don Was on Brian Wilson called "I just wasn't made for these times" Wilson talked about the song and about the worry that the Devil would take his soul and how vulnerable he felt at the time Very profound stuff.

@lakefloor You're welcome!

I love this song so much. This and Surfs Up have to be my favourite songs of all time. You can really sense what Brian was going through at the time. I think his last truloy great tune, (not to say he hasn't done great songs after this).

Great video. Thankyou

You're welcome, and thank you! :)

[lakefloor]

oh my God! You are so right! It is this song and Surf's Up for me as well. This definately penetrates deep within like a warm blanket around your soul. Brian created the most beautiful song about such a humble awareness. I could just die listening to it.

[SnuffyWuffles]

Let it be known that I want this song played at my funeral...which won't be planned, of course...unTil I Die.

[robinbirkw]

ditto

[serenagel]

A classic! I love this song and its harmonies, starts out soft then builds up to a creschendo of emotion; "these things I'll be untill I die"-wow! check out the instrumental version it will trully blow your mind!-off the Endless Harmony cd track 21.

[embran]

i always thought that this track will be perfect with some vocals solos/ harmonies (you know - in typical beach boys style) at the end of the song last about minute. Like a symbol of crying and dying. Anyway it's still flawless

This is BEAUTY...

[photo2010]

Agree :)

[drumaddict0]

This is Beauty

[jhrunion]

this is beautiful...i wish the code were still embedded so i could share it. john

[maida1982a]

Only a person without an ego, and pure of soul and spirit, could have written and expressed this. Brian is that person. And there are very few in the world, in the history of the world, who fit that description. Van Gogh was another.

[stumptacular]

im not so sure van gogh was a pure a spirit as Brian Wilson, I mean Van Gogh drank Absinthe, chased prostitutes around and cut his ear off when one rejected him. Brian Wilson seemed to keep his inner child and still seems to have it. i love Van Gogh but Brian Wilson is the best... depending on who u read van gogh either sold one or zero paintings in his lifetime. Brian was a star by the time he was in his 20s. He is more of a Leonardo da Vinci, or a Michelangelo than a Van Gogh :) :) :) :)

Best comment I've ever read on youtube

[sir60man70]

This may sound dumb....but what is that in the video?

[photo2010]

The visual is the moon through the trees outside my window.

[sir60man70]

I see...thanks

[avmoderator]

My favorite Beach Boys song of all time!

[stluno]

The unbearable bleakness of the lyric is miraculously transformed by the sublime melody such that the resulting whole is irresistible and transporting. This must have come to Brian Wilson as the resolution of an unimaginable time of suffering, and it's incredible that he was able to grasp it and offer it to the world.

[photo2010]

Wonderful comment. Expresses my feelings perfectly.

[georom]

This song is a prayer...thanks Brian (& Photo!)

[Patriarhio]

God bless Brian!Still alive...and kicking!!!

[internetcoward]

One of the greatest songs ever written about being so worthless and tiny.

[miniskirt69]

A truly lovely song.

[Raughwe]

Al and Carl are fantastic on this.

[Patriarhio]

This song is ME!Tears in my eyes!Thanks...
