01 Life Is For The Living - The Beach Boys

From the album "Adult Child" (which was never released and was not copyrighted, so this posting falls under Fair Use)

Written by Brian Wilson in 1977 as a follow up to The Beach Boys Love You, group dynamics prevented it from being released. As a result of this rejection, Brian slipped back into heavy drug usage. The Beach Boys' next album was the hastily-thrown-together M.I.U. Album, a record that Mike Love arranged to take the place of Adult Child, and that Dennis has called ""an embarrassment to my life. It should self destruct. I hope that the karma will fuck up Mike Loves meditation forever."

Adult Child showcases Brian's "smoker voice," the result of years of smoking and drug use.

this is one of the most played songs on my ipod, alot of unrealised great material. Epic song

This vocal is probably Carl Wilson at his worst, and he STILL tears the song apart with that awesome voice of his.
