Thanks for posting this version of the great Beach Boys classic. The sheet music for the original piano part on "Sail On Sailor" can be found at manymidi.com/sheetmusic.htm - a note-for-note transcription.
voices are nice, music is solid, lyrics sooo wrong. As a beach boys fan, This insults the integrity of the poem and song. Good try, though. The original lyrics make perfect sense for someone going through hell on earth. This poem has several levels and not everyone understands it. The music it composed to sound like ocean waves hitting the listener...to coincide with the poetic lyrics.
You should try singing it with the original lyrics. :)
The lyrics to this song never made any sense anyway so Stevies lyrics fit right in and the guitar piece at the end got the11 thousand hits on this video.............................
"Sail on Sailor" is still a little played Beach Boy song but for us who listen to it all the time I really think its kind of a cult classic and the tune gets in your DNA because its hard to get out of your head. The lyrics are hard to understand because its poetry and it makes the song even more mysterious................................
I thought the laundry list of writers of the song was long enough, but I this piece adds ONE MORE lyricist's name now. Any more writers and we're going to need a book to list them all.
Well done.! Lyrics aside, this is a great version!
