The Warmth of the Sun- Beach Boys- Cover by Kayla Williams

The Warmth of the Sun- Beach Boys- Cover by Kayla Williams

I'm very fond of this BB's tune. Although when I was around 6 yrs old I would always skip past it to hear fun fun fun or I get around. I though this song was sooo slow and boring. Then when I was 14 I cried listening to it. I thought it was sooo beautiful and sad and I didn't remember why I hated so much in those younger years. It's still hits me every time I listen to it.
This was a more challenging song vocally as well. It is fairly high in the 'Aaah' parts and so static in the verses. Holding the note and not going flat was the goal there. I think it turned out decent and I hope you enjoy it.


***** To commemorate the upcoming Brian Wilson concert which I'll be attending on June 25, I am doing a Beach Boys cover each week until the show. I'm also going to run a little contest and the winner will choose the final song for me to record. I will also email the winner an mp3 version of their song!

Here is what you need to do:
Post a suggestion for the Beach Boys song you want me to cover in the comments of this video and upcoming videos. You can also enter by posting on my Facebook page, or tweeting it to me. You can make one suggestion per video release. You can suggest the same song more than once to increase your chances of it being randomly picked. I will have 5 videos (including this one) before the concert and I will record and release a video of the winning song after the concert. Good luck! ***

This is really beautiful, it's great a young lady your age gives recognition to a song like this, you really do it justice.

Wonder if you saw the version by Vince Gill who performed it "live" on the Tribute to Brian Wilson?

Hi Kayla. I really love Warmth of the Sun. I was just trawling nostalgically for real old Beatles greats (If I fell), the late great Gerry Rafferty, Joe Cocker's 'Now that the magic has gone' etc and tried desperately to find Carl Wilson's 'Seems so long ago' but can you believe this masterpiece is nowhere to be found. It occurred to me that you would do this song the justice it deserves. Fancy a go? I'm sure your legion of fans would appreciate it as well as I.

You have talent, if someone say that it's not so he's just jaleous
