Musical Taste - ’Til I Die - The Beach Boys

Track Details

’Til I Die performed by The Beach Boys (1971)
Composed by Brian Wilson
Recommended by Genza [profile] on Friday 3rd January 2003

What a song. No time for breathing - because we're straight into three phases of soaring harmonies and choppy Wurlitzer piano chords. As your spine tingles get prepared for the cyclical refrain that brings the song to its climax. We're talking beauty defined.

22 Jun 05 ·sok186: After being pushed and pushed to make more music for the Beach Boys, Brian contributes his last major composition. It's always seemed to be his way of saying,"This is why I can't keep making music, and I need to go away for a while, because this is what I feel." Easily essential listening.
