Undoubtably the Beach Boys' most underrated song. One of their best, and very few people know it.

We need the whole of the smile album to be animated in this way.

4:16 - end = the most glorious ending to any song, ever. Seriously though, how does the man fucking do it?

I love this song! The Smile Sessions version easily surpasses the Smiley Smile version in my opinion. It easily is one of my favorite Beach Boys songs. But 4:20 in particular… when those strings come in… I get legit goosebumps. I just wish the part was longer.

I love the animated 'Boys (especially Dennis' cowboy boots)! I often try to fathom what a different musical world we would live in if certain members of the band had not gotten cold feet and SMiLE would have been released on schedule in 1967. Just imagine....

I'm so glad people have finally caught on to the genius and brilliance of Brian . Especially in his lifetime . The only rock / pop artist who could be put on the same pedestal as Mozart, Bach and Beethoven . The Beatles were amazing and I'm a huge fan but none of them could do the things Brian was doing back then .

[iconicshrubbery]

Brought tears to my eyes. The Western/Mexican/Macabre aesthetic. The personilization of melancholy Brian... and the Boys. The Yellow Submarine-influenced animation with 1:00 the ship Smile, that would eventually be brought home 38 years late to the port in our hearts.

It's almost heartbreaking to watch and hear this knowing what could've been for Brian :(

[creamween]

Maybe the greatest thing ever recorded.

Heroes and Villains
50 Years Old.
Still my favourite song ever recorded.

[leonardo]

There's a lot of Mexican art and culture here, love it

[noahnewhouse]

the ending to this version is beautiful. this shouldve been on smiley smile.

[StLennyBruce]

If I tell you I'm dyin', come to me with headphones and this song.

It's one of ten songs that's made the whole trip worthwhile.

[TooCooFoYou]

After hearing this song, I felt as though SMiLE would've surpassed both Revolver and Sgt.Pepper's album (both are known for being revolutionary albums of the Beatles) had it been released.

[gentizzy]

Brian was asked recently who said 'you're under arrest.' He said that it was his wife Marilyn's younger sister's boyfriend or husband.

I used to play my older brother's Beach Boy's Greatest Hits album when I was a kid. This was my favourite song then, and it still is now. The vocal harmonies at 3:12 are second to none. Genius

[MrLandlocked]

The song of the year 1967 in France. They "got it."

[johnnyev]

The Beach Boys recorded some truly great singles. This was certainly one of their best.

3:35 this part lives rent free in my head
