Song Of The Week

'Surf's Up'

Brian Wilson (Demo, 1966)

One of the most amazing melodies ever written, put to some of the strangest, most impenetrable, yet still beautiful lyrics, sung by a genius. An excerpt:

'..Hung velvet overtaken me
Dim chandelier awaken me
To a song dissolved in the dawn
The music hall a costly bow
The music all is lost for now
To a muted trumpeter swan
Columnated ruins domino

Canvass the town and brush the backdrop
Are you sleeping, Brother John?

Dove nested towers the hour was
Strike the street quicksilver moon
Carriage across the fog
Two-Step to lamplight cellar tune
The laughs come hard in Auld Lang Syne..'
