  • Brian Wilson says....

    From Bruce@21:1/5 to All on Sat Jan 7 13:36:18 2023
    “I remember being blown away by ‘You Won’t See Me” and ‘I’m Looking Through You’ and ‘Girl.’ It wasn’t just the lyrics and the melodies but the production and their harmonies. They had such unique harmonies, you know? In ‘You Won’
    t See Me,’ Paul sings low and George and John sing high. There’s an organ drone in there, a note that’s held down for the last third of the song or so. Those were touches they were trying – almost art music. What was so great about the Beatles
    was you could hear their ideas so clearly in their music.”

    Those are great observations. When did Wilson say this?

    I was curious because he's coherent. Most Brian Wilson interviews are painful to read because he's so obviously fried on mental illness and/or drugs.
