hollies65 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Duane, you couldn't get through 'Till I Die' once??? I consider this an easy Beach Boys alltime top 5. The lyrics are Brian's most poignant ever ...the harmonies are incredible...the song simply a thing of melancholy beauty! Memebers of EC.com...AM I WRONG?????Here is the song... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcUeSDMll5s&feature=related Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hbecstacy Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Everyone's entitled to their opinion, but I'm lovin' me some "Til I Die." One of BW's best to these ears. So brutally honest about where he was at that time:I'm a cork on the oceanFloating over the raging seaHow deep is the ocean? How deep is the ocean? I lost my wayThat's some pretty good sh%t right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollies65 Posted November 14, 2008 Author Share Posted November 14, 2008 Musically, it's on par with Nick Drake's 'Riverman', as the most melancholy sounding song I've heard...it gives me goosebumps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I agree with Steve. This is one incredible song.Why is Steve talking in the 3rd person? Reminds me of some jock on TV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hollies65 Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 It's an excellent album...'Till I Die' and 'Disney Girls' are bonafide CLASSIC songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elle4ec Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 While I won't argue that the lyrics are "poignant" and touching, I'm afraid if I listened to this "melancholy" song too many times- I might have to be placed on "suicide watch"..."Till I Die" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
