The making of "Wouldn't it be Nice" by the Beach Boys

submitted by doogle

1 decade 5 years ago

Did you know the Beach Boys song "Wouldn't it be nice" has 3 saxophones, 2 pianos, 2 accordions and 2 12-string guitars? Here's the studio recording of the making of this epic song.

Brian Wilson is/was a genius, eh? I think there's so much of his creativity captured there - what a visionary with music.

Wouldn't It Be Nice" is the opening track on the 1966 album Pet Sounds and one of the most widely recognized songs by the American pop group The Beach Boys. It was composed and produced by Brian Wilson

It's so cool when you see how there is actually a complex genius behind something that sounds so simple with just casual listening. I've heard similar sound experiments where they isolate Ringo's drumming on Beatles hits. You very quickly figure out that there were four virtuoso musicians in that one band.

Just stunning stuff!

And now, back to the Beach Boys

Incredible. Consider also the overbearing father, Murray Wilson was making a disaster of things at every turn...
