Good Vibrations

The Beach Boys

EP 0611966▶ Official video
Good Vibrations by The Beach Boys - Behind The Song

Good Vibrations wasn't recorded — it was built, piece by piece, over months.

Brian Wilson dragged The Beach Boys through four different Hollywood studios in 1966, chasing a sound he could hear in his head but couldn't name. Engineers spliced together dozens of tape fragments until a 3-minute single somehow became a pocket symphony.

Which line off this record do you still hum without thinking?
