Bad YouTube! Trying to leave and the YT/Brian Wilson algorithm gods delivered another one up, another totally unexpected angle on this song I'd only casually known. A Brian Wilson and family favorite. With the voice Brian envisioned. Duly shared. Happy Sunday.

From the Beach Boys' 25th Anniversary, with Diamond Head/Waikiki behind, here's the voice Brian said was meant to sing this.

Sail on, Sailor - Beach Boys with Ray Charles

Sail on!

So, on a long air flight I had the chance to see this film I'd not heard of, about the great #BrianWilson (Beach Boys, etc.)

For me it was like the magnificent book Glimpses, in which a fictional character gets to hang out with a few stars, including Brian Wilson, in his car, visiting old homes and haunts, etc. In this movie, it's deja vu! Befriended by a Rolling Stone reporter, who has some natural (soothing) therapist chops, Brian talks about the "scary" stuff as well as happy memories, and plays DJ as well as a willing subject for questions and DJ'ing of his host/chauffeur and companion - in real life now!

Anyway, he spoke of his relationship with his brothers, the music scene and California scene, and favorite songs, his own and others'.
And Pet Songs too. One song he singled out as one of the best songs he wrote, a favorite, was this one:

Sail On Sailor

Drive-by song.... (well, sail-by) One might know this song and be unaware of who did it... Beach boys leave the beach and ...

Sail On, Sailor
