There should be a separate thread devoted to late-era Beach Boys madness. “Love You” in particular is my favorite album because Brian’s voice was just ravaged by cocaine at that point. From start to finish, it’s an unsettling record but one track in particular stands out. It’s not “bad” in the sense that it isn’t quality but it’s a weird ballad he wrote at the time with his wife while they were on the verge of divorce and it’s a difficult listen for a variety of reasons.
For some reason when he sings
“take your time, don’t worry how you feel because you know we’ve got forever…
maybe I’ll come up with some idea and you’d think that I was clever”
I just fall to pieces. I don’t know why.
