Brian Wilson. Some 10 00:00:38,885 --> 00:00:41,284 Speaker 1: of you, he depends on how old he was. Brian Wilson. 11 00:00:41,324 --> 00:00:44,044 Speaker 1: You might not remember the name, but Brian Wilson will 12 00:00:44,085 --> 00:00:46,805 Speaker 1: re be mended as the most important I think pop 13 00:00:46,885 --> 00:00:50,085 Speaker 1: music genius of our times. I mean, oh my god, 14 00:00:50,125 --> 00:00:52,525 Speaker 1: the Beach Boys, there are so many great songs. This 15 00:00:52,565 --> 00:00:54,525 Speaker 1: morning before the show, we were putting the show together 16 00:00:54,565 --> 00:00:57,245 Speaker 1: and we heard the news that Brian Wilson had passed away. 17 00:00:57,405 --> 00:01:00,285 Speaker 1: We found these amazing isolated vocals. You remember on the 18 00:01:00,325 --> 00:01:02,285 Speaker 1: early days of the show, Rio, we used to do 19 00:01:02,325 --> 00:01:05,244 Speaker 1: this every single week. Would I play it an isolated vocal, 20 00:01:05,525 --> 00:01:07,524 Speaker 1: which is a song, but it's just a vocal track, 21 00:01:07,805 --> 00:01:10,084 Speaker 1: and we would listening to the isolated vocal about two minutes. 22 00:01:10,085 --> 00:01:12,805 Speaker 1: Then we played the song. Most people would say that, 23 00:01:12,885 --> 00:01:16,165 Speaker 1: actually the song isn't as good as the isolated vocal, 24 00:01:16,245 --> 00:01:18,125 Speaker 1: but you would always hear the song in a better way. 25 00:01:18,365 --> 00:01:21,125 Speaker 1: We've got good vibrations, and God only knows the isolated 26 00:01:21,205 --> 00:01:22,885 Speaker 1: versions of those who play to you today as well. 27 00:01:23,165 --> 00:01:25,445 Speaker 1: But it was the Pet Sounds as an album that's 28 00:01:25,485 --> 00:01:27,565 Speaker 1: really dear to my heart. When I was seven, I 29 00:01:27,605 --> 00:01:30,565 Speaker 1: got this tape recorder that my mum got me, and 30 00:01:30,605 --> 00:01:32,245 Speaker 1: that was the first album I ever heard. 31 00:01:32,325 --> 00:01:33,725 Speaker 2: Oh wow, And I didn't know anything. 32 00:01:33,765 --> 00:01:35,525 Speaker 1: I was seven. I had no idea what the Beach 33 00:01:35,565 --> 00:01:37,845 Speaker 1: Boys were, didn't even know where they were in the world. 34 00:01:38,125 --> 00:01:41,285 Speaker 1: But all I know is there were these lovely, beautiful songs. 35 00:01:41,325 --> 00:01:43,005 Speaker 1: Some of them are already sad, and some of them 36 00:01:43,005 --> 00:01:46,365 Speaker 1: are really really would just vibe you up like good vibrations, 37 00:01:46,405 --> 00:01:49,605 Speaker 1: and God only knows is quite sad. And also years 38 00:01:49,645 --> 00:01:51,845 Speaker 1: ago I was interviewing Paul McCartney and I was talking 39 00:01:51,845 --> 00:01:53,925 Speaker 1: about the most important albums in the world, and he 40 00:01:53,965 --> 00:01:56,405 Speaker 1: was said, there's only one. There's only one important album 41 00:01:56,445 --> 00:01:58,885 Speaker 1: in the world, and that is Pet Sounds. Well from that, 42 00:01:59,205 --> 00:02:01,205 Speaker 1: he goes, I literally remember when we all were the 43 00:02:01,245 --> 00:02:03,445 Speaker 1: band all heard it. We kept playing it back and 44 00:02:03,485 --> 00:02:05,605 Speaker 1: back and back, and we were saying, we need to 45 00:02:05,685 --> 00:02:06,725 Speaker 1: really up our game. 46 00:02:07,165 --> 00:02:07,965 Speaker 3: Imagine you're in. 47 00:02:07,925 --> 00:02:10,644 Speaker 1: The beat and you're saying to each other, we need 48 00:02:10,685 --> 00:02:13,125 Speaker 1: to up our game. And that was the impact of 49 00:02:13,165 --> 00:02:16,285 Speaker 1: the Beach Boys. But the Beach Boys is Brian Wilson. 50 00:02:16,365 --> 00:02:19,285 Speaker 1: He was like the Stonemason and the architect of not 51 00:02:19,325 --> 00:02:23,045 Speaker 1: just the Beach Boys, but he literally created pop music. 52 00:02:23,365 --> 00:02:25,685 Speaker 1: No matter what pop music you enjoyed today or from 53 00:02:25,725 --> 00:02:28,125 Speaker 1: the eighties or nineties, you know, and the impact on 54 00:02:28,165 --> 00:02:32,045 Speaker 1: the Beats, but it all flows down from King Brian Wilson. 55 00:02:32,725 --> 00:02:36,565 Speaker 2: Christian O'Connell show go on podcast. 56 00:02:36,205 --> 00:02:39,045 Speaker 1: What the really Sad news about the genius, the greatest 57 00:02:39,085 --> 00:02:42,045 Speaker 1: genius that ever being pop music Brian Wilson's passing. It 58 00:02:42,125 --> 00:02:44,005 Speaker 1: is also a good reason to remind us of the 59 00:02:44,085 --> 00:02:46,805 Speaker 1: music that he leaves behind that will be around for many, 60 00:02:46,845 --> 00:02:50,405 Speaker 1: many more generations to enjoy. Listen to Pau McCartney. This 61 00:02:50,445 --> 00:02:52,565 Speaker 1: is a young Pau McCartney talking about the influence of 62 00:02:52,685 --> 00:02:54,725 Speaker 1: the Beach Boys and Brian Wilson. 63 00:02:54,965 --> 00:02:58,605 Speaker 3: The big influence was Pet Sounds Beach Boys. That was 64 00:02:58,645 --> 00:03:00,765 Speaker 3: the album Flipped Me. It still does actually still one 65 00:03:00,805 --> 00:03:03,245 Speaker 3: of my favorite albums of all time, just because the 66 00:03:03,325 --> 00:03:06,245 Speaker 3: musical invention on that is like wow. But that was 67 00:03:06,285 --> 00:03:08,205 Speaker 3: the big thing for me. I just thought, oh damn, 68 00:03:08,565 --> 00:03:10,245 Speaker 3: this is the album of all time. What the hell 69 00:03:10,285 --> 00:03:13,565 Speaker 3: are we gonna do? So my ideas took off from 70 00:03:13,605 --> 00:03:15,725 Speaker 3: that standard. I wanted to do stuff beyond that. 71 00:03:16,085 --> 00:03:18,565 Speaker 1: Isn't it amazing just that the Beatles, Paul McCartney a 72 00:03:18,645 --> 00:03:22,085 Speaker 1: visionary himself being humbled by the greatness of the Beach Boys, 73 00:03:22,125 --> 00:03:25,204 Speaker 1: and Brian Wilson. Okay, so we're gonna play a couple 74 00:03:25,205 --> 00:03:27,565 Speaker 1: of songs. We've played Surfing USA an hour ago. I'm 75 00:03:27,605 --> 00:03:29,325 Speaker 1: about to play wouldn't it be nice? And then at 76 00:03:29,325 --> 00:03:32,285 Speaker 1: eight this morning, going to play good Vibrations. Before we 77 00:03:32,325 --> 00:03:35,485 Speaker 1: play the songs, I'm going to play an isolated vocal 78 00:03:35,685 --> 00:03:37,685 Speaker 1: and this is where it's the music all stripped back 79 00:03:37,965 --> 00:03:41,325 Speaker 1: and you'll hear just the harmonies of Brian Wilson and 80 00:03:41,405 --> 00:03:45,245 Speaker 1: his brothers. And I found this quote I remember months ago. 81 00:03:45,245 --> 00:03:48,325 Speaker 1: I found this quote from a Brian Wilson interview. Happened 82 00:03:48,365 --> 00:03:51,285 Speaker 1: to be reading early on, this is Brian Wilson. Early on, 83 00:03:51,365 --> 00:03:53,805 Speaker 1: I learned that when I tuned the world out, I 84 00:03:53,965 --> 00:03:57,085 Speaker 1: was able to tune into a mysterious God given music. 85 00:03:57,125 --> 00:03:59,645 Speaker 1: It was my gift and it allowed me to interpret 86 00:03:59,685 --> 00:04:03,805 Speaker 1: and understand emotions I couldn't articulate. Isn't that incredible? This 87 00:04:03,845 --> 00:04:06,085 Speaker 1: is the closest thing I think we have to the 88 00:04:06,205 --> 00:04:08,805 Speaker 1: voice of God. When you hear the harmonies of the 89 00:04:08,845 --> 00:04:10,085 Speaker 1: Wilson brothers. 90 00:04:10,085 --> 00:04:18,365 Speaker 3: A happy times together. I wish every kist was inver. 91 00:04:20,325 --> 00:04:21,445 Speaker 2: Who wouldn't it be? 92 00:04:23,565 --> 00:04:26,845 Speaker 1: Let's played the song now rip Brian Wilson, gom had 93 00:04:26,844 --> 00:04:29,205 Speaker 1: never forgotten. Five minutes past seven, Good Morning. 94 00:04:32,044 --> 00:04:35,805 Speaker 2: The Christian O'Connell show podcast. 95 00:04:35,325 --> 00:04:37,845 Speaker 1: Big News Today, music can actually bigger. The Music News 96 00:04:37,964 --> 00:04:40,205 Speaker 1: is the partner of Brian Wilson at eighty two, a 97 00:04:40,364 --> 00:04:44,044 Speaker 1: musical genius and literally the godfather of pop music. He 98 00:04:44,245 --> 00:04:48,165 Speaker 1: created the whole genre. In two thousand, Poor McCartney said, 99 00:04:48,164 --> 00:04:51,885 Speaker 1: pau McCartney inducted Brian Wilson into the Rock and Roll 100 00:04:51,924 --> 00:04:54,804 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, and I found some of the words 101 00:04:54,804 --> 00:04:56,804 Speaker 1: he said, these are amazing, but bear in mind they're 102 00:04:56,804 --> 00:05:00,604 Speaker 1: coming from a genius himself, Paugh McCartney. Brian Wilson wrote 103 00:05:00,645 --> 00:05:02,645 Speaker 1: some of the music that when I played it, it 104 00:05:02,724 --> 00:05:04,805 Speaker 1: made me cry and I couldn't never work out why 105 00:05:05,044 --> 00:05:07,404 Speaker 1: it wasn't necessarily the words or the music. There was 106 00:05:07,484 --> 00:05:10,164 Speaker 1: just something so deep buried in it. There are certain 107 00:05:10,205 --> 00:05:11,964 Speaker 1: pieces of music that can do this to me and 108 00:05:12,044 --> 00:05:14,284 Speaker 1: just reaches right down on us. I think that's the 109 00:05:14,364 --> 00:05:16,525 Speaker 1: sign of great genius to me, to do that with 110 00:05:16,645 --> 00:05:19,364 Speaker 1: a bunch of words and a bunch of notes. How 111 00:05:19,364 --> 00:05:22,085 Speaker 1: does someone do that? This man, Brian Wilson, deserves to 112 00:05:22,125 --> 00:05:24,004 Speaker 1: be in the Hall of Fame, that's for sure. So 113 00:05:24,085 --> 00:05:26,244 Speaker 1: thank you, sir for everything you've done for me, for 114 00:05:26,325 --> 00:05:28,724 Speaker 1: making me cry, for having me do the thing you 115 00:05:28,804 --> 00:05:31,605 Speaker 1: do with your music. You just put those notes and 116 00:05:31,685 --> 00:05:35,044 Speaker 1: those harmonies together, stick a couple of words over the 117 00:05:35,044 --> 00:05:37,605 Speaker 1: top of it, and you've got me.
