Brian Wilson's "pocket symphony", the first single from the "upcoming"
Smile LP, which never materialized, perhaps due to the drug-induced atmosphere that produced this song. A cello riff stolen from Brahms, a normally-falsetto lead singer struggling to mimic a generic bassline, a day-trip to overdub heaven, and something called a Theremin. And - here and there - the familiar vocal harmonies of the Beach Boys. A Finest Hour. A song inspired, IIRC, by the sensitivity of dogs.
