The Beach Boys songs

It is hard to keep a commitment without making sacrifices. This can be seen by looking at a few elements of the movie Radio Flyer’s plot. Radio Flyer, directed by Richard Donner, is a film about two boys named Mike and Bobby, their mother and their abusive stepfather, who likes to be called The King. Mike, as the older child, promises to protect Bobby and help him achieve his goal of escaping from The King. First, Mike and Bobby sacrifice their safety by not telling their mother of The King’s abusive nature to keep the promise of making sure their mother is safe and happy. Then, when The King went to jail, their mother promised the boys would never see him again but wasn’t willing to make the sacrifice of letting The King go. Lastly, Mike sacrifices his time and also faces never seeing Bobby again just to hold the commitment of keeping him safe and happy. These points all prove that one has to make some sort of sacrifice to keep a commitment.…

The Beach Boys are an all-male and all American rock band that consists of five of them. They got together in Hawthorne, California in 1961. The original Beach Boys were three brothers; Brian who was born in 1942, Carl who was born in 1946 and Dennis Wilson who was born in 1944; later, one of their cousins Mike Love who was born in1941 and their schoolmate Alan Jardine who was born in 1942 (was replaced by David Marks before they got back together) grouped with them. Brian was actually the…

The Boy Band If one was to search the definition of The Beach Boys’ what would pop up is a male swimmer or instructor at the beach. The Boys’ album such as “Surfin’” brought a summer sound to California, and it had also set a tone of the California dream. Their other songs such as “California Girls” had put a main focus point on the perfect California girl that people would fantasize of having or being. The way they had made their albums gave teens and adults hopes and dreams, but it also talk…

Ever noticed how quickly time fly’s by? A single day retains only twenty-four hours; ones individual life is contrived up of these single seconds, hours, and minutes. Before it’s even realized that time has passed. How that time was spent is inconsequential. I realized that no matter how that time was used; that day will come to a halt. When it ends there is a series of questions you can ask yourself. In my opinion there is one question that trumps the others. Did I have a positive effect on the…

The song I chose is “Surfin’ U.S.A.”, is characterized by the Beach Boys. I chose this song because of how laid back the tune sounds and makes me want to relax. It’s relaxing because the song reminds me of the beach and the sounds of the waves. In the song it talks about how they will be gone for the summer and to tell the teacher they have gone surfing. The summer always reminds me of the beach and all the surfers in the water. In the 1960’s California was known as the surfing state. The Beach…

Stevie Wonder’s song Sir Duke sounds like it uses the ABBA form. I also hear what sounds lik a wall of sound, multiple instruments in each measure of music. I think the style of music originates from the Motown style. My first impression of Beck’s Blue Moon is that it sounds like the beach boys. Although the lyrics are not about surfing, the musical style sounds like the Beach Boys. It has the distinctive background vocals of the surf music, it sounds like the later music of the Beach Boys…

The Beatles and The Beach Boys are two well know bands from the 1960’s. The Beatles’ album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band and The Beach Boys’ album Pet Sounds were both monumental albums for the bands, in terms of trying something completely different from their normal sound. Although both Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band and Pet Sounds were highly praised and innovative albums for their time. I liked Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band better. I found Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts…

The 1971 performance of “Wouldn’t it Be Nice:” was a well-rounded demonstration of the vocal harmonies used in the music produced by the Beach Boys. Throughout the video, the men go off of one another to produce an astounding harmony. The footage shows a plethora of foot tapping, guitar and ukulele playing, and not to mention the luscious, long, surfer hair look. Unlike common love songs of this time period, Brian Wilson wanted to portray the central idea of teens getting married too young.…
