In Asher's own words, "The general tenor of the lyrics was always {Link without Title} , and the actual choice of words was usually mine. I was really just his interpreter." Looking for a clean break from the by-then famous 'Beach Boys sound' (associated in the public's mind with Surfing and cars) and not wanting to collaborate with any of the songwriters he had previously worked with, Wilson called Asher - an advertising copywriter whom he barely knew - in early January 1966, and within 10 days they had started to write what would eventually become '' Pet Sounds '', one of the Beach Boys' most influential albums. Asher's original draft lyrics for Good Vibrations , replaced by Wilson and Mike Love on the hit single version, were eventually re-recorded for the version released on 'Brian Wilson Presents SMiLE '. |
