And Your Dream Comes True
"And Your Dream Comes True" is an a cappella song written by Brian Wilson and Mike Love for the American rock band The Beach Boys. It was released on their 1965 album ''Summer Days (And Summer Nights!!)''. Background On July 7, 1963, Wilson filed a copyright for a song tentatively called "Baa Baa Black Sheep" with a melody based on the nursery rhyme. The song later became "And Your Dream Comes True". Even though the song is just over a minute long, it was recorded in five sections (each one double-tracked) and edited together. '' Hawthorne, CA'' features part of the recording process of this song (the track "Wish That He Could Stay") as well as a stereo version of the song. "And Your Dream Comes True" is one of two songs from ''Summer Days (And Summer Nights!!)'' never performed live by The Beach Boys (the other being " Girl Don't Tell Me.") However, the song has been performed live by Brian Wilson several times. Personnel *Al Jardine – vocals *Mike Love – vocals * Brian W ...

The Beach Boys
The Beach Boys are an American rock band that formed in Hawthorne, California, in 1961. The group's original lineup consisted of brothers Brian, Dennis, and Carl Wilson, their cousin Mike Love, and friend Al Jardine. Distinguished by their vocal harmonies, adolescent-themed lyrics, and musical ingenuity, they are one of the most influential acts of the rock era. They drew on the music of older pop vocal groups, 1950s rock and roll, and black R&B to create their unique sound. Under Brian's direction, they often incorporated classical or jazz elements and unconventional recording techniques in innovative ways. The Beach Boys began as a garage band, managed by the Wilsons' father Murry, with Brian serving as composer, arranger, producer, and ''de facto'' leader. In 1963, they enjoyed their first national hit with "Surfin' U.S.A.", beginning a string of top-ten singles that reflected a southern California youth culture of surfing, cars, and romance, dubbed the " C ...

Songs Written By Mike Love
A song is a musical composition intended to be performed by the human voice. This is often done at distinct and fixed pitches (melodies) using patterns of sound and silence. Songs contain various forms, such as those including the repetition and variation of sections. Written words created specifically for music, or for which music is specifically created, are called lyrics. If a pre-existing poem is set to composed music in classical music it is an art song. Songs that are sung on repeated pitches without distinct contours and patterns that rise and fall are called chants. Songs composed in a simple style that are learned informally "by ear" are often referred to as folk songs. Songs that are composed for professional singers who sell their recordings or live shows to the mass market are called popular songs. These songs, which have broad appeal, are often composed by professional songwriters, composers, and lyricists. Art songs are composed by trained classical compo ...

''The'' () is a grammatical article in English, denoting persons or things already mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers. It is the definite article in English. ''The'' is the most frequently used word in the English language; studies and analyses of texts have found it to account for seven percent of all printed English-language words. It is derived from gendered articles in Old English which combined in Middle English and now has a single form used with pronouns of any gender. The word can be used with both singular and plural nouns, and with a noun that starts with any letter. This is different from many other languages, which have different forms of the definite article for different genders or numbers.

Summer Days (And Summer Nights!!)
''Summer Days (And Summer Nights!!)'' is the ninth studio album by American rock band the Beach Boys, released on July 5, 1965, on Capitol. The band's previous album, ''The Beach Boys Today!'' (released March 1965), represented a departure for the group through its abandonment of themes related to surfing, cars, and teenage love, but it sold below Capitol's expectations. In response, the label pressured the group to produce bigger hits. ''Summer Days'' thus returned the band's music to simpler themes for one last album, with Brian Wilson combining Capitol's commercial demands with his artistic calling. Produced by Wilson, ''Summer Days'' reached number two on the US ''Billboard 200'' and number four on the UK Albums Chart. Two singles were issued from the album: "Help Me, Rhonda", which became the group's second chart-topper in the US, and "California Girls", which peaked at number three. Background Carl Wilson reflected of ''Summer Days'', "There was a time when it was uncool to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
