The song was first released as a single in May 1971, and did not chart. I worked very hard with him on his performance, which was stellar. There’s that screaming deep guitar which holds the song together and gives it relevancy beyond the first minute and 30 seconds. I wanted to see Carl make something extraordinary.
Carl and I were experimenting with chemicals, and it enhanced that song. I adore the English language so much gave me the opportunity to stretch out. I was trying to tell the tale of life and love that we go through at different times in life. I was writing personal lyrics – love songs with a sense of poetry. Surf’s Up's a masterpiece but it’s also ethereal. That was the first Beach Boys lyric I wrote Carl asked me to have a hand in it. Background Īsked about the song in a 2013 interview, Jack Rieley said: Aside from a few guitar instrumentals written in the early days of the band and collective co-writing credits, the song is Wilson's first solo composition, and he plays all of the instruments himself.
