    Notes:
      Good example of Brian's assertion that "Dennis' music was as sensitive as anyone's".

      Quite possibly one of Dennis' most moving and evocative vocals.

      At 3:01, listen for the subtle "classic Beach Boys harmonies" which build into a total Wall of vocal harmony and orchestration by 3:31.

      In this writer's opinion, this song and track is better than the more popular "Forever".

      The string quartet at the end sends chills up my spine every time I hear it.
