    Notes:
      Music track recorded at Gold Star Studios
      Brian on the 1990 CD release of "Pet Sounds". "It's about a guy who was crying out because he thought he was too advanced, and that he'd eventually have to leave people behind. All my friends thought I was crazy to do Pet Sounds"
      This song is an eerie but brilliant summary of Brian's life.
