"In A Beach Boy's Song" a Hook original

[Hook]

Here's another for DIYFEST. Completely inspired by Gritters comment on Hooper's "Don't Worry Baby" https://songcrafters.org/community/index.php?topic=7351.0  where he said "I so wan't to Live in a Beach Boy's Song" and that really struck a chord in my head. I've been working on this since Tuesday, I miss heving the time to finish a tune in one session. All the tracks were recorded on the 004 through the ps-02, vocals also through the ps-02 mic w/vocal preset, except bass track which was done on the br900. It was mixed and mastered on the br.
9 total tracks and I should say that I did not set out to, try to or actually accomplish anything remotely like a Beach Boys song, it's all Hook!
1 chorus uke
1 bass
1 minty coin drums
1 ukussion
2 lead vocals
3 harmony vocals (in the bridge)

"In A Beach Boy's Song"
written & performed by Hook
Rogue baritone Uke, Peavey Bass, Eclipse mints (metal container)

I live by the water
Near  the Gulf of Mexico
We go our share of farmer's daughters
On the West Coast of the East Coast

             I wanna live in a Beach Boy's Song
             Hang out with you by the water all day long
             Let responsibility float away into the sea
             Just to live inside their perfect harmony

I feel the breeze as it blows
I feel the sand underneath my toes
We don't need no waves, our waters nice & calm
In the West Coast of the East Coast

               I wanna live in a Beach Boy's Song
               Drive in my little deuce coupe all day long
               Let responsibility drift away like a balloon  
               Pickin up good vibrations from their tune

This task that I embark on
A form of art perfected by crafters years ago
(*) "unbending, never ending tablets of time"
Documenting my thoughts from the East Coast of the West Coast

                 I wanna live in a Beach Boy's song
                 Flippin' bottles with Tom Cruise all day long
                 Let responsibility be something you never know
                 I'm sure somehow will get used to Kokomo

                 I wanna live in a Beach Boy's Song
                 Drinking Mai Tai's with Mike Love all day long
                 Let responsibility fly away in the wind
                We'll use a looper so the song will never end

I live by the water
Just waiting for you to press play

* is a quote from The Beach Boy's song "Feel Flows"

Very cool. Love the use of the mint container, sounds like using brushes on a snare, very subdued yet present at the same time. Man your productions are good as are your performances.

This is just a genius song, Hook!! I loved the lyrics - very laid back both on lyrically and musically!! I feel like I've jumped into a Beach Boys song . Fine!!!

This has been gettin some plays on my phone buddy. This is so freakin kewl... and whatta concept. I've always been a fan of the beach boys and that whole surf rock vibe. The Uke is a perfect match for this Genre... Way to go buddy. This is a beauty.
