Brian Wilson was the genius behind The Beach Boys. Heâs arguably one of the most gifted writers of all time. He had a mental breakdown for a period of his life and there were stories of a disoriented Brian in the throws of his illness randomly coming downstairs n the miss of the night and playing the most beautiful music on piano his wife had ever heard and then going back to bed. Listen to Rick Rubin (producer of acts like Jay Z) talk about his respect for him.
Brian Wilson is a musical genius who founded The Beach Boys and wrote all their great songs. He went nuts for a while when the pressure got to him.
Delicately said hehe
@@ptrlxc Nah you're thinking of Michael Jackson. Same sort of story though, except the lying in bed part. That part was a lot darker.
Drugs and paedophilla
Heâs talking about Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys. Brian had mental illness issues and at one point was bedridden. Known as a brilliant songwriter, many elevated him to status equal to the Beatles songwriting genius. Michael Jackson had issues as well and thatâs a point well taken.
@@petesmart1983 Brian Wilson was never a pedophile.
Brian Wilson was the leader of the Beach Boys. There was a point in his career that he kinda had some issues and shut down. He was a perfectionist with the music he wrote. I don't think BNLs are making fun. I think they are saying they got a taste of what he went through when they went through a period of "creative drought".
The song is about Brian Wilson who was the singer/songwriter of the Beach Boys. Wilson suffered from a mental breakdown in the mid 60s and suffered throughout the 70s and 80s with depression, drug abuse, and overeating resulting in him being 340 pounds in 1982. But he also actually really loves this song and has covered it live!
It's not "about" him, it's about being "Like" him. It's ultimately about a mental state, he's feeling depressed and there are voids in his life so he's going to do what his Idol do and lay in bed and play music. The music triggers the "pavlovas response" of wanting more so he's off to the late night record store after hiding away all day to get more music hoping it will fill the void.
Another great Canadian band
Canada Rocks...
@@aaronarnold7653 well yea but compared to the USA we donât rock as much thatâs why we make a big deal for our Canadian bandsđ€Ł
@kachoww5981 I'll stand by Triumph, Gordon, Bare naked ladies and Rush...Exit the Warrior...3 years now...I miss him
Brian Wilsonâs daughters, Wendy and Carnie, made up 2/3 of the group Wilson Phillips. The other 1/3, Chynna Phillips, is the daughter of Michelle Phillips of the Mamas and the Papas, so they were all children of some of the most popular artists from the 60s. Brian Wilson was an incredibly talented musician and songwriter.
The song is a commentary on the thin line between creative genius and mental illness.
OMG you guys have reacted to 5 or 6 Beach Boy songs and donât know who Brian Wilson is ? Brian Wilson was the main writer and producer of the band. He along with brothers Dennis and Carl, formed The Beach Boys in 1961 with cousin Mike Love and friend Al Jardine. Brian had life long struggles with mental illness in the past accumulating in a nervous breakdown in 1964 resigned from regular touring concentrating on writing and creating music for the group.In the late 60âs he became a recluse and turned to drugs. Slowly he came back after a long struggle and has been touring as a solo artist since 1999. On top of that he also lost both his brothers. The Beach Boys as a group and Brian Wilson as a musician,songwriter and producer are still considered one of the the best and most influential.
I love these guys! They have a tonne of great songs. Their cover of the song; Lovers In A Dangerous Time is fantastic. Years ago The Ladies played in my home town and my brothers band opened for them. So just for fun my brothers band changed their name for the night to "Free Beer" the sign out front of the bar said "Free Beer with Barenaked Ladies"
Hilarious! I love the quirky sense of humor your brother's band exhibited.
O.G...Beach Boy...cool version...Excellent Reaction...Hilarious
Brian Wilson, beach boys writerđšđŠ
Fun fact: Brian Wilson and BNL met and they played this song for him. When Wilson toured, he actually would open his concert with a snippet of this song. As someone mentioned, check out Love and Mercy with John Cusack. Itâll gibberish you a decent sense of Brian Wilsonâs struggle with depression. Cheers!
I always wondered whether he'd heard it and what he thought of it!
The drooling reference was to Ivan Pavlov, a behavioral psychologist/experimental neurologist. He's best known for his classical conditioning experiments with dogs: by ringing a bell while feeding the dogs, he conditioned them to expect food when they heard a bell, causing them to salivate. In the song, they aren't saying that either they or Brian Wilson are in bed, drooling. Just that they're being triggered in some way.
Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys had a break down, caused by the stress of fame, recording and touring. He dropped out and isolated in his bedroom for nearly 3 years.
There's a 2014 biopic called Love & Mercy that goes into detail about Brian Wilson's breakdown in the late '60s and his gradual recovery in the early '80s. Brian Wilson himself said the film was accurate.
You know if you never know who they are talking about you can look it up in 2 seconds and the confusion is gone
This is full of Beach Boys references and parts of Wilson's life, too, like The Sandbox, which Wilson had installed in his living room, which also held his piano. This is a great song, energetic, but with a bit of melancholy. Just like Brian Wilson.
Steven Page the singer performed this song for us at a work function during the pandemic. As I recall he said he wrote it when he was around 19 (I not be remembering that part correctly). Steven said he was bipolar and this song is about some of the very depressed episodes that he had experienced. Yes, he is references Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys who suffered from severe depression as well. He also is referencing Brian Wilson with the lyric about listening Smiley Smile.....one of the Beach Boys albums from 1967. Not a comedic song at all.....actually it is a very serious song about mental illness.
I had forgotten this one lol. Cool tune.
This is probably one of the best songs I've heard from this time period in music... I really like it and I was born in the 1960's...
I saw Steven Page in concert in the summer of 2021. Such a great voice.
Great song and great group. A excellent follow-up would be their "If I had a million dollars."
I believe they've done that already, I'd suggest Enid or The Old Apartment.
Iâd go with War On Drugs or Tonight Is the Night I Fell Asleep At the Wheel.
My favourite BNL song. I absolutely love Steven Pageâs vocals.
Way back in the last century I saw these guys when they were just starting out and it was a fantastic show. 'What a Good Boy' is another great song by them that really captures what adolescence felt like (for me anyway).
Pavlov's dog experiments played a critical role in the discovery of one of the most important concepts in psychology: Classical conditioning.
While it happened quite by accident, Pavlov's famous experiments had a major impact on our understanding of how learning takes place as well as the development of the school of behavioral psychology. Classical conditioning is sometimes called Pavlovian conditioning.
To summarize: classical conditioning - learning to associate an unconditioned stimulus (food) that already brings about a particular response (salivating) with a new conditioned stimulus (Bell ringing), so that the new stimulus brings about the same response. Meaning, when the Bell rang sounded, the dog would salivate, even without the food being present.
This was perhaps not the best song to start out with for Barenaked Ladies. Especially if you don't know who Brian Wilson is. They had a song about Yoko Ono on the same album who I'm sure you know her. Also "The old Apartment" which was their first hit in the US. Or what "What a Good Boy" which is my personal favorite and very deep. Also their most famous song even though was never a single "If I had $1,000,000" which people will probably be singing along with 100 years from now.
"What a Good Boy" is also my favorite of all their great songs. I tear up everytime I hear it. The live versions are even better.
They've done One Week and If I Had
I would have gone with the old apartment first.
I agree -when I fall
I love $1000.000
This is a song you need to understand the context to maybe appreciate it! It's a song about depression! Musically I think this song was well done perhaps a bit on the dark side!
ooh â„ this song!
Their music is so much deeper then the surface indicates
"Brian Wilson" is a song by Canadian rock band Barenaked Ladies from their 1992 album Gordon. The song was written by Steven Page as a tribute to the Beach Boys' co-founder Brian Wilson.
This their definitive song to tell if you'll like the rest of their catalogue.
The song speaks to those dark times in many of our lives when we just don't feel like there's any reason to get out of bed. It's about when our life's purpose is lost on us, everything seems meaningless, and all our actions seem only to be instinctual responses to Pavlovian inputs. If and when we do feel like that we need to know to seek help because rediscovery and finding enthusiasm again are entirely possible. Don't give up.
Brad once again denser than a neutron star
Brian Wilson sat next to me in grade 3....he had a cool baseball card collection.
What is really great to us is that you really don't know the song you're listening to at all !!.
So great, and so refreshing.
Continue not listening to any song before you heard it !!!đ
The drums on this track are so great
Google can be your friend....
BNL has a ton of great songs. I especially love "Jane" because it reminds me of my wife.
great bass
âThey called me, Eddy!â đđ»
God only knows what Iâd be without Brian Wilson..
I quick Google on "Brian Wilson" will tell you more than 1000 comments here.
In these situations I always ask myself, âwhat would Brian Wilson do?â
WOW there are no words......
I love BNL, thank for doing the Gordon version!
Beach boys, kids. America's biggest group in the pre Beatles craze
Bro this is one of my fav songs rn. So surprised you guys listened to it
Try pinch me by BNL. Keep rockin guy's!đđšđŠđšđŠđšđŠ
I had to look it up to.
Pavlov had the idea that dogs do not need to learn certain things, such as salivating when they see food.
Hey Brad and Lex. I was at a Totonto concert where they played for "Brian Wilson"! He was honored by the song. In Canada, amonsst a generaition of 40 + 50 year olds, they put on an amazing LIVE performance -- and are always personable to their audience. A fun band that pays homage to the bands before them.
Have loved this song since I picked up their EP back in '91 or '92. They've been a favourite ever since, so many awesome tunes. đâ€
Edit: And the way it goes off at the end is totally Thrash. đ€đ€đ€
BNL is and awesome wormhole to dive into so many hits for the Canadian rock and roll hall of famers!!!!!
Very underrated band
The first cd my family ever owned was a copy of âGordonâ, meanwhile our cassette copy spent so much time in our dadâs car, it ended up warped by the summer heatâŠbut we loved this album and all the great songs on it including this one and that cassette got us through many a road trip
You are the best
Tyler Stewart from this band has my birthday.
You should do their version of " God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen"
They have some great tracks
Larry Groce " The Junk Food Junkie" 1976 very funny!
Brian Wilson is the genius behind The Beach Boys. They name dropped a Beach Boys album Smiley Smile and one of their big hits Fun Fun Fun. Brian Wilson had a nervous breakdown and stayed in bed for years. Finally emerged from his depression and made a comeback with the BB in the 70s.
This song took me a couple listens to 'get', but it's one of my absolute favorites by them. "The Old Apartment" is another great one... but they have a *lot* of great songs.
Watch the move Love and Mercy and youâll understand every lyric of this song.
I love BNL, though my favorites are their lesser known songs like Am I The Only One, When I Fall, and Break Your Heart.
You guys should do 'Call and Answer' by them. It's such a beautiful song.
I wish every now and then Brad and Lex would Google at the end of the video and then react to either how close their insights were or how far they were off base!
Their song One Week is my fave. They also sing Big BangTheory which is the theme theme song to the TV comedy of the same name.
Most of the comments touched on this, but yes... this song is hard to understand ina vaccuum. Steven Page (lead singer/songwriter of BNL) had written this song when he was 19, before BNL had even formed. It's a song about depression and mental illness, which Brian Wilson, had infamously suffured from. After his stint with the Beach Boys, he had retreated from the industry. Many stories passed around about what he was up to... many saying Brian Wilson had layed in bed for 3 straight years. Other urban myths claiming Wilson would offer to write songs for other artists in exhange for cheeseburgers, and having a giant sandbox built in his living room, hence the line "If you wanna find me, I'll be out in the sandbox".
BNL typically had a vein of humour throughout a lot of their songs, and this is one of the deeper/heavier pieces. Personally one of my favorite songs of all time.
Very interesting song
"Brian Wilson is the lead singer of The Beach Boys. He went into seclusion after experiencing drug problems and a nervous breakdown, and for about three years, he spent most of his time in bed.
The song is both a tribute to Wilson and a look at his life. A few of the references:
"Dr. Landy" - Wilson's psychologist, who was a constant presence in his life for much of the '70s and '80s.
"Smiley Smile" - A 1967 Beach Boys album that was released as a truncated version of their highly anticipated album Smile.
"I'll be out in the sandbox" - Around the time he was working on the Smile album, he had a sandbox constructed in his dining room and his grand piano placed in the middle. He thought the beach atmosphere would enhance his creativity.
Steven Page of Barenaked Ladies wrote this song and sang lead. He admired Wilson as a songwriter and visionary, and cites the Beach Boys as an inspiration. When Page left the group in 2009, performing this song without him proved challenging. They went with a simplified arrangement with Ed Robertson on lead vocals.
This song helped break Barenaked Ladies in America. It appeared on their first album, Gordon, in 1992 and reached #18 in their native Canada. Over the next few years, they built a small following across the border, and finally made an impact on the American charts in 1997 when "The Old Apartment" hit #88.
By this time, "Brian Wilson" was a concert favorite, with the crowd joining in on certain lines ("record shop!"). In 1997, a live version from their Rock Spectacle album was released as a single in the US and reached #68 in February 1998. Hearing the adoring crowd on the song clued in American listeners to Barenaked Ladies live appeal, and when their album Stunt was released in July, they were primed for Stateside success. The group made a huge push to promote the album in America, playing lots of radio station showcase concerts and expanding their following one city at a time. They brought a catchy new single along for the ride: "One Week," which went to #1 in October (where it stayed for, yep, one week).
The song opens and closes with the same verse, which is about an impulsive late-night visit to a record shop. Brian Wilson embarked on far more unusual adventures, but by writing about a more practical outing, Steven Page shows how Wilson's eccentricities can lead to inspiration. Some may see it as crazy, but it's part of his genius.
Brian Wilson likes this song. He performed it on his 2000 Pet Sounds tour, usually as the opener.
Wilson commented on a Reddit Q&A: "I was honored that they would use my name but it embarrassed me a little bit because I was lying in bed a lot haha."
Wilson's version can be heard on his album Live At The Roxy Theatre.
According to Steven Page, Brian Wilson came by the studio when Barenaked Ladies were recording their 2000 album Maroon, and he played them his version of this song. Page says, "We totally freaked out.""
as if you guys did this. awesome.
Others below have said who Brian Wilson is, but no one mentioned the amazing genetics and talent he passed on to his offspring (7 children). Notable are Carnie & Wendy who went on to be 2/3 of the group 'Wilson Phillips' (Check out 'Hold On' by Wilson Phillis). đ
Thereâs a movie called Love and Mercy about Brian Wilson. Itâs terrible to see what happened to him. He struggled with mental health issues and from the movie, it looked like there was a doctor that was ended up manipulating Brian and exploiting him for his money for years.
The Beach Boys genius Brian Wilson had a mental breakdown during the mid-70s and legend has it that he pretty much stayed in bed for months and months on end and ballooned to 300lbs ,only occasionally venturing downstairs to raid the fridge and play his piano. Dr Landy is mentioned in the lyrics. He was the so-called doctor who took over his life in an effort to get Brian back on track. He almost certainly saved his life but ultimately took over completely and it took the Beach Boys and Brian's family years to gain access to him through a court case to get Landy out of his life (watch the 2014 film 'Love and Mercy' starring John Cusack - an excellent Brian biopic).....Back in the early 2000s the most emotionally affecting concert I have ever been to was seeing Brian and his brilliant backing band play one of a series of historic concerts in London during which the whole of the classic 'Pet Sounds' album was performed decades after his last appearance in England. He began the concert by performing a cover of this song which segued into 'Til I Die' - a magic opening to a long set of Beach Boys classics and 'Pet Sounds'......Listen here: czcams.com/video/bjeWqXyVLu4/video.html By the way, another even more impressive Brian Wilson tribute song is 'Dear Brian' by Chris Rainbow, a bitter sweet song which preceded his rejuvenation and happiness from remarrying and adding to his family by adoption.czcams.com/video/nFlIrsoYxQk/video.html
As your next BNL song I would suggest either Box Set or Break Your Heart.
On Saturday Night Live, Dan Ackroyd and John Belushi did a sketch with freshly recovered Brian Wilson, that was comedy. This song is about being unstable and trying to make sense of things.
Plenty of my fellow commentors have discussed Brian Wilson, now onto Pavlov's drooling dogs. Ivan Pavlov won the 1904 Noble prize in medicine. He is the father of behavioral therapy. In his famous experiment, before he fed his dogs, he would ring a bell. The dogs upon receiving their meals would drool. After conditioning the dogs, Pavlov could get the dogs to drool by just ringing the bell. The dogs now associated the bell with food.
Steven Page is an excellent songwriter
You guys need music books.Nobody knows who Brian Wilson is I never heard of him. Cmon guy!
Gonna recommend Grade 9 and Old Apartment. BNL is talented AF and just plain fun.
Look up Pavlovs dog....look up who Brian Wilson is
Barenaked Ladies are great. I just saw them this fall in Atlantic City. Fun show. They are clever. If you don't know the story of Brian Wilson (Beach Boys), you are probably not going to get the meaning of this song. Try the song "One Week". It's a better intro to the band.
You guys need some cultural references..."Pavlov's Dog" is an expression based on an experiment. It is about associating something someone desires with a trigger mechanism.
This has always been a favorite of mine, and it's one of the BNL tracks that so many people totally sleep on. Next you should check out What A Good Boy from the same album.
I see other explained about Brian Wilson. Pavlov trained dogs to drool on command by feeding them after ringing a bell. it was like 1905 and proved "involuntary" actions responded to repeated stimulus. I have spent 40 odd years assuming the story of the drooling dogs was common knowledge. Guys, sue your middle school. :)
Nice :)
Really in the day they were leterly so cal for that matter one of the biggest Bands in history, if you no you no.
The Bare Naked Ladies performed the theme song to the T.V. show Big Bang Theory.
Look for a movie called" Love and Mercy" with John Cusack and Paul Giamatti
đšđŠ
This is about sixties pop musician Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys who later became a major league pitcher.
wtf
"If I Had a $1,000,000" by Barenaked Ladies.
It's all been done the old apartment one week check these out !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also blues travelers mountains win agian hook just don't stop the reviews so much to learn from emotions are high on these I promise you!
Brian Wilson suffered what today would be called severe depression, back then if you were poor you were nuts and if you were rich eccentric. Depression makes it hard to get out of bed and face life...if like Brian Wilson you don't have to get up you won't.
Brian WIlson had a manager who tried to control him and caused most of his mental health issues leading to him being bed ridden for a long while. The meta thing is that on a recent tour he did an acapella version of this song, so he was singing a song about himself written by someone else
My wife and I have spent 23 years growing up with BNL. We both love their music, but BNL is more than music. These guys are real down to earth and all quick witted. If you see them in a live show you would understand. Every show is different, trust me, Iâve seen them 21 times, including on a cruise where they invited thousands of their closest friends. The wife and I thought we were over the top bnl fansâŠ.. not even close. Their music grows on you in a very different way. The lyrics are not explicit, but they convey a truly deep message to the listener the more you listen. Call And Answer is one of my favorites. The verses talk about how âIâ have taken the relationship seriously and âyouâ have been very flippant and frivolous. The bridge comes in completely blowing that theory to bits when the âIâ asks the âyouâ to come back with the cautionâŠ.. â but Iâm warning you, donât ever do, those crazy messed up things that you do, cause you ever do, I promise you, Iâll be the first to crucify you, now itâs time to prove that youâve come back here to rebuildâŠ..rebuildâŠ..rebuild⊠And the listener gets the picture crystal clear.
These guys were local legends on the college scene and alt rock radio back in early 90's Toronto area. So many hits until lead singer ego took off and he got into cocaine and moved to NY etc.. The band played on with the co-lead singer/guitarist Ed pretty well but the magic was gone preety much. Too bad, they were really unique and fun at the start
If you don't something, it is respectable to Google it.
This is Mental Heslth and Genius.
Buy Pet Sounds, play on a beautiful system.
You are welcome.
Love your stuff
Watch the movie Love And Mercy and youâll understand every Lyric of this song.
The live version sounds better
Not a comedic song itâs about Brian Wilson the genius behind The Beach Boys. He suffered a tremendous mental anguish, breakdown , depression, anxiety, gained a huge amount of weightâŠâŠhe more or less just gave up on life. Thank goodness with much help and therapy, he was able to recover.
