ADD SOME MUSIC [TO YOUR DAY] (B.Wilson/J.Knott/M.Love)
----------------------------
The sunday mornin' gospel goes good with the soul
There's blues, folk, and country, and rock like a rollin' stone
The world could come together as one
If everybody under the sun
Add some music to your day
(Add some music, add some add some music to your day)
You'll hear it while you're walkin' by a neighbor's home
You'll hear it faintly in the distance when you're on the phone
You're sittin' in a dentist's chair
And they've got music for you there
To add some music
To your day
Add some music music everywhere
Add some add some add some add some music
Your doctor knows it keeps you calm
Your preacher adds it to his psalms
So add some music
To your day
Music
When you're alone
Is like a companion
For your lonely soul
When day is over
I close my tired eyes
Music is in my soul
At a movie you can feel it touching your heart
And on every day of the summertime
You'll hear children chasing ice cream carts
They'll play it on your wedding day
There must be 'bout a million ways
To add some music
To your day
Add some music to your day
Add some music to your day
Add some music to your day
Add some music to your day
Add some music to your day - Hudba
This has to be one the Beach Boys' most underrated, underappreciated songs, as was the album, "Sunflower." Those of us true blue fans, however, have always looked past popular opinion, fickle as it tends to be. It's good to see all of your positive comments. The Beach Boys have always been one of my favorite bands, and they will always be!
This song is like a hymn and rock n roll at the same time. I just love it, it's probably my favorite Beach Boys song!
My favorite Beach Boys song(so many to choose from!),but there's magic in the melody and lyrics of this one in particular....
Amen Scott Harbison, one of THE best BB's songs IMHO
Remember hearing this for the first live at the Royal Festival Hall in London, the Brian Wilson Pets Sounds tour, was blown away as I never thought I get to hear one of my favourite songs played live, to be fair I was on the edge of my seat for the whole concert. Wonderful.
Adore this song. It's one of the few tracks on which every beach boy sings a lead. Except perhaps Dennis, who can be heard in the background.
Very underrated song
SUNFLOWER = A gem of an album. Did great in Britain, tanked over here. One of my faves.
A new favorite. Never heard it until I got the 50 Big Ones cd. Gorgeous!
MUSIC IS IN MY SOUL!! this line/melody almost makes me cry
What ever you say about the band Mike Loves vocal Bass/lead vocals are truly what this band were about, And Brian new this at the time,
I never heard this 'till around 2001, when I bought a cd collection of the boys. It's really great.
Regarding why their music from this era wasn't very popular, I think it has a lot to do with what mainstream music was becoming at this time. The psychedelic era was winding down, classic rock was on the rise, and I think people just wanted something different. I think it had more to do with the fact that their music at its core never really changed all that much after they got over the surf phase.
"...Music is in my soul..." - - says it all
To think this track is over 40years old, this is a masterpiece of music, production, and a heart warmer. Sunflower was way ahead of anything at that time, Its endless music heaven. Everyone should at least listen once to this album. They dont know what they are missing. But we do !
I absolutely adore this song and have been learning to play it on the piano. There is nothing about this song that isn't brilliant IMO. It puts a smile on my face and makes me join in and sing my heart out every single time! I think Sunflower, Today and Pet Sounds are my absolute favourite albums of all time! :)
Video images of Beach Boys' concerts of the early '70s show an almost orchestral lineup inclusive of a horn section. Ironically, this was a period of a popularity ebb for the band. But for those of us who were there it was live Beach Boys music at its best, fathoms deeper than their more popular appearance on Ed Sullivan in the late sixties singing Do It Again and Good Vibrations.
This song deserves so much more good reactions. DaddyBlog, you're right.
ditto! I listen to that part over and over. One of the most beautiful melodies and harmonies in Beach Boys history
1.55 to 2.17. Stunning..great track great album
the lyrics says it all that there would be peace in the world if only music could be universal
Music is universal.
❤️ this song!
I have always been pretty disheartened by the fact that this album, and their others of the same era, didn't do well. I guess it was a combination of the stereotypes they were confronting as a band and the fact that the late 60's seemed to discredit music that didn't have a "message". Truly, this song can cheer me up no matter how foul a mood I'm in. Maybe it's a bit naive, but that is sop much a part of its charm. And how beautifully sung and produced!
This is simply brilliant!
Particularly the part from 2:20 to 2:35 shows the genius of Brian Wilson in the way he uses the vowels with the tones. That has stood out to me ever since I first heard it in 1973!
What a great a great song by the fabulous Beach Boys! Dave Udall
Thanks, PeterP, glad you enjoyed my comments....the Sunflower album is the first production that was really focused on ALL BBs, including Bruce, and the first album where we would see DW's real talent emerge. It would take another six solid years to see him step out and give us "Pacific Ocean Blue," but it really started with Sunflower. The more I listen to todays music--the more I realize how much talent was displayed in those early works..many on 4 tracks--and no Pro Tools to tune the vocals!
There's no WAY this LP should have tanked. It's an awesome LP, one of their best, I feel.
2:34-3:11 Beach Boys An American Family - great part of a great song in an awesome movie
One of their all time best.
Fred, thanks for this little insight into the Beach Boys. I have been a BB fan since they
began, i play there music everyday, it is timeless, magical, brilliance. For me Sunflower is there best album. I have seen the BB live twice, and will see them for a 3rd time in Atlanta on September 9th 2011. Long way to go from Eastbourne, England
but hey !! they are well worth it. Thanks again for the posts.
Sweet song - Brian you made great music that will always stand the test of time. Of all the craziness I type this ironic comment as I’m sitting in a “Dentist’s Chair”. Music that touches my heart.
my favorite two beach boys tunes!
SUNFLOWER is, in my humble opinion, the BEST Beach Boys LP ever made by them.
"If We Ever Need A Super Man" by Jjohn Hunter Phillips
i don't know why sunflower is so under-rated. everyone goes on about pet sounds, and quite right too. but sunflower has SO many exquisite songs and so so life affirmingly good that it is clearly close to if not as good as pet sounds.
what really gets me is the way some of these songs end - they veer off into what appear to be other totally different songs. weird & mysterious, as though there' s a parrallel universe.
It took me a while to really get into this song. I thought it was a little too corny. But after hearing probably hundreds of times, it has really grown on me. It is really an American anthem.
I now love it. God...it and "Sunflower" should have been #1's.
It was a chart topper in England. If you haven't heard the entire album, friends, do yourself a favor. It is all cream!
Joe
Thanks for posting this great Beach Boys 'fan' song!!!!
Simply Magic!!!
What a middle section in this song! It deserved much better, as every track from Sunflower did.
What is so nice about this song for all people coming from "I can hear music" is that there is only one comment by alanmurr. "Your doctor knows that it keeps you calm, your preacher adds it to his psalms, your teacher doesn't tell you knowing this song will lead to 100 dollar plates." ADD SOME MUSIC TO YOUR DAY!
sunflower= one of the best albums of the 70s
Thanks for all your kind words, folks. Add Some Music & Sunflower are as good 41 years after their release--as they were then. Now, with all the excitement over the SMiLE set--maybe folks will check out the other less known BB catalog & give "Sunflower" it's just due. Fred/Nashville, TN.
To the person who is going to see M&B in Atlanta in September, tell em hi for me. I saw 'em in Huntsville, AL several months ago & they sounded great...band does well but still no Carl and DW. RIP, my brothers
great advice!
You are absolutely right mrperez666, I've kept asking myself the same question!? It's a miracle to me too!
Music is in my soul
They made way more than the surf music think of when they think Beach Boys
Is this the only song where all 6 sang lead, or at least a semi-lead? Mike on the verses, Bruce finishes two of the verses, Carl at the bridge, Brian with "When day is over", Al with the "ice cream carts", and Dennis with "Add some music just add some music like" at each verse.
AS TO 'SUNFLOWER,' THIS IS THE UNSUNG CLASSIC BB ALBUM. WHEN I SPOKE AT UK'S 'STOMP' IN 2003, A NUMBER OF ATTENDEES TOLD ME THIS WAS THEIR FAVORITE BB ALBUM--YES, THEY PREFERED IT TO "PET SOUNDS." i WAS WITH BW AT THE MASTERING OF 'PET SOUNDS' AND WITH THE GROUP AS THEY RECORDED 'SUNFLOWER.' I JUST WISH WARNER BROS HAD GIVEN IT THE PROMOTION AND MARKETING IT DESERVED BUT THOSE WERE DIFFERENT TIMES..THE BOYS WERE NOT TOURING AS MUCH AND COMPETING WITH A LOT OF OTHER ACTS. KEEP THE FAITH, FOLKS.
DON'T KNOW HOW I MISSED THIS CLIP...JUST DISCOVERED IT TONIGHT (JULY 18, 2011). TO ANSWER THE QUESTION ABOVE AS TO "WHY" "MUSIC" DIDN'T BECOME A HUGE HIT, I WILL TELL YOU FROM FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE. I WAS BASICALLY RUNNING BROTHER RECORDS AT THE TIME AND ON THE ROAD SEVEN MONTHS PROMOTING THE ALBUM, SINGLE AND CARL'S GROUP, THE FLAME. YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER THE ERA...AS ONE MAJOR MARKET PD TOLD ME: "FRED, THE BEACH BOYS ARN'T HIP ANY MORE." OF COURSE, HE WAS WRONG, BUT THOSE WERE THE TIMES.
You have good taste!
It bomb because it was a bit "sentimental" for the times. The right record at the wrong time, as it were.
Thankfully, Sunflower -- and this song in particular -- is/are appreciated nowadays as the masterpiece that it was.
By the way, the bridge is one of Carl's classic vocal performances and my favorite part of this song.
One the hundredth anniversary of the release of their first record on Candix, people will be able to appreciate Beach Boys music irrespective of all the stuff that hindered singles like this one. All their great songs, the hits and the album cuts (Please let Me Wonder) and the singles that were underplayed and under appreciated (Little Girl I Once Knew) will all have the same stature.

Am I dreaming ? A Beach Boy with a Montreal Canadiens shirt ???
Maybe even the best one....
Your doctor knows it keeps you calm, your preacher adds it to his songs, your teacher knows that if you are calm you will be able to buy false teeth. So add some music to your day.
@drshoggothshow Haha. You can't argue with a beard like that.
@Chacha5678
BB's music from this era has aged well i would say
It flopped instead of topped because AM To 40 had lost its way and was ignoring early 60's groups as they matured - Plus, FM radio was finding it's niche simply by bypassing the Top 40 style groups in favor of new, album-oriented rock.
Add Some Music, Friends, Wild Honey, Darlin, Cotton Fields (Top Ten around the world), Sail On Sailor ...

MUSIC IS IN MY SOUL! ( sorry two comments by alan)
It probably just didn't get enough promotion is all.
People that think Brian had declined at all yet by 69-70 (musically) just don't know the truth.
Man they were hairy in the 70's.
''there's blues; f***'n country and rock like a rollin' stone'' :*D (i'm aware it's ''folk'')
@mrperez666 You have to be in sync with the time, that is all.....
Does not matter if you can make good music, if the audience prefers another style,
then you will be forgotten.
That was the trouble for the Beach Boys at the late 60´s and early 70´s.
@thevoiceoftheBBs I like this better than Pet Sounds too. I get that Pet Sounds is an "important" album and that might cloud some folks' opinion of it (i.e., they *should* like it or be a musical cretin), but Sunflower is more accessible and has more variety to it. PS is a bit lugubrious and slow, and the sound of much of the album is very baroque.

@ 1: 55 Carl takes this thing to another level but I bet you could get better tone by somebody farting in rubber pants than that no talent mike love.
there is one word for this comment and its tosser
