Please Let Me WonderThe Beach Boys60rank/position

Please Let Me Wonder (Remastered)

Please Let Me Wonder, included on the Beach Boys’ 1965 album The Beach Boys Today!, is a gem of a ballad that marked a turning point in the band’s deepening musicality.

Brian Wilson’s delicate melodies and the group’s beautifully layered harmonies create a profoundly moving song that resonates to the core.

The lyrics—about not knowing a lover’s feelings and being afraid to hear the answer—are unadorned and simple, free of any affectation.

That simplicity makes the wistful plea seep deeply into the listener’s heart, imbuing the song with a poignant, melancholic atmosphere.

Let yourself drift on its sweet yet aching melody and bask in a wave of nostalgia.

The Beach Boys – She Believes In Love Again

It is a composition by Bruce Johnston.

The song features a melodious, quintessential 1980s pop-style arrangement.

Sloop John BThe Beach Boys62rank/position

Sloop John B

Another track from Pet Sounds.

It’s a song where the high, crisp tones of the glockenspiel are used effectively throughout.

Starting with sparse drums but a lively, undulating bassline, layers of drums and chorus gradually build, amplifying the grandeur.

The arrangement is groundbreaking, with shifts in rhythm and even moments where the rhythm drops out entirely—making it a track that band-music fans can fully enjoy for its clever structural tricks.

Spring VacationThe Beach Boys63rank/position

Spring Vacation

The Beach Boys are a rock band that elevated genres like sunshine pop and surf to worldwide recognition.

In Japan, they’re akin to TUBE—a band with many songs themed around the ocean and summer.

Among their works, one I especially recommend is Spring Vacation.

It’s a rare “spring”-themed piece for them, and it exudes a breezy, carefree vibe.

Definitely give it a listen.
