JANUARY 19, 2015 Song 7 for today ** YOU CAN RATE THIS SONG! ** (From 1-10, with 10 being the highest) IN MY ROOM by The Beach Boys 1963 🎸 Written by Brian Wilson and Gary Usher. 🎸 This is probably my favorite Beach Boys song. 🎸 The following is from Wikipedia: Gary Usher explained: In My Room found us taking our craft a little more seriously. Brian and I came back to the house one night after playing over-the-line (a baseball game). I played bass and Brian was on organ. The song was written in an hour... Brians melody all the way. The sensitivity... the concept meant a lot to him. When we finished, it was late, after our midnight curfew. In fact, Murry [the Wilson brothers father] came in a couple of times and wanted me to leave. Anyway, we got Audree [the Wilson brothers mother], who was putting her hair up before bed, and we played it for her. She said, Thats the most beautiful song youve ever written. Murry said, Not bad, Usher, not bad, which was the nicest thing he ever said to me. Gary Usher (who co-wrote the lyrics with Brian Wilson) further describes that Brian was always saying that his room was his whole world. Brian seconds this opinion: I had a room, and I thought of it as my kingdom. And I wrote that song, very definitely, that youre not afraid when youre in your room. Its absolutely true. In 1990, Brian wrote, I also enjoyed producing In My Room. There is a story behind this song. When Dennis, Carl and I lived in Hawthorne as kids, we all slept in the same room. One night I sang the song Ivory Tower to them and they liked it. Then a couple of weeks later, I proceeded to teach them both how to sing the harmony parts to it. It took them a little while, but they finally learned it. We then sang this song night after night. It brought peace to us. When we recorded In My Room, there was just Dennis, Carl and me on the first verse...and we sounded just like we did in our bedroom all those nights. This story has more meaning than ever since Dennis death. youtube/watch?v=1fQT-GjKlLw ///////////////
