The 90's of Prince presented us with the problems the superstars of the previous eras had despite the fact most of them had many favourable circumstances then. Still, there were some cases, such as The Beach Boys, which made you sigh then. The group I mentioned, for instance, had a reputation, though the latter was built on their past. Stars & Stripes Vol. 1 showed that and, to be honest, they did have a correct idea, i.e. they covered their own hits with some modern country singers. However, they botched this principle immensely, because the entire thing feels like a fan karaoke at some times. Sure, there are some collaborations, such as the piece you hear on the link, where you can trace the best possible version of Stars & Stripes Vol. 1. Sadly, even these settled for good enough.
A few nights ago in a comment, Roger mentioned this Beach Boys song … one that I hadn’t heard or thought of in ages! Naturally, it stuck in my head, even though I could only remember four words (the title words) from the whole song! But then, lyrics have never been my strong suit, being mostly unable to hear.
This song is the opening track from the Beach Boys’ 1966 album Pet Sounds. Written by…
Returning from Yorkshire to London, Paul McCartney, Derek Taylor, Peter Asher and Tony Bramwell detour to the village of Harrold. Asking a local for directions to the river, they end up at a pub instead. Songs are sung and ale is drunk and a good time is had by all except perhaps Shayne Mitchell, the daughter of their host, who went to bed to read a book.

She sees dead people...and this one is going to make her popular.
High school introvert Darby Harper can see dead people and uses her ability to counsel spirits who have unfinished business. When popular cheerleader Capri dies she “pleads” with Darby to convince her friends to have her “Sweet 17″ party anyway. In order to do so, Darby must reinvent herself.
Darby and the Dead stars Riele Downs (Darby), Auli’i Cravalho (Capri), Chosen Jacobs, Asher Angel, Wayne Knight, Derek Luke, and Tony Danza. Silas Howard directs.
20th Century Studios’ Darby and the Dead hits Hulu on December 2, 2022.
How do I explain to you, How much I miss you? How do I explain to you how important you are in my life? How do I tell you that you are the one who I hope understands me without even talking to me? How do I tell you how painful this is? It's all here in my heart, but only if you could just understand me without the need for words.

Algunas enemistades nunca mueren… “Darby y Los Espíritus”
Darby Harper estuvo a punto de morirse cuando era niña, lo que la convirtió en una adolescente introvertida, antisocial y con la habilidad de ver a los muertos. Fuera de la escuela, Darby aconseja a espíritus solitarios con asuntos pendientes, y le va muy bien. Cuando Capri, la líder del grupo más popular de la escuela, muere inesperadamente y comienza a pedirle ayuda insistentemente, Darby debe tragarse su orgullo, dejar a un lado sus convicciones y reinventarse a sí misma a imagen y semejanza de Capri.
Estreno: 27 de enero de 2023 en Star+.

I’ve played a couple of Beach Boys songs lately, and one that has been mentioned more than a couple of times is God Only Knows, so I figured it should be next in the lineup!
Brian Wilson wrote this song with Tony Asher, who was an advertising copyrighter and lyricist that Wilson worked with on songs for Pet Sounds. This song reflects Wilson’s interest in spirituality, and it was a big departure…

Dimitri looking like the King of Fuck Boys. Monet looking like her usual model self. Jordan looking good. Obie looking like he's about to tell you all about his latest investment projects. Jay looking like one of the people that Zoya is going to feed. Asher looking like he finally got some rest. Carter looking like he's about to cause some drama.
Keep the looks coming.
