Great point! I'd challenge anyone to take the music to say, God Only Knows or Wouldn't it be nice and try to replicate JUST THE VOCAL PARTS! Good luck. And, as Jeff Foskett said "Imagine WRITING IT!" Take " Cool Cool Water" The major key it uses is F. However, after the ocean sfx, they take it to the bridge with the "if things got you down, here's what you oughta do" and a key change to C. However, after half of the chorale moves back to F the other half keeps in C! Hence, there are functionally two keys being sung/played in at the same time. A great addition to the song in 68. While the two keys are very complimentary, the reason I think its two keys at once and not just in F with a chord change to C is because you can play the whole C scale while the song plays and it sounds fine embedded, even the B, which wouldn't sound like it would fit if the key was consistently F. And of course, Brian worked on it from 66 all the way to 68, beginning with the water chant idea and ending with one of the most innovative songs of the 60's, seeing as it has sound effects, a wall of chorus/reverb intro, the moog "drips" --which melded the sound/texture to the theme so brilliantly, the water chant, the "ever so cool" chant, and the upbeat break/tag at the end. I could go on and on about the complexity of Brians music....he's definately gifted. Musicians know this.....Don T is clueless.
