Brian Wilson - Don't Talk (Put Your Head On My Shoulder) Lyrics

LISTEN.........

This song sounds naked.

dünyanın en güzel şarkısı..

I suffer the same anxiety disorder as Brian Wilson and hearing this song brought me so much comfort... knowing he went through the same emotions and similar experiences in life made me feel less alone. I'm so happy this exists.

It’s a difficult song to sing and remain on key. Try it....makes you appreciate the final result

I want this playing at my wedding. One day when I get that ring... I hope to remember this❤️

This might just be the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard.
Brian Wilson... one really runs out of words to describe him.

Wokale i ich harmonię genialne. ,!!!!!!

Who is still listening in 2019?

This song is perfect for meditating.

I like to sing along to songs in the car when I’m driving, and I drive from LA to San Francisco (and back) pretty often. So on these drives I basically spend my time humming along with music: sometimes with the lead vocals but if I’m not quite familiar with a song, I’ll hum along with the root bass notes of the chords. Usually I’m able to grasp that pretty quickly. But holy shit, THIS song. The drive from LA to SF is generally around 8 hours. This past weekend, I straight up listened to this song repeatedly for the entire 8 hour drive because I couldn’t grasp the chords/arrangement at all from just one listen. This song is by far the most complex and sophisticated pop song ever made—and yet, even while I didn’t understand it, it’s beauty is apparent right off the bat. I don’t say this just because it’s a common thing to say; Brian Wilson is a genius. No joke— I know people say that a lot, but it’s 100 percent a true statement (not just a pop culture catchphrase). This mf dude was and is a real-life genius... to be able to hear this song in your head... the vision. I’m at a loss of words. All I know is while i was in SF, I decided to take shrooms with some homies and We listened to this entire album several times and we all cried at several points. During the trip, this song seemed like the closest thing any modern artist has ever come to true Godliness, and I don’t say that lightly

This is the first piece of music ever that made me cry.

Sublime!

Brian is a genius!

Just beautiful. Brian Wilson, a gentle, brilliant composer. A million thumbs up! ✌️💕

I DID BY HEARING THIS .... THIS IS SOOOOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL ...

Play at 0.75 speed, you’re welcome

kills me everytime

I imagine listening to this song during my wedding night :)

underrated band

Great lyrics from Tony Asher who a few weeks before co writing this was writing Ad jingles , Brian you absolute genius this album is pure gold

The more I hear this the more I like it. That's the sign of a really good song.

There is this consensus that the Beatles stood alone at the top of the hill. But when they got there Brian was waiting for them. He was evey bit as good. In fact with songs like this, of bittersweet tenderness, he was pretty much unbeatable.

What an incredible tune...

This was one of several songs that blew Paul McCartney away, the whole album was miles ahead of anything everyone else had done to that point in 1965-66. Thank God for the Wrecking Crew!

meruem singing this for komugi, before to die... someone fan of hunter x?

Somebody should make an AMV of that.

@William Henning
I thought about it since I heard pet sounds. it would be amazing: c

Don’t Talk (Put Your Head On My Shoulder (My Left Shoulder (Yes Like That (Yeah And Rub It (Thanks)))))

I did it.
I found the American Beatles.

Kinda drags. Has no resolution.. just feels mashed up hogwash

Have you lost your mind? Seriously? Do you think it should be faster? Perhaps you have never had a moment like this in life?

To my daughter. Happy father’s day until we meet again.

If I had a nickel for every time I’ve played this around a woman. I wouldn’t be rich, but definitely rich in memories.

platero y you.

A gorGeous mateRpiece.Thank you Brian and the group.

I get real chills listening to this masterpiece. This is the crown jewel of the album.

this song gives me the gooesbumps :))))

I dare anyone to find a more masterful album than that of Pet Sounds. Brian Wilson is truly a musical genius and one of the greatest songwriters of all time. This song is so hauntingly beautiful, almost choir like.

One of the greatest songs ever written from one of the greatest and most influential albums ever produced!

This just may be the most beautiful song I've ever heard. When I first played for my wife many years ago , she went like I did the first time I heard it.

AWESOME !!!!!!

The chromaticism that occurs twice in a row over the lyrics: "Put your head" and "Close your eyes" really gets me. Everything else about this song is perfect too. But those chromatic vocal lines...good god. The musical sophistication is beyond amazing here.

Slow down

Brian Wilson blows my mind!

i cant bring myself to like not even one song of this group, they all sound the same and dull. But i know they are supposed to be a great group.....is there any song by the Beach Boys thats so good that even people who dont like the Beach Boys will enjoy it?

Hard to say since everybody's tastes differ. I could give you a top 10 Beach Boys songs if you'd like.

This is an enormous song and album hits into heart

You can hear the strings crying and whimpering in utter catharsis as Brian's vocals are fey, solemn and dejected, almost like he'd experienced the worst heartbreak any man could bear to feel, let alone move on from.

Definitely an ethereal song that is so beautiful it will make you cry. I could listen to it forever.

IMO one of the best albums ever recorded ... such a major leap from what brian  had been composing

I am in the uk was in Liverpool last week and drove past the actual Street penny Lane. I listened to it when I got home. It's a great song. But my all time favourite is the beach boys i love pet sounds and everything they do. I met Bruce Johnson in gateshead UK he is a great vocalist and musician. The beach boys are still going strong (live tours in mean) in a manner that no one of the Beatles brigade can copy. 😀x

Most beautiful Beach Boys song definitely...

The Beach Boys

I can hear so much in your sighs
And I can see so much in your eyes
There are words we both could say
But don't talk, put your head on my shoulder

Come close, close your eyes and be still
Don't talk, take my hand and let me hear your heart beat
Being here with you feels so right
We could live forever tonight
Lets not think about tomorrow
And don't talk put your head on my shoulder

Come close, close your eyes and be still
Don't talk, take my hand and listen to my heart beat
Listen, listen,…

Been broken for a bit, this song helps me tho

https://www.brianwilson.com/stack-o-tracks Fans of Pet Sounds and of "Don't Talk", you'll enjoy this!

God I sure do love Sgt Peppers Lonely Heart Band- The Beatles 1967

everytime i hear this song i want to take my shirt off and lay on the ground

Immensely alluring.

Thank you God oh wait I'm an Atheist

The Beatles made more great stuff than the Beach Boys but the Beach Boys at their best are better than the Beatles at their best.

Brian Wilson*

This song is so romantic it makes love to itself

I usually don't post, but this song forced my hand. You might be interested in my experience with the album. I was a raving BB fan in the early Sixties, a young teen musician.
So floored by their last LP, TODAY, that I counted the days until the next one came out, Pet Sounds.I went to the store on release day and got there before they even placed it out in the bins. The salesmen opened up the carton and sold it to me ($3.98 -- best deal ever). I raced home, up to my room and played it. It was, and remains, the singular most astonishing musical moment in my life. The haunting sounds were from another universe of pop music. I was already playing in rock bands, so I knew my way around, but THIS MUSIC was in a language I didn't speak. Nobody did. I had no idea of the chords, the instrumentation -- anything. I played it non-stop almost until the sun came up. Over 50 years later it's STILL avant garde. The only trouble with Pet Sounds is that it's so perfect that it overshadows other genius work by Brian and the band (see SUNFLOWER, SURF'S UP, FRIENDS, LOVE YOU, for example). I concluded then that the greatest contribution of homo sapiens to the universe is music. Nothing even comes close. I pity the person who doesn't tear up at some of Brian's lead vocals, and the choir behind him.

Listen to The Smile Sessions (planned follow-up to Pet Sounds that was canned)

Beautiful song. I've been arranging some songs from Pet Sounds as well as other Beach Boys songs for 2 guitars. Check my page for the videos if you're interested! Always happy to take recommendations

You know that a song/composition is special when it could equally be used as a most romantic of 'let's snuggle up' songs as be used to describe the last moments of somebody before they die.

There is no other song in music history like this one. It is so intimate, beautiful and surreal all at once.

Listen close to the string section on this song. Absolutely breathtaking chords in succession to piece everything together. Haunting.

Why am I crying? So beautiful😍

boring !!!

you're completely clueless

@dbo514 don't get me wrong, I love the Beach Boy but this song doesn't do it for me

@Michel Doct Ok I'm sorry for my comment! I understand that it might not do it for you but I would encourage you to watch the Behind the Sounds episode for this song, it really helped me appreciate the full beauty of the harmony in this song. And use headphones to really hear the textures, maybe it'll give you another perspective on it.

As a Beatle fan I’ve got to say that this album made me respect Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys.

Only respect?

autotuned bullshit

There is no autotune. It didn't even exist at the time.

CLASSICAL MUSIC MAKE LOVE WITH BAROQUE POP!

That ending. When i first met my wife. I took her for a ride in my marauder. I played this song. Our eyes met and i knew we'd be together forever. That was 2003. Been 15 years now and i just played this for her first time since our wedding. This is our song.

that's beautiful. music is the best. i hope you stay together forever.

Written by: -Brian Wilson- _Mike Love_

This song was written by Brian Wilson and Tony Asher.

Brian Wilson is such a romantic. His lyrics are exquisitely sweet.

beautiful. <3

VERY BEACHY

helpful song!

ドンタ〜ク…最高ですな

Need to listen to this song about 10-times in a row....... outstanding!

I STRONGLY SUGGEST CARMEN MCRAE VERSION...........

If you add up the IQ of the Beatles it almost equals Brian Wilson... lol

so stupid

haha musically i suppose that's a fair statement, but overall IQ . . . nah bruv

LMAOOOO

this beats sgt pepper for me. the song writing is out of this world. i must say also that i prefer these guys voices, so tender and full of emotion, great tones. the strings in this are next level too

John had the best voice imo

wait I got to change gear

i remember in my younger days i was shooting heroin and cocaine in a trap house to this song

user name what a wild juxtaposition

This has to be a candidate for the best male lyrical vocal in pop music from 1960 onwards. Just brilliant. (Without wishing to knock the Beatles - could John, Paul or George have performed a vocal like this with stripped back musical accompaniment that there is on this track?)

that cello

strings
* ;)

i was listening to pet sounds throughout the summer of '17, and needless to say, i wasn't disappointed...

the lyrics, the instrumentation, the key changes, everything was basically perfect.

This was clearly meant to be listened to whilst stoned

😍😍😍❤❤❤

My favorite song on this album is...aw, forget it

I love this sooo very much. Love you Brian

the greatest American band

I have to buy this

Very psychedelic

This song puts me in a very deep, dark place since the first time I heard it. In the back of a taxicab, rain against the windows. Her head on my shoulder, watching the city lights pass slowly by. Both of us saying things to each other that can't be expressed in words.

I find this song very disturbing.

Makes me cry. It just makes me think of being in love, and I just end up feeling so many emotions listening to it. Amazing arrangments, just so beautiful.

Love u Mik

Sincerely yours, Dieg

It's very oldies song.

Symphony!!

Yes, a little symphony !

Sound is feeling... some special people are just gifted to be able to express it through music so beautifully.

The Beach Boys > The Beatles

Equally as good as sgt pepper and odessey and oracle

Not typically a fan of remastering, but the work on this album is excellent. I had this album in Mono and it is a treat
to listen in "stereo". This album is the best of all Beach Boys albums in my opinion. I recall that it received a decent amount of critical acclaim as well...Blessings to the remaining Beach Boys...Ed<><

Well according to acclaimedmusic.net (a website that statistically compares album and song acclaim) Pet Sounds is the most critically acclaimed album of all time.
