Good Morning Brian
HI, I am Selwyn
Schneider,
singer/songwriter and occasional
One-Man-Band.
In 1993 I read Heroes and Villains. I
had been aware that Brian had a bad time with his father
but I did not realize just HOW bad! I felt saddened, and
inspired to write a song to dedicate to him. I
started immediately. I got as far as a backing track with
the melody and rough ideas for the lyrics. Then life, babies
and other projects came along, which meant that Good Morning
Brian was left in its box untouched for about 5 years.........
..........until I read Wouldn't it be Nice
!
This book really shocked me. It made me really understand,
for the first time, exactly how much Brian was the incredible
talent and driving force behind the Beach Boys, and I felt
horrified that a man with so much talent, and who created
the most stunning vocal arrangements, (never mind the amazing
songs and music) should have to endure the pain and misery
which he went through.
Well, this made me to realize that Good
Morning Brian's time had come.
I hauled it out and set about creating all the Backing Vocals,
finishing the lead vocals and finally mixing it.
This song
is my personal tribute to Brian, created from the desire
to give something back to him, and to somehow acknowledge
his ENORMOUS talent, and his HUGE influence on me and you
over the years.
Brian...I
hope you get to hear this one day...... I send it out to
you with sincere
"Good Vibrations" and TOTAL RESPECT. I hope your
surf stays up for years to come.
Good Morning
