Elenore (Turtles Cover)

This project was something special and I loved every minute of working on it. I wanted this album to show its full potential by sequencing all of the songs together and make it sound as a whole, like a big medley. And it turned out great, as it should considering the whole album is a masterpiece.

 I even worked on the cover art a bit, found the high quality photo from the channel Stereo Music (https://www.youtube.com/c/StereoMusic...), gave it some color, added the "full dimensional sound" logo, changed the letters to spell out CHiLD, like SMiLE and I think it looks better, and also I found a back cover with the track listing and "Brians Back!" written on I'm guessing literally Brian's back. I fixed that up and added my own track listing. I don't know if it's a legit picture of Brian since it was clearly from a bootleg, but I think it looks like him and I love how it looks. It works well with the humor within Brian's work and its just perfect, Brian's front in front, his back in the back, cracks me up thinking about it.

In my mind if this was released this way, I would imagine a timeline where Mike and maybe Al would finally back off and say "Okay Brian, you can have your way with your "big band and synth mumbo jumbo" on this album. We did this to you once and look how that turned out. Let's just get it over with shall we?" (Some people just never learn do they?)

 The other thing is I would imagine the record company (I'm not sure if its Brother Records or Reprise Records so I put both of their logos on seperate sides) doubling down on the "Brians Back" campaign, putting his name on almost every song as if it would be his own record, just featuring The Beach Boys (honestly looks that way) and let Brian go all out with this album. The only request the record would make is compose a few "appropriate and marketable" tracks and add them onto the album. Because of that they would work on more tracks and release it near the end of 1978, around when M.I.U. was released or in late October. Also I would think because of the length of each side, to preserve the tracks' quality they would use extended-play LP that could go up to 26 minutes, which works just fine. 

I cleared and mixed some of the tracks to make it sound more listenable. The sequencing of the tracks worked so well that it feels like this was always meant to be this way. I made some tempo changes that worked well and some pitch shifts that sort of didn't but I made them to make the transitions sound more cohesive so, little sacrifices had to be made.

And in the end of the alternate timeline I think it would be much more divisive than Love You, some hating it while others calling it "Brian's second chance at his magnum opus" and I think he sure nailed it. The first side of the album sounds more like Brian's "all out quirky and weird" tracks that sound amazing, and the second side being a more commercial side with more tracks about love and such [don't mind Hey Little Tomboy there ;)] and that side sounds amazing as well. And I added some vinyl crackling sounds to give it that "long lost album" vibes and I guess that could throw off some people but don't worry, I'm going to share a file with the sides without the cracking sounds and maybe with the cover arts after the premiere.

احسان ذبیحی‌فر - صبا

کز می کنم گوشه ای
آن ها می رقصند و من:
هی توی ذهنم
موهای طلایی را سیاه و
کسی با من نمی رقصد
تازه : اگر هم دعوتم کند
بلد نیستم
شتری می رقصم
می خورم زمین آبرو ریزی است
می فهمند دهاتی ام
نه این که بلد نباشم
نه
عادت کرده ام روی لبه ی تیغ
رقصم نمی گیرد این طوری
عادت کرده ام شمالی باشم و کردی برقصم
چیزی برای رقصیدن باشد
به رقصم بیاورد
با چسب دوقلو که نمی شود
خودم را بچسبانم به اینها
زور که نیست
برای همین روی صندلی نشسته ام
توی موبایل خبرها را می خوانم
هوای تهران آلوده است
تلخ توی پنجره ها دارد بیدار می شود
قلبش تند می زند
آسم دارد
تنگی نفس گرفته
باید بستری شود ـ دارو نیست
توی هیچ بیمارستانی هم جا نمی شود
O
آبجو نه
ودکا هم نه
یک فنجان چای سفارش می دهم
باغ ها روی سینی چرخ می زنند و
بیرون از پنجره استخر لاهیجان
توی برف منجمد شده
اسم این دختر گیلانه است
خودش نمی داند
می گوید: سیلوو پله
مقسی مادمازل
قند را توی استکان می زنم
می ریزم توی نعلبکی
تاریک است کسی نمی بیند چه می کنم!!!!!!
صدای موزیک :
بنفشه گول بیرون بامو به یاد باوَر تی عَهده
بخار پنجره
اینجا ساعت یک ونیم
آن جا چهار صبح
برفی سنگین در پیاده رو نشسته
می بارد هنوز
تهران هم برفی ست
ولی کافه ای ندارد فرانسوی
که در آن بیایم وسط رقصی کنم
که دخترها دعوایشان بشود
گیس و گیس کشی
زشت است
ما آدم حسابی هستیم
بلند شوم بروم
موبایل را ببندم
این جا دو و نیم
تهران ساعت پنج
می دانم از در که بیرون بروم
استخر مثل یک پرده جمع می شود
و صدای یخ ها و قوها را خواهم شنید
دوباره در خیابانی هستم
که ده سال پیرترم می کند
برویم!!!!!!!!
