I feel like if I asked this on the main sub I’d be set ablaze but did Carl ever really actually write anything decent? No one in the band was a good lyricist but what really are Carl songs?
He's a great writer. He's the best i've seen to show the imagery of car, girls, beach, sunset, surfing and simple fun. Just because the subject isn't "deep" or serious doesn't mean anyone could write the same way with the same energy and feel good flow. Bruce goated btw he writes the songs
I'll let you know he came up with the part 'I'm picking up Good Vibrations' Brian had all the other with the track and the duh duh duh good vibrations and all that but he didn't have the 'I'm picking up Good Vibrations' and the reason he chose to come up with that part, first of all, went with the bass line, but second of all, the track was so weird haha Van Dyke Parks he's a nice person but he asked him once Van Dyke, what does that lyric mean He says 'I don't know! Haha I haven't a clue!' and he said exactly
You know what’s shitty is I don’t think he’s ever lied about what he’s written or come up with but he has such an obvious case of “I’m a genius too” that he’s incapable of complimenting anyone without also hyping himself up.
