Rolling Stone's Top 20

Good Vibrations- #6

Released- 1966

 

This is a pure love song talking about the “vibrations” that he is receiving from his love interest. The lead singer Brian Wilson claims to have written this song due to his mother’s insistence on being able to pick up vibes from other people. This song romanticizes the love interest by admiring her clothes, hair, words, and perfume. This song continues to discuss these vibrations that Wilson is picking up on due to the fact that they are giving him “excitations.”
