Kinda funny watching Blondie Chaplin singing backup and cavorting with Keith and the Stones knowing he sang lead on this wonderful tune.

Only cause it's the Beach Boys does it get a 7. It would get bland on the 10th hearing.

The album also came with a small 45 sized EP called "Mount Vernon and Fairway"
which is a curious piece of work. Never was quite sure what to make of that...
"Holland" is a great album. I think this song is one of the weakest one on it. "Funky Pretty" and "California" are far superior songs. "Mt. Vernon and Fairway" is way out there though. (#lol) |

Ahhhh, no — opposite for me — gimme the surfing songs please (Good Vibrations). I always thought this song was performed by Chicago (whom I dislike...).
This song could possibly be compared to Chicago's "Wishing You Were Here", on which the Beach Boys sing background vocals. Love both of those songs. |

This is indeed Blondie Chaplin. He took the vocal after Carl couldn't nail it… More about how the song came to be here…

This can be seen as allegorical. The metaphor isn't original but the structure is unique. A great song because it touches themes that are universal.

Well, it's not print per se, but this Wiki account pretty much substantiates what is generally acknowledged, i.e., Blondie's vocal. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sail_On,_SailorI saw one of Rick Danko's many post-Band bands long ago. Chaplin played guitar, and sang their rendition of "Sail On Sailor." Sure sounded like the same voice as that on the Beach Boys' recording. Guess that's not print either. Sigh. |

Sooooo Gooood ! Heavy, brotha lyrics: I sailed an ocean, unsettled ocean Through restful waters and deep commotion Often frightened, unenlightened Sail on, sail on sailor I wrest the waters, fight Neptune's waters
Sail through the sorrows of life's marauders
Unrepenting, often empty
Sail on, sail on sailor Caught like a sewer rat alone but I sail
Bought like a crust of bread, but oh do I wail Seldom stumble, never crumble
Try to tumble, life's a rumble
Feel the stinging I've been given
Never ending, unrelenting
Heartbreak searing, always fearing
Never caring, persevering
Sail on, sail on, sailor I work the seaways, the gale-swept seaways
Past shipwrecked daughters of wicked waters
Uninspired, drenched and tired
Wail on, wail on, sailor Always needing, even bleeding
Never feeding all my feelings
Damn the thunder, must I blunder
There's no wonder all I'm under
Stop the crying and the lying
And the sighing and my dying |
