Thank you very much
Gonna do another new one from the 15 Big Ones album
And Brian Wilson sang the lead on the album
He's gonna be here tonight and do it for y’all
It's called Back Home

One, two, three

Well, I'm goin’ back this summer to Ohio
I'm gonna seek out all my friends I've always known
I'm goin' back to that farm that I remember
Well, I'm goin' to spend my summer back home

Back home
I'll spend my summer back home
Back home
I’ll spend my summer back home

I’m gonna get up every morning before the roosters
I'll run downstairs, fix my brеakfast all alone
I’ll milk those cows, feed the chickеns and the horses
Well, I'm gonna spend this summer back home

Back home
I'll spend my summer back home
Back home
I'll spend my summer back home

I’ll eat everything that Ma puts on the table
When I get back you won't believe how I've grown
I'll hit the sack early every night thinkin' 'bout tomorrow
Well, I'm gonna spend this summer back home

Back home, back home, back home

Back home
I'll spend my summer back home
Back home
I'll spend my summer back home

Back home
I'll spend my summer back home
Back home
I'll spend my summer back home

Alright, alright, alright, Brian Wilson and Back Home

The Beach Boys

The Beach Boys are one of the world’s best-selling bands of all time and the first American pop band to reach the 50-year milestone. Their vocal harmonies are among the most unmistakable and enduring of the rock and roll era.

Formed in 1961 in Hawthorne, California, by Brian Wilson, his two brothers Carl and Dennis, their cousin Mike Love, and classmate Al Jardine, the group’s first single “Surfin'” got them signed to Capitol Records and they quickly became one of the most popular and successful artists of the surf music craze of the 1960s. From 1962 to 1966, The Beach Boys scored over twenty top 40 hits in the US including the chart-toppers “I Get Around”, “Help Me Rhonda” & “Good Vibrations” along with the top 5’s “Surfin USA”, “Fun, Fun, Fun”, “California Girls”, “Barbara Ann” & “Sloop John B”. Several of the band’s singles also found top 40 success in Canada, Australia, Sweden and the UK. In 1965, de facto leader Brian Wilson suffered a mental breakdown due to the stress of writing, producing & touring combined with substance abuse issues, causing him to step down and stop traveling with the band on tour.

Inspired by producer Phil Spector and The Beatles' Rubber Soul, Brian focused on studio work, determined to keep the group relevant as the surf music scene was fading with their 1966 album Pet Sounds. Despite tension between members in the studio about this new direction, lack of faith from the record label, mixed reviews, and comparatively lukewarm reception initially in the US, the album still found massive success in the UK and earned accolades from fellow artists including The Beatles, who acknowledged that the album was their inspiration to further push the boundaries of pop music with their landmark album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. Eventually Pet Sounds would be acknowledged as one of the greatest albums ever recorded by several media outlets like The Times, Mojo Magazine, The Guardian, VH1, BBC and Rolling Stone.
