I once dated someone who thought BW had passed away years ago because she heard the song as « I’m lying in bed, just like Brian Wilson dead ». She also hated the BB because she said all their songs were far too happy and sunny for her—so perhaps lyrics were generally not her thing.
I was just wanting to know if there was a reason to dislike it that I wasn’t aware of. I had to go hunt it down to recall it but instantly remembered it. Yep. Sounds like the early 90s 😀
I guess it IS kind of weird now that you mention it. If it’s to be a tribute song, maybe it could do more in that regard? Especially since that dude (I forget his name) is a notably clever lyricist. 🤷♀️
I guess too at some point in my teen years my mom had a depressive spell where she (mostly) stayed in bed for a year+ so romanticizing or making light of that phase in Wilson's life makes me wince.
