Don't Talk
The Beach Boys Lyrics
I can hear so much in your sighs
And I can see so much in your eyes
There are words we both could say
But don't talk, put your head on my shoulder
Come close, close your eyes and be still
Don't talk, take my hand and let me hear your heart beat
Being here with you feels so right
We could live forever tonight
Lets not think about tomorrow
Come close, close your eyes and be still
Don't talk, take my hand and listen to my heart beat
Listen, listen, listen
Don't talk, put your head on my shoulder
Don't talk, close your eyes and be still
Don't talk, put your head on my shoulder
Don't talk, close your eyes and be still
Don't talk, put your head on my shoulder

Elvis Costello has been quoted as saying, "Last summer, I heard 'Don't Talk (Put Your Head on My Shoulder)' played on the cello. It sounded beautiful and sad, just as it does on Pet Sounds. So now you know, if all the record players in the world get broken tomorrow, these songs could be heard a hundred years from now."

Imagine dreaming up a song like this out of thin air? And then having the voice to deliver it like this? Unreal. Barely seems human.

The whole album has this otherworldly quality, really great arrangements, film like but also..... not

Marty Wacker
I hear music in my head too but I have no ability with any instruments to do anything about it. I also had a brain injury as a child and hear voices and have something called hypnogogia and thats where I hear music as I fall asleep. Love Brian he's the man.
