The Beach Boys - In My Room free for downloading

It's hard to believe this gorgeous ballad was a "B" side... but then again, "Don't Worry Baby" and "God Only Knows" were "B" sides, too.

This song is too good to only be 2 minutes long

Some of the most beautiful harmonies in Rock History...................absolutely gorgeous!!

this reminds me of Junior high/high school spending time alone thinking laying on my bed....I think all teens look at thier room as their refuge in adolescent

This song is heartbreaking in its beauty   Brian Wilson's father was an abusive monster and Wilson sought refuge from this monster "in his room."

One of the greatest songs of all time

I love the trance-like, airy feel of this song. Sounds almost melancholy, but it's a rejoicing in being alone in my room, where nobody can hurt me. Wish this was 5 minutes instead of 2...

Indoors, Indoors IIIINNNDOOOOORRRRS! TAKE IT AWAY PENNY! That penny has the most beautiful sound.

As a rocker I disrespected the Beach Boys when I was young. THAT WAS STUPID. These songs are absolutely timeless. Sometimes you need to get older to appreciate greatness.

I'm 71, old hippie. I live In Port Townsend WA. Me and two buddies work this harmony once a week. Even if we never get it down good enough to take it out in public, the effort is worthwhile in ways that are only possible with tight three part harmony.

Gah....Brian's sense of harmony was absurdly beautiful; like religious music for a religion that doesn't exist. I especially love the interesting "passing chords" in this song...like at 0:31. "Warmth of the Sun" has great passing chords too. Brian had this uncanny ability to mix traditional 'easy on the ear' harmonies with unconventional exotic tonalities, creating such an idiosyncratic sonic world. Good Vibrations is probably the pinnacle of that imo. Wilson called it his "pocket symphony"...which is a perfect description!

My anthem as a kid with abusive, alcoholic parents. I won. They didn't. I have always loved the Beachboys for this song, even when my law firm lost millions in a lawsuit with them. It did not matter to me, it wasn't my kuleana. Their music meant more to me than a few paychecks. It always has, and always will.

i don't know why anyone could dislike the beach boys, they are a one of a kind genius band and i'll stand by it till i die

Introvert anthem right here.

If this was anymore beautiful than it is, I'd start to cry. It's an absolutely perfect song. And to think it was written and recorded in 1963...! The production, the sound, the colors, the depth; it's breathtaking.

My all-time favorite Beach Boys song. Period.
