  • «Surf's Up» es una canción escrita por Brian Wilson y Van Dyke Parks para el grupo de rock estadounidense The Beach Boys. Fue originalmente la pieza central del tan celebrado, SMiLE, esta canción es uno de los principales ejemplos de la colaboración entre el compositor Brian Wilson y Van Dyke Parks. El título es un guiño irónico a los temas antiguos del grupo dedicados al surf, pero nada en la canción hace referencia al deporte. La letra detalla la experiencia de un hombre que vive un despertar espiritual, se resigna a Dios y a la alegría de la iluminación, y profetiza una esperanza para aquellos que consigan capturar la inocencia de la juventud. Una melodía clásica influenciada con tiempos extraños y excéntricos bajos, todas las notas que se mezclan para crear una sinfonía pop virtual. Líricamente, la canción es igual: Parks y Wilson fueron, según la leyenda, inspirados por las tensiones de los Estados Unidos en la época de las masivas protestas por la guerra de Vietnam.​ Tras abandonar Smile en 1967, se le fue cambiada la pista vocal a la canción, y se publicó como la última canción del álbum con el mismo título en 1971 de The Beach Boys. Brian Wilson regrabó la canción para su Smile de 2004. (es)
  • "Surf's Up" is a song recorded by the American rock band the Beach Boys that was written by Brian Wilson and Van Dyke Parks. It was originally intended for Smile, an unfinished Beach Boys album that was scrapped in 1967. The song was later completed by Brian and Carl Wilson as the closing track of the band's 1971 album Surf's Up. Nothing in the song relates to surfing; the title is a play-on-words referring to the group shedding their image. The lyrics describe a man at a concert hall who experiences a spiritual awakening and resigns himself to God and the joy of enlightenment, the latter envisioned as a children's song. Musically, the song was composed as a two-movement piece that modulates key several times and avoids conventional harmonic resolution. It features a coda based on another Smile track, "Child Is Father of the Man". The only surviving full-band recording of "Surf's Up" from the 1960s is the basic backing track of the first movement. There are three known recordings of Wilson performing the full song by himself, two of which were filmed for the 1967 documentary Inside Pop: The Rock Revolution, where it was described as "too complex" to comprehend on a first listen. Several years after Smile was scrapped, the band added new vocals and synthesizer overdubs to Wilson's first piano performance as well as the original backing track. Another recording from 1967 was found decades later and released for the 2011 compilation The Smile Sessions. "Surf's Up" failed to chart when issued as a single in November 1971 with the B-side "Don't Go Near the Water". In 2004, Wilson rerecorded it for his solo version of Smile with new string orchestrations that he had originally intended to include in the piece. Pitchfork later included the song in separate rankings of the 200 finest songs of the 1960s and 1970s, and in 2011, Mojo staff members voted it the greatest Beach Boys song. As of 2020, it is listed among the 800-most highly rated songs of all time on Acclaimed Music. (en)

  • Inside Pop host David Oppenheim introduced "Surf's Up" as "a new song, too complex to get all of [the] first time around". This excerpt is from an unused take that was recorded for Inside Pop. It was later configured into the first released version of the song from 1971. (en)

  • When I was in their picture everything was whirling in a big flux. "Wilder women!" we were calling. "Madder wine!" And I came up with that title, it was so simple, in the context of the excitement it seemed obvious: "Surf's Up." (en)
