- «Fire» es un instrumental inacabado escrito y producido por Brian Wilson para el proyecto SMiLE de The Beach Boys. Estaba destinado a ser una parte de "The Elements", una suite musical prevista para SMiLE. Creyendo que la grabación contenía habilidades pirocinéticas, Wilson archivó la pista indefinidamente, y luego dijo que había quemado las cintas máster. La composición fue regrabada varios meses más tarde cuando "Fire" fue grabada nuevamente con un arreglo minimizado, rebautizado como "Fall Breaks and Back to Winter (W. Woodpecker Symphony)", y luego publicado para el álbum Smiley Smile de 1967. Bajo el título "Mrs. O'Leary's Cow", Wilson completó "Fire" como solista en 2004 para Brian Wilson Presents Smile. En 2011, la grabación original de The Beach Boys en 1966 se lanzó en varias formas compuestas como "The Elements: Fire (Mrs. O'Leary's Cow)" para la recopilación The Smile Sessions. Wilson fue galardonado con el Premio Grammy a la Mejor Interpretación Instrumental de Rock, el primero, por "Mrs. O'Leary's Cow". (es)
- "Fire" (also known as "The Elements – Part 1" and "Mrs. O'Leary's Cow") is an instrumental by American musician Brian Wilson that he originally composed for the Beach Boys' never-finished album Smile. Named after Catherine O'Leary and the Great Chicago Fire, the track was originally conceptualized as part of "The Elements", a four-part movement based on the four classical elements: Air, Fire, Earth, and Water. Wilson's friends, family, and colleagues later referred to its recording as heralding his period of psychosis and the unraveling of the Smile project. Wilson produced "Fire" on November 28, 1966 at Gold Star Studios with 15 session musicians, including three bassists, four flutists, and a string sextet. The track was arranged to evoke images of a conflagration and was recorded under unusual conditions. To help set the mood, Wilson instructed everyone in the studio to don a fire helmet, and had a bucket of burning wood placed in the recording space so that the area would smell of smoke. Within a few days of the session, Wilson was frightened to learn that a nearby building had burned down shortly after the recording was made. He believed that the recording had somehow contributed to the fire and decided to shelve the track, as well as the rest of the Smile album, referring to it as "witchcraft music". In 1967, the band reworked the piece as "Fall Breaks and Back to Winter (W. Woodpecker Symphony)". In 2004, Wilson rerecorded "Fire" under the title "Mrs. O'Leary's Cow" for his album Brian Wilson Presents Smile. It earned him his first Grammy Award, winning in the category of Best Rock Instrumental Performance. In 2011, the original Beach Boys recording was released for The Smile Sessions. (en)
- The Elements: Fire, conosciuto anche con i titoli The Elements, Fire, e Mrs. O'Leary's Cow, è un brano strumentale composto dal musicista statunitense Brian Wilson. La traccia doveva originariamente essere inclusa nel celebre "album perduto" dei Beach Boys del 1967 intitolato Smile, come parte di una suite ispirata ai quattro elementi naturali: acqua, fuoco, terra, aria. Tuttavia il brano vide la luce soltanto nel 2004, quando, registrato nuovamente e intitolato Mrs. O'Leary's Cow, venne incluso nell'album solista di Wilson intitolato Brian Wilson Presents Smile, sua personale versione dello Smile mai pubblicato. Nel 2011 The Elements: Fire è stata infine pubblicata nella sua forma originale ancorché incompleta nel cofanetto The Smile Sessions, box set antologico che ricostruisce filologicamente l'album originale.

- We were doing witchcraft, trying to make witchcraft music. I was stoned on hashish and grass and I got a little too much into this one tape called "Fire". Then, a place burned down the same day we did the song. And I said to myself, "Somehow we must have burned the building down." (en)
- A gigantic fire howled out of the studio speakers in a pounding crush of pictorial music that summoned up visions of roaring, wind-storm flames, falling timbers, mournful sirens and sweating firemen, building into a peak and cackling off into fading embers as a single drum turned into a collapsing wall and the fire engines dissolved and disappeared.
