"Cabinessence" (also typeset as "Cabin Essence") is a song by the American rock band the Beach Boys from their 1969 album 20/20 and their unfinished Smile project. Written by Brian Wilson and Van Dyke Parks, Wilson described the song as a "rock and roll waltz" about railroads, while Parks offered that the pair were attempting to write a song that would end on "a freeze frame of the Union Pacific Railroad". The instrumentation includes banjo, cello, dobro, bouzouki, fuzz-tone bass, trumpet, accordion, and percussion that was arranged to sound like the pounding of rail spikes.

  • "Cabinessence" (also typeset as "Cabin Essence") is a song by the American rock band the Beach Boys from their 1969 album 20/20 and their unfinished Smile project. Written by Brian Wilson and Van Dyke Parks, Wilson described the song as a "rock and roll waltz" about railroads, while Parks offered that the pair were attempting to write a song that would end on "a freeze frame of the Union Pacific Railroad". The instrumentation includes banjo, cello, dobro, bouzouki, fuzz-tone bass, trumpet, accordion, and percussion that was arranged to sound like the pounding of rail spikes. During the initial recording for the song, in late 1966, Parks was called in to the studio to settle a dispute from Mike Love over the lyrics, which Love felt may have contained references to drug culture, something he did not wish to be associated with. Although Parks refused to explain the song to Love, he sang the lines despite his reservations. Parks subsequently disassociated himself from the project, leaving "Cabinessence" unfinished until November 1968, when Wilson's bandmates overdubbed additional vocals onto the recording. It was then included as the closing track on 20/20. Wilson later remade "Cabinessence" as a solo artist for his 2004 album Brian Wilson Presents Smile. "Cabinessence" remains one of the central pieces of the Smile mythos. In 2011, Mojo issued "Cabinessence" as a single, backed with "Wonderful", to promote the forthcoming release of The Smile Sessions. In 2012, the magazine ranked it the 11th-greatest Beach Boys song, deeming it "Smile in microcosm" and a "misunderstood masterpiece". Biographer Jon Stebbins said that its "demonic chanting" exemplified "some of the most haunting, manic, evil-sounding music the Beach Boys ever made". (en)
  • «Cabinessence» o «Cabin Essence» es una canción escrita por Brian Wilson y Van Dyke Parks para la banda de rock estadounidense The Beach Boys que se editó por primera vez en su álbum 20/20 de 1969. Originalmente fue concebida para el inédito SMiLE. Según el periodista Nick Kent, la canción "yuxtapone tanto las referencias musicales occidentales y orientales avanzadas" con una "presencia oriental", haciendo uso de banjo y armónica, así como la percusión en el coro diseñado para emular el sonido de los trabajadores que ensamblan el tren.​ "Cabinessence" ha recibido grandes reconocimientos en los últimos años como pista stand-out en 20/20.​ El biógrafo Jon Stebbins observó que el "canto demoníaco" de la canción que a su juicio ejemplifica "algo de la música más inquietante, maníaco, que los Beach Boys jamás han hecho".​ MOJO describió "Cabinessence" como "Smile en el microcosmos. De gran alcance, sin precedentes en su ambición y tanto como un enigma sónico no resuelto como el álbum para el que había sido escrito, esta fue la obra maestra incomprendida que causó que Mike Love abandonará la sesión y el proyecto se desplomara".​ (es)
  • Cabinessence, conosciuto anche con il titolo Cabin Essence, è un brano musicale composto nel 1966 da Brian Wilson e Van Dyke Parks per il gruppo pop rock statunitense The Beach Boys. La traccia doveva originariamente essere inclusa nel celebre "album perduto" dei Beach Boys del 1967 intitolato Smile. Tuttavia il brano vide la luce soltanto tre anni dopo, quando, registrato nuovamente fu inserito nell'album 20/20. Nel 2011 Cabin Essence è stata infine pubblicata nella sua forma originale ancorché incompleta nel cofanetto The Smile Sessions, box set antologico che ricostruisce filologicamente l'album originale. Il soggetto della canzone, secondo quanto dichiarato da Wilson, dovrebbe essere la "ferrovia", e nel pezzo egli voleva incapsulare l'immagine di lavoratori cinesi che battono i picconi sulle rotaie mentre le loro menti si "allontanano su un binario diverso" dopo aver notato un corvo che vola sopra di loro. Secondo il giornalista musicale , la canzone "sovrappone elementi di musica americana sia della costa occidentale che orientale in modo raffinato" con una certa "atmosfera orientale", resa dall'impiego di banjo e armonica a bocca, come anche dalle percussioni nel ritornello, designate ad emulare il suono dei lavoratori che costruiscono la ferrovia. Cabinessence ha ricevuto il plauso della critica quale uno dei punti forti di 20/20. Il biografo fece notare il "canto demoniaco" nella canzone che egli credeva esemplificasse "la musica più ossessionante, maniacale e malvagia che i Beach Boys abbiano mai inciso". La rivista Mojo descrisse Cabinessence: "Composizione di ampio respiro, senza precedenti nella sua ambizione e tanto un enigma sonoro irrisolto quanto l'album per cui era stato scritto, questo fu il capolavoro incompreso che scatenò le ire di Mike Love e causò il fallimento del progetto di Smile."

  • I think Van Dyke is really talented, brilliant, and fun. ... Just because I said I didn't know what [the words] meant didn't mean I didn't like them. ... And it wasn't like I was against his lyrics. But people don’t know the way I think. And they don’t give a fuck about the way I think, either. ... I was just asking: What did it mean? (en)
