The Beach Boys — Our Prayer Session

Brian: Ahhh-Ah-oooo. Jim: Take your time, Brian. Mike: Listen girl, I said "I gotta go out, buy me some new shoes." I told her, European too, "I have to run around with rags on my feet". Hallelujah, you got some fine some rags on your feet. I mean, I told the man "Shit, I needs credit". Brian: Ah-ooo. Dennis: Oo-ooo. Brian: No, "Ah-oo". Dennis: Brian, it's "Oo-oo"! Carl: Oo-ooo. Is that the last chance you do it or the last note? Dennis: Brian it's, "Ooooo", it's not, "Ah-ooo". It's "oo-oo". Al: Right. Brian: Okay, "Oo-oo". Carl: Big deal. Brian: One, two, three... [Our Prayer: Take 1] Dennis: Un-un. Mike: Wait a minute. Really. Al: I'm sorry, but I just... Brian: Let's do it again. Carl: Hey, the last two notes are "Oo-oo". You guys, no "ah". Okay, but not everybody's doing it. Not everybody's... Bruce: You putting a track in sync to this? Brian: Yeah. Bruce: Okay let's get the pitch really on it now. Brian: Okay, now watch the changes and the thing goes... Carl: I think you two better get in cause Dennis and I were really loud. [Our Prayer: Take 2] Bruce: We're off. Jim: Try again. Carl: Try- Try not to make your voices so harsh but make 'em "ahhh". Make 'em like really, "aaahhhhh". They don't have to be, "ennnhh". Brian: Alright, get in. Move in, please. Come on, sing out now. Bruce: But don't block too much of that, otherwise you get a false... Al: Okay, great. Brian: One, two... [Our Prayer: Take 3] Carl: Hey, this one will get it! This is... Mike: We should be doin' "Good Vibration" anyway. Brian: Let's get it. Let's go. Bruce: Would it be better if I didn't sing it and you just...? Brian: Come on! Let's just... Are you singing, Carl? Are you singing? Mike: Nobody's changing, or some shit. Carl: There were no changes. Dennis: You're the one who was changin', Mike. You and I. Because I changed and... Bruce: Getting better. It's cool but it's getting better. Al: Alright, 32. Brian: 32. Dennis: 32! We're almost up to Little Miss America. Brian: Hit the thing solid. Right on the note. Two, three... [Our Prayer: Take 32] Brian: I rushed it. It's gettin' better. I don't understand the mo- the thing that's happening there. Dennis: Well... [sings part]. Right? Brian: Yeah. Mike: Is that it? Brian: Yeah. Mike: Okay, then try again. Brian: One, two, three... [Our Prayer: Take 33] Brian: I know what it is, we're not doin' it fast enough and we're not- it's not moving there. Mike: I'm hittin' the note. Brian: Something's not happening with it, though. Here we go. Two, three... [Our Prayer: Take 34] Brian: Take it soft and build it. Here we go. One, two, three... [Our Prayer: Take 35] Brian: One more time. Mike: Hey, wait a sec. Where is it from, my ending note? Brian: A whole octave, man. Mike: Yeah! That's what I figured. Brian: Hey, that's cool! Pick an octave. Here we go: One, two, three... [Our Prayer: Take 36] Carl: I was bad. Brian: Carl, you're just gonna have to make that change. Carl: Alright, I can't do it. Okay, I'm doing it the wrong way. Got it. Brian: Two, three... [Our Prayer: Take 37] Al: Which one is it? Alright. Brian: Yeah! I went like this: "wHOOAAAaa" and Al was running that way. Al was looking like this, ya know, waiting for the ball, and about 4 guys break his leg up. Isn't that how it went? Al: That's right Brian. Brian: Well, I- If you could've seen you, man! You just really... Al: Let's go! Hey, hey! Mike: Imagine?? Brian: Come on, Jardine. Ah...two... [Our Prayer: Take 38] Mike: Can you turn out these little light-os up here? Carl: Make it very dim in here. We can see what we're doing. Mike: Fancí luminato. Al: Can't even hear what we're doing in here. Carl: Those lights are the things that are...yeah...off with that one. Al: Ah! It's beautiful, Carl! Lets...give me the note, Brian. Brian: One, two... [Our Prayer: Take 39] Brian: You're not building enough, Al. Al: It's not fast enough, Brian. Carl: First off, it's not fast enough. Al: It's draggy, man. Carl: It's not fast enough, Brian. Brian: Okay, move it a little faster. Okay let's take a breath now. Jim: Take 4. Part 4, take 3. Brian: Yeah, okay. Here we go. One, two... [Our Prayer: Part 4, Take 3] Brian: Why are we losin' our breath? Al: How can it be that long? Jim: Part 4, take 12. Brian: Okay, here we go, now. One, two... [Our Prayer: Part 4, Take 12] Brian: Excuse me. Mike: Try to do it again. Carl: I think we should all do them separate, I swear to God. Mike: Well, do it! Al: Let's do it with it! Brian: One more, please. Al: Watch his hand you guys. Mike: When we doin' "Wonderful"? Brian: Um...when you wanna do it? Mike: Tomorrow night? Brian: We don't have anything till Thursday and Friday. Mike: Oh. Okay. Carl: Why can't we do "Wonderful"? Brian: Not tonight. I'm glad we got this thing done. I really am. I would like everyone to sing out cause it's a big ending. Let's just do it fast and get it over with. Al: So should we outline? Brian: I don't think you're moving with my conduction. Carl: Are you looking at...? Al: Yes, I am. Brian: Here it goes. Earphones! Al: We're doin' the whole bit? Brian: Yeah. One, two... [Our Prayer: Part 4, Take 13]
