Nighttime indeed, lifetime, it's our lifetime, and it's the right time for me.
Nighttime indeed, lifetime, it's our lifetime, and it's the right time for me.
Cause the sun shines a little too bright, my eyes can't take that light.
Will you be waiting there, in the cold of the twilight air?
That's where will we become?
Nighttime indeed, lifetime, it's our lifetime, and it's the right time for me.
Nighttime indeed, lifetime, it's our lifetime, and it's the right time for me.
I know where the sun meets strong, eight hours is a little too long.
When I see the sun goin' down, I drive to the edge of town, and it's the right
time for me.
Nighttime indeed, lifetime, it's our lifetime, and it's the right time for me.
Nighttime indeed, lifetime, it's our lifetime, and it's the right time for me.
Nighttime indeed, lifetime, it's our lifetime, and it's our lifetime, and it's

So there it goes, so I'm singin' down, it's gettin' dark.
I know where the sun is, and it's our lifetime, and it's our lifetime, and it's
our lifetime.
I never heard, everyone has come back in time.

Good to see you, Brian. Thank you for being here.
Brian Wilson.
Sounds great.
You know
When I was a kid
I was like 12, 13, 14, 15
In that time period
And I started hearing your music
It changed my life
Did it really hear you saying that?
No, I'm not. Well, I am just saying it
I mean, we just heard me say it
All I wanted to do was surf
Yeah, I never learned that
That's too dangerous for me
Did you ever try it at all?
I tried it once and the board just missed my eye
Yeah, I thought that was it for me
And I lived through it, you know, but I just thought it was so dangerous
So I don't try it. Yeah, it was it was tough for me living in Indiana
Yeah. Oh, I see
Yeah, let's surf the bathtub or something
Yeah, but it for a kid it just changed my
My whole outlook on life
Um, so the album's doing great, isn't it?
Oh, you know, I got a big break on that
I mean, uh, gee, you know, the single didn't do real well
But the album's like number 40 in the trades
Yeah, that's like a good measure of a man's success
Yeah
How high he goes up the trades
When was the last time you actually had musical work on an album that was out
commercially?
Musical work? Yeah, when was the last time you recorded?
Well, you mean prior to this one?
Yeah
Oh, gee, about four years ago with the Beach Boys
Yeah
But nothing happened with it, so we didn't quit
I mean, there's no such thing as quitting in life
But it was certainly disappointing
Yeah, you dropped a lot of weight, didn't you?
Yeah, 130 pounds, actually
Gee, you couldn't
How much did you, I guess this is embarrassing, but you could serve it as an
inspiration to others
How much did you weigh at your heaviest?
Ah, gee, that's embarrassing, 300
Yeah, well, yeah, you know, that did happen to me
You don't see a lot of 300 pound surfers
No, you don't
And then also there was a time in your life when people were saying that, you
know, Brian Wilson has a, he's got a sandbox in his house
Oh, man
Was that true?
That's true, but I gotta explain why I had it in my house
Because
You had cats
You know, when you play a piano, and you're sitting in the sand with the piano,
you can close your eyes and you can actually be on the beach
You know what I mean? You can actually be there
If you close your eyes, you can actually be in a place like that
Yeah, it's easier than dragging the piano down
Oh, yeah
Yeah
You don't have to worry about the mildew
Yeah, right
Ah, geez, it's great to have you here, you look terrific, and congratulations
on everything
Thank you very much
We'll be right back, brother
