Brian Wilson citations

Brian Wilson, né le 20 juin 1942 à Hawthorne, Californie, est un bassiste, auteur-compositeur et chanteur nord-américain. Il est connu pour avoir composé les plus grands succès des Beach Boys , groupe au sein duquel il officia comme chanteur, bassiste, producteur et compositeur. L'album Pet Sounds, sorti en 1966, qu'il a conçu presque en totalité, est régulièrement cité parmi les plus grands albums pop/rock de tous les temps.

Engagé à partir de 1965 dans une intense rivalité artistique avec les Beatles, il a exercé une influence considérable sur le groupe britannique, et au-delà sur la musique pop dans son ensemble, bien qu'il ait lui-même rapidement été submergé par sa propre ambition, au point de sombrer dans une longue période de marasme créatif et de dépression dont il ne sortira véritablement qu'au début des années 2000.

Brian Wilson: Citations en anglais

“My mother used to tell me about vibrations.”

"The Beach Boys: The Healing of Brother Brian" http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/the-healing-of-brother-brian-the-rolling-stone-interview-with-the-beach-boys-19761104?page=6 in Rolling Stone (4 November 1976)
Contexte: My mother used to tell me about vibrations. I didn't really understand too much of what that meant when I was just a boy. It scared me, the word "vibrations." To think that invisible feelings, invisible vibrations existed, scared me to death. But she told about dogs that would bark at people and then not bark at others, that a dog would pick up vibrations from these people that you can't see, but you can feel. And the same existed with people.

“I wanted to write joyful music that made other people feel good.”
