Your Imagination

About Your Imagination

"Your Imagination" is a song written by Brian Wilson, Joe Thomas and Steve Dahl for Brian Wilson's 1998 solo album Imagination. An alternate version of "Your Imagination" with slightly different lyrics and Steve Dahl singing lead was occasionally played in the late 1990s on Dahl's Chicago-based radio shows on WLUP-FM and WCKG. Brian Wilson supplied the vocals on both lead and harmony through overdubbing. The lyrics refer obliquely to nostalgia for The Beach Boys ("another car running fast; another song on the beach," "I took a trip to the past"), while the arrangement references The Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper" with the piccolo trumpet in the chorus. The Giant Records CD single release, on Giant 9280, included an a cappella version of the "Your Imagination" along with the album track "Happy Days." "Your Imagination" was featured in the live setlist for Brian Wilson's European tour in 2011. more »

Another car running fast
Another song on the beach
I take a trip through the past
When summer's way out of reach
Another walk in the park
When I need something to do
And when I feel all alone
Sometimes I think about you
You take my hand
Smile and say you don't understand
To look in your eyes
And see what you feel
And then realize that nothing's for real
'Cause you know it's just

Your imagination running wild

Another bucket of sand
Another wave and the pier
I miss the way that I used
To call the shots around here
You know it would've been nice
If I had something to do
I took a trip through the past
And got to spend it with you
You take my hand
Smile and say you don't understand
To look in your eyes
And see what you feel
And then realize that nothing's for real
'Cause you know it's just

Your imagination running wild
